    Just wait until you see all the "original" Titan Defenders bubbling your zones and doing

    1) The Carlton
    2) Come at me
    or
    3) The Neo thing.

    Over and over and over...

    This is pretty much my plan for the next 7 days.

    My buddy and I have a twist on this that has proven pretty entertaining so far.

    It involves the defender hiding while a striker taunts enemies into the bubble en masse.

    You can practically hear the shrieks of surprise-rage through the internet.

    We're reading Rifts. You should too. You know you want to. Now With Ninjas!

    They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

    Anyone had any IB items drop yet? My assumption is that while the vendor versions are set at 280, the random rewards versions can drop at higher light.

    I was unaware you could get IB gear via strike rewards.

    Has that always been the case?

    They have apparently made it so that in an Iron Bananna match, you can get the weapons and the armor as drops now. I believe it used to only be the weapons and only those that had been sold the previous IB run. They say that they've changed that so that it's the current selection on sale. They may want you to use the purchases as ways to get the weapons or armor you don't get during the regular run instead of being the thing you hunt for. Of course, if you like the perks on the guns and armor, they will be available during the timeframe of the event.


    So is it just the gear currently for sale (i.e. just boots) or can any of it drop?

    Also, a few orbits and I can't find a single person in Court. Everyone must be doing Irate Bowels.

    I need to do a T3!

    I read that as you pass through the hallway from the Hull Breach to the Hall of Souls, go verrrrry slooooowly. The system is matchmaking you with players in there ala Crucible, but the hall is too short to work that quickly. People said they tried it and it works. This was all on Reddit, so YMMV.

    Also going slowly? This preparation to download. Why are you preparing? Just go!

    Reading the words they used in the update from a couple weeks ago...
    Potential match completion rewards now include both weapons and armor, matching the same items available from Lord Saladin during each event.

    Drop rates have been increased and are intended to be the primary source of rewards from Iron Banner. If you don't get what you're hoping for, you have the option to visit Lord Saladin instead.

    I'm going to guess that it's probably just the weapons and armor Saladin is selling. So, this time it appears to be only boots armor wise.

    I am wondering if the range nerf for shotties was just Shot Package removal, because otherwise Chaperone might be Craperone now.

    Also, "unable to buy boons once a card has been started"

    I wonder if this explains why rocket yards never has anyone when you come from the divide, but has plenty of people if you come from the strike tunnel.

    294 Light. Poured like 70 motes into leveling my Defender NBP spec, but I'm goddamn ready for this.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    What a way to start Iron Banner.

    First match I get put into I'm THE ONLY FUCKING GUY ON MY TEAM.

    On the other side is a fireteam of 5 and 1 other guy?

    At least give me the pubbie on their team for fucks sake.

    Jesus christ Bungie, how fucking bad are you at programming this shit. The levels of incompetence astound me.

    Getting 9-0 is gonna be tricky. If you buy both boons and win, you will jump to 3 wins. But they match you with people who have the same amount of wins now. So each victory is gonna be harder and harder.

    8-0 is gonna be fucking nervewacking

    Well, don't take my word for it. I'm only guessing, mind you. I'm just saying that people may want to temper their expectations regarding what drops they could get from the Iron Butterfly.

    I did really want the Cloak, but I can't put up with this crap.

    I think I'm done with PvP. In fact, I think I'm done spending money on Destiny entirely. The next time the expansion caroussel comes around again I'm probably getting off permanently. In fact I'm regretting getting TTK.

    Nothing has changed with this laggy bullshit and getting disconnected out of matches even though I've been perfectly fine in normal crucible prior to Iron Banner.

    I mean yeah the lag is an issue. But in general every time IB rolls around there are some early lag problems then it seems to resolve. I remember some bad games in previous IBs, but they were rare.

    Bungie, seriously, do you have any clue what youre doing? Iron Banner, for the pvpers and people who don't wait to raid ti be able to get raid level gear. Isn't that how it started? Serious business mode where light and gear matters, so raiding equipment is better, but thus was supposed to be the other option.

    Raid starts at 290, let's have all vendor gear be 280, makes total sense!

    Oooh, new iron banner, should have raid quality equipment. Nope, 280 light, and only boots at that.

    Wtf?

  • CroakerCroaker Registered User regular
    Not debuting Trials 2.0 with a new set of armor pretty much kills any desire I have to try and slog through it. Too much stress for so little reward.

    Banner is usually a good balance, especially with the Medallions in place. However, if all you can earn via drops is what is being sold, I am far less likely to do this on more than one character.

    Bungie is utterly incapable of taking steps towards fun without taking at least one back.

    That is actually not how it started, no. It was several Iron Banners before it dropped raid-equivalent gear. First dropped 28 gear (only one in Vanilla), second dropped 31 gear (post-TDB), and it wasn't until two Iron Banners hence that it started dropping a *mix* of 31 and 32 gear.

    The gear that drops is a higher light level than 280. My friend just got the hunter cloak at 292. I'm guessing the max is 300.
