Dear Bungie Claus, This is my holiday wishlist for Destiny. I've been a good boy since launch; I always say "please" and "thank you" to my Vanguard mentors, I keep my weapons oiled just like Banshee-44 says, and I revive my teammates when they fall. I'll try not to ask for anything that fundamentally changes how the game works-- no ship-to-ship combat, no sparrow racing, I'll leave it to others to cover the big topics. These are just a few things that I think would make the game more enjoyable for me: [b]1. Map-Frame Teleportation:[/b] There are Map-Frames scattered across the Tower. In fact a Map-Frame is the first one to welcome you home each time you return. I've taken a look at the map a handful of times since the game was released but the layout of the Tower isn't all that complicated so there isn't much reason for these Frames to exist apart from making friendly comments as you sprint past to visit Master Rahool. But what if they had an additional function? What if opening the map and choosing a destination in the Tower would activate a short-range teleport (the same type your Ghost uses to get you in and out of your ship) to get you there instantly? It wouldn't save a huge amount of time but it can be tedious running from the Speaker to the Shipwright to the Vanguard to the Vault. [b]2. Tower Rain:[/b] Something has been bugging me since the first time I played Destiny. Where do all those darn puddles in the Tower come from? They are all over the place, and yet I have never once seen it rain on Earth. It rains on Venus all the time, why not in the Tower? While you're at it, maybe a little snow for Christmas? [b]3. All Inventories Accessible Through Vault:[/b] I've heard a few variations on this idea but this is the one that makes the most sense to me. When I am accessing the vault with one character, I want to be able to access the inventories of my other characters as well. I say this in the interest of streamlining a process that already exists; there is nothing in the game that prevents me from transferring a weapon from my Titan to my Warlock, and that is as it should be. The problem is the number of steps it takes. Let's say I log in as my Warlock and realize I left the gun I need with my Titan. I must now: log out of my Warlock log into my Titan go to the Tower put the gun in the vault log out of my Titan log into my Warlock go to the Tower get the gun from the vault go to orbit realize I forgot to get today's bounties and go back to the Tower, etc... If there were a way to access the inventories of my other characters it would eliminate a lot of those steps and the frustration and wasted time that goes with them. [b]4. Faction Rep Viewable:[/b] It would be nice if I could check my Faction rep at any time, from any place. I am by no means the first person to ask for this, so just add my name to the petition. It already flashes on the screen for a second or two when we earn some rep in the field, so I'm sure you can make it accessible in the menu somewhere. Of course, if the Map-Frames could just teleport me over to Lakshmi-2 like I asked for above, I might not mind having to visit her just to see how close I am to ranking up... [b]5. Audio Adjustment:[/b] Destiny has a pretty great soundtrack. In fact, I read somewhere that Bungie recently received a reward for it, congratulations! But sometimes, I'd like to listen to my own music while I play. Or maybe I've played that one mission dozens of times and I'm a little burnt out on that particular track. Or maybe I'm trying to eavesdrop on some Dregs to learn their language. Whatever the reason, I would really appreciate being able to turn the music volume down without muting my TV entirely. Oh, and subtitles for the aliens. That will help me learn the Fallen's language a lot faster. [b]6. Skippable Cutscenes:[/b] Again, I'm not the first to request this, just adding my voice to the litany. I know you put a lot of work into these cutscenes, but I don't need to watch them over and over again. I realize the scenes that follow missions can be avoided by going straight to orbit (which doesn't help with the ones that happen during missions) but I have to say, I didn't figure that out until I created my third character. [b]7. Ship Shaders:[/b] I'll be honest, I haven't put a lot of thought into this one, but I'd like to see more diversity among the ships out there, and I think the ability to apply our armor shaders to our ships might be one such way. [b]8. Radar Compass:[/b] Bungie, I suspect that you probably considered this during development and decided against it, but I'll ask anyway: Will you please add something to the radar to indicate which way is "North?" It would really help me find my way around if I could get my bearings more easily. I'm a terrible navigator, both in-game and in real life, and I frequently get lost. At least if I had an in-game compass, I'd know I was going the right direction. My ghost points the way if I have a particular objective but not if I'm just wandering around on patrol. Well, that's my wish list, and I hope I haven't asked for too much. Thanks for reading, and Merry Christmas!
