[u][b]A Guide To Changing Your Destiny[/b][/u] I would start with introductions, but no one cares. To start off this game needs to be broken up into two categories the PvP aspect and the PvE aspect. Personally I enjoy both. I take no side with either or and will just post improvements that can be done to each. Bungie has created an absolutely amazing foundation in terms of mechanics and it’s time for us to work upon and expand it. I will do my best to give credit where credit is due. If you notice that I have not given credit please feel free to post or message me so I can fix this error. [u][b]PvE[/b][/u] [b]1. Horde/Survival Mode[/b] a. Add this and longevity/replayability is therefore increased. Read the link below for interesting ideas. (Just think N@zi zombies) b. Have wave after wave of (insert enemy here) come attacking you. Have buildable barricades that your ghost can help form. Each time you complete a certain amount of waves better and better items can drop such as shards for the early levels coins for higher levels and finally weapons and gear. Make sure to include bosses every specified wave or so. c. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/70622147 d. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/74926471 [b]2. Space dogfights[/b] a. We have ships, soon shaders for the ships, were in space, we want to fight in space! b. You can have unique encounters such as finding a derelict station but needing to fly through an asteroid field while fighting off vex ships ect. [b]3. Planetary events[/b] a. This guy explains it quite well b. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/67067098 [b]4. Seasonal Tower[/b] a. Constant visible changes make users feel as though a game still has life. That things are still moving forward. Even if changes are being had behind the scenes; giving users something different gives them hope. b. Let us enjoy Christmas together with a giant tree by where the iron banner is, have a menorah on one side with a Mkeka on the other side. Let us get a sleigh sparrow with a giant red nose and a Santa hat. Have it snow on earth and give us a special mission of saving Santa.(Maybe not that) It may be random but even in real life wars they still celebrate holidays. [b]5. Separate PvP/PvE updates[/b] a. This is in terms of weapons nerfs and buffs to weapons. Many unforeseen things can occur when trying to meld the two as you have seen from the vexmytho nerf. Make sure to apply it first in PvE or PvP then the other or just in one and not the other if it is not necessary. [b]6. More Strikes/Raids[/b] a. Only 1 strike and 1 Raid for a dlc is not much at all. Release a bundle dlc with 3 raids and 5 strikes and that will satisfy people for quite some time especially if you have it that you need to complete the first raid because you need that gear for the second and then same thing for the third. This will give some breathing room for you to make even more content updates. [b]7. Sparrow Races[/b] a. All you need is checkpoints. One example is whoever is in your fireteam will automatically begin a race when you pick up a mission in patrol (that is for a race) whoever completes all the checkpoints wins ascendant material coins ect. Or expand it even more making a specific area of the map just for racing. Especially with the new trick sparrows you could earn point for pulling off stunts. When you reach a certain score you get bronze silver or gold and a reward. [b]8. Skip Button[/b] a. This is a simple addition especially with the limited cutscenes. When forced to run through the same mission for the 100th time we would like to be able to not watch the cutscene for the 100th time as well [b]9. Upgradable Vault Space/Bank Space[/b] a. After all the raid equipment, iron banner equipment, and having multiple characters and their exotics there’s only so many items we can have at once. With the upcoming dlc we simply will be out of space and potentially be forced to dismantle some of our prized equipment. Even if it cost glimmer, coins or some other form of currency it would still be of much benefit. b. Random other thought let us carry some equipment in our ship/let us transfer items directly from the character select screen so that we don’t have to view 5 different loading screens before we can finally start our mission [b]10. Vanity Armor[/b] a. Everyone wants to feel like a special little snowflake. Now you can give them that opportunity. All that’s needed is another page specifically for vanity items where you could equip unique items found through raids, iron banner, chests ect. But not only that you could equip a piece of armor that you have normally like an exotic legendary or even white and only the design is showed on your character while the actual stats are from the armor you have equipped in the normal slot. [b]11. Raid Trading[/b] a. At the end of each raid you have people getting multiples of armor or weapons that they already have while others are just getting shards, ships, or shaders. An opportunity for end of raid training would be extremely helpful. Not mass trading but a closed circuit of trading only available to those who have done the raid together. b. Keep in mind to patch/not allow people to join right at the end of the raid so that they can get the trades because we know people would jump on that like white on rice. i. A potential method would be have it tally each checkpoint and make sure that all checkpoints were completed prior to that person being allowed to trade. [b]12. Raid Tokens[/b] a. Raid Trading not working for you because that would reduce the amount of time people spent playing your game due to RNG. Well here’s the alternative and possible better approach since people then would only be able to acquire raid items and not exotics easily as well. Each time you complete a raid you acquire a set number of tokens that once you acquire a specified amount you could turn into a vendor at the tower for raid gear that RNGuesus didn’t drop for you. b. To ensure people are completing the whole raid and not just parts of it you could have a coin fragment drop during each checkpoint and have them merge at the end of the boss battle [b]13. Tower Barber/Plastic Surgeon/ More Character Customization Options[/b] a. People want to look pretty and be unique. Give them that option. There’s plenty of space in the tower to add areas like this and you can unlock different designs by accomplishing certain tasks. You could acquire metal from killing certain vex to get an awesome exo design ect. (Longevity Replayability) [b]14. Ghost Skins[/b] a. Self explanatory. There’s already one for the special edition one why not find some randomly. Have maybe a green one with wolves on it for iron banner, a glass one for VoG ect. [b]15. Quick Select Buttons[/b] a. Have it so that you can assign specific items to your d-pad such as ammo synthesis or weapon/gear swapping. b. I already switch out my heavy weapon before heavy ammo appears and when I’m a titan I switch to my saint helm in the raid when the conflux appears. Having a quicker way to do this would make the game much more streamlined [b]16. In-game Grimoire/Library[/b] a. The lore is extremely interesting, but having to go to a website is just atrocious. Create an in-game library where you can view video logs, audio logs and read books (grimoire cards) to learn all about what is going on. [b]17. Exploding loot bosses[/b] a. After we kill a boss make that moment when we receive our loot more epic. Have it drop from their dead corpse and have us run to pick it up. It’ll be much more memorable then having it at an end game screen. [b]18. Planetary outposts[/b] a. Have it so that each planet you go to has a mini tower whether its just a bunch of tents and one or two vendors or a mini town that is slowly building up after the destruction of the heart of darkness. [b]19. Firing Range[/b] a. Have a mini game/practice mode where you can test out new weapons and at the same time compete for the daily high score. As I said before the tower has plenty of room. Even add it in a basement if you must. [b]20. Exotic Exotics[/b] a. Add more exotic bounty exotics or drop only exotics like the mythoclast b. We need more special snowflakes out there [b]21. Easter Eggs[/b] a. What you did after getting rid of the loot cave was awesome. Little easter eggs such as a frozen hive wearing a party hat on Pluto is what gives your game uniqueness and personality [b]22. Proximity Voice Chat[/b] a. Were getting closer with fireteam chat in strikes and in crucible. Proximity Voice Chat is where the real life in this game will be born. Meeting people randomly while doing a public event or just farming mats and not having to dance point and wave for them to open it. [b]23. More Cutscenes[/b] a. We've seen the beauty that your game can create so really showcase it. b. Why when we first started the VoG did we not see the epic cutscene of kabr fighting off the vex, creating the relic with the last of his energy and hoping that what he has done is enough to take down the monster that is aetheon. [b]24. Last but not least more story content/missions/planets(Variety)[/b] a. Self explanatory we want to explore our solar system. Have epic battles. Create our legend. We don’t want the same thing rehashed over and over c. This is a good list of ideas on how to change things up i. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/75151288 d. I will expand upon this as necessary. e. This should probably be in the top tier of priority Post your ideas below and Ill add a part two for the PvE side. [b]P.S.[/b] #Deej If you could let us know your listening and relaying these types of ideas that would be great [b]Link to PVP additions:[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/80304156]A Guide to Changing your Destiny (PvP Edition)[/url]
