Loaded question...

How are you all enjoying Iron Banner? I personally will not be partaking, but I'm curious about what you all think and feel about it after almost a 6 month layoff...

  • Hard to say, was to distracted by the lag and poor balancing.

    • I haven't played it and don't plan too.

      • Ran into some mind boggling cheaters in 2 matches. But otherwise I’ve had fun and been able to hold my own and contribute. Not sure why, but I’m always more successful at IB than any other PVP.

        • Because The Iron Banner was on a long hiatus, I decided to play both Control and Eruption. Guardian Games Supremacy was so detested that it made me enjoy Iron Banner Eruption. 🤣

          • Gilded already. Matches are on average more balanced than last times, I should say, at least in Control. IB drops need a fix, too scarce.

            • I'm enjoying it, player numbers have spiked so mm is quicker and games are closer. Still a lot of sus things going on, very laggy, and too many non IB loot drops, but overall I'd sooner play this than GGs or arms week.

              • I'm actually enjoying it to be honest. Regardless of so much negativity. It's a game, to have fun and take your mind off stress and worries for a few hours. The only complaint I have is they're are some really laggy players in some games. It's like they are using dialup Internet from the 90's 😂 (showing my age there)

                • Despite what others are saying I've been getting decent loot. Which is appreciated since I keep running into Chester's even match.

                    Did it. Got armor for the 3 classes, got the Eliksni weapons from the tower (with the exception of the sword which I've tried to get 3 times and every time it dropped with handling masterwork, so 25k and 3 cores each traded for 1k and no cores, just like Las Vegas). No need to participate any further. Not interested in gilding the title. And not interested in matching against cheaters anymore. May buy some of the other weapons before the week is up if I do enough public events and such to have extra glimmer to throw away, but other than that, no further interest.

                    • I mean it's alright. The auto rifle really should have had a holofoil in line with the rocket/trace. It's a really good looking foil. Matchmaking in control is taking a while and I haven't tried eruption since I don't like the mode.

                        Enjoying it - its day 1.. I think 5/6 matches for me. [b]Con[/b] -- is that I think not including Finite Impactor tiered version as even a random drop if not in the shop is a mistake [spoiler]--trip laureate not sound fixed, cmon (yeah I'm including it)[/spoiler] -- the amount of gear dropped does seem low at end of matches... if this is the only time that you can get REG and armor.. (I think it is).. that is gonna weigh on folks.. will see how it goes over the week ------------------ [b]Pro (for me):[/b] --I stocked up on glimmer to buy weapons in the shop and could buy till the last drop (no engrams needed). It would have been bad if the drops were not ok but they were even good. I will be buying up. --Games were fun and balanced so far other than a 1v6 that loaded up, lol (I was the 1) --Drops (since I have none of that armor and there are 3 weapons new to me) are pretty interesting [will have to evaluate rest of the weapons) >> action item and micromort (only PVE imo) --[b]REG-HUSK is a banger[/b] for me. My drop was at least 1 of the godrolls. DSR + ZEN, DEST+Repulsor, RR+Swash, hammer forged/cork, tactical mag, range mw T5 Tested on full range (range mod, mw and it was very very good - actually made Citadel fun and thats tough to do) Tested hip-fire also good... gonna need a stable mag/bar for that (will seek.. or recoil version) but its a doable short Probably will perform in PVE Stay positive folks Why not partaking? edit >> to be further understood (can't tell yet)... I think its gonna be about tokens and rerolling and playing matches to purchase from the shop.. may be the only way if these drops don't improve... for example I never used a reroll chip in any event so far.. but I will in IB if I get playing time

                        • I'm enjoying it but I've always enjoyed IB. I wish it was only IB armor and weapons that dropped end game but it's Bungie. I do like the new auto rifle. It shreds in PvP. I got a fun PvE one but haven't tried it in that mode yet. It should be very easy to re-guild the Iron Lord title.
