The 303 boots were PL 298 before the mod that's why it didn't work.
Edit: NM that doesnt make sense reading ti again it should have worked.

In this scenario if there is no +5 mod on the 297 PL boots you should still be able to infuse the Exotic into them but be aware it would only take them to 298 PL (this is that Exotics base PL, the +5 mod on it takes it to 303 PL). If you add a +5 mod and then infuse the Exotic into them it would take them to 303 PL.

I think the token system hates me. I've been trying to get the crucible chest armor for over a week, but I just keep getting weapons!!! Sooo many better devils... Also, the raid hates me too, is it so much to ask for a chest armor? Then when I use my tokens, I just get spammed with cloaks and weapons....

Second match, well.... that 1.0 challenge may never come or me...
Just stick with a team mate and play super defensively if you're struggling with that.
Should be able to get it out of the way after 1 game.
because people don't know how to look up.

I might have had a +5 mod on the 297 boots. Can't remember. I definitely haven't wrapped my head around on how mods affect infusion yet, so I'll check it out when I get home.
You don't deal with blinking warlocks, triple jumping hunters en strafing titans by just "looking up" and shoot.

pretty sure I did that, so yes.If I do the MIDA quest at 300+ PL is it a guaranteed 300 drop?
I want to infuse it into my Nameless Midnight

It's stunning to me how bad people are at control. Like they never even try to take a flag. I'm the only one. It's really annoying.

I did mine a second time last night. I was 298 light, and it dropped at 303. I was happy.If I do the MIDA quest at 300+ PL is it a guaranteed 300 drop?

Looks like it'll take some grinding to get a full IB armor set. I've had 3 packages now and gotten 2 weps and the arms.

Do iron banner games contribute to the normal weekly crucible milestone?
oh, so there aren't even any good ones?
That's true but only because it was implemented poorly in D1. They could have made it so LL made an actual difference.

I love the map but it was pretty unbalanced, the C flag side had a huge advantage. Has their been any changes to flag placements?

Ugh, might have to find time to get set for Warlock. Been needing a reseilance set.
It's deep in the sunken cavern. The map location is misleading.
when you get to the floating rocks head to the middle and then back up to your left; don't continue down to the lower platform

Emperor's Respite is a terrible map for Control. If you start with A, you've basically already one.

Token payout is abysmal, 5-10 matches for one single engram which doesnt even guarantee an iron banner piece. Come on Bungie, respect my time a little better than that.
Man, they totally missed the point of Iron Banner. In D1 it was a way to increase your light level through pvp throughout the week. Now in D2, there isn't a single opportunity to get anything that actually increases your power level (aside from the call to arms milestone, but that doesn't count).
And with power levels disabled, I feel like I'm just playing control over and over in regular crucible, there's nothing at all that distinguishes this from Crucible other than cool looking gear that I can't wear cause the stats suck and a different weapon/shader pool.
I think their "intended" way is for you to do 1-2 games per day and get all the challenges done, instead of blasting down IB milestone in one day. I got 26 tokens in one game when factoring in the 3 daily milestones and reward for doing all 3. This is stupid though since not everyone can play a little every day, and IB is super non-rewarding if you try to do a bunch at once.

Yup.
People wanted their grinds! Now you can play for 20 hours and get 15 fusion rifles!
Well, three hours into the reset and I'm done with the game for the week. Got my clan engram, my flashpoint engram and have grudgingly ground out the crucible engram.
The Raid blows and isn't worth putting effort into as you'll inevitably get screwed over by glitches; and Nightfalls aren't fun to play.
The mediocre loot and sub-par exotics aren't worth putting time into getting.
I'm dismayed at how Bungie managed to think this was the right direction for the game.

Shaxx is the one and only.
Maybe it will get better? I hope so, IB was one of my favs in D1 and hearing all the negatives here is kinda bumming me out. But I'll give it a shot later to check it out for myself.
Whats your PSN? Lets struggle together lol!

I hope the overall community agrees that bungie needs to improve the reward system in destiny 2. I know some people like the fact they don't have to play the game that often, but there needs to be substantial rewards for those that do.
As the game stands right now, since I have all 3 characters at 305, there's absolutely no reason to play it unless I want to use Destiny as a glorified version of discord to hang out online with some friends.
