I think a lot of us are "meh" with IB this time. I think the fact many of us don't really need the IB gear for infusion fuel, since we have most of our favorite items up to 400, really takes the wind out of our sails.
I don't really enjoy Supremacy, but I did enjoy Supremacy actually being more about Primary weapon battles, instead of people floofing about with shotguns.
I did run two characters enough to finish the IB bounties. I might run my 3rd toon tonight for a bit to get the bounties as well - or I might lose interest...lol
I'm just playing IB for fun now. Like Darth said, no need for infusion fuel. Since I don't need the gear, I just focused on getting better with weapon types I have avoided in the past (e.g. hand cannons and sidearms).
And I actually like Supremacy as a game type. Would rather play that than Rift these days.
I'm still rolling over half of my bounties each IB, so I start 2 characters at Rank 2 so it's not much of a grind to get to 5's.
So I was in denial about being in the last part of the Arc Sword quest. It was actually the part just before Purgatory -- I mean materials collection.
Could anyone confirm that spin metal collection in the Plague Lands counts? I presume it does, but my first attempt -- which, admittedly was only a measly 2 hours -- produced zero results.

Using your Gheleon artifact I hope. Should save you a lot of time. Also, I don't think chests count.
Gosh, Duke, I seem to remember the drop rate was something like 1 in every 10-15 maybe yielded the special item. If you ran for 2 hrs and didn't get a single drop, I'd say it may be time to run just the old earth area for a while. I ran mine in the divide and rocket yard, easy areas to run a lap in and pick up the spinmetal. With the new gheleon artifact, it should be much easier to spot.
In case anyone else has yet to do it: I confirmed materials for the Arc sword can be gathered in the Plaguelands. I did most of my work at Skywatch, using Gheleon. Once I had 9 I did my weekly Plaguelands patrol quest and got the 10th material just before I finished.
To speed things up in Skywatch just a tad, whenever I grabbed a spinmetal close to the entrance to Lunar Complex or Terrestrial Complex, I would run through entrance until I crossed into one or the other complex, then run back. If no one was in Skywatch (rare), the same spinmetal would be there and untouched. I could then make the same run again with the same results. If there were other guardians present (the usual situation), the spinmetal still would be there but glowing (as when another guardian has grabbed it before you). In those cases I might get one more run out of it, if lucky.
I'm new to 2O2P, and I'm mainly a Destiny Player; play on both systems, PS4 and Xbox 1. Looking to Raid more often, do nightfalls, POE, quests, PVP, etc. I'm currently in the middle of the No Time to Explain quest, on both systems. With VOG, as the raid of the week...I'm hoping to get the Eye of Atheon, on both systems. At any rate, if any of you need any fireteam help, with any activity, let me know. I'll play any class, that's needed, on either system.

Ready for the last part of the Arc Sword quest. Happy to return the favor with Nightfall or mission of your choice.

Agree. For me it was on average 1 in 10 and I focused on old Earth as well.
