Despite some technical issues and complaints about the story and duration of play, I think we can agree Destiny can be an enjoyable game. To that end I made a list of suggestions for new or different gameplay features in Destiny. I know others have mentioned some of these things but it doesn't hurt to repeat. These wishlist items are in no particular order: * Swords. [spoiler]The Sword of Crota mission makes it clear that swordplay could be fun and the mechanics are already built into the game. [/spoiler]I don't care if there are metal swords, laser swords, vibroblades, axes, polearms, whatever. I just want swords and melee weapons. A melee block/shield/directional defense would be nice too, but I realize this isn't a fighting game. * A world map for each planet, easily accessible during gameplay. * Ability to select a new mission without going into orbit. * Player race selection should make a difference. In gameplay if not story as well. Are exos more durable? Do awoken have an affinity for "magic"? * More weapons. Could we pick up enemy weapons? That's pretty common in games. Some of the guns seem useful, like the Vandal "needler" and Knight bazooka. * Cloth items with special attributes or functions. Unless there are items I don't know about, it seems cloth objects don't have any purpose beyond decoration or faction alignment. * Weaponized transportation options, or other types of scooters/sparrows, perhaps with guns or a special ramming attack. BTW, Bungie, the sparrows are a great feature in this game. Traveling can be a chore in other open world games. * Scooter racing. This could be a fun diversion from shooting bad guys. You'd probably have to add things like power-ups and speed boosts to make it interesting. You could also use similar play for "chase the bad guy" missions. * Gameplay activities on the mobile companion app. For example, changing equipment or doing some "shopping" while away from the console. Or other tasks that might delay jumping right into a mission. * More missions with combat vehicles. [Apparently Bungie planned for this with a vehicle-based event starting 9/19] * Missions in or around The Last City. I assume this is planned [spoiler](along with missions on Mercury, Jupiter, and time travel)[/spoiler], but I'm mentioning anyway. * How about space combat & weapon options for our ship? * Also swords.
