Destiny 2 Iron Banner has always been the main source of high-end gear for four to five weeks during the season. But, beginning Season 17 Bungie changed the general format of the PvP event , creating new game modes and revamping the entire inventory of vendors.
Six months since the new Iron Banner system launched, players are now questioning Bungie’s decision of bringing in the event twice per season. The duration is only for a week that requires players to work for extended durations of time in order to roll weapons and victories.
Recent Reddit post that is receiving lots of comments has the same sentiments about iron banner. Iron Banner issue. The post was posted by SuperSolidSnack on the subreddit of SuperSolidSnack on the subreddit for Destiny 2 in which he sought to justify the Iron Banner’s two-year limit. per season.
Iron Banner is becoming irrelevant to the Destiny 2 community due to its absence from the game each season.
Loops that can be replayed and farming for titles are always prominent topics in this Destiny 2 community. As this season created an unpleasant feeling among the majority of the players and players are looking to the older games that were once enjoyable to play. However, it appears that this aspect has been snuffed out also.
A Reddit post by SuperSoldSnake questions what the reason is for why Iron Banner is limited to an indefinite period. They asked the following question:
“What is the rationale behind the necessity of cutting Iron Banner down into two extremely short times over three months?”
Bungie also introduced a new seal dubbed “Iron Lord,”” offering players 14 days in which to complete it. Goals include participating in Destiny 2 Iron Banner matches and changing Lord Saladin’s reputation two times as well as acquiring new gears and finishing tasks.
But, many players aren’t satisfied with the amount of time Bungie allows to accomplish general success.
Similar to Season 17, Iron Banner is scheduled to be played twice at the beginning of September, one on the 6th and another time in the week-long restart on the 15th of November. Unfortunately some players have been unable to enjoy God-roll weapons, triumphs and the pinnacles due to a lack of time.
A lot of players claim that Bungie made this change in order to increase the players’ FOMO (fear of being left out) and to make everyone participate in the event more often by reducing the timeframe. While this was effective for players who created content and PvP veterans, a significant majority of people have been exempted.
Based on the reactions of the community, it’s evident that the majority of players don’t have the time or do not care about the new system at all. It is yet to be determined if Bungie will be able to adapt to the once popular PvP activities, apart from simply changing game modes throughout the year.
