Hey, does anyone have a Tower instance with the Iron Crucible doors still open that they can invite me to real quick?

Totally wrecked the last two Iron Banners. xD No good drops, but I got all the class items, the shader, the Emblem, and the Legendary Ship, plus I had a ton of fun. Not complaining. Now who wants to try and kill the Ogre with me? xD

I can't seem to choose between the Shingen-C and the Cydonia-AR3

While the Cydonia has higher damage and the glass half full attribute increases it further I really like the stability and ROF of the Shingen. I can't seem to choose one over the other.

Shingen, dude. The gun is fucking nuts.
 
I got one purple from four hours of Iron Crucible, and I almost always finish first or second... I saw very few purples handed out at all, and never saw the ship. Cool event, especially when you've got maxed gear. :lol

wait wtf. I swear I have the Cydonia AR3 and I only have 49 damage on it upgraded. What's going on here D:

Damage levels up on weapons?
Click to expand...

each time you use a green weapon or higher, you're leveling up its skill tree. turning in bounties adds experience to the weapon you have equipped quicker, so it's also a fast way to level them up. when all attributes have been leveled, the final lock will add bonus damage to its attack rating.
 
There is nothing more satisfying than a throwing knife precision kill in Iron Banner.

This.

Accept Vanguard bounties, grind for loot while achieving bounties, go back to unlock loot, then upgrade newly obtained loots by redeeming bounties one by one.
 
Finished my 4th Iron Banner match right before 9, immediately jumped to the tower and... the door was already closed

dang, i really wanted that emblem
 
Wow, I love this game.

It's probably going to break down and be not as fulfilling when the full release comes (for me), but for now I REALLY enjoy it.
 
For some reason none of the previous destiny footage has got me excited about playing the next bungie game (Which is weird as i am a MASSIVE Halo fan) but now that the beta is only a few days away (Xbox One) and im really starting to get hyped.

I have got to say the Official Destiny Beta Trailer got me really pumped (I love that music).

So in Summary - Cant wait for the xbox beta to begin and impress me

Yeah, that's pretty much the worst idea imaginable to me, but am glad you're digging it ;p

:(

I just hope I can find pickup groups that don't look at the PVE content as purely speed-farming runs to harvest PVP weapons. That kind of super-efficient uber-farming mentality drove me to solo and friends only groups in other games. I also wonder how much Iron Banner game modes will figure into driving players towards those expansions and/or other DLC we might see down the line.
Click to expand...

Good points. But IB is just one mode amongst other normalized ones, so I don't see why it shouldn't have a reason to exist. Everyone's happy, right?

Last bit: I was curious from the original alpha why there were vendors who sold rare weapons in exchange for PVP-earned resources when the game was supposed to flatten all of those differences away. Well at least that's no longer a mystery.
Click to expand...

Yeah. I also think Bungie is trying to incentivize people to invest in all their game modes. The more time invested in the game, the more likelihood of spending more $$$ in the future. So even if you get rare exclusive weapons based on PvP resources, you get to use it everywhere, IB included. That way a person who generally has zero interest in PvP (like myself. My last PvP before Destiny was Quake 3) would actually want to give it a shot and improve, because I want those exclusive weapons and gear to use in other modes.
 
Hey if anyone needs to talk to Lord Saladin for Iron Banner rewards. He's still open in my tower on ps4. PSN is Nestled_Grizzly. I'll be here for another 10 mins. Just message me and I'll invite.

Having a little trouble getting the sprint to work, works fine 9/10 times, but sometimes I click the stick and either nothing happens or my sprint comes out with some delay. Tried with my second DS4 and the same thing happens.

Anyone else getting this?
Click to expand...

Yep, same here. It bugs me even more because you can't sprint and reload at the same time :/
 
Thanks, Tower guys. You're the best! <3

Got overzealous and ran too long in Iron Banner and wasn't able to buy my stuff, lol.

You have a level 6 or 7 rifle, the level 8 has 57ATK base and 62ATK upgraded.
 
I want Bungie to make a proper announcement regarding keeping progress from beta to full release, reason being i'm not happy with the race and character customization i picked, but feel slightly attached to it because of the time spent playing.
 
Doing much better in balanced pvp. Iron Banner is nuts

Knife kills are so good. I got one while a dude was jumping in the air doing the Warlock super. Laughed my ass off
