Love for Patrol
I really love the Patrol missions, the bigger maps with no set objective. I love gathering materials and completing bounties on patrol, testing my new gear/weapons and just enjoying the incredible view and details of this game and my character(while in 3rd perspective, animations/melee weapons).
I'd love to see these maps and "Patrol missions" to keep on expanding, just the latest additions of Blades of Crota mobs and the "wars" taking place in Skywatch have improved my Patrol experience tremendously.
I'd love for Patrol to have some more immersion, perhaps a small "settlement" on each planet, just some NPCs/stores and maybe some more activities for players, like defending incoming assaults or "escorting" NPCs through and to locations on the maps, serving as a "Guardian".
I love Destiny as a FPS, and I dont want it to change, but some more immersion or "roleplaying" so you really feel like a "Guardian" and not just a "Fragger" of NPCs would really make those great environments feel a bit more inhabited and alive. I'd love to see some wildlife, maybe even related to mini-missions. It looks better than many of the open-world RPGs, just adding a bit more immersion related material would really make Destiny stand out as the unique Game it is Destined to be. A little less "arcade" and a little bit "uncertain" events and possibilities would make it very interesting, I'd think it'd really make players "inhabit" the planets in a way where it all comes alive in a new way.
Maybe some optional(on/off) PvP or Team-based "hold and capture" points locations could be implemented in a fun, safe and creative way, holding small "camps" for generating material/ammo/loot.
Thank you.

1 ReplyI usually feel the same way you do about free roam in games, I love just exploring. Sadly, I just can't get into exploring Destiny's worlds, I don't know why. I guess for the same reasons you made this thread - lack of variety.

Give some npcs and buy stuff for glimmer would be great. I usually only run patrol when there are bounties, need materials, or just because it's something to do. I would like to see what the guardian's (or a different type altogether) are selling on Venus.

2 RepliesBump bro. I also kinda wish they'd raise the height you can explore. I hate jumping from a building and finding the sky is like 3 feet above my head

shame most do not share this sentiment. i love free roaming, doing whatever and checking out scenery, want thereto be more but most players just do not share this most seem content doing strikes over and over.

1 ReplyNice post. Well said. Hey, what's that image you posted? It's great.

2 RepliesGreat ideas! Patrol is one of my favorite things to do as well. I think it would be really cool if they added more random events, like the wars that the Hive and Fallen have on Earth

1 ReplyPatrol missions in a nutshell: Kill stuff Kill certain stuff and pick up stuff Kill a specific thing Travel to a location and hold a button Travel to a location and just stand there

1 ReplyI actually love this, all the supports ! Patrol is honestly an end game feature if you really break it down right now, I would love to see it expanded and loved, as I spend most of my destiny time nowadays on Mars hopping into glitched buildings xD

If they added new one-time missions, like 'Retrieve a Golden Age relic for Rahool. Be warned, it is protected heavily by the Hive, for they value it nearly as highly as the Soul of Crota himself' or something of that nature, where I feel like I'm contributing to the defense and protection of Earth, along with developing the storyline, I'd definitely go on Patrol more. Right now, I stand better chances for new gear in the raid and ROC playlist, so I'll stick to it at the moment.

Edited by OBrien 711: 12/24/2014 4:55:24 AMPatrol is pretty awesome, it's true. Maybe a bit under-appreciated by the majority of the community. Love how it's a great way to to Bounties, build some Vanguard rep, and get those ever-precious Helium Filaments. And while doing so, it gives you an opportunity to appreciate just how much depth the Destiny maps actually have- it's a lot more than it looks like when you're just flying through it on Missions or Strikes. I can spend a good few hours out there. Honestly I feel it's one of the things in Destiny that started out in the right direction, and easily the best way to fill any non-gear requirements you might have. Really hope there's more emphasis put on Patrol in future updates to keep it going. And to be honest, it seems to me like there's a couple really, really easy ways to make things interesting. The first thing on my Christmas list here is a little more variety in the micro-missions from the Beacons would go a long way. Right now, there are two basic categories- 1. Kill stuff (with variations like kill stuff, then pick up the items they drop) 2. Go places (with variations like go places, scan it with your Ghost) What if there were more missions, or just better tweaks on what's already there? For example, to introduce a mission type where you have to find items in loot chests? Then you could go into caves to look for quest items, not just green loot and some upgrade material. Or if the "target" missions had you kill tougher enemies, instead of the usual random Vandal or Servitor. Make it a miniboss, an actual challenge! Another great thing would be if there were a way to make Patrol harder for lvl 20+ players. I kinda miss the days in level 8 when a public event would have me fighting for my life instead of punching everything to death just 'cuz I can. Could it be made so there were dedicated servers to 20+ players with 20+ enemies? That would change the Patrol dynamic considerably and potentially interest more "endgame" level players. Bungie, if you end up reading this, please take some serious consideration here. These changes wouldn't be that hard to implement (relatively) and would insure that people keep coming back to Patrol for some more adventure (and really appreciate it). I know I would be willing to spend a lot more time in the great world you made if even one of these changes were implemented.

3 RepliesPatrol has its moments, definitely the most opportunity for growth of the game. Sadly I think bungie has already pre-determined the destiny of Destiny...and as the magic 8 - ball says, outlook not so good. I mean they can't even implement something as trivial and simple as raid matchmaking which would have the biggest impact on player retention.

Bumping for justice.

1 ReplySound like a great idea my friend!

I really dig patrol too. Some base holding/building would be neat. PvP opportunities. Cool ideas. I hope they work some of these into the game.
-
Bounty / quest hubs in the world would be a marvelous feature.

3 RepliesWould like bigger teams as we'll, 6-12 man fire teams for clan activities and just large groups of friends to play together.
