Please fix Mars Flashpoint in the future.
I have no problems doing Flashpoint in a planet with 2 public events + lost sectors. I actually like that the public events are faster to do in heroic because I like doing fewer of them.
However, on Mars, an active escalation protocol completely prevents you from doing a public event in that location. So you Warp in to rally to the flag and there's no flag, just 2-3 guardians doing an escalation protocol that the game drags you into as soon as you touch the dirt basically.
It's especially obnoxious when you're in a lobby with one going on and you warp to the other end and there's one there too. Now you have 2 escalation protocols blocking you from doing public events.
I like escalation protocols, but if my friends and I just wanna get in a quick Flashpoint before bed, we're not looking to do 7 levels of escalation protocol to do it.
I have no idea how something like this gets fixed because escalation protocol takes up the entire area, but it shouldn't take twice as long to complete the same activity in Mars as it does on Titan.
Thanks for listening.

1 ReplyHad a moron activate an EP 5 seconds before a public event started... FML

2 RepliesAs mentioned below the real issue is that EP doesn’t count towards the flashpoint completion. A total waste. Every wave should count 10% that way a full completion would put you at 70% for your time investment.

Add old mars areas to current areas. Bam.

4 RepliesThe real issue here is no-one cares about anothers time when it comes to activities in the public space. It is annoying that EP is always activated by someone who is solo just because. A solution could be that they separate EP from the public space and make it available in the directory, thus when activated you are in your own Mars space, such as a raid, and make it matchmaking up to 9 guardians.

3 RepliesI have never had EP inhibit me from doing a quick Flashpoint. Usually I do the Heroic Adventure and knock out enough Lost Sectors to finish it before a Public Event even drops a rally flag. Even if, Flashpoint is a weekly challenge. It can be done quickly, but that doesnt mean Bungie intends for it to be done quickly.

4 Replieswhy are you even doing flashpoints ?

2 RepliesEdited by Lull9: 8/11/2019 9:50:56 PMI really wish they would make it cost resonant stems or something to start an EP event. I'm so sick of Mars 24/7 being trashcans constantly starting tier I and then leaving after the first wave of thralls. It isn't even that great of a farm. You can go do Core Terminus lost sector which is just as good and is a private instance.

Happens to me all the time. I think EP waves should give FP progress, then it wouldn't matter.

This is a bit of a problem. why don't you treat it like a toggle switch when you turn EP on in one sector it turns off the ability to start it in the other sector. This allows a public event and an EP to happen at the same time one in each sector simultaneously. This seems like a simple solution but i don't know the issues involved to implement the fix. Thanks for listening

This is why we should have the old locations still present. No EP there.

4 RepliesEdited by Wicked_Winnie: 8/12/2019 1:29:01 AMSpeaking of Mars... Bungie can you please f'king fix the sleeper nodes? 2 years later and I still don't have all my sleeper nodes. I just need 2 more but all I get is dupes of shit I already did. FIX THIS!

It's astonishing that Bungie made the pinnacle activity on mars not count for anything towards the flashpoint. The weed they're smoking has to be laced with something that permanently kills their brain cells.

3 RepliesI used to care about this. Now I just go in and do the Heroic and a few Lost Sectors. A few days ago I landed and saw a flag under the bridge. Nobody was around and I grabbed the flag. About 15 seconds before the PE fired up some jack wagon came in, started up EP, hopped on his Sparrow and rode away. Didn't surprise me at all. I see that happen quite often. Already had Flashpoint completed anyway. Sure, you can run the first wave of EP then hit the PE. Shouldn't be necessary though. Those are the same people who will absolutely shred a Walker before you can turn it Heroic. Sad, sad children. They must have extremely low self esteem to have to mess up others entertainment just to make themselves feel big.

After spending 5 minutes on Mars during FlashPoint week, Bungie testers should have said, "this will never work" - let alone the original Morons that designed it this way. And they could easily have moved EP into that area near Dynamo Approach to make it separate but easily accessible. Or as other people suggested, give us ~ 10% to 15% per round for completing each wave successfully.
-
I think it's correctable by allowing both PE and EP to occur at the same time just not in the same area that the PE is taking place. There are several EP locations in the two zones they can occur at and each EP level can randomly occur in any of those locations. Just need to remove the combination of EP and PE together which I also thought wasn't a good idea because if can't activate the Heroic version along with completing it before killing EP level boss then lose level progress. I doubt Bungie will get around this is long time issue any time soon as it's low on their priority since it's old content.
-
2 Replieswhen a Public Event is set to go active, EP will automatically incorporate it into the next wave. If the current wave fails, the PE will immediately start once EP ends. It's always that way in my experience, though it's never explained anywhere and you just kind of have to figure it out for yourself.
-
Try reloading into the area, you might get an instance where people are doing the public event.

5 RepliesTerrible design. Bungle needs to find a different VPK to utilize for their programming.
-
I want all future flashpoint’s to be restricted to the EDZ ........ I really don’t like mars anymore because of that stupid escalation protocol garbage
-
2 RepliesCan’t get fixed, because Bungie can only create content that brings conflict b/w players. Making content is so hard for them that they work on extending time wasted to give the illusion of mass. It’s unfortunately not working anymore anyway. No one is fool.

Stupid ass EP.

AbsolutZeroGI You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but, Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

Fix everything with more key fragments!!!

yeah I usually just skip the flashpoints on mercury and mars because of this.
