The event its self should be challenging, it is enjoyable and bad ass. Sadly, the waiting around for the event to happen is actually the most challenging part. I am blessed, the waiting for the blight PE wait is behind me. Having to do a heroic version 3X of the exact same mission seems like a unimaginative way to draw this mission out. Bungle might be the greenest company on the planet with how much they recycle. I will admit the whole oracle side piece is cool. I love the VOG nostalgia. I do not believe Bungle one bit when they said they were looking into this. Their "looking into it" statement felt like a cheap way to shut people up without having to look into anything. If this was an issue with Eververse, the issue would have been solved within a day. Bungle has some of the most talented people in the industry, I know they could fix this problem in no time if they cared.

Going on hour 4 here. About 15 ish cabal public events. Wtg bungie...

15 cabal in a row. Don’t worry. There will be 20 blights in a row...., once the mission closes. :(

and another one

so its been about 45 mins since last post...still just cabal oh and thats 3 in that time

Cabal again? With their earth shaking, concentration shattering machinery...

there it is right on time this is seriously -blam!-ed now

should be up for another cabal PE any time now...its been almost 15mins

and ANOTHER cabal...seeing a trend

ANOTHER 15mins with NO PE oh wait another cabal..gg

15mins with NO PE and oh wait another cabal

I practised the jumps solo before I used lfg to find a group. I ran the jumps and cleared the room solo, every time I finished one and I got back to Io there was another taken blight either just starting or started. I must of been lucky.

so far ive been here for 5 hours and have had 2 maybe 3 not sure (too long ago since last one)...and prolly 13 cabal...its taking ages between them and its just been cabal for the last 10 or 11...getting kinda annoyed, and yea the whole time ive been planet side

A message to all the naive people defending this. Having 15 consecutive taken blight public events doesn't balance out the fact that there was 15 consecutive cabal public events. You only need 1 taken blight event to activate the mission so you're not sitting around for 4 hours doing nothing. Having 15 taken blight is pointless. Having 3 cabal then 3 taken blight is useful. There are 4 locations (public events) in the lost oasis. 3 of them are taken blight. Therefore you should have a 1 in 4 chance of getting a cabal drop ship public event. Doesn't quite add up as RNG when it comes in 15 times, one after the other does it? This isn't purely an RNG issue. This is a Bungie issue. The drop rates of strike weapon catalysts is RNG. The drop rates of escalation protocol is RNG. Bungie have just said that they have altered the coding so that the longer you participate in these events the better your chances of the weapons dropping. They are manipulating the "RNG" all the time so they know they have the ability to alter the 4 hour repeating public event streaks. The fact they know about this last week proves that these streaks are a deliberate ploy. They would be better off telling the truth as opposed to assuming their players are stupid. They have previously announced that they have no control over what Xur sells each week cos it's "RNG", yet when Prometheus lens was broken in PvP it was a happy coincidence that xur sold that weapon that very weekend? Mmmyeahok. I have the gun, but as a friend and I enjoy the mission we took clan members/friends through over the weekend. We then went on LFG offering to take people through. The post was as popular as an escalation protocol post. I had 9 people apply within 30 seconds. We invited 2 to party at a time last night. Only had 1 taken blight event appear in 4 hours. This is clearly a deliberate mechanic from Bungie. This game/company name has been dragged through the mud recently and they now have a mission that is great fun to run and yet they decide to wreck it by doing this. Stunning.
