Bungie needs to address the variance in the loot drops possible for players, that is what causes the most discord.
Person X got 2 primaries, a helmet and an exotic weapon. Person Y got 2 shards and 310 boots from the same raid. There shouldn't be such a huge delta between the rewards. If Bungie can address that properly, then I will consider it a success.
I didn't have a legendary chest for my warlock that I was aesthetically pleased for. The vendor version had Sniper and Dis/Int - all I needed haha.

Truth. The best part of last night was losing a game and the bottom 3 people all with bad K/D ratios got legendary items. The top 3 all with positive K/D got nothing. Bungie really needs to add incentives to play well and also not quit. I think they should increase the odds of legendary and chance for exotic for players who play the entire match.

I'm back after travelling all weekend. Turning in my weekly bounties to go from Rank 2 to Rank 5 instantly is very nice indeed.
Got the Iron Banner helmet! Alright!
It's DISC/STR with Orbs give Melee charge....
I can't imagine a worse stat split/perk combo for a Titan.
That I got literally the same roll on my Trials helmet is just salt in the wound.
(this is my reaction everytime I check DIM. the fact that it's a loop is perfect.)

Talking about loot drops, for the past what...6-7 weeks, Warpriest has dropped nothing for me. Nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. The only time he dropped something for me was the first week, and that was 2 sniper rifles. I really want a heavy but Warpriest is being a sod.
I am okay with crucible having random rewards and incentive to play well is the fact that getting stomped sucks lol. If only the best were rewarded, then we would have a very empty IB. Beginners need to feel like even though they were sucking the whole match, a good reward can still be waiting.
Warpope gives me nothing as well. At this point, I am used to it.

Best IB drop I've had so far is a 316 ghost shell, I'd like a 320 one but whatever.
Didn't even realise I had the new IB ship drop at some point, I never saw it pop up in the post game rewards screen. Sticking with the space bus though, best loading screen.

It's too hard for me to get a competent HM KF group. I know what to do, and I don't want to wipe for hours for a small chance at loot that has an even smaller change of advancing my light level. My regular group doesn't play destiny so much any more. Sucks that you can't quickly complete HM KF without forming a really strong full group of six players. If it wasn't so hard to find a group, I might keep doing it on the regular.
Last night I even tried an LFG Oryx CP and the team assured me that they all knew what to do and they had all done it before, but after we had wiped a bunch of times, people forgot their lies and started saying "I just want to see the shade for the first time"... That's when I jumped out of the group.

I've got a spot for you tonight on team competent if you're interested.

Decided to do IB on my hunter just this morning. Figured the weekly bounties would jump me up to rank 5 pretty quick.
Except I forgot 1 weekly requires 13 games played, and another requires rank 4, so I'm definitely going to have to actually play at least somewhat.
That said, 2 wins and 3 daily bounties shot me up to half way to Rank 3.

To do what? I only need Oryx CP this week. What time?

The Tempered buff is ridiculous this time of the week. I played 3 hours total on my alts and leveled both of them up to level 5. I didn't even need to turn in all the bounties.

I'm up for it, whole raid or CP, if there are still spots left.
Edit: With my IB & last week's HM loot, I'm up to 311! Woot!

Ended my Iron Banner experience this time at level 5. Got the ghost to drop finally, the artifact and a sidearm. All three I infused into current gear and got 2 light levels. Not a bad take in the end. Not great, I would have loved the chest piece but, I'll take it.

I saw a few questions about levelling up at iron banner today - it's actually pretty easy with all the buffs, I think....PROVIDED...you have collected the bounties through the week.
All credit to ironbanner.info but for your main character, doing 7 daily bounties and 2 weeklies today will get you 5,800 rep...you'll then need around 20 games (incl mix of wins and losses) to get up to rep 5...you'll probably need that many games (or less!) to do the bounties in the first place.
So basically play 20 games, complete bounties along the way and it should take a max of 4 hours to get to rep 5 from scratch.
For alts it's way quicker. 7 dailies and 1 weekly actually gives you all the rep you need to get from 0 to 5. Obviously you'll be winning some games along the way so you'll maybe need to play 10-12 games and turn in bounties to get levelled up. That's probably 2 hours or so of play.
I've looked at the bounties, and how they stack (or don't).
The key is the weeklies. If you complete the 50/25/13 kills then you've also completed 4 of the dailies by default (incl precision kills). That's 88 kills, which by my average is 8 games or so, but for a good player could be done in 4 or 5.
More realistically is to add in the 15 ability kills bounty, which means 103 kills or 10 games or so.
In that time you should have won *a* match so that's 6 dailies and 1 weekly in a very realistic 10 games.
I reckon a good pvp player could actually get those bounties in 4/5 matches by getting the "extraordinary feats" bounty along with the finish in top 3 and finish with over 2,500 points dailies.
So a good pvp player could get an alt to rank 5 in an hour of play.

loving the high level IB and Trials drops. Means I don't have to bother with that effing raid anymore. At least until Challenge Mode brings something good to the table.

I've only killed HM Oryx twice. First time got me a 312 ghost, and the second got me a 314 class item.
Had zero desire to go back since then.

Only took 7 matches to get my Titan from rank 0 to 5. Just 4 were wins. And a 320 ghost dropped on the first one.
Rank 5 package was shit though... only got a 310 ghost and 310 boots.
Edit: Oh, and I didn't even cash in two of the weekly bounties. Will probably just save them for next time.

Yeah, you can hold onto them so they're already completed for next IB. You won't be able to do them twice or anything. I didn't have to play many games on my hunter either because if it.
xChildOfHatex
Member
Apparently yes, you can. But, you can only turn in 3 weekly bounties each time Iron Banner comes around (coz they're always the same), so you won't gain extra rep for previous bounty that you turn in during the next Iron Banner.
Edit - Beaten again.

Last Iron Banner, Saladin sold the Boots and Pulse Rifle, that was it.
Edit: Oh, and class items, and Sidearms.

Sorry guys, distracted with work stuff. Should be back later.
Ok, I'll be on but I might be playing BB. Send me a Party Chat invite and I'll help out.
I feel your pain. The HM Oryx fight is so annoying. Even if the group is competent, you just might not mesh well together. And one weak link can bring the whole thing crashing down. I wiped for hours with a group of friends with one guy I've never played with before dying on his platform doing the no knights strategy every single time. I have no idea how you can die just crouching/sitting there.
Tried it with a GAF group and it didn't work out. Was doing kill the knights and we never made it past staggering Oryx once...
Then did it with the same group as the first time minus the guy that died constantly, and we downed him. 3 times on the last phase our runner couldn't pick up the relic. But after going to orbit and coming back we got it.
And lastly, I'm just going to say that it's rude to show up to HM Oryx without a ToM and good sniper. No RNG there. And I know it's not necessary, but it's pretty shocking to not stagger Oryx because people are shooting him with a pulse rifle.
