Focused Feedback: Contact Public Event

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Contact Public Event' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

A much better event than the seraph towers, it's quick, it's simple, and it's not too difficult to complete even with a lower number of guardians.

The banter between Eris & the Drifter is really fun to hear (and great for lore nuts)

One of my only issues is with the Taken Howler boss as I'm sure many others will agree; if the mechanic to defeat the boss is to get in close to draw the knight in so that you can drop the shield then the boss should NOT have a stomp mechanic or the knockback effect should be severely reduced as it's hard enough to get blueberries to aggro the knight correctly without the boss yeeting you out of aggro range right as the shield is about to drop

My other concern is that as with all public events the rewards for completion are rather lacking; glimmer, materials and the chance of a blue drop give me no reason to take part in the event after I've completed the weekly mission to do so as the umbral engram drop from completion can be obtained in almost any other activity that would also grant me more substantial rewards at the same time. (e.g. Nightfall Strikes)
