I remember Bungie apologizing for the Queen's Wrath and the Iron Banner a few weeks back and some people were complaining about it in the forums, and so I was curious what exactly people didn't like. I personally really liked the Queen's Wrath. I tend to play sniper characters in FPS games and so it gave me a shot and reason to practice head shots with my hand cannons, scout rifles and snipers. It was a good chance to try epic missions with the different modifiers that weren't as hard as the nightfall, and you could actually solo these missions. I now have a legendary sniper of every color and I scrapped gear until I had legendaries that actually had stats and abilities that I wanted (as opposed to just having to settle for whatever randomly drops or what the vanguard vender sells). At the end of the event you get to buy the Crown of the Sovereign (emblem) and Prism Dancer (shader), which in my opinion are the only two vanity items in the game that are actually worth anything (with the exception of the level 3 Iron Banner stuff). Things I didn't like about the Queen's Wrath: -You needed to do about 13 days worth of missions to actually reach level 3 (I personally think a little more leeway on this would have been better, so maybe 11 or 12 days worth of missions, that way you can skip the ones you knew would take a very long time ie: 15 sniper headshot kills/20 scout headshot kills in PvP) -You had to do PvP with the most underpowered weapons (I know they buffed the scout and so it would probably be easier now, but back then you needed 6 to 8 shots to actually kill someone and it only counted as a headshot kill if the last one was a headshot) - The gear you could buy once you were level 3 was too underpowered for the amount of work you had to put in to reach level 3 (to be honest I would liked to have seen 1 exotic scout or sniper that you could buy once you were level 3 instead of those 5 rare items. Of course they would have to make it so that you can buy only 1 with each level 3 character) -For such a large scale event there really was not context for why you were doing anything. (Maybe a better way for Bungie to do the event would be to have the queen's emissary give out the missions and instead of doing 6 generic bounties, have the emissary give out one at a time that has some sort of scripted plot. So for example: Bounty 1: The queen fears spies have stolen important documents. Kill fallen deserters until you reveal who has them! -Kill 100 fallen on any planet (On the 100th kill they drop an item that you pick up and bring back to the emissary) Bounty 2: Rouge guardians worked with the traitors to steal the defense plans. Kill guardians in the crucible until you find out the truth, but be careful not to damage the plans. -Kill 20 guardians in the crucible with scout rifle head shots (on the 20th kill you get a little pop-up that says found traitor's journal) Bounty 3: Draxis Winter Kell is behind the plot to usurp the queen. Take him and everyone close to him out. Let Draxis serve as the example of anyone who defies the queen and you'll be handsomely rewarded. -Complete the 'Scourge of Winter' mission with the Queen's Wrath modifier active. (For this a special mission will appear and you can do it at level 24 epic, level 26 epic or level 28 epic. When you complete this bounty you will get a choice of one of three random legendary items from the emissary. Each level will give you progressively more rep. If you finish the level on 26, you can break down the gear/weapon for 1 ascendant material and if you finish on 28 you can break it down for 2 ascendant materials but otherwise there is no difference in the legendary gear you receive.) Bounty 1: Forces on the Earth are staging an invasion of the reef, kill their leaders and break their will. -Complete 3 'Eliminate the Target' patrol missions on Earth Bounty 2: The queen needs an elite sniper team for a secret mission. Prove you're worthy of her trust. -Kill 15 guardians in the crucible with sniper rifle head shots (to be honest I'd be fine if they just threw away the PvP stuff). Bounty 3: End this. Take down the Fallen house of devils. Assassinate Sepiks Prime. The reef must be protected and the queen always shows benevolence to those that deftly carry out her will -Complete 'The Devil's Lair' strike on Earth with the Queen's Wrath modifier active. (This strike could be set up like the story missions, but there would be match making for level 24, but you would need a fire team for level 26 and 28) Granted they would need 28 of these scenarios if they wanted to do a full 2 weeks, but they could probably get away with having 14 and just recycling them during the second week. These are just a couple of suggestions. If you have any of your own, please leave them here.
