Guardians, welcome back to the Iron Banner.
I don't see any point in having a sign up thread, if past tournaments are anything to go by they'll invariably be a bunch of us formed up and ready to take on all comers. I did however think it'd be useful to allow all our IB discussion's a home of its own. So here it is.
Feel free to post whatever IB related chatter you want, be it tips and hints, moans and salt, the choice is yours.
Proceedings kick off Tuesday, 17/11/15 at 18:00.
As highlighted in the weekly update the following changes are in effect:
Iron Banner reputation from winning matches increased by 20%
Activity completion rewards increased at all ranks, with even more significant increases at Rank 2 and above
Packages from Lord Saladin upon reaching Rank 3 and Rank 5
Iron Banner Artifacts can be obtained from the Rank 3 package
Iron Banner Ghost Shells can be obtained from the Rank 5 package or activity completion rewards
Also, gone is control and in its place is clash! So no more pretending to play the objective.
Rewards include:
Armour = Chest piece
Weapons = Machine Gun & Hand Cannon
Let's hope the dreaded lag that is associated with IB is gone too.
HINTS:
I assume the following will still be relevant, but will update accordingly.

Here's a useful guide on 'tilt'. Essentially how not to become a stressed out swear bag, like me!

Phoenix Down!

As someone who plays mainly Titan I dread #shadestepshotgun already! I shall retaliate with hammers.

The laggy invulnerable sword block+kill will drive more then a couple of guardians insane i think. Bring it on :).
-
I will be on it, rocking my thorn
-
Updated and ready for the first Laggy Banana of year 2.
-
Iron Banner is back. Last one before TTK drops. Here's an updated link to the excellent reddit guide. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3ibkd1/iron_banner_arrives_today_heres_that_guide_again/ As always, please feel free to chat, organise, bitch and moan about all your IB needs here.

For anyone who didn't know, please check the update regarding etheric light at lvl 3 and 5.
-
The last Iron Banner was the most laggy PvP experience I've ever witnessed, and the lag seems to have continued into every game mode since. I can't wait to see how bad this one is going to be.
-
I'll be on for this, lagtastic!
-
i'll be around as usual so feel free to jump in. also looking forward to seeing if all the practice with thorn will have paid off this time
-
I will no doubt make an appearance. This however is likely to be my last week before TTK.
-
I'll be around for some IB. Good times.
-
Good man 'gooner! Indeed IB is back next week with weapons, armour and lag for everyone! Register your interest, but essentially just join up when people are on and reap the rewards!
-
I shall be on most nights next week. W/C 27.7.15

https://twitter.com/bungiehelp/status/615956100337135616 Yikes, might want to keep running those Nightfalls for a bit.
-
As a previous Vex veteran in PvP this is the first IB I itend to use Thorn........but wait, I just need to check. As an EG member is this permitted or is there a code? I'm happy to even up the odds with all those DoT enthusiasts!
-
typical they have an IB event while I'm away for the weekend! oh well AC/DC at Wembley will have to do. Will still have time to get the one character up to L5, so give me a shout if you fancy carrying me through a few games
-
You can count on my steel!
-
I'm a sucker for IB. I'll be up for a bit tonight - after the Nightfalls.
-
i shall be playing it.
-
If I'm on, I'll be up for it. Got to continue practising with my NLB so I can shove it up the arse of those Thorn wielding dick bags.
-
I'm up for the Iron Banner, tried going it alone last time and ended up with a match made team whom didn't know what they were doing. I'm free most evenings, but will put most time in over the weekend and between Raids/Prison of Elder runs
-
If there is Etheric Light I will try and get one character up to level 3 but will not be doing much more than that.
-
I had to solo all of IB last time it was here as there was no space and while the light is very useful, I'm not sure I can be bothered with the grind this time around, we'll see. That said I was planning on a break of sorts next week so this would be a good time for the last hurrah.
-
I don't have a lot of use for a Pulse rifle, but I am up for some IB anyway.
