Looking for Destiny public events? This is the resource you need

DestinyPublicEvents.com saves you the guesswork of hunting down Destiny‘s rewarding public events by maintaining a schedule of current and upcoming public events (via Joystiq). The seemingly random group activities that pop up in the game’s open worlds actually happen on a schedule. You can get the information on them from the wikis of the web, but this live tracker is much more convenient.

Upcoming events have a timer counting down until their arrival, are color-coded for rarity, and are sorted by whether they take place on Earth, the Moon, Venus, or Mars. The site has no official affiliation with Bungie or Activision, so the the times are often a bit off, and none of the events are guaranteed, particularly if there are not enough guardians around. The site’s data will only get better over time, though, and thus will its predictive ability.

Public events are good for players of all skill levels to chase. They capture the social play aspect of Destiny really well, and they carry the promise of rare crafting material rewards, which is very helpful for the endgame. However you choose to check the schedule, you should get on the public events train sooner rather than later.

Good hunting, Guardians!

The Witch Queen made me a healthier Destiny 2 player

Hive Guardians created by the Witch Queen Savathun

I used to be what you might call a Destiny addict. Back in the mid-2010s, I was all-in on the first Destiny game, practically playing it daily. I had a dedicated crew I ran raids with, chased the highest-level gear I could find, and competed in the Crucible like it was a job. I clocked over 400 hours playing the game over the course of a few years, and when Destiny 2 came out in 2017, I started on that same path.

But life changed. My free time became more scarce as I got older and the idea of spending all my time on one game became unrealistic. I had other things I wanted to play and it no longer made sense to keep up with an MMO where the grind was always climbing. I still checked out every major expansion, playing through any new story content, but I began to feel like I wasn’t getting a fulfilling experience if I ignored the grind.
