Please don't assume that your opinions will automatically make the game better, and make the game better for everyone. I know that some of the stuff you're suggesting is stuff I have no desire to have in my Destiny experience, so please, get off your high horse and listen to some feedback on your opinions and personal suggestions. 1. Waypoints- I really think Waypoints are an unnecessary addition to the game. I don't think they would actually add anything in a game where so much is changing constantly. You want to put up a Waypoint for some enemies? Well you get there and another fireteam has wiped them out. You want to put up a Waypoint for a chest? Someone already beat you there. Most players share information on Dead Ghosts, so having a Waypoint there is almost completely worthless as well. And if you're wanting to put Waypoints on the map in PvP, all you are doing is wasting your time. And there is no point in adding them for vehicles like your sparrow seeing as that are accessible just about everywhere and don't have a specific spawn point. So no, Waypoints would be a waste of time. 2. This is a good idea, something that really needs to be considered, because it would encourage larger group social aspects, along with the Tower and 6 person teams in the Crucible. 3. You can already restrict your fireteam to allow Invite Only. Strikes are meant to be completed by 3 players. If you team up with randoms, you run the risk of what you experienced, its part of multiplayer gaming. Other people have different priorities and schedules than you. It doesn't make them noobs, it means they have a different life than you. So don't just make assumptions when you don't know the entire reason behind their actions. 4. I would also like to not have to deal with my fireteam being split up in Crucible matches. I am not sure how this is occurring in the match making system, but it needs to be fixed. 5. Loot drops should not be shared, nor should they be universal. Everyone has their own private loot stream. It was a key aspect of their design to negate ninjas and give players more peace of mind when interacting with random people. Having individual private loot streams with everyone on their own RNG loot drops it the fairest way to approach loot. If you and your friends can't figure out that just because you got a drop, doesn't mean all your friends did, then I question either your intelligence or your sanity. If you want everyone to be getting the same all the time in a group, then there will be no variation among each player's loot drops. 6. Loot Chests do not spawn in unreachable places, they sometimes spawn in places that are actually challenging to get to. Which is a good thing, they don't need to hand over every single one. There is nothing wrong with having the loot chests open from just one angle. It means you actually have to figure out how to get to some of them, adding an additional challenge, no spoon feeding or short cutting. They don't need longer half lives either, you just need to be patient and let your entire team get to the loot chest before you open it, like everyone else does. You have 20-30 seconds before it disappears, that's plenty of time if you wait for everyone in your group to get up there. Loot chests, shouldn't be a way to get gear drops, it would literally break the way that players grind for gear. All they would do is fight for chest, spawn camp them, and make it virtually impossible for people to just stumble across them exploring. So no, DO NOT make the gear better in chests. And there doesn't need to be more glimmer in chests, you get around 100-150 glimmer per chests. Plus occassionally you can get an item that you can turn in for 200 additional glimmer. Again, if you made it so that the best way to farm glimmer was from chests (it might be the best way now, but your idea would take it to extremes) then all anyone would ever do is farm chests. Which again, would completely break the game. 7. Mini-maps are completely unnecessary with the radar. If you learn how to use it properly then you'll do fine. It detects enemy locations, and keeps your objective on the compass. A general map that you could bring up and only shows what you've explored so far (in very general terms) would be find to help people get their bearings, but it doesn't need to be specific and detailed at all. This game is about exploring unknown territories and finding your way in the Wild. No having your hand held while you do it. 8. I do like this, I always have to ask my friends which ship is theirs, it would be nice if their names were associated with the ship they have. 9. I don't think they could make it to where you spawn directly on top of them, but I know you can can spawn fairly close to them at certain spawn points throughout the area. I think you're wanting more of these options. It isn't a terrible idea, but if it doesn't happen it won't break the game. 10. Inventory is private. It shouldn't be accessible by other players. I don't think any game allows this. If you want to see what your buddy has, have him send you a screenshot. Its a workable solution. If they were to keep item levels always visible it would need to be less noticable in my opinion. Basicially think of the "Level Requirement" notice as a "Requirement Not Yet Met" that will disappear once it does. Showing how much glimmer gear is worth and what other items you might get from it would be impossible because it functions off RNG. If you're that worried about it maybe that could implement a range of values and items that the piece of gear could be dismantled into? Seems like a decent solution. I would be okay with a notice for dismantling an exotic or legendary. Accidents do happen and it would suck to lose out on one of those because you happened to look away from the screen at the wrong time. Either that, or have the dismantling process take longer based on the rarity of the item. That way you'd know if something was up because its taking so long. As far as knowing whether you have a piece of gear and how many, its very unlikely you'll have exactly the same piece of gear of anything uncommon and up. They have different stat additions or abilities even if they are the same model, besides, our inventories and vaults don't hold so much gear that you should be drowning it in. And it is all rather organized already. These are my opinions on your opinions of how this game should be. I agree with a few, but I believe most of your ideas are flawed to some degree.
