Activities within the tower

The tower is a place where you can either grab armor, equip shaders that Eva refuses to change, decode your engrams, pick up bounties and much more but what about something else? I've had multiple ideas that could be added to the tower to make it a sociable place and not just a simple grab and leave, Here's a few of my ideas. 1) A gaming room Much like other games, some had the option of playing card games, billiards or darts, so what about adding this to Destiny? Like playing texas hold'em, six guardians or some of the NPCs from the tower around the table and a ghost called "The Dealer" and around the table everyone could speak to one another and you could bet anything like 10,000 glimmer, one of your weapons or an armor piece and so on. You could leave anytime but you would need to be wise on what item you'd bet for you may not get it back so choose carefully. If you weren't a card person what about a game of billiards? you could face either another person or one of the many NPCs around the tower and if you decided to play maybe 3 rounds and win every single one, you'd be rewarded with either a rare or legendary engram. If you wanted to play with that soccer ball, why not head to a soccer field with 8 on 8 and play a soccer match, it would make the tower more sociable and a bit more fun instead of standing around and jumping high into the air on a fan. If that wasn't something you'd enjoy what about this... 2) Watching Live PVP I know this may seem difficult to implement but it couldn't be hard to try, so let's say that you were getting tired of playing PVP and just wanted to watch another play, well then you could. A special place in the tower would allow you to watch Live PVP matches like Control, Clash, Rumble, Skirmish, Salvage and the one with vehicles and not only that you could place a bet on either Alpha or Bravo team, you wouldn't see the names of the players playing instead they'd say player 1 and so on. Here's how it could work, let's say a guardian placed a 2,000 glimmer on Alpha team in Clash and they won that match, you'd win that times 2 and if you bet on alpha again and they won the next day it'd be triple but if alpha won 3 matches in 3 days and you bet on alpha you'd be rewarded a random engram, if they won 5 straight days you'd win a random legendary weapon or armor piece, if they won seven straight days, you'd either win an exotic weapon or an exotic armor piece or one piece of armor or a weapon from the Vault of Glass but this could only happen once every 2 weeks. 3) Attacks on the tower The tower is supposed to be a safe haven but that doesn't mean it's under constant threat from the fallen or Hive. The House of Devils and guardians fought at the battle of twilight gap but I don't see why they should stop. Very rarely if a guardian is in the tower, a voice over the intercom comes on and says "All guardians are needed at the North wall!" You could either answer the call or just let the NPCs handle it but if you decided to fight there'd be 10 waves at random, you could fight a fallen ultra the first or you may not see an ultra but each wave would be unpredictable, if you managed to defeat all 10 waves you'd be rewarded with 900 reputation and could choose to either put 300 in 3 factions or all 900 into one, not only that you'd get 25-50 vanguard marks and a legendary engram and this loot would reset weekly. This could either be down solo or with 3 to 6 people, sort of like a mini raid. 4) Sparrow Races This may have been mentioned before but it can't hurt to bring it up again. So if you kill atheon there's a chance to get a legendary sparrow, that's awesome but sparrows are only used for getting from point A to point B so why not race. In the tower or in orbit, for the tower there could be a droid that you'd speak to to join a race. This could be a race of 12 guardians and if you had a green or blue sparrow, Destiny could implement a special buff to temporarily upgrade them to legendary to race and these races could either happen on Earth, the Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury or somewhere in the reef and much like watching live PVP you could watch this too and bet on any of the twelve players to see who would come in 1st. During the race Harvesters, Tombships or those fallen ships would randomly appear and attempt to shoot at the player to slow them down or try to destroy their sparrow. This seems like something that would be interesting since many only use Sparrows to get around or to do some pretty cool mid-air tumbles. 5) Raid Board For many high level players who enjoy end game content but couldn't find more people, there could be a raid board within the tower for you to post something. You could ask for level 29s or 32s to help with the Vault or the upcoming Crota's End and if a 29 or 32 saw this, they could read this post and what requirements would they need to meet. If they met all requirements they could send a message asking or if they saw it and they were too late the board would say "This raid is at maximum capacity" but that doesn't mean they could keep looking around the board for an open spot in the raid. But only a maximum number of requests could be sent because you don't want to overwhelm the person who put up the post so a maximum of 5 replies could be sent. These ideas may never be put into the game but they're a suggestion to make the game more lively, for more people to enjoy going to the tower instead of just standing around only to get bounties or ammo. What do you think of these ideas? Would they make Destiny a bit more enjoyable or would it make it terrible, post your comments below and tell me what you think? If you have any ideas that I may have missed post them in the comments.

  • I had a few of those Ideas myself and posted them a while back good to see I'm not the only one that thinks this way. A few screens on the lounge areas could relay such information too (The gambling part and news of Tower breaches). and in the case of raids instead of people just leaving the tower for orbit to go raiding it would make so much more sense to have a short sequence where people in the group go into a troop carrier of some sort to go into the raid from the tower. I mean its our damn base of operations but nothing is ever launched from there?
