Public Events less than worthless

[b]GO VOTE NOW:[/b] [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/251701032/0/0[/url] 610 Glimmer and 3 Resources for completing a Heroic Public Event. Remember when we used to grind these in hopes of exotics back in season 1 and 2? Now it's almost better to ignore them and go shoot three enemies and pick up a chest on the way. You'll get the same stuff from both I guess. Destiny 1 public events where scarce and rewarding at any level. It showed up and everyone nearby panicked to get there in time! --- Edit: So, yeah, I over exaggerated the D1 public events. Sorry. But my point still stands. Edit 2: Top post on trending! Hopefully we get a dev response. Edit 3: Guess I have to point this out. I never once said that public events should be giving out powerful or endgame rewards. But look, if you're happy with 600 glimmer and a slap on the ass every time you do one of these, and that's it, then this isn't the post for you.

  • Heroic completions should drop an enhancement core. This would make them relevant again and solve the core issue as people could grind away and cap it at say eight a day.

    • The real "event" is fighting blueberries to start the Heroic event before they end the normal version. Otherwise, I agree. I'd like a re-working of some aspect of the events.

      • That is very true. They are just a part of the grind, which is no fun at all.

        • Its true, i think most of the public events are pretty cool but your right. There isnt any need to do them unless they are making you do them as part of a quest but they become a point of frustration becuase they get you to do a specific one that is more scarce than any other public event. it would be nice to say lets go and farm public events knowing you can get something cool after a certain amount or it gives you points so you can unlock a chest in the tower.

          • Maybe they can add another layer onto the Heroic Public Events so you can turn them "Super Heroic". And with that you can have a chance to get gear/exotics exclusive to Super Heroic Public Events. Make it somewhat rare though - like, legendary gear/weapons odds 1:5 completions and exotics 1:25 or something.

            • The only good thing about Public events is the Flag - so you can get your Super up or Load up on Ammo.

              • I remember at the Cosmodrome when the Taken Champion and Fallen Walker would spawn next to each other. That was a show for sure. Taken Champions with a 3oC active had the chance at dropping an exotic, which made them doing them worth it.

                • They are worthless. That's why you have to do 4 of them (heroic) just to get a powerful engram. It's fine how it is.

                • The heroic should drop at the least one legendary.

                • A while back once everyone was 350+ and public events had become far too easy with 3+ people, I was thinking they should add a Prestige level to Public Events. They could make it so that it depends on some extra mechanic that needs to be done to activate it but I was thinking far more simply that it activates based on the number of people participating alone. If you have a public event with say, 4+ active players, when the Heroic event is triggered, instead of it becoming Heroic, it becomes Prestige. When an event becomes Prestige, instead of spawning just one boss to kill, it spawns, let's say, 4 of them, and a crap-ton of extra enemies. Bungie could even design this so that the # of bosses+enemies spawned scales with the # of participants, because lets say you have a maxed out lobby with 9 people in it, 4 bosses and some extra enemies isn't going to be as hard. So, you set thresholds where 4 participants = 4 bosses, 7 = 7 bosses, 9 = 10 bosses, etc...something like that. A relatively simple change that can spice up the Public Events...and they can improve the loot-pool with it as well. A completion of a Prestige public event should obviously grant better rewards.

                • I agree, but also I think if you are able to get exotics from public events it shouldn't be powerful and also every time you do a public event and don't get an exotic, it should scale up until it's guaranteed to get one. But the scale should be very low after you do 100 public events you should be guaranteed to get an exotic.

                  Vanilla D2 used to drop 2-3 exotics from every 10 heroic public events and you hit max level in a couple of hours after a DLC. Good or bad, you decide.

                    Completing Heroic Public Events should at least reward you a guaranteed Legendary piece of gear, 10-15 Legends shards, or 1-3 Enhancement Cores. It sucks that they don't really give you anything better than what you get for completing a regular Public Event. They don't really even give you a higher number of planetary materials anymore.

                    • I remember I use to farm public events just for exotics. Most of my exotics were from public events lol... back then rng was a bit too generous, now they gone and -blam!-ed it... exotics are hard to come by now, I’m not complaining just saying they need to tweak it a bit so it’s not so hard. They should implement a third stage to public events, a stage after heroic, something more intense and full on... Call it something like prestige public event and at this stage you have a higher chance of an exotic or if you don’t get an exotic you gain a exotic drop buff which stacks until you get one.

                    • To be honest there is no challenge in doing them I wish we could trigger them Mythic, have greater challenge and better rewards.

                    • So what do people really expect from a public event? You can't just have a load of rewards for doing a world event, far to common and easy.

                      • Yeah, they are pretty much worthless. It's unfortunate, because I like public events. They are fun. [quote]Destiny 1 public events where scarce and rewarding at any level. [/quote] I loved those events. They were somewhat rare, fairly difficult and had great rewards.
