Dear Bungie,
I am at it again like I promised to give more feedback. I would like to talk about Free Roam, or mostly Lost Sectors. I feel there is something good here with what you have, however I feel it could be remarkable. Please consider these suggestions and feel free to use them as I want no copyrights to these ideas, I just want to enjoy the game greatly.
LOST SECTORS
- First and foremost please make Lost Sectors truly epic to take. The mini boss needs to be mean, it needs to be wanting to kill me, and I need to want kill it back (#Variks). Give it mechanics like Public Events do, or even better make me and my fireteam have to fight to make it vulnerable. It doesn't need to be harder than a Strike Boss, but it should be harder than a Public Event boss. I'm invading it's home and it doesn't want to leave.
- Second to this make these Lost Sectors have rare drops. Like each sector could have a planet specific gear piece or weapon and make a complete set for only that planet. Throw in a planet specific Exotic Quest line. Give me an emblem once I complete the set that says 'I took on the darkness, and it lost'. You want me to grind Lost Sectors, I will grind Lost Sectors for epic loot.
- Third idea on top of that, make Sectors attain able for Vanguard control. What I mean by this is a Fireteam clears a lost sector, we now control the sector, we leave to go control other sectors, meanwhile enemy factions come to fight to take back control of the sector while we are away, Becomes a Public Event for the fireteam (or the server) to come back and defend that sector. Completing a successful defend of a Sector could give Vanguard reputation and Special rewards.
- Fourth make a Time Trial run to take back all Lost Sectors on a planet before the timer runs out, Fireteam required. Give me some epic emblems and other special only rewards I can show off with and again I will grind and grind.
PUBLIC EVENTS
- I really only have one suggestion for Public Events as they feel great the way they are. Give them each a specific rare gear or weapon drops, just one piece even per faction would be great. I would like a reason to grind these after I'm max light and I have collected all the Exotic Engram attainable items.
In conclusion, I am excited to see something done with Free Roam in General. Bosses need to feel fierce. I want to remember that boss that gave me that scar while I gave him many more. Make it a challenge to be sought after. If it's at my fingertips, I will push myself harder to grasp the prize.
Thanks again, I will leave more feedback later.

While I agree Lost Sectors were a huge disappointment. The last thing they need are Fireteam related mechanics. The need to be able to be completed solo. Make them hard, increasing ads or maybe add a modifier. No timers and no raid or strike style mechanics though.
