A few thoughts on additions or alterations that may make the game more enjoyable for everyone… [b]The Tower:[/b] • A shooting range similar to that found in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, or even something like The Danger Room from X-men, so that players can test their weapons and the perks on them before heading out to push back the Darkness or to test their metal in the Crucible. • A timed training course. An obstacle course with targets and such that tests a player’s skill and reaction time. Players could compete to have the best completion time, and there could even be a holo-board outside showing stats like world’s best, personal best, who’s best amongst your friends, etc. It would be even cooler if others in the tower could observe while someone is running through the course. Also, there could be a one man course and a fireteam course. • Observable Dueling Stage. Much like the timed course but for pvp. Guardians could have a 1v1 battle to settle who’s best. • Mini-games/activities. Something like an arcade room, or a place to sit down with other guardians and play cards or any number of other games. These options would make time spent in the tower infinitely more enjoyable. • The bar area downstairs should sell things, especially alcohol and cake, that players have to pay glimmer for. • Chairs you can sit in for real by pressing X or something. • A library where you can view your grimoire cards in game. • A Larger Vault. You could put more stuff in it :D • Seasonal Events/Decorations. It would be cool if at least small parts of the tower were decorated in accordance with the holidays or time of year. Also, season specific events, competitions, lotteries, or giveaways would be cool. [b]The Start Menu:[/b] • Progress in rank for Crucible, Vanguard, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, FWC, The Queen’s Wrath, The Iron Banner, and whatever else is to come should all be viewable at any time in the start menu. • You shouldn’t be backed out of the start menu at the beginning of crucible matches when the screen switches from ships flying to the planet to the map vista and from there to the team bearing the banner. • Going into the start menu while in the mission selection screen for a planet or while in the game type selection screen for crucible or strikes shouldn’t send you back to the planet selection screen. [b]Patrol:[/b] • Dueling. I myself haven’t seriously played any MMO or MMO style games before Destiny. But I hear this is a pretty popular thing and I think it should be implemented in Destiny. Let players, who agree to, kill each other in the wild. • Larger Fireteams. A six man fireteam while patrolling would be outstanding for when you have more than 2 friends to play with. Also, there could be a whole additional set of more difficult patrol missions for larger fireteams. • Larger PVP options. Like dueling, but with fireteams. This would probably require a larger number of people per patrol server as I have never seen this many Guardians together in the wild. • Sparrow Races • Gold chests that give you something cool/worthwhile. Receiving a sparrow from the gold chests on Earth was rewarding. The rest of the gold chests from the Moon, Venus, and Mars were very disappointing, and there was no reward for finding all of the chests on every planet. • The ability to destroy dropships [b]Crucible:[/b] • A game mode where you can equip as many exotic items as you want (both weapons and armor). • Maybe let us play Salvage when there are bounties for it. [b]Other:[/b] • Ship and Sparrow shaders • Weapon shaders • When you load into an outdoor area for any Vanguard activity you should be dropped off by your ship like in the E3 demo. It was very disappointing not to have this included in the game. • A vehicle that sits more than one person. Vehicles that require or allow teamwork are always more fun. • A Galaga-esque loading screen where you and your fireteam can shoot a bunch of stuff while you wait through the long loading screen, as long as it doesn’t noticeably increase load time that is. Your ship’s weapons should actually depend on what ship you have. The option to choose between this and the traditional loading screen would also be nice, as some people enjoy the downtime of the loading screen.
