Discussion IronBanner & Trials: Armor included in rewards o.o

[Joshy]

​

Lord Saladin will welcome competitors to back the Tower on October 13th.

• The tempered buff is now automatically applied and continues to grow in effectiveness each day of the event.

• The alt catch-up buff and Iron Medallion mechanics are unchanged.

• Potential match completion rewards now include both weapons and armor, matching the same items available from Lord Saladin during each event.

• Drop rates have been increased and are intended to be the primary source of rewards from Iron Banner. If you don't get what you're hoping for, you have the option to visit Lord Saladin instead.

• Gear purchased from Lord Saladin now requires Legendary Marks instead of Glimmer.

• New emblems have been added to his inventory.

• All new bounties including 9 Daily bounties (3 per day) and 3 new Weekly bounties which reward Legendary Marks.

• Recommended minimum Light for Iron Banner: 230.

• Only Level 40 Guardians can lead a Fire-team.

​

Brother Vance will welcome competitors back to the Reef on October 16.

• Trials gear will now drop exclusively as end-of-match rewards for winning teams.
  • The more you win, the better those drops will be!
  • There’s no need to return to Brother Vance, all rewards come directly to you.

• Passage Coins still drop for the losing team. Trials is still about winning, but Coins can help make that easier.

• Trials Passages now have a Details page containing your active buffs. You won’t be able to add buffs once you’ve started your Trial, so make sure you buy them first!

• Players that go undefeated on their Passage will continue to be invited to The Lighthouse.

• Players may continue to play in the Trials past 9 wins (but they won’t get any better gear).

• Brother Vance now has Trials Bounties available each weekend to provide players with a way to get sweet Trials gear, even if they’re not reaching the Lighthouse.

• Regular Crucible Bounties are also still valid in Trials.

• We will attempt to match up teams with similar win counts.
  • If you have 1 win, we will try to match you with another team with only 1 win.
  • If you have 8 wins… yup. (That flawless will be a bit more hectic to earn)

• If we can’t find a high-quality match, we will loosen the win requirements first (in other words, we will not prioritize “wins” over low-latency matches).

• Overtime timer in Elimination will now show 0:00 instead of stopping at 0:01 when time expires.

• Teammate and enemy Revives now have distinct audio cues.

• Recommended minimum Light for Trials of Osiris: 290.

• Only Guardians with at least 251 Light can lead a Fire-team.

Wonder boys already posted this in the updates thread, but people haven't been active in that thread lately so I guess I'll leave this for now. I'm surprised trials is coming back this quickly honestly. I thought it wouldn't be around until people got bored with the hard raid. Hopefully there will be a decent primary with elemental damage on it. I like how they are making it so you match against a team with the same amount of wins as it will be way more challenging, but it's stupid that this won't happen every time. Some people will have easy flawless runs while others will have to do the full ladder playing against teams in the same spot...

Haven't even heard of when the hard Raid will be released yet. That match making thing, will probably be determined by the time you go on and play though. If all of Bungie's employees are asleep you can end up playing with any team, or even no teams. I'll take the free win when it comes.

What does Bungie employees have to do with it? Their not going to hand pick the matches, it will be automatic. The system is supposed to match you up against teams with the same amount of wins, but it will prioritize latency over this. Obviously that will be a good thing, but it makes the ladder system seem pointless if every game isn't matched like its supposed to be.

I'm so excited for the hunter cloak from iron banner.

Just save up 200 marks right before the 13th, then use all three characters on the daily events, strikes etc to gain more for another piece of armor. And guess what, armor will be dropping as rewards guys. Just get that light level up as high as you can, you might be getting some 310 gear.
