I just failed a public event on earth. As a level 31, I could not kill a level 5 Captain target. Exhausted all of my ammo in all 3 guns. Full Fatebringer clip would only just get though his shields and then they would regen while I was reloading.
Does this strike anyone else as a bit ridiculous?
I'm sure someone is going to respond with "get good" and someone else will talk about the time they solo-killed a target-Captain while masturbating but that can't be avoided here I guess.
I should also point out that I am aware of how the level/damage cap works and I [i]know[/i] it's a "public" event but when there is no "public" (which is most of the time lately, in my experience) then it's silly.
So here's my feedback: Public events should scale so that they are always [i]possible[/i] to win with the number of guardians available. (I'm not asking for them to always be "easy", but [i]possible[/i].) It's frustrating to exhaust all bullets and not get through a shield. If he can't kill me and I can't kill him- seems like a pointless event.

1 RespuestaThe only events I do now is Fallen Walker on The Divide or Anchor of Light, Warsat on Archers Line and Anchor of Light. The rest are are either glitch or not worth the bother. Its the one time in the game you actually want shards and they don't drop most the time.

I'm sorry to be that guy but Jesus man it's a public event, not a solo event.
-
Definitely should scale difficulty depending on how many guardians are linked
-
I have ran into a few of them. I have also noticed in the rocket yard there is usually a blade of CROTA in the area. Kill him take the sword and go to work on the captain, that maybe bungie's objective as to how and fight that enemy. I got bull headed and said I am going to own his a$$, and it worked. Hope this helps!
-
It's fùcking rediculous.
-
I can't kill him unless I use gjallarhorn to bring his health down. Or I have a friend. He gets to his obj in like a minute too which is a little fast compared to other public event kill targets.
-
I've noticed that specific captain sometimes invokes the soul of Randal and gains his amazing magical defensive abilities
-
My combination: Vex or high rate of fire weapon to pull down shield. Shotgun full clip with Found Verdict. Rocket with Hunger of Crota. Work this a couple of rotations at most and you should get him. ...and yes, I can do this alone, but it sure helps to have someone else put fire on him to keep shields down.
-
Were you using appropriate elemental damage to combat his shielding? I had a similar experience against a wizard on moon. Emptied everything I had into her, burned synths, and re-emptied everything into her. Then, with no other option, I pulled out invective. The ammo regen was my last hope. But it turned out to melt her down REALLY quick. Because the solar damage ate her shielding and let me actually harm her.

I've been complaining about scalable public events to my co-op mates for a while now. Since patrols have been so barren, at least in areas not used for bounty crunching, some of the "Eliminate the Target" events are ridiculous. Where was yours? I usually look to see what the target is, and if it's shielded (and I'm alone without something to seriously knock out the shield), I just skip it. Vandal or Knight? Cool. Captain or Wizard? Go -blam!- yourself.

If that was in rocket yard, I know which event you're talking about. His health is fine, but he lags and teleports all the way to his objective. His shield is fine, but it regenerates WAY too fast.
-
and someone else will talk about the time they solo-killed a target-Captain while masturbating I like the way you explained this.

Took 2 of us level 31 yesterday to kill the last shielded reaver of the public event on the moon. Supers, rockets, melee and specials with grenades flying all but bounced off until I unloaded Gjally on him, that didn't kill him outright but held the bigger still long enough to insert lots of bullets

1 RespuestaEditado por Bungolickstaints: 3/1/2015 4:11:38 AM"But dude, shouldn't you be playing with atleast 6 friends at all times? Dumbass, we made this game to be played with friends, not our fault you don't have any. That bitch woulda died in 5 seconds if you did" -Deej, probably For real though, it's been this way from day one. Public events are nearly impossible to solo when they require you to kill a shielded enemy. Bungie knows this. Bungie has known this since day 1. I'm assuming they havnt fixed it because they are retards. But maybe I'm just being harsh

1 RespuestaTarget events on Mars and Venus can be soloed, they don't bug. Earth and moon events (captains and wizards), don't even bother, bug central (infinite shields and map teleports).
-
3 RespuestasLevel management in this game is a joke. In no other game high level character can do so little against low level mobs.
-
Lol. " get good " and " solo-killed that Captain while masturbating". Obviously, you have been on these forums more than once. ;)

2 Respuestasi feel u man. the other day i was on mars and the event where you had to kill a centurion came up. so naturally im like ok lets do this. I WASTED 12 HUNGER OF CROTA ROCKETS ON HIM AND HE WOULD NOTGO DOWN!!! I USED MY CRASH SHOTGUN THATS FULL AUTO AND WASTED ALL THE AMMO IN THAT!!! I EVEN USED TTHE VEX MYTHOCLAST AND STILL COULD NOT BRING THAT GUY DOWN!!! btw before you say anything im really good at pve minus the raids which i can't do often because no one is online when i get online. but thats besides the point. whatever strike group im in, about 85-90% of the time i get the most kills out of everyone. also in that mission there were no other guardians around. every time i reloaded his shields went back up and i couldnt even take those out with hunger of crota which is quite amazing because this has never happpened to me before other than yesterday. bungie just make it possible for one guardian to take down. keep it challenging but just a smidge easier would be nice
-
Sad but you sould game with me I can kill a level five captin
-
This is what I do cause this happens to me too, especially when I solo, ok shoot shield off then, melee no matter what and back up a little and shoot him when he smacks you too much, then go back in, or shotgun him
-
1 RespuestaAt least you got through his shield When I did it, he jumped and never came down...
-
Regardless of activity, if you're fighting a "level 5" anything and you're 30+, you should one shot them. This games level system and "power levels" are ridiculous. Visually, looking at the numbers alone, it doesn't make sense. They shouldn't have done it that way. It should not be that much of a bullet sponge. Seriously. Adding in random paths or other things going on for the target, or a literal hide and seek would have been good. But no. They couldn't be -blam!-ed with to have some fun with those types of public events.
-
Lol I think bungie has overestimated guardian population and has yet to compensate for the numbers. Obviously it was expected during development that more than one guardian would be participating at any given time. A gross miscalculation on their part. It's not rare at all to see one guardian trying to hold down a transmat or take out a target on any planet. Clearly they need to address this in whatever new patch we install.
-
Literally the same thing happened to me. I was shocked. I'm 27 levels above this target, and I can't kill it with a maxed Hard Light, Murmur, and Hunger of Crota? What the heck is the point of leveling up then??
