SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Never did this before today...didn't get too bad of an ass whipping. Going to be playing this tonight after the GTA playlist if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane 495 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just finished playing about 4 hours worth. There is some nice gear, but it's easier to get an Etheric Light from PoE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to rank up IB and complete bounties. Finished up the PvP portion of the Thorn bounty last night in IB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Profane, I enjoyed played with you and those other guys last night. Haven't gamed with Pepperoni since GTA Heists. Thanks for the invite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane 495 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Definitely is more fun with other people even if the majority of the chat is people swearing and saying "WTF??" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you all are running IB again today, I'll take an invite if there is room. TIA Playing with people that actually play the objective makes it so much better.

JustHatched 12,103 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I tried the IB, even though I don't have the level as most in it my first go at it had me at the top of the leader board for my team at the end (we still lost....by ALOT). 1 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Pr0fane 495 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Well, it's a good way to get access to an extra Etheric Light and some nice armor. Just remember to grab bounties before you go in. May as well get those extra rep points and level up. Oh, and Crucible bounties count in the Iron Banner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Is there any reason to run IB after you hit rank 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane 495 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nope, nada. You unlock the ability to buy an Etheric Light and ranks 3 and 5 then that's it. If you have another character...queue him up. Supposedly second and third characters get some kind of bonus XP situation but I haven't confirmed that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pr0fane 495 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 It does. So keep your shader, emblem and class armor for next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rofur 209 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Do you get IB rep even if you lose? Not much of a PVPer so not really played it before. Might give it a go next time it comes around if you can still gain rep from losing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane 495 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 You do not, rofur. But you DO get a medallion for each match you lose. These medallions will stack up to 5. When you win a match, you redeem any medallions you have, up to 5, for a nice bonus. So even losing eventually does pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeymorScagneti 1,274 Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 If IB had gauntlets and chest pieces this time, is it a sure thing they'll have helmets and greaves next time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane 495 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I honestly couldn't say, but I think they are semi-random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I suck at the IB, if it weren't for everyone "carrying" me I would never make it.

rofur 209 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I suck too and am only in it for the light but I don't think you get carried Hatched. If you can get a few kills it all adds up. I see it as a team effort and the few kills you get could be the kills the team needed to win. Just enjoy the ride and you may randomly get a nice piece of gear to drop just for competing.

Pr0fane 495 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah, what rofur said. Hatch, you saved my bacon a few times yesterday while I was trying to snipe. It all works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Finally hit rank 5 for this one. I am working on using hand cannon for this. Word of Crota works pretty good. IMO it is better than Hawk moon for PvP 1 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Haste 190 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I think it might be better too Hatch, I think the best PvP Hand cannon is hands down Thorn, cause Damage over Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane 495 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) It's definitely a good idea to get a handle on using hand cannons for PVP. WIth their current damage model, they deliver the most impact per shot so if you can hit your mark, you can take down your enemy. Hand cannon is your best primary for that. Unless you count Universal Remote which is an Exotic Shotgun that goes in your primary weapon slot. But yes, as a Legendary, Word of Crota is an excellent choice. If/when we get Fatebringer, that may be slightly better. As things currently stand, Thorn is the #1 weapon used in Iron Banner. It's Impact + Range + Accuracy + lingering damage make it amazing. Followed closely by Hawkmoon. Note I said "currently" as the Bungie developers plan to balance the hand cannons with the release of Taken King. For one thing, their range is going to be reduced somewhat. Hatch; I think you're rocking that Vespian Dynasty and if you can hit your target with it; even better! The only drawback really, is that Secondary Ammo is almost as limited in Iron Banner as Heavy and that can be frustrating if you rely on a weapon that doesn't have ammo.

markt112 168 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hawk moon is the best primary for pvp imo, much better than thorn. Does anyone here play trials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b17vic 73 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Have not tried ToO yet. For what it's worth I use The Last Word PvP, many times the Thorn has failed to kill me. . . . Maybe some players rely too much on the damage per sec of the Thorn? Reached rank 5 today in IB. I do have Fatebringer but it needs upgrading.
