Provided you grab them from Saladin first, yeah. He won’t hang on to them himself though. Bear in mind we (probably) won’t get another new IB armor set until S23 (the last one before Final Shape).

If they're bringing back D1 Iron Banner stuff I wish they'd being back the scout from Rise of Iron, it had a really solid noise to it and hit like a truck.

IB winners guide: The people bum rushing the points while spamming their abilities and firing wildly at anything that moves are winners. The people peeking around corners while nursing their K/D ratios like they're playing trials are losers. The special cabal point changes ownership in seconds; you just need to touch it with your toe before dying to help out your team. I've actually had a lot of fun this IB, but it's brought down by how tight they made the grind. Only two weeks, time limited rep multiplier, stingy drops. The funny thing is that IB not being a bonus valor week didn't actually matter, since you get at least an entire valor reset while trying to 100% IB drops.

The special cabal point changes ownership in seconds; you just need to touch it with your toe before dying to help out your team. Yeah, the flipside of kills scoring no points is that your life has no value while the time they spent killing you does. If you duel someone and lose or trade, that's that much time elapsed until the next point drop, which is in your favor if you hold the zones. If you neutralize or cap and then die half a second later, they still have to spend some time undoing that. It also means cheap delay tactics like AOEs and suppressing fire are more valuable than they are in other modes since it doesn't matter if you actually hit anyone, just make a route less viable And yeah, the special zone caps so fast that you can lock it while being killed by a grenade or sunspot or super remnant and that's points for you if no one else dares to do the same

Happy Noodle Boy posted:top 5% player, "normaly doesn't engage in PVP". I really don't. Here's my destinytracker profile, and my numbers from last season:  I typically don't give a poo poo about Crucible in any form - I'm not good at FPS PVP unless it's very objective-focused, which Crucible tends to not be. Fortress is extremely objective-based and K/D doesn't matter, so I can just focus on doing important stuff like grabbing points and popping bubbles. That's why I have a dogshit K/D of 0.86 but a 62% winrate: even though I'm rarely getting kills and dying often, I'm still helping the team.

arsenicCatnip posted:what site is that? I hate PVP so I'm curious where I stand destinytracker and cruciblereport can give you more information on your stats. RBX is right, though - the "top x% of players" thing is mostly just going off of winrate and a janky "ELO" system that's not tied to anything in the API, so don't trust those ratings too much. It's best for just seeing generalized numbers, like K/D ratios and such. ponzicar posted:IB winners guide: The people bum rushing the points while spamming their abilities and firing wildly at anything that moves are winners.

Get good at it and you can wipe the enemy team for the low low cost of a single death!

It is pretty funny charging to a bubble and taking out 2 dudes who just didn't expect it. And then none of your teammates touch the zone.

Again the main issue isn’t that bubbles and barricades are “bad” (that’s another discussion) The main issue is timing. Bubble is the only super up at the first centerpoint so the entire mode revolves around playing off of or countering that first super. (I’ve seen another super up 2-3 times because the guy loving slayed out, so it basically never happens). And then bubble is the only super that reliably gets a second go, so the final post-centerpoint segment also revolves around it. Thus your entire loadout centers around bubbles or you lose. Maybe that’s fine for you but I think it’s too much even for this mode.

Imho maybe they need to just give every one super right at the start or right after the first center point ends and that’s all you get for the match. Right now bubble is both the strongest super in the mode and the one you get the most.

Make it nothing but center points for the whole match, in different places one after the other. Nobody will have a super for the first few

Make the capture points later. If you put it behind 50 points rather than 40 more people will have supers up that can puncture a bubble.

Maybe it's my matchmaking value in the freelance playlist, but I haven't really felt bubbles to be overwhelming. Though, anyone who thinks Titans aren't massively strong for the mode is silly, given some of the bubble counters are "another bubble" or "Thundercrash" And counters from outside Void and Stasis are basically irrelevant. IMO Fortress is a good game mode. A million times better then Iron Banner Rift, and maybe more interesting of a game mode then Eruption. I think the biggest issues is everything surrounding it, as somewhat usual. The whole rep grind thing loving sucks. Get rid of the challenges. Enforcing people to use one of two subclasses for 18 games is a loving stupid design, and can create bigger problems of particular strategies feeling annoying or hard to counter. Needing 18 games to just get the rep rate to a decent point is loving stupid. Just bake it all into the gear bonus*, and challenges are just for the pinnacles. Alternatively, remove the subclass requirement and have it be 2/4/6/8 games. * But offer a way to get the gear reliably.

I wonder how people would have felt about the mode if void wasn't one of the subclasses in the challenge. If it was solar maybe warlocks could have finally had a chance to shine!

gonna be honest with you i don't give a poo poo about hunters so i'm not SUPER familiar with their stuff but i have seen these work for other people so
Regardless of what your chosen tactic is, the most important thing to keep in mind is Minimizing Your Exposure. Every moment you spend in the bubble drastically increases your chance of dying or being ineffective! Do not overstay your welcome. Get in, do whatever it is you're aiming to do, and leave. ONE LAST DISCLAIMER Ward of Dawn is not just a Super Ability, but one specifically designed for this situation. Even though these tactics CAN beat a bubble, it's not a guarantee that they WILL. There's a lot left up to chance and personal ability, and sometimes you'll do everything correctly and still lose. poo poo happens. Just try again, deaths don't matter in Fortress.

Crownsplitter's heavy attack will also straight-up vaporize a titan in their bubble. Got the shader, got all the armor pieces except for the hunter helmet. I actually don't like the shader on Starfire Protocol as much as Hoarfrost Sunrise, which gives it a sort of iridescence.
