Sigh... Just played a game where a guy on my team openly told everyone he was going to troll and force the team to lose in Iron Banner... And he did just that by never capping a point, purposely feeding the enemy kills, and doing everything he could to make things harder on the rest of us.....

Oh. So a normal game then?

 

[kgb_abc]

It's fun?

I wasn't implying that it wasn't fun...just wanted to check to see if the gear was better than regular legendary

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Where is Xur Located during the weekend?

There's at least 3-4 different spawn points in the tower

 

[figadapaura]

The Fallen will continue to claw at the walls of our city unless we strike them down. Beneath the ruins of a Cosmodrome, in the shadow of an old colony ship we've located the house of Devil's Lair, and their high servitor feeding them their strength. We must destroy their machine god, and send their souls screaming back to hell...

Sounds familiar...

 

[trance-ecj]

There's some guys in the basement at Forgotten Shores--I can't remember what level they are. One is called something like Celebrant Oryx

Yeah, but I thought in the final release, when you leveled up high enough to fight these guys, you would gain access to cool new areas to explore.

I guess not...

Every single one, yes.

sigh.....

 

[Afrocious]

Anyone up for completing VoG on heroic? I'm all the way up to the gatekeepers and I have a whole lot of time on my hands.

 

[Stallion Dan]

So apparently to get good Iron Banner rep your team needs win.

What is my incentive to not leave a game when it seems my team is crap?

 

[ComputerMKII]

So tired of that line

I love Lance Reddick's voice. I wish he had more things to say in the game.

[todd360]

Just looked at roster list. Saw fig is level 30. Immediately felt chances of winning the raid tonight go up mixed with a middle finger to RNGesus. I should be level 30 today too! Ahhhhh

 

[lunlunqq]

So, in the beta, there were these areas that had high level enemies, supposedly there to block particular areas.

I went to one area I remember in Old Russia, kinda right where you get dropped off in patrol mode, and killed two knights that had ?? over their heads when you saw them in the beta. Turns out, it's just a small room with absolutely nothing remotely interesting inside it.

There was an interview with Deej about these encounters, and he said these are aspirational moments, where one day, you aspire to be powerful to take these guys down and move into these blocked areas.

Sooooo......was that it? Gain access to a tiny room with nothing inside it? Is it that way with all these other areas that had those powerful enemies around?

Well, at least those 3 lvl20 hive enemies in the basement make it very fast to finish the "kill 10 hive major or ultra" bounty; so they are kind of serving a purpose...

Sepiks Prime cast a great shadow over our City. With its destruction, the Fallen Devils will grow weaker. But we must stay vigilant. The Fallen are crafty. They'll find ways to survive. They always do.

these are the best lines of dialog in the entire game

 

[Mindlog]

My last three Iron Banner matches have had the entire team quit.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[colinp]

I wasn't implying that it wasn't fun...just wanted to check to see if the gear was better than regular legendary

I don't believe it is, but I could be wrong.

 

[Nori Chan]

Serious question:

I'm level 29 and am one pair of boots away from reaching 30. Is there any point to play iron banner? Other than bragging rights??? The gear won't scale me to 30, correct?

To look good brug. Get that nice shader and cloak. And if you're not a hunter, make one, cause no one wants to wear a bracelet or a thong.

 

[broony]

Can anyone help me with the lvl 26 moon strike for the thorn bounty please?

It really is.

YES!!!

there's really not that much of an incentive to continue except the random loot

Gotta get that quad stack of bounties ("30 Melee Kills", "20 kills w/o taking damage from enemy", "Complete Strike w/o Dying", "Kill Sepiks") somehow...

If your team does rush through everything you could probably throw in the "20 double-kills with Fusion Rifle" bounty for a complete bounty wipe.

 

[everyday math]

Logging in to kick Athean's ass.

Buying some stuff at the tower. Then I'll join you.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Where is he even in the game

That's him:

 

[Devolution]

Bungie still didn't learn from Halo how to give proper incentives for staying till the end of a game even if you're losing?

Because this....is bullshit!

 

[RageWaffles]

Twice now in IB, I've been on a team that's started with only four people. What the hell. I don't quit matches, but this is making it very tempting.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

So tired of that line

It is getting old, but that actor was great on Fringe so I don't really mind.

 

[plantedunicorn]

It really is.

His delivery makes it great. I actually want to go hunt down Sepiks prime when he starts talking.

 

[darkwing]

That's him:

Oh man, I don't even remember that scene in the game, i made sandwiches instead because of dat story

 

[MWS Natural]

I dont' know what perks you have on yours, but mine has such a ridiculous stability that it's basically a high powered AR. Best heavy MG in the game imo.

Better than Zombie Apoc??

 

[Anton Sugar]

Ships are there to give variety to the abundance of loading screens, its just too bad most of them are poop colored.

I still maintain that everything about your ships--design, colors, animation--must have been handled by the Bungie C Team. Bland, boring, cartoony.

 

[keakster]

It is getting old, but that actor was great on Fringe so I don't really mind.

Where he was reprising his role from The Wire....

 

[Homeboyd]

I make a sandwich

Every time?!? Dayum son!

 

[Fushichou187]

Oh man, I don't even remember that scene in the game, i made sandwiches instead because of dat story

It's a screenshot of Commander Zavala, if I'm not mistaken. He's at the head of the Vanguard mentor table.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Where he was reprising his role from The Wire....

And? Lots of actors get typecast, take similar roles or whatever. He's still good.

 

[SnakeEyes]

[jeffc919]

Do we know yet if IB gear can be melted down for shards, or is it like the Queen gear where it's purple but doesn't give shards?

 

[everyday math]

Oh man getting bee errors.

 

[zma1013]

Is there really no raid helmut?

 

[rugioh]

will probably not be on for a few hours, have to go home eat dinner, put kids to bed.

 

[zewone]

Would 3 people with VOG experience be interested in doing a Normal run around 5:30PM PST?

Preferably a Warlock or two so we can cheese Atheon because it's so fun watching him walk off.

EDIT: PS4 by the way. I forget this game is on other consoles sometimes.
