dont you still get normal crucible rep and rep marks? no shame in corpsegrinding.
I love the Bastion map..it's awesome how every single game 2-3 of my teammates sit outside of C and try and snipe people at A for the entire match, die horribly to anyone coming from B, then run back to their position and keep staring at that stretch of land that's empty 90% of the time, and it's great that it pops up so frequently too, I don't know if this game could keep my interest if it didn't go to this map every 2-4 games and it feels like Christmas when I get it back-to-back..
Honestly, people who drop out of the iron banner when losing are missing the bigger picture. They still get crucible rep and marks, and they get a chance at getting new items, and they can just work on any bounties they might have. Quitting just because you won't get 30 or so rep is dumb.
Dunno what you're talking about, PvP is where the real fun's at IMO. PvE is all just "defend the MacGuffin" against hordes of enemies, it gets old.
I tried Iron Banner and it didn't seem nearly as unbalanced as the description claimed, so yeah it's not that different from normal Crucible IMO.
I should try it again now I got to Crucible Rank 2 and bought me a Legendary.
Bah. First Light is my favourite.

You don't play Blind Watch very much do you?
Those new items are not guaranteed, and those bounties aren't exactly the easiest in the game. What's dumb is that you get no Iron Banner rep for a loss. It's a mistake and players quitting shows that. If players wanted Crucible rep they would just play regular Crucible.
"Skipped gatekeepers" ... is there a gatekeeper cheese or something?
Blind Watch has issues because of B flag. First Light is thoroughly repulsive.

No, people who have beaten them can let you join their party, so you get their save. Then you leave and you are now saved at Atheon. You can skip the entire raid except Atheon. they apparently didn't look at how any other MMO's do raid lockouts.

"Issues" is a nice way of putting it. I rarely get to play First Light anymore. It almost never comes up in rotation for me, but I kinda of like that map. *shrugs*

The only downside to having power-leveled my Warlock is that I'm constantly running out of Hadronic Essence to upgrade my gear.
Why on earth would anyone willingly play IB over regular crucible for that? Hell why on earth would anyone play IB other then the fact that by the time they hit level 2 they realized they've been suckered into playing the biggest piece of shit game mode in history of videogames but they're kinda close to getting the gear.

Blind Watch is horrendous because of B. Any half decent Bravo team can lock you out of B and C and by the time you finally get it their spawn they'll have sizable lead from getting the 2x multiplier handed to them on a silver platter.
Yes, I know. They need to move B out on top, between the canopy that covers C and the stairs that lead down to that circular pit area. But still, I'd rather play a dozen Blind Watch games in a row than play First Light more than once per session.

Absolutely, the only time a team loses ground once it holds B and C is if they try to take over A.

How about they move B to the rooftop of Blind Watch? The area above B point where you can drop down. Keep A where it's at, then move C back a bit near Bravo's spawn. Making capture points a bit more open so they're harder to defend.

I got Super Good Advice and Thunderlord light machine guns about a day apart from each other. Which would you all suggest I be using?

I'm not sure if there's an easy fix. I think the empty area with the silos should be converted and the spawn placed there. It's super easy to go back and forth between B and C and to add insult to Alpha team, Bravo gets that window to rain hellfire on anyone who plans to take C. Shit, they can shoot at people as they're coming from A too lol
Dreadful map.
Thunderlord is like 10 billion times better. King of machine guns.
Ok, I get the principle, but not the execution.
Who is the team leader in that case? Who can start the final level?

So someone who is currently saved on Atheon invites you to their fireteam, they take you in, you're at Atheon. You back out, now you are now also saved at Atheon. Voila! You skipped the gatekeepers/raid.

Super Good Advice isn't that great. Definitely go with Thunderlord.

Thanx for the heads up. Got em!
Though I just got the 77 Wizard from a blue engram so now thinking is there much point?
But at least that should make it easier to farm 200 kills.

I think Bad Juju is worse than the fucking klobb
It's not just that, they can be accurately shot from that window across the map... with an auto rifle. It's one of the spots in the game where that crazy range feels like such an unfair advantage.

I'm not sure I understand or remember our previous posts. How did you waste the points?
I have a feeling this will be GTAV's experience when I pick it up on the 18th.
No, it doesn't. They are the easiest kills in IB/Crucible.
I went for 28. There is no guarantee you will get all the Raid gear anyway.
If you can wait until 10am EST, I will help you out.

Any good strike or mission for vex majors/ultras?
Solo the nightfall up to breaching the gate part?

The weekly. Or just patrol near the citadel.

Go to the citadel on Venus patrol. 2 zones left from where you drop in from orbit. 2 major minotaurs up top across the bridge, one major minotaur just below near the conflux, which will cause the two above to respawn again. There's also one or two major hobgoblins or harpies waltzing around the area. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two to get the 10 kills.
