Queen Bounties
Yes Bungie, it has been so long that the average guardian doesn't even know what we are referring to.
For those of you that haven't been playing since launch. The Queen Bounties, are those "favours" that The Queen & Prince hint about during your second encounter in the reef. These bounties were based on killing The Fallen in various ways from head shots to walkers and upon completion granted the guardian a token per bounty, those token would give you special Queen Gear when you finished a Queen Mission. It sounds more complicated than it is, bear with me.
The reason these activities were mothballed was due to the limited amount of specific gear pieces, guardians would dismantle their gear surpluses to the tune of 20 ascendant materials per day. With ascendant materials being the major currency for Destiny at the time it wasn't long before the DevTeam removed the ascendant materials from the equation making scrapping Queen items as useful as scrapping Murmurs. I still have The Supremacy (Queen Sniper) to this day!
My argument is this...
Seeing as ascendant materials are now a dime a dozen. What is keeping Queen Bounties under wraps?
And
With the Queen Raid just around the corner, would Queen Bounties not be the best possible precursor to upcoming events?
Bungie, some of us can still recall the mockery that was the first Iron Banner. LOL. Why have you not worked out a way for QB's to make a triumphant return to The Tower? Or like the Gjallarhorn, were the QB's a gift presented only to the very first of us, never to return?

Welcome I didn't think I would miss the Queen's Emissary so much, hope to see her cute blue skinned ass in the tower before the beginning of summer.

It would be the same things you've killed a million times already just a different description in the bounty box......lets not kid ourselves. ....we do need a new pve event. ..but it should be something new a fresh

2 RepliesOh shit. Queens wrath was against fallen, fallen are in the next raid dlc, eris was the "vendor" for Crota dlc, queens banner could be same kind of thing for the new raid! (Except more missions and strikes hopefully)

7 RepliesYes! I actually enjoyed doing queens bounties. Also, I want rosegold!!

2 RepliesAre you seriously asking for an event where we get bounties to kill X number of [i]the same boring-ass enemies we've been killing for months...and months...and months[/i]? Now, don't get me wrong, we [i]need[/i] another PvE event, but recycled bounties with newish rewards? F u c k that.

Edited by LaMort13: 2/21/2015 9:37:59 AMThe Queen's Wrath bounties themselves were pretty awful. 500 headshots? 5(?) Fallen Walker kills? They were all pretty tedious. The rewards weren't much better, which is why people dismantled them, which is why Bungie pulled the plug. I too would like to see the Queen's Wrath event return, but it needs a serious overhaul before it comes back. Better bounties, better rewards, and it wouldn't hurt to have some more variety in the bounties. I'm sick of the "kill X number of Y enemies " bounties. Make it something interesting, like "Complete a Public Event using nothing but your melee and abilities." Or "Defeat 5 majors or elites using only grenades. Death resets your progress." Anything new would be great.

1 ReplyFound out that the queens wrath will return with the HoW DLC.

1 ReplyThe Queen emissary will probably be the new Eris for the HoW DLC. Or maybe will return with some tweaks around the HoW release. I don't know but anything would be better than another Iron Banner.

1 ReplyThe Supremacy is my favorite arc sniper also. Just cant seem to break it down for nothing.

1 Replyi have rosegold the crest and the helmet is equipped right now :D

1 ReplyI've seen more than a few people equipped with one of the Queen's shader, emblem or having the odd Queen Legendary weapon peppered in out there. So I don't see why Queen's Wrath can't return Ascendant Materials is in surplus now with countless raiding, Daily heroics, and public events having come and gone, the only reason a Queen's Weapon would get dismantled now would because of bad perks, they aren't level 31 or 32, or simply not enough space in our vaults.

2 RepliesMaybe it will come back for house if wolves

2 RepliesI have been thinking the same thing for a long time now. When the Queen first came with her bounties I was really impressed with Desitny. I though, "finally a game that doesn't cater to the PvP crowd" The queens bounties were a way to get to the highest lvl without having to do the Iron Banner. Since a lot of people out there don't have groups of 6 people to do the raid every week, the Queen's Bounties are a fair way for them to get closer to the highest lvl. And for those who might be less skilled, it was an easier way to reach the same lvl. I always try to help out people who don't have a clue what to do in Destiny and might not be as skilled as some, so why doesn't Bungie do the same? Those same people can't earn points in the Iron Banner, and a lot of us HATE PvP anyway. Bring back the Queen's Bounties and give everyone a fair chance. And at the same time, give us PvE people something different to do.

1 ReplyI would love to see this but because House of Wolves will be her story they probably won't because it will get rolled into that DLC.

1 ReplyA couple updates ago they added a few bounties with the Queen icon into the game, with targets from HoW missions. Likely permanently mothballed and just going to use those as that DLCs version of Eris, sadly
