Gonna try to sherpa a friend through the NF. Anybody else want in?

 

[Deku Tree]

Any IB train?

 

[ocean]

Iron laggier pls

 

[Kadey]

That was the first laggy match of the day for me. Sniped someone directly and hit did not register.

I still can't stand how unintuitive the range of shit like Conspiracy theory is. When I'm in mid/close range, it just doesn't make sense to be thinking about shotgun 1HKs.

 

[ocean]

I've actually never ever grabbed the spark. Always play it like its Clash.

Does it filter your screen like being torn between dimensions in KF?

 

[TheAquaticApe]

We just faced an entire team of god mode red bars.

 

[Kadey]

No but you get the sense of hauling ass. Of course what makes this fun is Titan skating while running.

 

[EroticSushi]

Rift Iron Banner with a team full of red bars is something else..

 

[SpecX]

Tossing some special weapons and noticed I have a Eirene RR4 sniper with luck in the chamber, quickdraw/oiled frame, and unflinchin/mulligan. Worth keeping or toss it?

Perks aren't bad, but the Eirene scopes are super flinchy and there isn't much AA on Eirenes

I have a worse roll than that I still wreck with it. High calibur rounds and underdog is what I'm using.

 

[figadapaura]

Isn't the real MM update supposed to be tomorrow (today for me) anyway? Laggy Banana was always just around the corner.

I'll join. PSN: Princeakuma23

Yup, Wednesday morning at 1000, 24 hours after Iron Banana starts.

I'm not even playing until that happens.

12.5 hours from now.

 

[ocean]

Worst lag of the night. Full clips of TLW not registering at all.

 

[Mass Appeal]

IB, Rift, and lag are just a really annoying combo.

 

[Boombloxer]

3 For IB Train

Thanks, I'll hang onto it for now and see how I like it.

 

[Kadey]

IB spot.

 

[Deku Tree]

IB spot.

Thanks for the games. GG.

 

[ocean]

Thoughts of the day so far:

- Rift is lovely
- Taking this long to respawn is actually swell
- Rift is fantastic
- Smoke + Nade = amazingly cool Spark denial against enemy team

 

[chur]

IB spot.

I'll join.

 

[LTWood12]

Treads upon stars w/
Focus Lens FLA5
Triple Tap
Perfect Balance/Braced Frame
Underdog

Seems pretty good to me, but is it actually?

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Yup. It's even worse on maps like Cathedral where there is a long ass respawn and a long walk to the rift.

 

[Kadey]

Rift on skyshock would be funny.

The sparrows would make it worth it.

3 marks.

I have one with TT, FF and PB. Still prefer the Hung Jury to it.

 

[xplicitone]

2 IB weeklies done. Had 2 saved up and 1 completed from last IB that I didn't need to turn in since I was rank 5 already.

Today has been insane.

3x Hard Mode Oryx challenge = 3x 320 Helmets

You know, I thought about playing some IB with people just because..but now after reading that...welp..

 

[Kadey]

In a more closed map, anyone with blink is great for running, in wide and open spaces, titans are the best. They are trying to catch up to me and I'm just leaving them in the dust titan skating.

 

[ocean]

Bannerfall Pantheon and Frontier are well suited for Rift. Every other map? Kill with fire pls

 

[ocean]

On a more positive note:

Loot drops seem to be fixed vs last IB. Seen plenty of boots drop today. Seems like every third game 1-2 people on the team will get some, which is a reasonable drop rate.

Once you hit rank 5 the drop rate plummets. Before then, it's pretty good.

Wait till you get to rank 5 ocean. You'll see nothing but motes, coins and blue engrams.

 

[Kadey]

That last game I took some heavy ammo, used it, then went and got the other heavy ammo and used it all. Everybody was too busy doing something else. Got a good streak with just rockets.

I'll make Rank 2 last forever. Or until I get Discipline Strength boots for my Huntet. Sniper ammo on top of that might be asking for too much but who knows, one can dream.

No bounties and no IB rep buffing shader / emblem / class item until then.

Speaking of class items: I'm infusing the Subclass cloaks. Gunslinger one looks pretty hot.

Yeah my titan and warlock have perfect boots, hunter got shafted with sidearm/rocket, capture king and int/disc boots.

I have Int/Dis IB Boots for my Hunter at 320 (for my Gunslinger), but I need that Tier 5 Smoke Nade loveliness on my NS. I'm currently doing it with a Neuroghast set but IB armor looks nice enough to grind 2 Tier 5 sets of it.

I might have a problem. Why do I care.

 

[milkham]

thanks for the matches everybody, i didn't think i'd get the top score and 10 kill streak parts of the weeklies done at all but somehow it happened.
boots for days

 

[Kadey]

We got a teabagger and then we no mercy him.

 

[maomaoIYP]

Frontier is one of the worse maps for rift IMO. Memento and Vertigo are great too.
Cathedral is cancer, no matter the mode.

PSA: if the team mate grabbing the spark is a nightstalker running double stealth, stay the fuck away from him, run to the rift from other directions as a distraction.

 

[140.85]

This is embarrassing. I guess I suck at rift. I keep getting spawned near enemy groups too.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Running IB. Have 4 spots open if anyone wants to group up.

Cool. I'll send you a party invite when we get rolling.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Not gonna turn in any bounties once I am rank 2. Wanna stay at 2 a good long while farming Boots until I get Int/Str

Thats my plan, hit Rank 2 last night took of all the gear and will just plod through . If you stay on rank 2 on your main you'll also get rank 2 drops on your alts as it goes on your highest character

 

[mehrmantrout]

Threads dead, reading Bungie.net and Reddit the hate for Iron Banner Rift is pretty much universal. Looks like Bungie in an attempt to be clever and give us what we don't want killed the game
