IDEA: Planetary Alignment Plublic Events

Hey guys, After watching DestinyUpdates' new video "Destiny News - New Guns, Alternate E3 Trailer, Planets", and seeing the planets rotate/"move" around the solar system, I came up with the following idea: If possible, wouldn't it be awesome if they implemented a "Planetary Alignment Event"? If the planets are on a constant rotation, they could have all of the planets become aligned "once every blue moon"(cwatididthere). This would have to be extremely rare and happen at least once every 2-3 months. When this event happens, there could be a giant public event (like the one in the E3 stage demo) with an epic boss battle where the boss would be something we have never seen before and would be so hard, it would take around an hour for 15+ people to take him down. The prize would be extremely rare loot only attainable through this event. It would vary between armor pieces, guns, etc. The only way to "predict" when said event will happen is to solve mysteries in game, search for clues, etc. (just brainstorming here). The event would happen in random places and on different planets randomly. You would have to either be in the right place at the right time or predict and know where and when the next event will take place. And if your on a planet with a view of the moon, the moon could turn bright blue (in reference to the old saying "Once in a blue moon.") indicating that the event is about to happen and would stay blue until the "boss" has been defeated. Then the moon could turn blood red and fade back to normal after about 5 minutes. And, just to add it in, you cannot join last minute just to collect the loot. You would have to do at least a certain amount of damage % in order to collect the prize. Without this, you would players just standing around not doing anything except for just waiting for the prize drop. It could have something like a 5 minute grace period for people to join and once the 5 minutes are up, the battle begins whether your ready or not. So, that's my idea. What do you guys think? Thanks! xFonze

  • If anyone has played runescape it could be like (I forget the name) meteors that fall at random places but could be predicted by using a telescope 5 mins before.

      • If you want to wait for a planetary alignment, it will take thousands of years.

              • Yeah would be cool, maybe something that has to do with the other alien species (which everybody seems to be forgetting these days) that should be also the most dangerous. Even unusual enemies public events like: Venus traveling in front of the sun. Vex spawning on Earth for a limited time (doesn't seem like that's the kind of enemy we could normally find on earth). Or a particular race gets stronger for a limited period when something particular happens, and gives more xp. And things like that.

                • Friggin Lunar eclipse event unlocks lunar eclipse armour and cape if you can beat the boss. There is a 1% drop rate! Ahhh thats awesome.

                    Thanks for the replies peeps! EDIT: Sorry for the mindless bump. I'm still trying to figure out this new forum. :/ Hadn't been on Bungie.net since the Halo: Reach days. Lol

                  • Nice, could be a 2x XP event :) for example an invasion ship of another race coming into our solar system -> space fights & ground fights

I just don't think the damage rule should be used, as Bungie is trying to make it so that level shouldn't mean too much, and you can be helpful no matter what weapons you have and what damage they deal. Also, if the boss is going to be epic, there should be a closeout time rather than lockout time. Anyone should be able to join until the boss is down to a certain percentage. This allows weaker players to try and keep the smaller targets busy while the heavy hitters take on Galactus :)

                      • What's not to like. I think your idea, or one like it, is a great idea. Public events are by far the most interesting and exciting part of the game for me. I hope there are all kinds of public events that let players work together and fight against each other.
