Iron Banner: Not the End Game activity it used too be.
Iron Banner doesn't feel special anymore. Their is nothing that makes it stand out. It doesn't feel like it is part of the Crucible end game like it used too be in D1. It feels like it is just thrown together as an afterthought too be honest. I think 3 things need to change in the Iron Banner in Season 5.
1. We need better weapons and armor to chase. Connected to the Iron Lords lore. I would be okay if they just went back and redid ALL of the D1 Vanilla armor and weapons and put them in over the stuff that we had in Season 4. Felwinter's Lie anyone? Jolder's Hammer? That classic looking armor... Gosh I wouldn't be able to stop playing. lol.
2. They need to take out that stupid Power Play Lockdown rule. It's just nothing special and it tends to make a LOT of games one sided.
3. The Crucible maps themselves need fixing. Basically what I'm saying is we are playing a LOT of 6 vs. 6 in maps that were made for 4 vs. 4. The way I see it in Season 5 Bungie DESPERATELY needs to put about 5 maps into rotation that have plenty of open space with basically NO COVER that would be PERFECT for Sniping, Scout Rifling, and Pulse Rifling. Every map seems just a little claustrophobic and every match seems a little too chaotic. Tired of instances of spawning in front of enemies or sometimes even having enemies spawn in front of me. (I apologize to those I have taken advantage of.) It shouldn't happen and Bungie can easily fix this by adding some space to breath in the Crucible. (And make the Iron Banner playlist have mostly just these new maps.)
But yeah those are my ideas. Let me know if you agree.
God Bless,
Rigel

1 ReplyI for one would be more willing to grind banner if the armour had a chance for enhanced perks, like dreaming city and raid gear.

Yes! Let's get some traction on this post! Especially since most people agree.

2 RepliesIt’s gear is pretty gross. All the weapons besides the pulse are bleh. Idk what the point is honestly with this matchmaking and meta.
-
1 ReplyThey need to stop making it control. I’m sick of objective based game modes!
-
1 ReplyI concur. I leveled up all 3 characters in every Iron Banana in D1. Now it’s just meh. Not worth the effort as the rewards and satisfaction just aren’t there.
-
1 ReplyIt's P2P PvP... It's going to be trash until this game dies.
-
3 RepliesI really like the power play rule. Means there’s a reason to triple cap rather than just a double and spawn trapping.

1 ReplyThey fixed 1 issue, all of the bounties now give powerful gear. This makes IB a big deal while leveling up. I'm already 600 this time around, but I'm sure future IBs will once again be very valuable for leveling. The other issue is still a problem: the vendor weapons. D1 had some amazing vendor rolls that I wanted to grind for. There hasn't been anything good to grind for in D2, other than possibly that pulse rifle from the last IB with Outlaw and Kill Clip. The 2 rolls this IB are bad. How about a curated roll as a reward for completing all the IB bounties?

1 Reply1. Definitely although not just D1 remasters, Something new and Strong, bring back animated sets like RoI had with a new twist, plently of medieval era inspiration to draw from 2. Works both ways can snag a match from a winning/dominant team if a losing team keeps on the objectives, makes for a faster game imo. 3. Agree 100% bigger maps are a must with viable lanes for ranged weapons, but still retain close covered routes for the close combabtants

10 RepliesNope, it's nothing like Destiny 1 Iron Banana (D1 armour alone looked great) Amongst other great weapons, There was a pulse rifle in IB D1 that would be God Roll meta in D2 Y2
-
1 ReplyGood suggestions. If implemented IB would ultimately be more fun to play.
-
1 ReplyA pinnacle weapon would be cool, maybe also a different game mode like clash or mayhem to mix it up. My suggestion is they should add another bounty to the mix. Complete all the bounties and get the grand bounty . It could be something like 25 enhancement cores and a random piece of armor and weapon.
-
1 ReplyI would argue it feels more special than it did before. The zones are bonfires and they howl when you get a power play.
-
3 RepliesEdited by Soventon: 11/17/2018 10:36:22 AMThe sniper and occasionally the smg is the only things that have made it into my loadout and also the rocket launcher seems to be pretty solid if u get lucky with a good roll (cluster bombs are mandatory imo). If I'm not mistaken the IB sniper is the only y2 kinetic one that is in the highest impact archetype so to me that is worth grinding for but i wish there was more good weapons in there, pulse rifle seems aight but it's no bygones that's for sure. Of course Saladman sells the rocket this week but without clusters so its a garbage roll
-
1 ReplyJust fvcking stop making it control! It's stupid.
-
I really think they should add a kind of rank system to the Iron Banner. With pinnacle rewards that you can get through one week of play and MAYBE even a pinnacle reward that will take two or three Iron Banners to obtain. :)

1 ReplyOnce you hit 600 in this game NOTHING is fun anymore IMO. As for the guns and armor: 100% agree. D1 Iron banner guns we're special. Clever Dragon, Lingering Song, Nirwens Mercy, Laughing Heart, can't remember the Y3 scout...all good tier weapons. D2 IB weapons? Meh. I have better fast firing pulses, better scouts, better snipers, better rocket launchers, better grenade launchers. And I don't mean one or two better, several better. Plus, the whole reason shotguns were moved to heavy was the maps were small and couldn't deal with shotgun warriors. They were also 4v4 maps. Hopefully they can fix it but I doubt it.

1 ReplyNumber 1: Fully agree. Iron swag too ugly now. No interest in IB after I hit 600.
