What's the point of Iron Banner?
Hey Guys,
Just wanted to ask what's the point of doing Iron Banner when you lose all your progress and the gear is on par with Crota raid gear?
Seems pointless to me.

#Destiny

Have you seen Crota gear and IB gear? Crota gear is hella ugly on Titan so excuse me if I don't want to look stupid. Iron banner gear is the shit!
-
It's so you can shoot the bad guys my brother
-
When youve got 3 32s and all the raid gear and weapons...IB lol
-
Gear looks better and at the moment the only weapons you can reroll. Plus it gives ppl an excuse to pvp when they mainly pve so they can work on grimoire.
-
some people don't want to or cant find teams to raid. this is a way for Bungie to allow everyone to reach the same level. Also there are a lot of PVP people that would rather do IB than raid for their gear. IM not a PVP guy but I still love the Banner just for the change of pace. And you can reroll weapons for the perks you want

2 RepliesTo get people to quit destiny. Iron banner is one of the most frustrating parts of the game.

For the weapons

12 RepliesIt's called " having fun". You should try it.
-
It's fun mostly and I would say it's better than regular crucible
-
I just go for ye unique armour personally
-
Personally, I have a blast playing. I've never experienced this overwhelming barrage of whatever weapon the community is dumping on for the week... I actually see a ton of variety. I've never really had a bad game, unlike in standard crucible. Until recently I had no one to roll CE with, so IB was my way of getting to 32. Personally... The great looks better and if you play every event, to can get some sweet weapons. Spear, demise, and lash... All great guns.

Edited by ---: 4/29/2015 11:00:27 AM1) Gives non-PvE & DLC players a chance to get to max levels 2) Possibility for unique gear and weapons (latter has ability to re-roll perks - although this is negated by ability to do so in HoW) 3) Taking part in a community-wide weekly event 4) If you play a lot of Crucible anyway then this is an easy to way to get good loot whilst not changing your game

I could rock titan ib gear any day over ce gear.
-
Earning decent reforgable weapons and gear without reliance on RNG.
-
Sick of the strikes and raids plus ib gear looks majestic.

Edited by xvRavage: 4/29/2015 10:54:55 AMJust want that helm and scout rifle
-
I ask myself the same question..it's full of Thorn's and TLW's..also Red Death's
-
Great weapons you can get custom rolls on
-
Just for people who want the gear/weapons nothing more
-
I agree. Totally pointless. I'd rather spend my time levelling up other things instead
-
Because I hate to raid
-
Because its an event
-
It seems even more pointless now that you can reforge all of the HoW weapons, thought that was the whole draw of IB, now its just for the gear really i suppose.
-
You can guarantee 2 level 36 armour pieces instead of random nonsense in Crota. That's the point, at least for me.

Getting the shader

1 ReplySaves stressing over never getting Blackhammer. So you can get Efrideet's Spear in like 3 days. Inb4 I get Spear then Blackhammer drops for me this weekend
