The Kill the Target public event is still broken even after 6 months that the game has been out.
The Target appears, and after a short while, it will teleport all the way to end, with no way for the guardians to catch up and complete the event. This seems to happen a lot in Scablands and Hellmouth and I've seen it happen elsewhere as well.
Please remove the teleport ability from the Targets so that the public event can be completed. It's stupid enough already waiting for 5+ minutes for the event to start, and then it can't be completed, wasting 10 minutes of my time. Especially so when the daily bounty requires you to do 3 of them.
Also, Prevent the Sacrifice public event on Venus is broken as well, when an enemy can teleport directly to the conflux and you can't do anything to prevent it. Once a teleport happens, everyone just leaves.
I looked on youtube and found some clips which shows this exact bug:

The solution to your problem is as follows: PLAY BETTER

Vex sacrifices is my favorite public event. If you stray from the conflux they do teleport behind you, but that doesn't mean they can't be taken down. It's wise to save your supers for that, or at least have a Void shotty ready. Btw, popping a polyphage before hand is reason enough to stick around. Those few minutes are pure glimmer. As far as the Target Eliminations, they are tough and if your flying solo and waiting for that event to complete the bounty, your bound to get frustrated. It's one of those events that really shouldn't be taken on solo.

Edited by TheKungLao: 4/3/2015 5:29:28 AMBump. I'd like to see this resolved. On the eliminate the target, I don't think its a teleport, just a glitch. When I do the eliminate the target solo, all I use is a heavy machine gun with field scout and the proper element damage and viola, dead target.

I usually just skip those. Not worth the ammo.
