Destiny / Iron Banner thoughts

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Oct 16 '17, 07:53

I am liking it quite a bit. Sure I have games where I get curb stomped by a team, but overall, it is an enjoyable game. I agree with the video that Shaun posted about the drops, and that is a big issue. The underlying issue is that there just is not enough variance between gear sets and weapon sets to make it worth grinding for some (alot) of people.

Krusty, how much Iron Banner did you play? Your issue is the same issue I have for games where the campaign is solo play. I get bored with it quick. I did not see you on at all this weekend, and I was on about half the day Sunday.

I am pretty sure between 3 characters, I have gotten all the guns to drop, and only have 1 helmet, 1 chest, 1 gauntlet, 1 boots, between them. The Iron Banner Armor is worth grinding for, and I have 10 packages left to be able to get a full set somewhere.

All I know about Iron Banner is that I'm better than all of my opponents and they should worship me as a deity. -- nm - David Oct 16, 08:54 1

My LYC Iron Banner story that groiny and J missed last night - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:49 1
- Solid way to earn a full package. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 08:52
the armor drop rate brings up another issue about d2 (maybe issue is a strong word). - tRuMaN Oct 16, 08:40
I haven't played IB yet. I was on Sunday but mostly played Oxenfree. - Krusty Oct 16, 08:01 17
- and also honestly, you have to message someone if you get on and we are playing something. - groiny Oct 16, 08:53 1
  - Or if there's an opening in the fireteam, just jump in. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:06
- What time do you get on? I like doing the daily challenges on each of the planets, so I'm usually up for that. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:39
- to be fair, you are only playing missions and running the same strikes, it is going to get boring. - groiny Oct 16, 08:02 3
  - It is more fun with the group but I don't often see you guys. - Krusty Oct 16, 08:08 2
    - I played with Jax and J for a couple hours last night, - groiny Oct 16, 08:10 1
      - 😠 -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:11
- Today is the last day for Iron Banner. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:02 9
  - It's temporary? Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:08 8
    - It comes every so many weeks, but yes. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:08 7
      - Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:27 6
        
        It lasts one week and each day there are specific challenges that help you get rewards faster. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:34 5
        
        Absolute worst case scenario is 10 matches to get a package. - Shaun Oct 16, 08:40 4
        
        I suck at it, so the daily challenges I only got once or maybe twice. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:51 2
        
        give yourself some credit, you have gotten much better in a week. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 08:53 1
        
        Oh, I'm better, but I still am not "good." - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:08
        
        I wonder how many games I lost on to get the level 10 bonus. lets see, 10 levels is 200 tokens. - tRuMaN Oct 16, 08:42
Like I said on B2, I only played each day to get the milestone and got gloves, armor, 3 bonds, pistol, scout and grenade launcher. I did hit the 10. - Spawn Oct 16, 08:00 1
- I think I have all the guns. I am missing gauntlets and legs for my hunter (still). - Shaun Oct 16, 08:07
another gear issue....... - groiny Oct 16, 07:57
