Iron Banner my insight

As the title of this blog says this one is going to be a destiny one surprise, I promise all my blogs won’t be destiny orientated. Since Tuesdays  reset hit the seasonal event of iron banner went live this event comes round three times per season and what can I say personally three times a season is more than enough. As a veteran player of destiny I have experienced iron banner in all of its literation’s, so after I have put myself through the suffering and misery of playing it since reset and most of the weekend I feel I can give my views and opinions on iron banner and the somewhat state of pvp. Personally, I feel that iron banner has become somewhat of a toxic environment to play in as someone who is not skilled at the pvp side of this game I found iron banner as a bit of fun to jump into. However, the more and more matches I played the more misery that’s falls upon me I don’t still understand how bungies whole matchmaking for pvp works but it always seems as if I get paired up with capable team mates. The problem however is from the teams I get matchmade against it always feels and seems that the enemy team always somehow can teleport anywhere around the map build supers far quicker and gain heavy ammo out of nowhere. Before people say get better at pvp and stop whining lol, I rarely play pvp I only play iron banner for the rewards which I will go into and give my view on that shortly.

Iron Trials

The moment I load into iron banner it certainly doesn’t feel like your normal pvp seasonal activity the smell of cheese Doritos and mountain dew hits me along with a six-stack team of the most competitive sweaty teams I have ever gone against. It  feels like game play jumps up  massive levels it goes from feeling relaxed and having fun to being constantly on edge and feeling like I am playing comp or trials of Osiris. I am not saying all good pvp players shouldn’t play iron banner because that wouldn’t be fair I am not about to excluded somebody from playing any game. To me it just feels like every pro pvp player just gets match made into iron banner just to troll and make the players who want to have some suffer and not want to play because that’s how  I certainly feel when playing iron banner most the time. I can be killed by Jotunn’s ammit’s  and wishender so many times before I am begging my ghost to transmat me out of iron banner sure I understand it’s a pvp game and you can use what weapons you want but OMG them three weapons feel like the holy trinity weapons  of pvp.

Come on Valus Forge be more rewarding you old wolf

From me personal experience and view I still feel that iron banner is not as rewarding as it should be the only reason I grind iron banner every season and force myself to go through rank resets is to get the shader as I love shaders and guardian fashion. In hindsight when I look at rewards that trials of Osiris gives why cant iron banner as I also collect things on destiny I would love for things like ghosts ships sparrows or even ornaments which would make a perfect addition to the reward pool. This idea and view would not appeal to everything but for me this would make my iron banner experience more bearable and worthwhile playing. I know this would take a lot of work which I would never understand as a games developer but it would just be a nice touch and little extra to make it more rewarding when playing a game mode that can be a frustrating struggle. As this latest blog comes to a close my next blog will be something different and be on another game franchise that I love resident evil I will be giving my honest review on resident evil 4 remake so until next time levels up my avatars and see you I the digital world again soon.
