I don't mind the emblem... but the shader is ugly as @#$%

I only have Million Million, and it turns my Titan into Disco Fever Titan. I'm pretty sure the reason I kill things in Iron Banner is because the other players are laughing too hard to fight back.

There is no tempered buff, it's been flattened across all days. And you don't have to wear or apply any shader, emblem or class item.

But how has it been flattened? Is it like playing on Thursday/Friday?

I don't have specific numbers for match wins, but I know the bounties are worth 750 rep each. I played 1 game, and turned in a single IB bounty and made it to rank 1. Two games later (with no bounties turned in) and I was rank 2. It just seems like they juiced-up the leveling

250 on wins, 150 on Medallions

I do not like the Hunter's IB wolf cloak. It's ugly... and my wife makes fun of my Guardian when he wears it.

The PS4 exclusive chain mail cloak looks great.

Another reason to hate the wolf's head: It's waaay taller than your guardian, so you can be seen behind boxes that would otherwise hide you.

Is it still considered your head for head shots?

Fortunately no. It's part of your cloak, not your helmet.

Does this mean that there is no increasing rep as the week goes on? Does it not matter which day you play?

That's correct. And leveling seems faster in general. I only played 2 games and got to rank 2 as an average player (redeemed only 1 IB bounty)

Iron Banner drops are fantastic!

by JDQuackers ⌂ @, McMurray, PA, Tuesday, October 04, 2016, 18:29 (3064 days ago) @ Korny

Lots of purples are dropping in the post-game screen, and they are usually 3-5 levels above your current equipped light level. Ghosts and Artifacts are also in the loot pool, so it's a great way to level up. I went from 367-370 after 2 games!

I also made an FTB event for tonight if anyone wants to come roll along with me!

this is encouraging

I'm awful at the game, but second game gave me a relevant artifact. So I'm happy.

The Pulse Rifle is *amazing*

Grasp of Malok with 2 great sights, built-in Counterbalance and plenty of room for good rolls. Mine has Braced Frame, High-Impact Rounds and Hidden Hand. Haven't lost a 1v1 yet.

It feels a LOT like a VoC, but it sounds like a pipe rifle. Here it is in action, completely unleveled:

I've used the Auto Rifle as well, and that feels like cranking a pepper mill. Tldr, I don't think there's a bad IB weapon yet (maybe the sidearm?).

I enjoy that your showboating nearly got you killed ^_^

The sounds are amazing across the board on the IB weapons from the one's I've used. The Sniper rifle though was pretty much crap for my preferences. Not nearly enough impact. Maybe if I can get a hidden hand/snapshot/hand-laid stock version it would work?

I got one with Firefly/Explosive Rounds/Hammer Forged, and while it's accurate, it doesn't hit hard enough. :(

that Hand Cannon sound

by Harmanimus @, Wednesday, October 05, 2016, 14:09 (3063 days ago) @ Korny

I have heard complaint of the sidearm, but that might also be that a lot of people in general dontt really dig on sidearms.

I got the HC out of one of my bounties. Small Bore, High Caliber, Luck in the Chamber. It's not the best for 1v1, but it has been making the clean up for team shooting really, really easy.

Finally, for the first time in my personal Crucible history I get a truly decent reward—The Unbent Tree.

My god that rate of fire almost obnoxiously fast. Or maybe I'm just unfamiliar with decent auto rifles. Either way this baby looks so cool! I love the brutish, feral aesthetic mixed with an ordinary Khvostov.
