Not So Public Event (Destiny)
I've not had as much time testing out the Destiny Beta as I would have liked and one area I was hoping to experience more was the public events, the Devil Walker battle in particular.
I had experienced it once by chance when the explore mode first became available but I found that my Guardian wasn't really powerful enough to have any effect on the Walker. So I went on my way and vowed to return.
Upon reading yesterday that the public events happen at set times, and being keen to put my now level 8 Titan and his shiny new armour through his paces I set off to be ready and waiting for when the Devil Walker dropped.
I arrived in the area with around 15 minutes to spare so just killed time laying the smack down on the unfortunate Fallen in the area. I was soon joined by fire-teams, a pair and a trio, as well as another lone wolf like myself and it seemed clear that we were all there for the same thing.
Finally the time was upon us, the clock struck midnight (for me anyway) and the skies of Old Russia darkened as the Fallen ships appeared. Eager for the fight I took a look around to check the position of my fellow Guardians and...
they had all disappeared.
It would seem as though when the public event began the Guardians in the area were split into separate instances of it. Only the split was uneven and I was left to face the walker and its supporting infantry alone. I decided to have at the Walker with my heavy machine gun but I was soon surrounded and overpowered and a life was soon lost. Upon resurrection I decided to turn cowardly custard and fled. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to complete this public event tonight, before the end of the Beta.
Has anyone else had a similar experience at the beginning of a public event?
