They did it. They ruined Iron Banner
They truly did it. They removed the one thing that made Iron Banner unique. Our power level no longer matters.
I enjoyed it when i was out leveled in D1 by 20+ Light. THAT is what makes skill matter. Outplaying a team that out ranks you in power.
Now the playing field is leveled like the rest of crucible. Atleast the gear looks nice. To bad it will be -10 of your power.
I guess there is one other brightside. For one week we can choose a playlist that doesnt change game modes. Guess its to bad its Control and not Clash.
Come on bungie.. What players are you even trying to cater to anymore. I want the thrill back. The grind. The excitment that comes when Salad Hands doesnt have the gun for sale you want and three days in the gun drops for you after a match.. Bungie. What have you done.
Needless to say, i will still play a few matches a day because if this game ever does become what it was Destined to be i dont want to come back in with catch up to do.

Do you actually realise how little power level actually mattered in IB D1? It literally didn’t matter unless you were 20+ levels higher than someone and even then it was minuscule, they confirmed this themselves. If anything it alienated low levels and gave us less people to play against meaning worser connections and longer matchmaking on a shrinking community. The only things ruined are the fact that it’s 4v4 instead of 6v6. Although I prefer 6v6, 4v4 control is OK. And that there may not be a weapon on sale however loot may drop from trading in tokens at IB vendor I assume or hope. We will have to wait and see.

3 RepliesUhh gear only looks good on hunter. They -blam!-ed the Titan n warlock w that stupid pony tail looking shyt.
-
TBH it didn't make much of a difference in D1 because of all the ways to reach max level

[b]They Did It. They Ruined Destiny[/b] Fixed it for ya

Your power level is completely meaningless in d2. Yes you need to be certain power level to do a few activities or you'll die in seconds. But your never actually get to feel more powerful.....ever! Now not even in crucible events. So if you don't do the raid or nightfalls, there's no reason to even bother increasing your light level at all.......pretty lame!
-
1 ReplyIB was ruined in D1 too, there was never anything "special" to it. If a power level is what made it unique then this community loves mediocrity when various other events had a power level advantage lol.
-
Edited by Corrick II: 10/6/2017 5:47:52 PMI don't remember power level being an issue when it "mattered", I would repeatedly go in under leveled and do just fine. Maybe now it will be more challenging since you have to rely on gun skill, not power level? I don't know... It's all about getting gear anyway, what's the problem? You guys actually get off on being "the best" in a video game?

3 RepliesYeah 🤔 My question is, why do all these end game PvP playlists not have light level enabled? IB, Trials, even Competitive playlist. They should all have light level enabled. If Bungie plans to eliminate it, just don’t have it listed at all. Then again, I guess it’s better for them to list it so there is no confusion amongst the community. But yeah, I haven’t understood why light level/advantage is always disabled. I bet it’s something stupid like they haven’t figured it out yet. I’m pretty sure in D1 LL was enabled the first Iron Banner and the first Trials.

2 RepliesI'm just here to bitch about IB not being 6v6. Come on Bungie! What is the thought process with 4v4? I would really like an explanation? If this one PVP event was special it would make us want to do it even more... What's the glitch? 6v6 makes things crazy fun (or sometimes frustrating) ... Come on... DO IT! Get to the chopper!!! But on the other hand The armor looks amazing!

All iron banner is now is quickplay with different tokens.... Not only did the ruin pve, now they screwing pvp
-
I cannot believe light level doesn’t matter in Iron Banner. The reason I grinded was to stomp in PvP and that has been completely removed. Coupled with the no random rolls there is officially no reason for me to grind anymore. Very sad. Bungie messed this game up in so many ways. Really disappointed.
-
With the "new" wepon system (energy weapons mainly here) I argue that it now takes more skill of fight an equal opponent. Now lower light characters can out play someone who is 300+. And light was a factor in trials why not complain about that? Over all I don't think iron banner is "ruined".
-
How do you figure being underleveled in destiny 1 was fun in games like trials and iron banner? It relied on ZERO skill, if you were max light of 400 and fighting people 10+ levels below you. Destiny 2 is where all the gameplay skill resides because no one has level advantages. No one would participate in iron banner or trials if it meant going against full teams of 305s, with so many in the community still being below 270. That's not fun, that's boring and a slaughterfest. If i wanted to do something boring, i'd go play horde bash in fortnite again. That shit is boring.
-
30 RepliesIt's just gonna be a mida fest anyway. The snowflakes are just gonna use the one gun that seems to make them good... Played 4 games last night and every game the majority gun was mida. It was a relief to see someone run towards me with a sword. I just stood there and let him take me....
-
3 RepliesI think it is a good thing. With so many people playing with the Mida Multi-Crutch, now it is just about who shoots who first and not an entire team of 305 multi-crutchers completely mowing down everyone
-
19 RepliesSkill didn't exist in D1.
-
So you're upset that you won't lose to people just because they do more damage to you?
-
Edited by Patient3591: 10/6/2017 5:00:16 PMI guess now we know why they removed the ability to choose your game mode in Crucible. They needed [i]something[/i] to make Iron Banner stand out, so since it can't be the Light enabled PvP mode any more, now it's the "we won't force you to play Supremacy" mode.
-
Ok, but the same people who said ‘Your LL doesn’t even matter that much, git gud.’ In Destiny 1, are the same ones crying in their milk over the level advantages being disabled in D2... people are just gonna bitch. Period. Truth is, shit don’t matter. At all. Even playing field, powerwise, just means you have to shoot better. Time to take your own advice?
-
12 RepliesControl absolutely sucks balls as a 4v4
-
I think the main problem other than no weapons is that if you do play iron banner this week and obtain all armor for each character you will not have any reason to play it the next time around as it really is just like quickplay matches
-
So out of the the unbearable 4v4,how long matches take,the boring ability regen,or the thousand other things you could've complained about,you actually decide to whine about powere levels. Who cares when everyone is just gonna spam scouts.
-
Big deal. Power level doesn't showcase or represent any true skill. In that respect, Iron Banner is better.
-
It should have been called, tokentrol
-
Not sure if you noticed, but trials is also no longer level dependent.....
-
17 RepliesYou forgot to mention that you'll probably never get a full set but rather a bunch of useless stuff or duplicates.
