So there are hundreds of posts on the forums asking for more of a focus on the PvE side of the game, mainly asking for the return of the Queen's Wrath, which for me came so early on that my character wasn't yet a high enough level to fully take part. I agree completely that the Queen's Wrath should come back, but lately I have been thinking of how much more interesting the game would be if we had more PvE events. [b]Overview[/b] One of my ideas was where members of the nine (like Xur) come to the tower every day for nine days, a different one every day. It would end on a Friday with Xur coming with his usual exotics and any end rewards for players who participated, depending on the number of strikes completed in the event. The challenges would be challenge types of the strikes, explained further below. Also, The strikes will be refreshing, new and challenging with new mechanics, not 'grindy' or boring like the strike playlist can be. Each member of the nine could bring a different challenge with them, each with lore as to how they became enemies with each boss. This would not include Xur, as there are 8 strikes currently in the game for PS4, X-Box users might have to get a couple of repeats, which I think is dumb and unfair but Bungie were obligated to make more strikes for Sony. [b]Challenges[/b] The strikes would not be available straight away either, like the Queens kill orders, probably with 1-2 quick Eris like quest line missions before unlocking the Strike. Expect each strike to be Hard, taking players at least 30 mins, probably close to 45 mins. The challenges would be challenge types of the strikes, with an added mini-boss and game mechanics (imagine having to fight a level 30 Sepiks with no special or heavy weapons!). Each challenge would also include an additional Mini-Boss, and would be oozing with new lore and cutscenes. Also I think it would be cool to meet the rest of the nine. I may add a link to the Nine characters/Challenge ideas later in an edit, but that will be another post. This is just an 'idea' post. [b]Rewards[/b] The strikes would reward one piece of exclusive armor for your chosen class and one exclusive weapon, taking away the need to grind for rep and glimmer to be able to buy items. The reward would show up at the tower, where you would go to the member of the nine, and pick up your weapon and armor, and also be rewarded with cutscenes showing how the nine made their enemies. This would also give them a job as vendors other than just to look cool (which is basically all the gunsmith dies now). There would be a few big 10,000 XP bounties but no rep for anything as there is no real rank system. There would be a RNG reward system, but one exclusive weapon and armor is guaranteed, and a checklist would be put in so there are no repeats until the player has received every possible item for that class. They can be repeated for random rewards better than the roc strikes, but worse than the nightfall (so players can't just get exotic rewards 20 times a week). This means that players who do not complete all of the challenges can still get all of the exclusives. It also means that players who repeat the SAME challenge will not be given unlimited radiant mats, but players who complete all of the challenges will get a few dupes that can be dismantled into radiant mats. I may add a link to the weapon/armor ideas later in an edit, but that will be another post. This is just, like I said, and 'idea' post. [b]Ending and final rewards[/b] When Xur finally comes into the tower on the last Friday, he will bring rewards for anyone that completed the nine's challenges. They would go as follows: Every Challenge competed --->3x Radiant Shards or Energy 2 Challenges Completed ----->Shader and Emblem 4 Challenges Completed -----> Ship 6 Challenged Completed ----->Class Item 8 Challenges Completed -----> Sparrow Comment your suggestions and even your own ideas, and feel free to bump each other's ideas if you like them. No hate plz. BTW: I do play PvP and find it very enjoyable despite not ALWAYS doing well, I just think that there has already been a lot of Iron Banner. If you have any good ideas for other PvP events, those are just as welcome! I think and hope that Trials of Osiris will also be coming soon...
