It's fake. Some people claim that it works because they actually had a public event pop-up within 5 to 10 minutes of the timer's announcement, but I'm more than convinced that it's just coincidence! I've tried using the timer and it's only been correct 1 out of every 10 public events that I end up camping and waiting for. 1 out of 10 is not a good number! That alone proves to me that the 1 out of 10 events that happened when the timer said it would happen was just pure coincidence and the developer of this site just got lucky. Another reason I think it's fake is because the site doesn't say for which console it's made for. Are the PS3, PS4, 360 and Xbone servers all synchronized with one another? If I see a public event happen while playing Destiny on my PS4, are other people getting the same event on their different console too? Really? Did Bungie actually do that?
