Anyone planning on running I.B. this time around?
Seems like last I.B. most people opted for the Lone Wolf option.

I'm up the walls with work the last few weeks, so have been only really online really late, so Destiny hasn't really been an option for me.

Not sure if I'll rank up to Level 5, but I may jump in for a few games.

I'll be off on jolly's from Thursday so will miss pretty much all of it, but I'll come back with a great fcuking tan so...

Rolling around in the muck doesnt give you a tan :P

Iron banner cancelled, same reason as trials.

Players weren't able to join matches. Simples. :rolleyes:

I think it's related to the issue of players appearing invisible in the Tower and such, player assets not loading correctly, if at all.

A small number of people couldn't see enemy players. Also people were doing damage of 1-2 HP in crucible.

PlainP

Ah jaysys, was looking forward to playing (getting hammered) this. Load of boll0x..

Unusual for bugs like this to be appearing now. Was it introduced in a recent patch? Was looking forward to getting back into some Iron Banner myself.

Yeah, only started to happen after last weeks update. From my experience anyway. Didn't notice the damage issue in Crucible, but did the slightly ghosted character models in the tower.

PetKing

Everything in the game seemed sketchy after the CoE introduction update. Friends list disappearing and all that.

SolvableKnave

Serious amount of sarcasm Tinfoiling in this but......

What if all these issues are due to the impending departure from Last Gen???? Maybe we NEED Last Gen to keep the game stable???? Eh eh eh? No? Thought not.

Up now! 2 class items, 2 helmets machine gun and scout rifle are on sale.

Played a few games last night, won 2 and lost 3 games (I think).

Enjoyable few games, but there was 1 lad who just kept stealing kills... Honestly I don't know how these people sleep at night. He stole 8 kills from me in 1 game.

Is it Rumble? If not, he's not stealing he's team shooting with you and been a good team mate :P

Shoot them in the head Chimp, they'll die faster and you won't be the assist king.

Nothing quite like hanging over someones shoulder timing that kill shot to perfection. Takes about 3 or 4 for them to start mentioning it.

I will state, for the record, that I was not playing IB last night.

Yep, a real good teammate . In fairness to me I did acknowledge that I was stealing kills.

I'd be up for more kill stealing this evening if people are about!

After a certain number of "Team Player" badges, you really feel like throttling someone :pac:

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I'll hopefully be on again at some stage tonight, to redeem myself.

Angron

I would like to formally apologise to folks I was playing with via my laggy internet. Being on the other side of it now, I understand how bloody annoying it is to see people jumping around the place on a red bar :pac:
