[b]What is it?[/b] "The Expo" is an in-game time limited event, such as "The Iron Banner", which drops periodically and is available only to level 40 players. It consists of a weapon foundry showcase in the same area as were Lord Saladin appears, where each one of the game's foundries will have their own gear stand, and in each one of these, their own foundry representative to interact with. [b]Which foundries participate in this event?[/b] The foundries which have their own weapon stands in the event will be all known game foundries: [b]- Cassoid[/b] (may not appear) [b]- Crux/Lomar [/b](must appear) [b]- Daito[/b] (may not appear) [b]- Häkke[/b] (must appear) [b]- Nadir [/b](may not appear) [b]- Omolon[/b] (must appear) [b]- SUROS[/b] (must appear) [b]- Tex Mechanica[/b] (must appear) [b]What will the foundries have to offer?[/b] Each foundry will offer 4 legendary weapons to buy, being the type of these specific to each foundry's area of expertise. For example, SUROS will sell Auto Rifles, Scout Rifles, Pulse Rifles and Rocket Launchers; Omolon will sell Scout Rifles, Fusion Rifles, Sniper Rifles and Hand Cannons; Häkke will sell Auto Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Shotguns and Sniper Rifles; Crux/Lomar will sell Machine Guns and Rocket Launches; Tex Mechanica will sell Hand Cannons and Shotguns (of course this is up for modifications based on players ideas). [b]How do I get foundry specific weapons?[/b] Each faction gives you the possibility to support them in the PvP event that comes along with The Expo. You can only support one faction at a time (exactly like the factions system) and just one through the whole event (you can choose another in the next event). Each foundry representative has (apart from the 4 legendary weapons) in stock, specific bounties which help you rank up in said foundry and some legendary items (like class specific gear [bonds, marks and cloaks], shaders and emblems) which grant a foundry XP bonus to the character wearing them (exactly like the Iron Banner). As you reach new foundry levels, you unlock the ability to purchase weapons and gear with marks and glimmer respectively. There will be no packages as you rank up. [b]Will there be any special rewards?[/b] Upon reaching rank five with any foundry (maximun rank possible), an exotic bounty will be available for completion. This will grant you with the best of best of said foundry, a new and unseen exotic weapon (the type of it will be left discussion). The leveling up within each foundry should be really hard, a real challenge for guardians to prove themselves. The same will happen with the exotic bounty, it should have extremely difficult objetives to complete (of course, all of these objetives will be done within the PvP event, there is no PvE element in this). There will be a sort of balance in the exotic perks for all foundry exotics (meaning every exotic has it good and bad things) to avoid players choosing to support only one faction due to it's exotic reward. The same will happen with the legendaries. [b]How will the PvP event be like?[/b] The event will be foundry against foundry, meaning we will have 12 players, 6 representing one foundry and 6 representing another. The game type should vary each day, so that the event doesn't become way too repetitive. You will be able to aquire foundry weapons from RNG, aswell as foundry ships (from your foundry only), but the drop rate will be minimal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well guys, this (at least in my head) seems like an awesome idea. We need more events like Iron Banner to get more diversity and fun into this awesome game. I'm open to any sugestions and critics you may have and I will edit this if I spot any cool ideas from you guys. Please Bungie, make this thing real, it would be awesome to see what you can come up for each foundry (apart from what already is at the gunsmith), specially the exotics. Edit: so basically in the comments some of you made clear that you wanted this to be a PvE event. How could we do this? Or maybe both PvP AND PvE? Please comment below.
