Ok firstly for all the haters, my KD sucks and will suck more if I finish IB this time around so please hate away.
So in previous IB events we had 6 bounties per day so we could get a min rep of 600 per day if we did all 6. In year 2 IB you have changed things up a little by changing those bounties so that 3 are weekly and the other 3 are daily.
Firstly I would like to address the 3 weekly bounties which in my opinion should be removed for the next IB event. Each one of those bounties gives us 25 Legendary Mark, 525 min rep points and 5000 xp and thats great depending on the type of player and how much you play IB given that one of those bounties can only be completed by reaching rank 4. That same bounty is one that I will not be cashing and not because of the rank but rather the 'Top Overall Score'. That is very preclusive not everyone can win not matter how hard we try.
As i mentioned these need to be removed as they are more of a hindrance than a benefit. Sure they give us 75 marks but i can get 30 every day just by doing the daily crucible and story. As for the min 525 rep well this is very underwhelming given that if I convert the 2 that can be done before rank 4 and have no way of getting that rep again given there is only 3 daily bounties. Good idea needs a big rethink.
Secondly the daily bounties which appear the be the same 3 for everyday have a min 125 rep and 3250 xp. Now based on my opinion around the weekly bounties I really think we need 6 daily bounties not 3. IB is and always has been a grinding game however giving us only 3 has made it more of a grind in my opinion. Having 6 daily bounties gives us more rep and less grind meaning we could probably get all 3 characters to rank 5 before the event finishes.
Its all about the rep 375 versus 600 I know what I would prefer.
Its good to see you attempting to make good changes but in my humble opinion the IB bounties need a serious rethink for the next event. Perhaps have eight bounties 6 daily at 100 rep and 2 weekly, with those weekly ones locked to rank 3 or 4 with 40 marks each but no rep.
PS, might check your server logs to see if the patch was applied correctly still getting shotgunned from across the map :)

I like the three weekly bounties. It's a challenge to get them done. I'd like 6 daily and 3 weekly. But that would make getting the gear to easy. This feels like more of a challenge. I'd like to see an ambassador or informant beside Saladin that tells you what can drop in the IB playlists.
