Obviously the higher the LL the better for Iron Banner, but at what Light Level would you say it's not even worth trying at all?

 

[Sketch_Turntable]

I got killed in IB last night by someone using Atheon's Epilogue. Twice.

Id say anything under 355 is going to be a rough go. However if you are a lower light sticking with the team is the hugest thing and helping to team shoot can help a lot.

 

[Deku Tree]

So once you hit rank 20 or whatever it is, you only get one ornament? That doesn't sound right.

Confirmed. Reaching rank 22 in record book, only gives you 1 days of iron ornament.

Are Phear and arya41 around?

 

[Shiv47]

Hoping to join an IB train tonight, as the solo running is worthless. Every match last night was against pre-made teams. One game, my random team had a guy at 282 and another at 300. Should have just went to orbit immediately.

Anyone liking the new IB Pulse. I think its great for pumping rushers with bullets.

But same time i have an absolutely insane hawksaw. That has Perfect Balance, Headseeker and Rifled Barrel.

I got one last night but haven't tried it yet. I have no experience with the Grasp archetype so I'm excited to try it out.

 

[Trakan]

Absolutely, Supremacy is an absolute blast with friends. I love how quick the game is.

The funny thing is that most games I play end from time limit. 150 is too high for the score limit.

I also hope they tweak the amount of super gained from picking up crests. It's too much like mayhem. I love it otherwise though.

Agree with both these points. It's enough that there are shotguns everywhere. Don't need supers every 10 seconds as well.

its pretty damn nice. def can melt people. My Roll was pretty damn good on it too

I got it with Perfect Balance/Injection Mold, High Caliber Rounds/Quickdraw, Headseeker/Outlaw

bold is what im running with.

 

[rezn0r]

So far I hate every new LMG I've gotten from drops. I dunno why, but they don't feel good like with Y1 LMGs. Infusing or sharding most of them these days.

Same, I wanted to try out new or at least other guns than the handful I clung to the past year but the Oryx machinegun has gotten infused up the whole way so far.

 

[LiK]

IB AR is okay. The one I have is super stable but Impact is so low that it takes straight up headshots to really quickly take down guys in IB. Probably gonna infuse the 368 LL one into my Zhalo when i dismantle some more Y1 exotics tonight. I'll keep the 366 LL for regular PVP and try it there.

yeah the super train can get downright insane. I hope they do tweak that. 150 seems like a lot but games can swing wildly by 20 - 30 points easily since every kill =2 points a team gets 10 kills and picks up crests they can get 20 points easily and swing a game around. you could even be down 40 and chip away. So it all depends. I have hit some with time limits because some teams are way smarter about of denying crests so that adds a part to it.

They probably should add a point to denying crests to help games go faster as well or make a denial take points away from the other team.

 

[lt519]

All this talk of new LMGs and no love for Nemesis Star. I know it takes up an exotic but the thing shreds as well.

Is the Titan sunbreaker super OP or is there an effective way of stopping them other than another super/magically coordinating randoms to try to shoot him at once?

Striker Titan Super kills them if you can get close. That's what I do, hehe

I feel like the old light level weapons can still hold their own sometimes. That tells me that there isnt that huge of a difference in TTK with light level... or that i'm crazy... which is possible lol.

You can pretty easily counter with another super like the Titan smash, Hunters golden gun, or the Warlocks nova bomb.

Other than that,

How does the Joy Holliday quest work for the Last Word? Says you have to get kills with it to increase your standing with the crucible but the bar goes down it seems like. Do I have to get all the kills with it in one match?

I thought supers felt like they were getting refilled faster. I had no idea you got energy from picking up crests. Once you get halfway through the match, you might not be killed by anything but Supers. Maybe I'll try suppressors tonight.

I kind of like the mode, but it's just so limiting. So many shotguns, and I've played very few games that were competitive at all. It tends to snowball.

Hitting a well placed tether shot either in pve or in pvp (cancelling a super), is sublime.

 

[Truelize]

Nah... I'm really off from the game after 4 months... I got 3 Matador but just one have these rolls... the others I sharded

Well those shotties are a sweet "welcome back" gift.

Shotgun + melee if you can get the drop on him

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Thanks for the answers! I also hate the floating wizard/boogeyman, just die more often to axeman. Might have to run tether now.

Dreg's Promise. I will always challenge a Super if I have that gun equipped because I know I can win that fight. You might trade with them sometimes, but whatever keeps the rest of the team safe.

Isn't Dreg's Promise a year 1 exotic from House of Wolves?

There's a Y2 version now. I believe it came with the April Update.

Do you still get it from an exotic quest given out by the level 34 Prison of Elders? (Or something...can't remember)

Yup, I will use that on anyone using a Super. DENIED.

Highest-impact snipers (Black Spindle, Devil Dawn, Event Horizon) or high-impact with barrel mods to increase impact (Stillpiercer, But Not Forgotten) can head shot them.

Defender's anti-fun grenade (Suppression).

Kills, killstreaks, and wins make it go up, deaths and loses make it go down. KD of 1.0 is not enough to get it done. Cheese it by equipping TLW only prior to using a roaming super, take if off when finished. Equip it just before winning and hiding.

 

[GustyGardens]

Drops randomly after a Challenge of Elders match. Dreg's Promise, Queenbreaker's Bow and Lord of Wolves are all CoE specific exotics.

You can also get CoE class items and a ghost to drop randomly, too.

 

[PuMa]

How supers go from my end...

Me activating my super - instantly killed by two bullets

Me trying to kill someone in super - can't even bring down their shield after firing off two clips, shotguns, punch to the face, kick to the shin

:-(

Thanks! Good to know there's still an incentive to that activity. I'lll start running it since Dreg's Promise is super fun to use.

Would 3 of Coins have any affect to increase its drop rate or it's all RNG?

Wait you don't have to use it to get kills for the quest? I've been using it the entire match. What does the quest lead too anyway?

Is there a way to get the Black Spindel anymore or just Xur?

 

[X-Frame]

Nice. I see the Handling on this gun is piss poor though so ADS, swapping, reload, etc I think are affected.

Mine comes with Snapshot which not sure I will need. The other in that column is HCR which I hear is just dirty on this high RoF archetype. I also have Smallbore or Braced Frame and Hidden Hand.

Thanks for the run JJ and crew. I'm sorry I had to leave after death zamboni but I think my fiance would be a little mad if I showed up late to get our marriage license!

 

[ch4fx_]

You can run the Spindle quest at anytime now, so it's definitely still obtainable. The name of the strike escapes me at the moment, but you select it from the directory & put the difficulty on hard.

Let me guess are you also a hunter? I go through the same thing.
