Basically, I think Bungie should apply the [b]“whisper formula”[/b] to all lost sectors in the game.
[b]1. Make lost sectors meaningful. [/b][quote]
Designate a specific exotic weapon for each lost sector.
[/quote]
[b]2. Make lost sectors lore friendly. [/b][quote]
Give each lost sector an aesthetic overhaul to match their designated exotic weapon.
[/quote]
[b]3. Make lost sectors challenging. [/b][quote]
Implement a 20 minute timer for each lost sector. In a perfect world, Bungie would add jumping puzzles and strategically placed enemy spawn locations. This will force players to explore different builds and allot their time responsibly.
[/quote]
[b]4. Make lost sectors farmable. [/b][quote]
Implement "tiered loot." First completion of the lost sector rewards the designated exotic weapon. Second completion of the lost sector rewards the designated exotic weapon's catalyst. Both drops are guaranteed, this way players can enjoy the weapons before they get nerfed or "vaulted."
[/quote]
[b]5. Make lost sectors exciting. [/b][quote]
Continuing with the idea of "tiered loot," a hidden puzzle will unlock once a player obtains both the base weapon and catalyst for that specific lost sector. In a perfect world, the reward for completing this secret puzzle will be an exotic ship with the same aesthetics as the exotic weapon rewarded in that specific lost sector.
[/quote]
[b]6. Don't forget about legendary lost sectors! [/b][quote]
So far, rotating legendary lost sectors have been a huge success for players seeking to obtain exotic armor. If everything mentioned above is magically made official by Bungie, then we should continue to rotate legendary lost sectors each week. This will give players who already have the base weapon, catalyst, and secret ship for each lost sector a reason to continue grinding them again each week.

[b]p.s.[/b] I apologize in advance if my ideas are... "unpopular" or "impossible" to implement by the developers. However, I just really miss the feeling of helping blueberries with their first "whisper run" each week. This used to be my weekly ritual and eventually evolved into my own personal "endgame." Whisper of the Worm is what made me fall in love with Destiny in the first place, so it would mean the world to me if something "similar" was added to the game. Right now, Destiny just feels... empty. To me, at least.

2 RepliesLegendary lost sectors already exist. Adding lore and reworking all of them imo is wasted dev time compared to a new activity, especially considering that you would only get the exotic weapon once.
