FlyLow_ Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm pretty sure the event on the 26th has stuff that will carry over, not the Iron Banner events Some stuff is supposed to carry over from Iron Banner, forget where I read it but it was a bungie quote before the first event. I've been operating under the assumption that was the entire point of having a 2 hour event in a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11959 The Iron Banner Returns Have you met Lord Saladin? If you crave the most hardcore challenge to be had in the Destiny Beta, this champion of the City is your dealer. The Iron Banner in the Crucible is his domain. You’ll find him holding court in the plaza at the back of the Tower – playing hard to get and enjoying the best view of the sunset that our home has to offer. The doors to his haunt swing wide only for special occasions like the Iron Banner. His call to action is unforgiving. The Iron Banner is just one of the ways we’ll keep you on your toes as you progress on your journey. It’s another reason to clash with other Guardians in deadly competition. If you’ve accepted this challenge before, all you need to know is that it’s coming back. Once again, it will send you into battle in four arenas: 'Rusted Lands' on Earth, 'First Light' on the Moon, 'Shores of Time' on Venus, and 'Blind Watch' on Mars. If you have yet to sample the elevated carnage and mayhem of this limited time event, here are some things you need to know: -You must meet with Lord Saladin before you can compete. Seek him out in the Tower, opposite the landing zone. -The Iron Banner is accessed as a separate playlist in the Crucible. -The power ratings on your weapons and armor are crucial to victory. While combat in the Crucible offers a level playing field, the Iron Banner demands your very best gear. -Victory earns you reputation and rank to unlock special Iron Banner gear, and you can only browse or acquire your rewards while the event is live! -Iron Banner challenges are available from the Bounty Tracker to make your exploits in battle even more profitable. -If you reach your competition-worthy rank of Level 5 while this event is happening, you’ll need to check in with Lord Shaxx first. He’ll issue your Crucible invitation in the Hall of Guardians, just down the stairs from the main landing zone in the Tower. We want to know who the most powerful Guardian in the Tower is. Step forward and be measured by your peers. Bring the best items in your inventory, and show them the true meaning of war. All times are PDT. Friday, July 25th 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM* 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM Saturday, July 26th 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM* 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM *Earlier bouts added because we love our European players, too. “Is this the special surprise that you had planned for Saturday?” you ask. No. It’s not. Nor are these the permanent rewards we’ve promised. We’ll tease those tomorrow. The Bungie Weekly Update will tell you all about how this grand experiment that has been the Destiny Beta will end. In the meantime, prepare to brave the Iron Banner!

Xbox Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) My god this game is absolutely unreal. The detail in the game and the overall graphics just superb. Wish 360/PS3 didn't hold the game back but with a 500 Million Dollar budget those systems are essential to make the money back since there's only 13M PS4/XB1's out there combined. Less than 10 times what the PS3 and 360 combine for (~160M) Enjoying the beta so far with Warlock being the most fun for me. Not much depth in the beta, but it's a beta and I'm thankful I'm even playing at all. Anyone who's sad they don't have a code, now it's available for everyone to download! (Unconfirmed for 360/PS3) but on PS4/XB1 it's available to play. Edited July 25, 2014 by Lups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I wonder how good of equipment you need to have for the Iron Banner? I haven't played a ton yet so I'm not sure if I'll do very great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is at least Level 6 when your character gets the general all around upgrade. Level 8 would be the most ideal but I think level 6's will do fine. I have a lvl 8 Hunter and lvl 6 Warlock. I prefer the Warlock so hopefully I can upgrade it in time. If not, Hunter it is. 100+ Defence for Iron Banner and you should be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think everyone will be running Iron Banner with level 8 equipment. If you're good at Halo type of shooters then you should be fine with level 6 equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blömqvist Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 How good are you at PvP? What's your combat rating? http://destinytracker.com I have no idea how good I am without reference to the average player's "combat rating." I'm at a 7.68 combat rating (0.83 K/D ratio) and the top player has a 15.48 combat rating (3.76 K/D ratio). What's everyone else's combat rating like?

FlyLow_ Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was doing okay with level 5/6 gear in my first iron banner and around 100 defense. My 2nd go I was maxed out with 62 attack weapons and 160+ defense and pretty much crushed it. My first 30 games I think I averaged .30, I was awful but i'm up to .90 now. Once I found the right set up i've been around 1.5 K/D, but I leave a lot of games if i'm playing with randoms. Everyone seems to just want to run in circles instead of just controlling the map, it's very frustrating constantly having to defend by yourself against 3 or 4 enemies.

Lychees Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Overrated It was a little overhyped IMO but its still a fantastic game, I mean with what little content we have to work with in beta, i'ts pretty much everything I expected from a MMOFPS somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. My jaw was on the floor once I discovered and delved into Hellsmouth. I can't even fathom how big it will be once the doors inside are open.
