I usually don’t complain too much about game play so for me to post this is rare!
I realize there are a lot of new players coming in with the launch of Forsaken, so there is a learning curve for those new guardians.
PLEASE LEARN HOW TO MAKE PUBLIC EVENTS HEROIC!!!!
When I see a new low level guardian trying to help complete the public events and they have no clue how to make it heroic I will always send them a message.
I never tear them down in the message, it quite simple actually.
“Do you know there is a way to make all public events heroic?”
I will usually get a simple reply stating no and then get a notification for a party invite so I can explain how to do the last public event to make it heroic. I will then offer to show them on the next the public event.
Today I received a message from a higher level guardian who was helping their lower level friend.
“Why? It’s not worth making them heroic anymore!”
At first I was a little upset, but then I realized they were right!
There used to be a high chance of at least receiving a purple engram MAYBE even an exotic. Now it’s two blues, a few materials and glimmer!
Bungie NEEDS to fix this as soon as possible!
EDIT:
Suggested rewards:
[b]Regular Public Event[/b]
1 - Blue Engram
5 - Materials
500 - Glimmer
1 in 50 - Purple Engram
1 in 100 - Exotic Engram
[b]Heroic Public Event[/b]
2 - Blue Engrams
15 - Materials
2500 - Glimmer
2 - Masterworks Cores
1 in 10 - Purple Engram
2 in 25 - Purple Engram
1 in 25 - Chance of Exotic
1 in 50 - Exotic Engram
Note: 1 in ?? is number of completions.
Edit 2:
Some of you like this idea, others have suggested maybe increase completions to something more realistic to what Bungie would do.
These were only suggestions, I would like to see Bungie use this model so we didn’t have to rely so much on RNG.
Edit 3:
IT KEEPS HAPPENING!!! BUNGIE FOR EVERYTHING HOLY PLEASE MAKE THE REWARDS FOR MAKING PUBLIC EVENTS HEROIC WORTH IT AGAIN!!!

1 ReplyYes, please. I enjoy doing PE’s and now they’re worthless except completing bounties and such.😢

Edited by KingJules: 10/9/2018 6:56:44 PMNo it should be: 5 legendarys 2 exotics No blues whatsoever cause those are $&@& 10 masterwork cores 100 legendary shards An exotic sparrow An exotic ghost shell An exotic ship An apology from Bungie for removing all the loot. [spoiler]this is a joke[/spoiler]

UPVOTING UPVOTE

I got a legendary from a normal PE, I’ve never got one from a heroic before.
-
For me, i just want to get my bounties done. I dont care about the rewards. That being said, if they did incentivize Heroics with a good chance at Prime Engrams or Exotics, i would take the extra time to do the Heroic. This only applies to the ones that take longer to do. If its just a matter of blowing out vents or destroying a Thresher, then yeah im going to do it.

3 RepliesThey even nerfed XP from pubs n didn't say a word, as per. Normal was 1000 do, it's now 500. Heroic was 2500 (3500 in season 1), it's now 750! They've totally screwed levelling new characters now, patrols no longer unlock via Cayde quest at lvl 11, the unlock when you reach spider at lvl 36. Strikes are now minimum 300 power, so lvl 30+, but you get a quest from zavalla at lvl 11 to run 2 strikes. This leaves crucible, n the XP rewards are god awful. You constantly get out levelled running story n it takes FOREVER to catch up with the only 2 options, pubs n PvP. Prob done to force people into buying character boosts at £25 a pop

1 Replyhonestly, public events should not drop exotics at all. they are pretty much the lowest tier activity in the game. they are really only useful for the Flashpoint and gearing up as a low level guardian. or, scale pe's based on the level of the area you are in, for example, edz the lowest and dreaming city being the highest. exotics would have a very low chance of dropping at the highest tier area and no chance at the lowest. idk, just rambling here
-
Exotics should have zero chance to drop from non-heroics, also, heroics should drop only 1 blue, a legendary shard, two gunsmith materials, some planetary mats, and glimmer. With the chance of a legendary and small chance of an exotic. Non heroics awards what we get now.
-
The only reason I really care about making events go Heroic is for those few I have left on the Mercury Triumph and the absolute FACT that (if done properly) the Blight events complete quicker if you get them Heroic in the first phase. If I'm running around and see some low level players near a PE about to start, I'll try and get it Heroic if at all possible. I'm still of the mindset that they just [i]might[/i] get something nice out of the event. *shrugs*
-
Bump....like your idea.
-
Destiny one right now gives better public event rewards.
-
1 ReplyAbout the edit: It's a pretty nice little bump to the current loots (borderline zero rewards) but I think there is no way Bungie will give you 1/100 exotic rare that is just wayyyy too high for how it's been for exotics in forsaken. Perhaps double that 1/200 for normal and 1 in 150-175 for heroics because, lets be honest, most heroics triggering takes no real efforts thus they shouldnt really provide such a drastic increase in exotic drop rates (the exception being the new ether harvest that requires you to shoot ALL the flying there before disappear without missing on). As for masterwork core. I believe they're doing something about it soon like renaming it etc
-
I wouldn't say worthless to make them heroic, some of the new lore is locked behind heroic completions. They are randomly given to you after a heroic clear. There's also the Triumph points for heroics on each planet an clearing heroic in general. There is also the emblem that tracks your heroic clears which you only get after doing heroics. The rewards might be useless still sure, but clearing them as heroic isn't useless. Plus heroics tend to spawn more enemies if you looking for quick clusters to kill enemies

1 Replyyet to meet anyone that got a forsaken exotic from a public event its all shite
-
I know how, I just don't care about public events anymore.
-
I have done well more than 50 public events in Forsaken and haven’t ever seen an exotic drop.
-
That was something I posted about a while back when someone was complaining that people didn't know how to make the blight heroic. I said are you sure they simply are not bothering with it as it has no value to them. They are doing a bounty and getting a couple events done and moving on. The endless valueless grind in Forsaken has lead everyone to just rush everything as you have to work an eight hour shift in the game now to advance at all.
-
I only make heroic when it is a bounty. It's just not worth it otherwise.
-
6 RepliesThat or they could make the things fun to play to begin with to get players playing. Generally design with all players in mind. Make the event drop a chest once normal is completed so players that don't care about anything else can leave. Also make it to where you can trigger the heroic without worrying about others completing it to prevent that. It's all just crap design at the end of the day.
-
2 RepliesThe rewards are not worth the effort. Right now 2 tokens and a blue would be better.
-
2 RepliesActually, I’ve had more than a few times where killing the big guy from the cryo pod got me a prime engram, but freezing him and turning it heroic didn’t because you never actually take him out. I almost feel my reward chances are better just finishing him off... My opinion only, of course...
-
1 ReplyIt's not worth the extra efforts even sometimes it's super easy. The only time I intentionally trigger heroics is for bounties like in the dreaming city. Plus a lot of people running around in the dreaming city still have no idea how to trigger the ether supply (they don't shoot the ether at all)
-
Yup, totally pointless now, unless it's for fun, which the new events aren't on heroic
-
2 RepliesThere should be a small chance for legendaries, exotics and masterwork cores. I really like the heroic system but it’s beyond useless at the moment.
-
Yep. Some ain't really worth the extra time. :(
