I got it back when I was racing for challenge points, but that's about it. Bannerless ftw..

Although I have seen some BAD botb players

Many things in this game leave me wondering, this is one of them. I honestly wonder how the vast majority I come across in gold pugs obtained this banner after I see the way they play in game, and it isn't because they think I will carry them as I don't run the banner. I have come across a few that are good but I would guess 90% leave me wondering WTF is that players problem.

I just got it today.

I had a victorious moment after my heart was pumping like a madman at the end of a Gold Solo run.

Now I feel I need a new game.

[Lunarhope]

 It's nice to have. Just so you can say you've done everything. But I don't think I would attempt it again. Those promotions... 

[Chrxna]

What is the botb banner to the custom dow banner, really?

[Shrakelle]

It's mostly just for completionism really.

I agree....Not everyone is a phenomenal player or teammate.

To be fair, people do have their bad days and can leave a bad impression due to lack of sleep...life problems...or just having a really awful day.

There have been some games where I come in dead last because I have the most horrendous lag. Lag so bad my teammates don't appear normally, just floating around with their arms to the sides. Usually happens if desynchronized with a team hosted in Europe.

There have been multiple games with invisible enemies and invincible enemies.

Games where I can't see where the objective is located...no timer...no music.

The good girl gina in me is not a quitter so I make the best of it. :innocent:

If BoTB had an attractive looking Banner, I'd probably equip it more often.

[UKStory135]

It was to me! Now I'm trying to get it on a second console.

When I see someone bearing the banner in a gold PUG, I feel more confident to finish the match. I did never wear it once because I don't want people think I can carry them. I'll say the process made me trying some unfamiliar classes and weapons otherwise I'd seldom touch. The N7 Mastery is really a tedious chore. But there's a tip for doing it fast by spamming Recruit Pack in the store.

I mainly went for it after they introduced the femshep version of that banner. I initially didn't want to go for it because of the promotions. After they announced that they put up a femshep version, that was my motivation for going after it. I sported it for a while but I kept getting the wrong impressions from pugs. I swapped to the Falcon Krogan Punch dog of war banner instead.

Hell to the yes it was worth it.

It made me a much, much better player, being forced to use classes and guns that you wouldn't have taken a second look at forces you to step your game up, especially if you complete the 200 wave grinds on Gold+ and PUG a lot.

It will also teach you to start looking for synergies in setting up your kits in lobbies, if you drop into a lobby and see three biotics, it's a good time to knock out some of your Adept, Sentinel, or Vanguard waves, since you'll be helping to set up and detonate BEs, which are a really great way to work your way through gold if your manifest isn't quite up to snuff in terms of weapons.

See a vorcha soldier in your lobby? Pick the GE and follow him around detonating all the things!

Was it a lot of work, a lot of grinding, hell yes, but totally worth it. Definitely helps remove any crutches you might have developed sticking to your comfort zone.

[Thrasher91604]

It's good for trying out all the kits. I promoted as soon as a challenge was done (200 waves + 10 extractions or less) so the N7 one was easy. I wanted to play all the different classes anyway. What was irritating was the over-cover grab challenges. 250 is quite an obnoxious target.

[Cyanide483]

you will pretty much never be kicked from a lobby while wearing the banner.... unless of course you've already played a game with that group and sucked badly or if you join with a level 1 using an avenger.

[capn233]

It totally changed my life.

This is why I don't run the Lone Wolf anymore.  I was so pleased when I got that - Solo'd Platinum for it.

Now I remember what I did for the grab thing: solo Repear Brown on Giant and Glacier for the 1st wave only. No shoot just grab. I won't recommend this way though. It grows tiresome fast.

[Thrasher91604]

Ah yes, there is this thread that recommended Giant/Cerberus/Bronze up to wave 3 ad infinitum to get the grabs. Did it. Terribly boring. Much more so than the gold solo challenge.

Yes, you will be a respected player even in public lobby.

[ISHYGDDT]

Yes it's totally worth grinding a couple hundred hours for a picture you add next to your name in the lobby.

[adi21]

Not even remotely worth it, I never use it and pugs who do don't affect my view towards them.

[ShinAnubisXIII]

If it had a title that didn't sound like an elitist douchebag and a darker background, perhaps. Otherwise it's really just for the 100% completionists. Wore it a few times, didn't like it at all...

[TBLKNIGHT]

I actually stopped playing as much once I got it.

[CapitateGoose]

It gives you a purpose, other than the RNG store.
I see that as a great plus.

Too bad I'm done with it and now the store is taking its revenge with the Reckoning URs.

Once I finish the Reckoning Challenge, I'll probably be in thesame boat. But I've said that before...  I may grind to get an Eagle, then at least I will have all the URs.
