Honest feedback and some ideas

Hello everyone. First I gotta say that I’m German so you may find one or two or a gazillion faults in my text. I apologize for that but I don’t know any better. I still hope that I get my points across. I really love this game. And I say that as someone who cannot be a fanboy of any kind since I never got to play a bungie game because I’ve always been a PS-gamer. And honestly I’ve never been into shooters much in general. But I learned about Destiny and saw pictures of the art style and the landscapes and I immediately had to give it a shot… literally. That said I cannot help but to point out a few things that I personally think could have been made better or could even be changed now without a lot of effort that would really improve the gaming experience for most players. [b][u]PVE:[/u][/b] [u]Patrol: [/u] I consider it a bad decision to not shift the focus on the patrols. They really should be the hearts and souls of PvE, I mean besides raiding and strikes of course. Therefore I would make the golden chests and the dead ghosts only available while you’re on patrol. That would make players go on patrol more often and not have them to redo story missions because they missed a chest there. That makes the story feel awkward. The story should be about advancement all the way. So other than me not being good enough to complete it I shouldn’t be forced to go through a mission again. The patrol on the other hand is made to be redone over and over. And there should be a heroic patrol mode for all those past level 20. A mode where the very first enemies are at least level 18. And in that mode there should be more to discover like more ordinary chests, hidden strong enemies like small worldbosses and so forth. Chests is another good example. They should contain more. Therefore the general caps should be raised in my opinion. Just make PvE-Equipment a little more costly and raise the caps for glimmer and the weekly caps for vanguard marks much higher. I really see no need that they are the same as in PvP but I’ll come to that later. If done so, chests could contain something like vanguard marks or stuff you could trade in for reputation with the different factions in the tower. These should be also rewarded for participating in the public events. I really think that it is sad that there is no point at all to do them after your first one on gold for the day. Why not rewarding each level with something. Every time. I mean they are irregular and you’ll not always make it there till it’s done. So there is not really a way of farming them or so. Gold should grant you a random loot drop, 1 mark and a reputiation consumble, silver the same but no mark and less rep and bronze just a random drop. That would encourage players to partake in these events. I’ve seen literally dozens of people plainly ignoring them. These changes would give players over level 20 something to do aside raiding, strikes and PvP. Speaking of strikes. Please make Mister Lanister talk to us and give people a least some advice for the bosses. In a random group with no means of communication it is hard if you have someone who does it for the first time. Best example is summoning pits where new players tend to circle around spawning more and more adds. That could easily be avoided if Tyrion just warned them not to do so. [u]Story:[/u] Give us more lore in the game itself. I like the grimmoire but it is unnecessary that it is not implemented in the game itself I think. [u][b]PvP:[/b][/u] First of all here. I’m really bad at it. Honestly I suck balls in PvP. The only way I would do any good there would be to use some tactical nuclear bomb thrown from outer space. That said I still really enjoy playing it. It is a blast. Most people will try to get kills and stuff. I almost only try to survive and take control points but still I love it^^ But here also in my opinion three things should be reconsidered. First of all I think there is too much special and heavy ammo in the field. I’d reduce that drastically to make these weapons… you guessed it… special. Would make it a little less frustrating for new players who practically get instakilled every 5 seconds after respawning. Secondly I would reduce the damage done by players to other players by about 10 percent. That way and taking less special ammo into consideration there would be longer firefights which I’d consider a good thing. And last but surly not least are the rewards. I will never make it to the top spot if I don’t play only against afkers, but I think it is a unbelievably bad decision that first place does not automatically mean you get at least something. I would really rework that completely and move away from this two-slot-totally-random-system. There should be rewards for actually doing something. Best player (pointwise) of both teams should get a random legendary engram every time. Best player in each respective team too but with chance of it being only a blue or green one. In addition to that places one to three should also get one blue or green drop safely in the winner’s team and blue, green or white drop in the loser’s team. Places four and five should get a green drop too with chance of it being an engram. In addition to that places one to five should be rewarded a random crafting material or currency token. And the last place should just be given one random reward but not specified so it can be everything. That wise players would feel more rewarded and doing something would become more essential. At least in my opnion. [u][b]Social:[/b][/u] I would like to see more means of communications in the game. What if people at least in the tower would be able to communicate? For example a little icon next to the players name that shows his language and if he has a headset. If he has I should be able to R3 him and talk to him. And what about a bulletin-board in the tower where people can leave messages like questions that other players can answer. Or set up raids and so forth. And players should be able to mail each other massage… I mean there is a post guy isn’t there? So there are my two cents. But like I said in the beginning I really love the game and I’m really confident that I’ll do so for years to come. Sorry again for my bad English. I hope it was not too horrible to read. Have a good one everyone. [b][/b]
