Escalation Protocol-like activity in the Infinite Forest!
Event Trigger: In regular Mercury Patrol, enter the Infinite Forest. Activity scales at the start of each Round to match the number of players who are taking part. Should anyone leave mid-way through a round, the activity's difficulty will re-scale itself early to prevent players being stranded in an activity they simply cannot complete because someone ditched them.
Enemy Faction: Random (decided at the start of the activity, could be different next time around).
Typical Round: A short trek through the Infinite Forest, possibly some objectives thrown in (disarm mines, kill VIP target, disable shadow rifts, etc.), followed by a boss after entering the portal at the other end.
Players who join late will enter at the last portal the frontrunner went through (e.g. If the party is progressing through the Forest between bosses, new players will be placed at the beginning of that section of Forest. If the party is in a boss battle, new players will be plunged straight into the fight.).
Seven Rounds. After the boss of Round Six, the players present are immediately taken to the Final Boss for the event. Final Boss depends on what Faction the players are fighting against.
Hive Bosses:
* Crota
* Golgoroth
* Warpriest
** Oryx
* Xol
** Appears ONLY when Hive are replaced with Taken.
Vex Bosses:
* Sol Progeny
* Templar
* Atheon
* Panoptes
* Argos
Fallen Bosses:
* Skolas
* Taniks
** Vosik
** Aksis
** = Appear ONLY when Fallen are the SIVA kind.
Cabal Bosses:
* Valus Ta'aurc
* Ghaul
* Calus
* Val Ca’uor
The boss encounters will be designed to be somewhat reminiscent of their original encounters, with some of them being simplified so as to maintain the flow usually associated with public events.
The loot that drops from the final boss depends on where it's from. If it's from a Destiny 1 Raid, it'll drop an armor piece from that Raid, with the Age of Triumph Ornaments being unlockable Extras, and sometimes a weapon. If it's from a Destiny 2 Raid, it'll drop Raid Tokens instead of Raid gear (for obvious reasons). Not sure what to do for non-raid bosses like Xol or Ghaul though.
In any case, I just think it would be cool to be able to do remixed fights with old bosses, and the Infinite Forest is the perfect place to do it.
