Eh. We don't need new areas really for patrol. All BUNGIE has to do (listen to what I will say next, it will blow your minds), is open up patrol to INCLUDE, (yes... include), all the story mission areas that are locked out of the patrol zones. Ever wanted to get up in the Terminus while patrolling Venus for some Spirit Bloom? Well -blam!- you, it's got a protective shield around it that BUNGIE also patched so you can't jump over it (are you trying to make us not explore?). Ever wanted to ascend up to Cayde's Stash and enjoy the view? Well too -blam!-ing bad you can't even get info Sepiks Prime's area. Ever wanted to go beyond the Jovian complex on Earth? Discover some more of the Hive's lost secrets? Haha, nope go -blam!- yourself that door is shut again some how. Ever wanted to explore ALL of Rasputin's base? Sucks for you, he's not letting you in unless you are in certain story missions. Ever wanted to go into the Black Garden and sniff around? Well to -blam!-ing bad, launch up the Undying Mind Strike or a story mission. Ever wanted to check out the Cabal's headqu- ah, said no one ever! Ever wanted to dive into the chamber of Night on moon? Play some of that newly founded hide and seek in the dark (and maybe have sirprize buttsex?). Well go -blam!- yourself cause it's shut and locked up by hive runes. Ever wanted to explore more of the dreadnau- no -blam!- that place. Ever wanted to check out the ENTIRE Hive fortress called the Hellmouth? Yeah me too, but my Ghost lost all the access codes he acquired from the World's Grave. Ever wanted to check out where you killed Nexus Mind Sekion? Noodle through all that cool Vex shit? Too bad, it's locked up. Ever wanted to FULLY IMMERSE YOURSELF in the glory that is the Vault of Glass and run through that shit like Praedyth? Sucks to be you. That shit is some how locked up AGAIN. I think you get my point, Guardians. BUNGIE, just has to extend the areas it has kept the patrol from being able to access. Story mission, Strike and Raids areas should be fully explorable in patrol (well, maybe not Raids... that's a lot of area).
