Public events have become pointless.

Hello all. Is it me or have public events lost all purpose? Here is the thing. They are a community thing meant to be shared for anyone who wants to take part. Myself I thoroughly enjoy them, or shall I say I did when I was lower light level. One point is if you are a lower light level public events can remain fun which is great for new players. On the other hand if you consider how easy the base light level grind is then they're only fun for so long. Secondly higher light level players that come along can easily finish one of these 'boss fights' with one super. This kind of takes a hell of a lot from the little guys. Now in the case of a higher light level player like myself I still like to do them. Especially on the Tangled Shore as I collect ghost fragments for wanted bounties. Anyway if I am slowly chipping away at a public event so as to trigger a heroic public event, all it takes is one other player to come along and just beam the boss and then I miss out. The issue with long term players is they look at a public event as a quick 5 second chest. Pop a super, get a chest. It is literally that easy. Now as a new player I can only assume a lot of these guys dont even know how to trigger heroic public events. Another downfall from being able to shoot them down so easy. Overall I feel there is some major work to be done regarding public events. Even if not priority. Personally I wouldnt mind if there was more to them, even if you just increase the hp of the bosses themselves. Ideally though I think they should be a lot harder. Because theres no real limit to how many can do one we have the potential to really dive in and make it a 'public' effort. If you can solo a current public event then why ever bother doing it with others haha? You only take part for fun or for the loot. Any more than two guardians and you just know it's not going heroic so you may as well do it alone and have fun doing it. In addition the fact a single guardian can solo heroic is a bit silly. I would advise introducing legendary public events, but if we cant even trigger heroics due to bosses getting one shot then we sure as hell wont trigger a legendary. I think what I'm saying is it's a public event. Theres not much public to it at the moment.

  • Most of the game is pretty pointless, except bounties or quests. PVP for instance you get very little glimmer or seasonal xp from completing matches. But yeah it would be nice to have a "destination" rank-up system, where you could earn some upgrade materials or something from public events. Even getting a decent chunk of glimmer would be nice IMO. We went from getting exotic to a single blue.
