My Destiny Opinion/Suggestion Thread

Let me start by saying I love this game. I spend at least an hour or two, if not more, every day playing it. I know it’s obviously not perfect and no game is, so I figured I’d throw out my own personal ideas for things I’d like to see added/changed in the game. Feel free to add your own thoughts. More Weapons – I think our current batch of weapons was an excellent start. I’d love to see some new weapons or new twists on weapons added in the future. Maybe a hand cannon that fires grenades. Maybe a LMG that fires incredibly slow moving rounds that do massive damage. Who knows, but I think making different and unique weapons would add a lot to the game. Elements – I like the way the elements system has started out. Match the element to the enemy’s shield to do extra damage and break it down. I’d like to see this system expanded upon. Maybe even have the high level pvp gear have a shield against a certain element and a weakness to another. This also leaves the door open to added more elements as the game goes on. Game World – I think we can all agree that Destiny has some gorgeous environments. At times the game world can feel a bit dead. Public events and hordes are great additions to make the world feel like a living environment, but I think more needs to be added. I’ve toyed around with the idea of world bosses, but maybe even just extra hard hordes that require multiple guardians to fight off. I want to see the social aspects of the game world thrive, but in order for that to happen players need incentive to come together. PVP – I see a lot of people that don’t seem to enjoy pvp. Besides the occasional lag that ruins a round for me, I love pvp in general. Right now, Salvage is my absolute favorite game mode. I’d love to see it added as a permanent mode, but I understand why Bungie may want to hold off on that. That being said, I think we need more modes. Capture the flag is a popular one I’ve seen. I’ve also seen a user on this forum (sorry I don’t remember which one) suggest a Sword Of Crota mode which would be similar to other juggernaut modes. One mode that I’d enjoy, that I’m pretty sure would be a 50-50 split of people liking it, would be a playlist without supers. I do like supers, and I think they’re a unique feature of the game, but I think we all have that annoying moment when an awesome killstreak gets ruined by someone throwing up their super through a hail of your bullets. I’d like an escape occasionally. There’s a lot of potential for added pvp modes, and I can’t wait to see what comes. Missions/Strikes/Raids- I’ll start with the Raid. VoG is absolutely awesome. So many unique gameplay elements that almost makes the raid it’s own separate entity from the game itself. Keep this up in the future, seriously the raid is great. I personally don’t want to see raid matchmaking, I think too many problems would arise, but I’m sure there’s a lot of people who want that. As far as strikes go, I’ve found them to be pretty enjoyable overall. When I was still an appropriate level they were a good mix of challenge and fun, and Bungie has done a good job of increasing the strike rewards to make them more worth playing. In the future, I’d like to see more gameplay elements added to strikes. It doesn’t need to be as deep or diverse as the raid, but something other than the usual defeat the waves would be cool. Last up, missions. The story missions were easily the most forgettable part of the game for me. It’s sad though, because reading through the grimoire has been hungry for more information about the story. Theres so much good stuff there, and I wish more was included in the missions. Also, vary up the mission a bit. The Sword of Crota mission was EASILY my favorite mission in the game. It wasn’t the most complex mission or anything, but it was fun and different. I’d like to see more missions that are unique like that. Edit 1: On a side note to weapons, I'd like to see another tier of weapon rarity in the future. Something actually rare that can't be obtained through purchasing/engrams. Basically an outrageously lucky drop or raid drop. I just want that "wow I have a super rare gun" feeling I’m sure theres some stuff I’m forgetting, so I’ll edit this post as I remember. Feel free to respond or leave your own suggestions below. I’ll add the ones that I think are cool to the post.
