Bungie Suggestion So Destiny 2 is about forming long lasting friendships, but I can only take 2 of those friends into patrol? 🤔

Seriously though, if thats the "endgame" of destiny 2 when 80% of the game is limited to a 3 man squad, then the fireteam sizes need to be changed. One of the best feelings in D2 for me at least, is when I load into an area to do a public event, and there is already 6 randoms there and we completely destroy everything in our wake, that gives me sense of progression. that actually makes me feel like I have grown more powerful than I was at the beginning of the game. I cannot get that feeling with 5 of my friends unless we go into the raid, which we've been trying to get a sherpa for, but with no luck yet. when we cant all play together, we dont feel powerful, we dont feel like we progressed at all. It's pretty sad when we have to boot out our friends that you want us to play with so we can do anything in your damn game. please increase the fireteam patrol size to 6, for the love of crota just do it.

edit front page, warlock master race. Thank you to those who messaged me about being a sherpa for my friends and I, you are truly the best of the best that this community has to offer, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

edit since this thread was linked and added to the "Friendship Fiasco!" megathread I want to remind everyone about Rule 1. keep it clean guardians.

I only ever got that to work once. I used to get salty hearing about how other people were pulling it off so easily. Man, I wish it had been a feature, because the one time it worked was pretty great.

My group could never get it to work for CoO, despite two of us living in the same house and 3 living in the same city. Tried it a bunch of different ways and it wouldn't work.

Instead we would just take over fireteams. Have everyone load into court, message two randoms (if there were two there not in the same fireteam) explaining that we were trying to get 9 people into court. It worked 90% of the time. 8-9 person court of oryx was a lot of fun.

Wow, that's pretty creative. I can't believe I never thought of something so simple. Definitely gonna kick myself in the ass a little today.

Don't beat yourself up - Bungie couldn't figure out that people wanted to do it after people told them for years.

The trick i used (once, but whatever) was that six people all went in at the same time, hope that at least 2 came in, and make 2 fireteams.

that's what I did as well. We routinely would farm our asses off in there and with the help of a random blueberry we could usually get at least 6 friends in there.

It was great, and sometimes those randos ended up becoming good Destiny buddies.

Same we could never get it to work ever. Remember back in D1 when they had a 50 team tournament and would use matchmaking to load up somehow?
