Destiny Wishlist

Yes, it's true, another Destiny wishlist thread :) This time around though I'll do my best to differ this one a bit for the sake of us and, hopefully, for Bungie. Anyways, ladies (if there are any), gents, and trolls, allow me to enlighten you. At this short period of time in Destiny's development Bungie is most likely still able to make fairly drastic changes to their upcoming universe. Also at this time we, as a community, are knowledgeable enough of said universe to understand its very basics and potentially contribute suggestions that may or may not be added into the final product. Below I will organize your guys' wishes based on their popularity with everyone else. If all goes well, we should end up with a sturdy list of hopes and dreams that are convenient to look at. With no further ado, I'll start us off: [u]Massive Worlds[/u] You can travel to any place in sight. Some areas may only be accessible through the use of certain vehicles, but are always reachable. The ENTIRE City can be ventured through as well as any planet. Spacecraft should be able to travel from planet to planet seamlessly, and even enter the atmosphere. [u]In-Depth Skill Trees[/u] Upgrade/customization system with varying skill trees based on class that branch out into several differentiating strands. Like Borderlands/Skyrim on steroids. [u]Unique Unscripted Events[/u] Anything can happen at any time. Missions aren't simply go here, kill that, and be done. They should have more than one outcome at the end and be able to be handled in multiple ways (like Dishonored). Random encounters that are rare and different from any other; something that very well might only happen once. [u]Crafting and Armor Customization[/u] The ability to forge your own weapons and armors with materials of your choice and with a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and skins. Make your own designs, similar to the Forza Horizon design creator. [u]Varying HUD[/u] Imagine if helmet customization went beyond just appearance and stats. What if you visuals changed depending on the helmet and visor worn. For instance, the actual helmet itself will cause the outline from your view to change. Also, visors could be swapped out in the helmet to provide different perks. A sniper visor could enhance zoom in range while an engineer one could display more panels to keep check on equipment. [u]Land, Air, and Water Combat[/u] In atmosphere aircraft, land vehicles, boats, and (obviously) foot soldiers all fighting in either PvE or PvP. A Battlefield like warzone. [u]Four Player Split Screen[/u] Good ole four player split screen. [u]Hardcore Stats[/u] Stats available on Bnet and in-game that range from favorite weapons and personal play style to how many games a certain faction has won and everything in between. [u]Auction House[/u] Area in the City where items can be put on the market to be fought over (through bidding) by buyers.

    My wishlist is as follows: [u][b]Vast, Open world:[/b][/u] A large, open world where you can play for 50+ hours and only see about 50% of the games’ locations is something I would love to see. I want to be in a populated world, but it should be big enough that there are areas where I’ll be the only one around. [u][b]Customization:[/b][/u] Ok, here’s the big one. Customization is a big deal for me, so this should be pretty lengthy… [b][i]- Skills + Abilities[/i][/b] What I’m hoping for is a highly in-depth system in which I can pick and choose my powers, and tailor my character to fit my playstyle. I want to be able to play the same class 15 times and have different power configurations for each. This is one of the two things I want the most out of Destiny, and the second thing lies one point down. [b][i]- Armor[/i][/b] In regards to armor, I want to be able to create a unique identity for my character. Bungie so far has been promoting the whole customization aspect so far, so I’m sure there will be boundless customization options, but I have one concern. That one concern is that Bungie will tie stats to their armor pieces. If they do this, then customization is pointless. This is due to there being a “best set” of armor for any given class or build. When that happens, everyone wears the same thing. I don’t want my creativity to be limited because one of the coolest looking armor pieces in the game has horrendous stats. So please Bungie… I beg, I plead, and I implore you; do not, for the love of all things holy and sacred, tie stats to armor pieces. [b][i]- Weapons[/i][/b] As far as weapons go, most systems will be just fine for me. But since this IS a wishlist, I’ll put in a system that I’d want in my dream game. If you haven’t played Blacklight: Retribution, I suggest you go do so. The reason I’m bringing this up is because I love the system that game has for weapon customization. From the clip, to the sights, to the stock, everything is totally customizable. That system lets you tailor your weapon to fit your playstyle, which is something I’d love to see in Destiny. [b][i]- Vehicles[/i][/b] As far as vehicles go, I don’t need too much out of this category. All I want is a hot-pink Pike, and a Normandy SR-2 So that’s it for customization. Told you it’d be a bit lengthy, but again; customization is what I want the most. [u][i]TL:DR:[/i][/u] Skill Trees. Don’t tie stats to armor. Blacklight: Retribution’s weapon system. A hot-pink Pike. [b][u]Stats:[/u][/b] It would be nice if I could access my account online to see my stats. Stuff like kills, favorite weapon, class, time played, story progress; Essentially Halo Waypoint with Destiny. [u][b]Auction House:[/b][/u] I’d love an auction house. Not something I couldn’t live without, but I need a place to sell my extra loot and plunder. [b][u]Mobile App:[/u][/b] All I want out of the mobile app (which we saw in the ViDoc) is access to stats, maybe a feature to send messages in-game to someone not in-game, and access to the auction house. Nothing fantastic, just features I would want access to on the go. So that’s it, my wishlist for Destiny. I know it’s asking a LOT, and I know many of the things I mentioned won’t be in the game, but hey it’s a wishlist. I know that I can’t expect all these things to be there, because if I do, I know I’ll just be disappointed. Anyway, I’m sure whatever Destiny becomes will blow me away, and hopefully some of what I say is taken to heart by the fellas over at Bungie. <3
