Imagine if once a month, preferably between iron banner events, we had access to...
Wait for it...
Heroic Patrols?
But not just higher level patrols. Oh no. That would be just as easy and boring as normal patrols. I'm proposing that these patrols have modifiers that will challenge us while not making them annoying. So no Trickle.
These patrols should come standard with
Epic
Chaff
Juggler
Match game
Fresh troops
I don't know about the rest of you, but I want heroic patrols to feel like we're risking our lives. We've left the comfort and safety of the Traveler's shadow and are patrolling dangerous areas full of dangerous enemies.
Now I bet some of you are saying, why would I want to go on higher level patrols? Especially with those modifiers? Even if they're heroic patrols, it will still get just as boring.
And you're absolutely correct!
That's why I also propose that the engram drop rate be raised during this event. Not to the point where you're back handing a thrall and an exotic poops out. No. That would be ridiculous. But enough to where it feels like rares and legendaries are popping up more than usual.
And in order to counteract this engram drop rate buff, there has to be something to counteract this reward. A risk, if you will.
Being heroic patrols, you will be considered in a darkness zone. When you die, you will receive a thirty second respawn timer. But not thirty seconds before you can be revived. [b]30 seconds to be revived before any uncollected engrams on the floor will disappear, lost forever. [/b]
Hopefully this would promote players helping each other out. Maybe even joining up and making new friends. It would also add a sense of urgency to a death in the fireteam.
Obviously public events would still appear but they would scale based on how many players were in the area. Dunno how this could be done, really. But it would be better than how public events are, currently.
And last, but certainly not least, more patrols like Troll patrol, where we can go fight bosses. My hope is that we'd get not only mission bosses but maybe even mini strike bosses but I'd settle for more mission bosses like in Troll Patrol.
Obviously, there would be bounties throughout the week. Small daily bounties and big weekly ones. The weekly ones could be something like kill 1000 of each enemy—(A.K.A. Hive, Fallen, Vex and Cabal)—and complete 250 patrols. Something that would take time.
While I'm not sure what the event armor or weapons could be, one reward and the one I think most people would want, would be consumables you can buy that will give your primary weapons a burn for 15 minutes.
That's all I got for now. Feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions.
TL;DR Heroic Patrols as a monthly PVE Event.
