Request to Bring Seasons Back to Patrol

I'd love to see a seasonal changing world.

Nah, leave the open world behind.

Maybe a split between models?

Bungie Developer People, Please bring seasonal activities, at least the ones we play over and over maybe not the side missions, back to patrol spaces. I began playing Destiny 2 during the first week of Season of Arrivals. And I loved it. I really appreciated how the seasonal events of the story were reflected in the worlds as the season progressed. Whilst it may have been a "gambit activity" season I still enjoyed it. It was so fun starting up the activity as a solo player, not sure if id be able to complete it in time. Then a second player rides in and I'm hoping the two of us can get it done. Just before the timer runs out a third guy drops in and supers the boss finishing it off before the timer ends giving a great sense of accomplishment. The current seasonal model has non of these fun factors. [b]Chance of Losing[/b] Currently you load a match-made activity with 6 or 3 other players and never fail because... there's 3-6 of you, how could you possibly fail? Chance of failure makes the activity feel way better to play because you don't always come out on top. In arrivals you could fail the event, and then have to wait a bit before it restarts again elsewhere. Thus completing it felt great like you actually did something and not just running through a routine. The non standardized play counts made it harder as well. You cant count on 6 players all the time, while it happened often it also didn't. Thus resulting in occasional failures. [b]Why Ever go into Patrol[/b] Patrol zone based seasonal activities focus players into the patrol spaces where, lets be honest not a lot of players go unless forced to via weekly challenge or bounty. Then they run like its the plague. Having the activity based in patrol means they can do seasonal activities and patrol challenges or bounties at the same time, so time save for the player right there. As well as giving these spaces a purpose. And a reason to evolve. In the current system, the patrol open world aspect of the game is still basically the same it was at game launch. Nothing has changed in the open world to reflect the changes the games story has gone through. For example: Hive lightbearers, why are they only within savathuns throne world? I was so ready and hoping they would show up in strike reworks, and some patrol areas. But nope. The expansion was completely self contained. As has Beyond Light, as is Lightfall. They arent expanding the game if the game isnt changing. Seasons now follow this rule as well where they are completely cut off from the main open world and have no effect on it. I'm not a great writer, but I hope you get the idea im trying to put out there. And the points I'm trying to make. As you have said before Bungie guys, changing seasonal models doesn't happen on a dime. I get that. So consider this a post Final Shape thing to consider if seasonal releases still happen after that expansion. Please leave your thoughts below, and/or vote on the poll listed. Thanks for reading, -Duvain
