Larger Fireteams for Explore
^Please take this link to the poll for this forum^
During the Destiny Beta I usually had more than 2 friends that want to play with me at a given moment. This made things awkward when we wanted to do something like a mission as the maximum fireteam number was 3. This is somewhat understandable as the levels appear to be built for 3 players and if more were playing the mission at the same time it would make the mission too easy. However, it was a surprise to see that the Explore mode also has a 3 player fireteam limit despite there being no missions, besides the much smaller beacon missions, that needed to have an appropriate amount in a fireteam.
I was hoping that this could be changed to a larger number which is clearly possible as Crucible fireteams could have up to 6 players in the Beta. Seeing as the Explore mode doesn't need to have a balanced amount of players doing the same thing as there are no grander scaled missions so it would probably be an improvement to have more players in a fireteam for Explore mode as it would give people with more than 2 friends an opportunity to meet up to do something together in-game.

3 RepliesThe public areas have to be "balanced' so that you don't create situations where solo players can no longer play the game. Six good players were ROUTINELY enough to sweep The Divide clear of enemies, down to the last body...and that wasn't even with them acting as a coordinated team. If you allowed larger FT without adjusting either the enemy difficulty, or their spawning rate...then a large FT would quickly run out of things to shoot at..and would be unhappy. Adjust them upwards to make the large FTs happy...and you wind up with a situation that is unplayable for a solo player...because he winds up always taking simultanous fire from multiple groups of enemies. That happened quite a bit in the intial explore area in Old Russia if you played as a solo. Even at the baseline settings, if you took out the enemies near the jump ship crash site...then moved on to the large group coming up form underground, you would often wind up getting caught between taking fire from that group... ...and taking fire from respawns at the crash site you just cleared. Or in The Divide, You'd find yourself trying to take out the Fallen from the drop ships..while taking sniper fire from the roofs as well. When that happens only once in awhile, its an annoyance. But you are asking for conditions where it would happen basically all the time to any solo player.
