Alright, so far in Destiny we have always been given the impression that any place beyond the Traveller and the city is gravely dangerous but when we explore those areas, they aren't all that dangerous so, lets make it more dangerous. What I thought should be added to the game is a monthly patrol event, appropriately named a siege (or something similar). This event would take place either one of the planets or the moon (and NOT the dreadnaught because that is a ship). I would like this event to be monthly because Iron Banner Is monthly.
I have spoken enough on why, now lets talk about what it is.
So this Siege idea involves each planet and moon with a patrol option (NOT Phobos or the Dreadnaught) and what it does is makes the enemy type decided by Bungie for that week have much tougher reinforcements and larger groups on a decided planet were they are found.
For example, if you are anywhere on Earth (so if future expansions add in more patrol zones on Earth they too will be effected) all Fallen houses (if Fallen was the monthly threat) have increased levels with each squad at least one Fallen Major and increased numbers. Plus if possible (in certain locations) Fallen Walker tanks hold put in more areas around the open world and the missions that are where you find taken (for the week) are all replaced with Fallen and possibly a Fallen Ultra. All story missions (and locations only available in story) strikes public events and even raids will remain unaffected.
(please tell me if I'm making sense or not so I can clarify)
To further make this feel like a Siege, the sky could be crowded with air ships of that type so Ketches for Fallen, Hive ship (like the ones found with the dreadnaught), Confluxes and Vex grids (not a ship) and Cabal war ships (like the one crashed on the dreadnaught)
Earth and moon would have Fallen and Hive sieges, Venus has fallen and vex and the Mars has Vex and Cabal.
But what are the rewards for this, I was thinking this would work similarly to the Crucible bounties available for Shaxx but these bounties would involve killing (for example) 500 fallen, 50 fallen majors and 5 fallen Ultras. When all these bounties have been completed, you will be rewarded with nightfall tier rewards (though there would be many more bounties to complete before the rewards)
These bounties are available from your guardian Vanguard representative, Cayde if Hunter, Ikora if Warlock and Zavala if Titan.
If you have any further suggestions, complaints or unsure about this, please give me feed back and if you vote in the poll.
And for when this event is available, the two weeks after Iron Banner (so Iron Banner, week off, Siege, week off, repeat or what ever)
Bungie, please respond to this and Everyone else, share this around so others can see it.
