1. The guns are in the API now.
There's 4 versions for every weapon.
That means - normals, shiny normal, adepts, & adept shinys.
I'm going to emphasize this again, the best strategy will be to farm normal....
Especially Prophecy... because there's 2 armors sets in addition.
Next, let's talk about the TWiD.
[i]"Nature Reclaimed will be first available starting May 20, when Iron Banner returns. You can get it as an end of match reward and from engrams you open. Once you have earned it for the first time, you can focus it at Saladin in the Tower, like every other Iron Banner weapon.
For The Inquisitor and Cruel Mercy, we are trying something a bit different for the duration of Rite of the Nine and until The Edge of Fate launches. While both will be available at their respective vendors, [u]they will also drop as additional rewards when you finish a Trials match or a Nightfall activity. That also includes their Adept counterparts![/u]
Trials of Osiris will be back on May 13 for the first time after Update 8.2.6 is live, so winning on a four-win streak can get you the featured reward, Aisha's Care (Adept), but also an extra The Inquisitor (Adept) to go with it. Same thing in Grandmaster Nightfalls: for every Lotus Eater (Adept) you get on the week of May 6, you will get a Cruel Mercy (Adept). Have fun with the extra loot, everyone".[/i]
Why not IB? If Iron Banner got attrition based rng adepts... I don't know if it saves PvP, but more people would play for sure.
2. I said, "attrition based"... not 'merit' based. Like the Nether and CoB, you'll get rng adept drops of these weapons for completing ANY Nightfall, or ANY Trials match.
This is testing for portal rewards I guarantee it. These rng rates will improve based on the delta and modifiers you choose in PvE.
But NOT IB?
Nature Reclaimed and future IB weapons should include these rng adepts, imo.
My thoughts.
What are yours?
