"This page is about the Public Events in the Fractures story."

A Public Event is a type of encounter in which several players in the same area can work together to achieve a common goal. Events may occur while on Patrol or within Strike missions.

Public Events are rated after completion based on the Guardians' performance; if time runs out before the objective is met, it is a Bronze-Tier rating. If time runs out but the Guardians manage to almost complete the objective, it is a Silver-Tier rating. If the objective is completed before the timer runs out, is a Gold-Tier rating, if you trigger and complete Heroic version, you get Platinum rating otherwise its Silver rating, the Legend version has a Diamond rating. Participants are rewarded with Rewards instantly.

Schedule

In Fractures as it is a ttrpg setting, Public Events are treated as more difficult random encounters and are also announced a bit before they begin. Once an event is announced, an icon will appear on the map screen for the location, which allows players to find and track the event. If a player arrives at the location before the start of the event, they will find a glowing flag and have the option of rallying to it. Rallying to the Flag gives them a flag rally, and displays the time until the event starts. Successfully completing the event will reward participating players with Loot. Failing an event still yields some loot but does not give Magic items. Additionally, Public Events have a Heroic version that is automatically unlocked once certain objectives are met during the event. The Heroic version increases the difficulty of the event but also increases the value of the rewards upon completion. There is also a Legendary version, this is triggered by completing a specific objective in the Heroic Tier without killing the boss or completing the event. Time to do this Optional objective is limited.

Protocols

While the above-mentioned Public Events start automatically in regular intervals, Protocols have to be started by players.

• Court of Oryx (Fractures) − a series of player-initiated boss battles exclusive to the Hall of Souls in the Dreadnaught.

• Trial of Sesrih - A special public event that acts like Escalation protocol but is exclusively fought in the Festering Hallow.

• Escalation Protocol − In this event, Guardians defend towers against waves of progressively harder enemies. Every wave consists of four phases: 1. Eliminating Hive, 2. Closing 1 - 3 Shadowrifts, 3. Eliminating more Hive and 4. Eliminating a Hive boss. Occasionally one wave consists of a modified Injection Rig-, Witches' Ritual- or Defend the Warsat-Event. In the seventh and final wave, Guardians must face a Hive boss in order to complete the encounter. There are five possible bosses, each rotating on a weekly basis. (location pending)

• Contact - In this event, Guardians deploy a Bank under a Pyramid Scale to collect Motes from incoming enemies, in the same manner as in Gambit, through four tiers. After collecting enough Motes, Taken enemies will attack along with a Champion, which must be defeated to continue to the next tier. During the Mote collection phase, a Champion will appear nearby guarding a Bloom, which can be used to charge the Bank by a substantial amount. Depositing the bloom through all four tiers will activate the Heroic version of the event, where a special boss is fought at the end of the fourth tier. This event rotates on a daily basis between locations.

• Terminal Overload - The Shadow Legion attempts to subvert Veil Facility's Defense array through the use of a special Pyramid array. The Guardians are tasked to stop the Cabal from using this for their gain. Whenever the Vex seize the array it must be protected from the Shadow Legion onslaught while the Vex Minotaur deployed can attempt to sabotage the device, if the Minotaur is destroyed the effort fails and the stage immediately ends but if the Minotaur is protected, then a sabotage is successful but the Shadow Legion steal their array back to attempt a repair. The event has three stages, where several bosses are fought, and changes location daily through the three public areas of Veil Facility. Completing the first two stages rewards normal Public Event loot, but completing the third gives a much better chest, alongside a second chest with targeted loot that can only be opened with a Terminal Overload Key.

Rewards Overview

• Rewards in these encounters as is natural for a TTRPG; they are purely at the discretion of the Architect.

Rewards are organized into 3 tiers based on performance. If you reach Gold tier, you gain Tier 1 rewards. If you get Bronze tier, you get a 4th of the Gold payout. Silver gives you half. If you enter the heroic Silver gives you a 4th, Gold half, and Platinum the tier 2 Reward. Tier 3 follows the same style only with Diamond rating giving the full reward.

• Tier 1
  • 2x Uncommon Magic Item
  • 2d8x100 Gold
• Tier 2
  • 2x Rare Magic Item
  • 2d10x100 Gold
• Tier 3
  • 2x Very Rare Magic Item
  • 2d12x100 Gold

For Protocols, they function differently with each Protocol having its own reward tier system and requirements for the best loot. Supernumerary Blitz on the other hand has no Higher difficulty given its length and difficulty from the getgo, it as a result rewards the best stuff on successful completion and nothing on failure, high risk high reward as it were.
