60 Iron Banner Packages and Still No Full Armor Set...

Am I the only one who has yet to get the armor set to drop for their Titan?? I am a Day One Destiny player and a die hard to say the least. With 60 packages opened and 40 of those havin been played with my Titan in Iron Banner I have yet to “EARN” the full Gear Set. I have been rewarded the Same Guns and Gear every single Time in succession and it’s getting a bit annoying. It’s like I finally find some Gear that Bungie expressed some creativity in and I feel I have more than earned the gear in fact I’ve done double the amount of earning per character... I should be able to purchase said gear with the near 1000 legendary shards I have currently rather than having to play this game until my eyes bleed while praying to non existent gods that I finally get the gear I’ve so desperately grinded to get-but some how I haven’t played enough to earn the proper gear and it seems I need to earn 15 more Pistols and 12 IB Pulse Rifles I guess before I can at least get the Gauntlets and Chest Armor. I’m very irritated with how Destiny took away my option to choose what gear I want. I have now GIVEN UP on IB and my disgust has lead me to research “Anthem” in hopes they will appreciate my gaming needs and grind. I love the game play in Destiny but the sheer disrespect to players and lack of creativity makes me miss unique items like D1 Raid Gear/Guns along with COMPETITIVE, level advantage Iron Banner! This game caters to those who come in second place. There are better ways to keep me playing the game. Not giving me what I work for and feel I’ve earned is gonna slowly get me back on to other games that appreciate my grind and desication and reward it properly by giving me players choice. It’s bad enough the entire PVP competitive aspect of Destiny has been wiped clean but I’ll save it that for another post! Does anyone else share my pain? I love Destiny but I really think they need to get more creative with a lot of things and allow players to choose more..

  • I’ve collected 78 packages, at least 65 with my Titan, and no helmet. Ive gotten arms at least 10 times, but probably more. I would love for Bungie to try and justify this. “RNG drops” is a cop out. I would love to hear their answer.

  • Well I’m doing the second month of iron banner Destiny 2 with 33 packages and still no helmet that means no full set of armour and I gonna be giving up I have never played a most annoying, pointless part of this game, and I am sat here questioning what the hell am i doing ? I have three more days before I can no longer get the one item I want for my full set. I have enough IB guns to open up a shop for my clan and make a tidy profit but still no helmet, might seem alittle irrelevant to most but to some like me I do like to have a full set of every armour. This is with out a doubt the worst idea Destiny has come up with, not only do we have to put up with how bad the crucible is in general Still!!! With bad connection issues and pathetic noobs fighting there own team mates for the power base but trying to win so it doesn’t take me seven god damn days to try and get just a couple of packages for the off chance that it might not be a duplicate piece of armour, I left for three weeks to finish Assassins Creed Origins come back to see what all the updates were and if it has improved but sadly same old stuff sad really as a day 1 Destiny 1 player maybe the expansion might work !?!?!?!?

  • In past D1 Iron Banner events, access to all of the gear was gated, but there was always an end point where you basically did what you could to get an RNG reward, and you also had the option to buy gear. This way you pretty much were guaranteed to get complete armor sets but over the span of three months or so. The current D2 system allows you to get it all right away, if you want to invest insane amounts of time in the RNG grind. There's actually more player choice in the D2 system (play as much or little as you want), but certainly a lot more frustration (duplicates dropping over and over) and uncertainty (40+ packages and no complete set) as well.

    Keep grinding. If you don't get 'em all this time, well...it was no different than Destiny 1, now was it? You can always finish the set during the next event.

    • I open nearly ~850 + tokens, and like everyone here was very disappointed with RNG/drops. Was I upset? Hell yes..., but more so at the overall rational behind the token drops (5 for Ws and 2 for Ls), this is what made me experience the IB TILT. Basically, every hour you had an opportunity to make 20 to 35 tokens, the equivalent of (1) IB legendary drop for a weapon/gear. This by far was the catalyst of my frustration. Not sure what genius came up with how this token system would work for IB. But, in my opinion this was a major fail. D2 as a whole, has been a major disappointment. Literally, after 3-4 weeks of continuous play/grinding, I basically grew tired of D2. However, for D1 I was still grinding that game all the way up until D2 dropped. I have no words, and I can only try to be optimistic in my thoughts by hoping this game will have more to offer, as we continue to play D2. In the infamous words of Johnny Cash, " I hear uuuhhhh nerf-/buffs uuuhhh coming, there rolling round the bend".

      • My Titan has gotten boots about 10X. Only boots every time. I hope someone at Bungie thinks I’m exaggerating & looks up my rewards on my Titan. The only time I didn’t get boots, was some exotic boots that I already had. How many copies does one guardian need before they give up? I’m done

        • Same, 40 boxes, no gloves. I worked with all 3 characters, hit every daily on each save 1. Turned in 40 boxes, that's 800 tokes over the last week. I work full time and have a family, busted my ass every recreational hour I could squeeze looking for the armor set on 2 characters, but i never even finished it on 1.

        • [quote]Are you done grinding planetary tokens for that armor you wanted? Are you done grinding the gunsmith for that rare gun you want? Are you done grinding the easy new raid for that armor you want because the raid guns suck? Are you done grinding the crucible for your Better Devils? Are you done grinding Trials of the Nine tokens because you can't go flawless due to sweaties? [b]Well have I got the answer for you![/b] [b]Behold, IRON BANNER![/b] ([i]Now with 80% less iron[/i]) Grind endlessly for [u][b]new[/b] Samurai themed armor[/u] and guns with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], but with the added urgency of a limited event making you grind harder than ever before! Enjoy the absolute worse this game has to offer, with unbalanced teams, bad spawns, and meta players using the most broken weapons. Fight an endless war of attrition against camping Warlocks with infinite health, or get killed in literally under a second by the Last Word 2.0. Enjoy the endless droning of sirens as the clan you solo-qued up against captures the entire map. Lose to teams with FIVE TIMES YOUR SCORE who have been spawn killing you for the past five minutes. Get killed by a rocket launcher before you're finished the spawn-in animation, or get cross-mapped by fusion rifles. Try to capture a zone while getting hit from 8 pulse grenades, which aren't at all over powered when compared to the other grenades. Discover how useless anything that isn't the meta really is, as you're killed by the Antiope, Uriel's Gift, MIDA, and Last Hope consistently. Learn how powerful Fist of Havok is as the only roaming panic-button super. Ask yourself why Bungie left the Hunter "Wombo-Combo" in the game, only to never use the wombo-combo again, as your super, Shadow Shot, is literally just Nova Bomb, but completely useless. Wonder what the point of player choice is, as you discover the "One Path to Victory" Shaxx is always talking about is simply playing the meta, with any semblance of skill optional. [b] But how is this better than the Iron Banners of old? [/b] The only difference between Iron Banner and regular Crucible? Gone. That pesky lore of the Iron Lords nobody cared about? Gone. The uniquely modeled weapons of previous Iron Banners? Gone. The ability to buy items as you progress? Gone. The chance to get Iron Banner items as an post-game reward? Gone. The ability to re-roll weapons? (bet some of you forgot about that) Gone. The rewarding experience of obtaining high level loot and powerful items? Gone. [b] All those toxic downsides of Iron Banner are now more dead than the Iron Lords. [/b] Instead, grind away for meaningless tokens for the RNG slot machine that gives no guarantee your time will be rewarded. Win low level gear and weapons with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], with a Iron Lord's chance in a SIVA replication chamber of getting the [u]new Iron Banner exclusive [b]Samurai[/b] armor[/u], which doesn't match the theme of Iron Banner one bit. Listen to Overwatch easter eggs that remind you of better games you could be playing, and end your week feeling hollow for spending all your time grinding for the armor you wanted, only to get an endless supply of Iron Banner themed garbage sidearms. [b] Let us take a moment to thank Bungie for this event. [/b] This event that showcases every single flaw of Destiny 2. This event that showcases the faults of the Crucible. This event that showcases how unrewarding the game is. This event that has managed to royally piss me off. [b] Thank you Bungie. [/b] P.S. I'm never playing Iron Banner again...until some stupid new gear comes out and I force myself to endure more of this cancer and rip my hair out.[/quote]

I know next month boots will be the first package I open.

        • Worst Iron Banner ever. Hands down. Even playing a full week in IB #1 and seeing 2 legendary drops split between winners and losers alike... 2 legendary drops the WHOLE week. I downloaded 2 new games last night because of IB. I never thought that would happen. IB and D2 in general are shit now.

        • I’ve opened 18 and I am still missing helmet and gauntlets. I’ll likely be able to get 4 more packages tonight, but there is zero chance I’m getting the full set the way things have been dropping for me. While I know 22 packages isn’t near as much as other people, I have still played 3-4 hours a night of nothing but IB this week. I just can’t fathom not being able to get a full set of gear for a single character (not even asking for all 3!) for that much gameplay. If they don’t change the loot system to level based next time, there is zero chance I will play IB again. Being completely reliant on RNG is lazy and defeating for players.
