I don't like the Cruible but I love the Iron Banner


I do not like playing the Crucible in Destiny.  About the only time I play Crucible is when an exotic weapon bounty requires I complete specific tasks in the Crucible.  There is no single reason why I dislike the Crucible.  The best I can come up with is the experience as a whole is not enjoyable.  For me the Zenith of PvP online gaming lies somewhere between Halo 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.  I loved Halo 3 for its Forge and Private matches while MW2 offered fun playlists that a player with a lifetime 1.1 K/D ratio could enjoy.  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a very close 2nd place to MW2.  I haven't owned a CoD game since MW2.
The Iron Banner knows your power.

What Now? Light level and the Cap Increase.


What Now?

So here I am as a level 31 Titan.  I’ve played Destiny on Xbox One since September after first seeing my son play it on launch day.  I missed the hype, the craze, and the beta of this game, so some of the gripes about this game are lost on me.  Here I am 7 months later playing the game and enjoying it as much as I did when I first installed in on my Xbox One.  My only gripes so far are getting my RNG’d legendary engrams RNG’d by the Cryptarch and getting nothing but a single mote of light for leveling a faction.  Other than that, not too much upsets me.  The lack of a rich storyline doesn’t bug me too much.  Hell, I’ve played the game for several hundred hours and the story line only really matters in those few 10-12 hours you spend playing the story missions the first time.  I don’t give a hoot about the story line when I’m ripping through Nightfalls after the weekly reset.  I see people whining about the lack of story mode, then I see them whining that they can’t skip cut scenes.  Pick one.

Typical Nightfall Rewards.  RT if u cri ery tyme.
