So far in this game, one of the dullest parts(i would say) are the patrol missions. For one, there is nothing special to them at all, its either kill X amount of enemies, scout an area..... (stand in one spot for 10 seconds...... really?), collect certain items from enemies that you kill, etc..... The problem that i really am seeing is that there wasn't much thought given to the whole system. Like it was an afterthought. But, what could we possibly do to make it more interesting. Here is an idea, When my friends and I were doing some patrol missions for a bounty, I got a green drop from an enemy (wonderful). Green item drops in the game are considered uncommon, but the patrol mission icons are also green. And then it clicked, What if patrol missions could have different rarities based on their color? Think about it for a second, you are doing one of the patrol mission bounties on a planet or just exploring, and you run into a purple/orange blinking light. You don't know what it is so you press the select/back button and it shows you a mission icon you haven't seen before. Of course you are going to activate it to see what it is, because it rewards you with really great items based on the rarity! See? You can see where in going with this. Blue mission (Blue+ item) , purple (Legendary+) , and orange mission (exotic random class or class specific), pretty much like engrams. The missions could range in difficulty based on which color it is, where it would take you on a story based mission to EXPLAIN the story more fluidly filling out areas that we are uncertain of or just have questions. The missions could be as simple as to blow up a fallen station, or exterminate a hive stronghold, or for the rarer missions it could be almost like a mini raid like "where did the vex come from", or you could find a ghost from a long dead guardian that knows different pieces of info from the past (VERBALLY told to us, we don't want to know what happened through the Grimoire). There are some flaws to this idea though, like the fact that people ARE going to try to farm them. It's not so much of a problem really, but it would take out the whole experience of finding them. Another is the fact that people would be turned off to the whole idea if the missions were just copy and paste with same objectives and enemies I know this isn't a perfect idea, and it probably wouldn't be able to make it in the game of destiny that we have now. Maybe destiny 2 or 3 who knows. I just thought it was a good idea and i thought it was worth sharing =) Good Luck making your Destiny Guardians
