I like public events but currently seeing other players makes public events bit disheartening if you need them heroic
Im not talking about loot here. Also not sure is this common topic, sorry.
So I was going to drifter for some bounties. 'lo and behold there it is again. Heroic public events on X or Y. Oh no. Great, one of them is Tangled shore and other Titan.
Now some of you already know where im getting at. But heres the short of it:
Tangled shore is mostly Prisoner Escapees: pod lands, 2 waves of enemies, Wanted enemy comes out, kill enemy for normal event. How to make it heroic? Shoot 3 vents on side of pod (timed or "when boss hp reaches X" -> "vents hiss" meaning you can shoot them open) and throw 3 cores from them to boss.
It would be great.. but as we know, the boss dies literally under 5 seconds if even ONE person throws their super and unloads their Izanagi/4th horseman/heavy. Which about 80% blueberries do.
So no heroic events on that map I guess. Unless I wanna wait out glimmer extraction.
Titan planet has similiar issues.
Witches ritual? Fine. Good event. No rushing, shoot crystals that "unlock" pretty fast too.
Fallen walker? See prisoner escape above.
Taken blight: Smaller blights die fast, big blight ball takes supers, nades, heavy ammo magazines and still doesnt die. What gives?
As for suggestions: Obviously make boss enemies take more damage. If possible, scale it according to number of guardians on area. Make heroic events trigger faster or easier. For example make vents on prisoner pods take fraction of the damage and make them available to be shot at right away.
Or make blights take about half of the damage they do now.
Some good events:
-Warsat. Simple. Straight-forward. Almost always heroic (if thats bad in your opinion)
-Glimmer extraction. Node is easy to kill and there is no huge pressure.
-Witches ritual. No rushing, crystals easy to kill and "open"
-Cabal lander. Timed capture so there is time to kill the ship.
-Vex crossroads (mercury). Good idea imo, fun.
It feels very much against game to avoid people and hope "no one else comes to do the event" if bounties like these stay in-game :(
If any reader here wonders how to make events heroic. See this amazing infographic: https://i.imgur.com/QoLRa50.jpg

2 RepliesThis is why there is a limit to what you can do in public spaces. Some people don't turn PEs heroic because they dont' know how. Others don't do it because they don't WANT to. Heroic PEs take much longer to complete, and the rewards are not worth the extra time to many players. Also many bounties simply count numbers of PEs...so turning one heroic just makes completing the bounty take longer. This is an issue I put at the feet of Bungie. Bungie isn't making them rewarding enough, so people aren't doing them. Unless its just for the sheer fun of doing the event....but most loot gamers aren't wired that way (even though I am personally).
