Here’s my thought: Put it as part of an overhauled patrol/destinations. - update the enemy spawn density and strength so that they might actually pose a threat outside of that first patrol space in Cosmodrome (keep that as a sort of training space). - Each location has a rank system similar to Throne World where completing public events, patrols, and collecting resources gives XP. - an updated armor set for each location (Cosmodrome, EDZ, Nessus, Dreaming City, Moon, and Europa) that can be unlocked at ranks 2,3,4,6,and 8 of the vendor. Subsequent drops can occur with new (up to 64 stat total) rolls from public event chests as a chance instead of blue drops. (Higher chance from heroic) - A NEW weapon for each location that can be earned at rank 10. Subsequent drops can happen at random from new Legendary Patrols, Legend and Master lost sectors, and an updated weekly bounty. Perk pools would be updated once per year. - Subsequent rank ups would give more perk nodes similar to playlist ranks. Also increases the likelihood and energy total of the armor drops. Legendary Patrols would be variations of the HVT, Generic kill, and collection patrols. HVT’s would have much higher health and light level (putting them at legend levels) and higher add density spawns. Kill patrols would be very specific requiring specific weapon types, locations, and damage types to perform. Collections would have some prerequisites and generally be more total than regular patrols. The goal would be to give new players an easy intro into higher level content and the game’s terms while giving experienced players some new loot and cosmetics for minor investment. Just a thought I’ve had for years. Literally just updated the locations in the () near the top. Could even put shaders and other location-themed cosmetics in the rank up tiers.

There’s something quite therapeutic about just bumbling around in patrol though. Sometimes I’ll do this searching for OOBs and then explore those for hours

Cosmodrome is much more of a wasteland than Tangled Shore ever was; give it some more public events ffs, Bungie! More patrols won't hurt either. People ask for EDZ and Nessus to get vaulted - no! At any given moment, there's at least 1 PE going on each location.

[quote]Chaos = more enemy spawns, more random events, harder patrol missions, just more chaos (ex. Alters of Sorrow event on the moon).[/quote] Honestly no, The patrols on the throne world is a great reason we don’t need harder patrols, I don’t know about you, but I don’t wanna be that guy sitting on throne world for 30 minutes only because the patrol I got wants me to get 50 ability kills

I would love an event in patrols that grants players a guaranteed exotic after completion. Bungie can boost the difficulty to whatever they feel is right and think about it, 10-16 players in one spot killing aliens left and right and everyone working together to take them down sounds like a lot of fun.

YES! I want each destination to feel like you're in a war

Patrols and public events could use some work. The last time the were worth doing consistently was vanilla D2 when they were pretty much the only source of exotic. I’d love to see some destination specific gear brought back in to the game. OG D2 had its issues but it did have reasons to go to specific planets and we are sorely lacking that currently.

Remember the patrol missions in D1? Splicer priests you killed with Iron Lord axes, driving through charges on your sparrow, random mystery patrols... D1 patrols felt more engaging.

Public events should be unique horde modes with level of difficulty added to them similar to Nightfalls, Dungeons and Raids. Think Escalation Protocol and Altar of Sorrow but with rewards for each encounter. Also, yes to what you mentioned. We need our current content to be “compelling”. It was a bad move for them when they removed Adventures from the game.

Long ago when they showcase D2 for the first time and mentioned Flashpoint, I thought it would work like world tier, where the entire planet will get more and harder enemies, different type of public event, etc . I was disappointed.

World bosses would be cool with super rare cosmetics.

Patrol spaces in general need way higher enemy density

The problem of destiny open world is that it's too empty even with patrols, Public events,lost sectors and chest are useless and unrewarding even for new lights Some ppl might not know but we had a sort of world boss during Shadow keep release during "Season of the Undying" where you fight mobs of vex then a Giant Hyda appear you kill it then a chest of vex themed seasonal weapons drop it was kinda fun This is what we need but make the boss have way more heath to the point you actually need ppl to help you and have it appear on the map as a "World Boss Encounter" I know ppl hated that season but I liked it then only thing ruined it for me was the Undying Mind Incident
