Here are some ideas on how to keep players engaged in Destiny by maximizing existing systems: [b]Clan Visibility[/b] Allow clans to create custom shaders that drop when clan members complete 5 Raids or 15 Nightfall strikes with fellow clan members only. [b]Skill Visibility[/b] Create custom shaders/class items that are earned or unlocked when players complete 20 Nightfall strikes, 20 raids, 1,000 bounties, collect 10 exotic weapons, find all golden chests, find all dead ghosts. This will allow those with skills to proudly show their achievements. ([i]Tess Everis could be the NPC[/i].) [b]Multiple Pathways to Maximum Light Level[/b] Here is my idea on how to diversify the gear and weapons for people who want to hit Level 32. Keep current Raid gear/weapons separate to ensure that they stay special to the player community. Create a new class ([i]I call it [u]Mythical[/u] [placeholder name] from here on out[/i]) that is possible to achieve higher levels through single player activities, but might not be the most efficient way to hit the highest level to ensure raids remain of interest. [u]Scale[/u] Common Uncommon Rare Legendary Exotic - Raid - Mythical Mythical gear/weapons opportunities unlock once players have hit Rank 5 in all 3 Factions/Vanguard/Crucible/Crota's Bane. Allow people to play remix versions of existing story missions ([i]Rogue Legacy, DmC[/i]) with random enemy spawns ([i]e.g., a pack of Fallen Walkers in place of a pack of Dregs or Hive instead of Cabal[/i]), random shields on enemies ([i]e.g., arc shields on Minotaurs[/i]), and random modifiers ([i]e.g., Lightswitch[/i]). The most difficult level would have the possibility of dropping Mythical gear/weapons or Mythical materials. This would be a more intense remix of the Daily Heroic missions. Think Daily Heroic meets Nightfall Strike meets Rogue Legacy. If you swap one group of enemies with another, you could reuse existing lines used during Public Events ([i]e.g., I think there could be a problem[/i].). To tie it into the Destiny mythos, you can blame the remix disturbances on the guardians' efforts for destroying the Shrine of Oryx or emissions from an incoming comet. Mythical multi-step bounties to unlock Mythical gear/weapons/materials ([i]similar to Exotic weapon bounties[/i]) Transmutation of existing Legendary gear to Mythical level ([i]similar to Husk of the Pit's path to Necroplasm[/i]). This would allow for more customization instead of everyone looking the same. ([i]Gun Smith could be the Weapons NPC and Eva Levante could be the Gear NPC[/i].) To unlock the transmutation, you have to complete a multiple step quest ([i]similar to The Dark Below urn quest[/i]). Trade 1000 World materials plus 10000 glimmer for 1 Mythical material ([i]Speaker could be the NPC[/i]). Trade 100 World materials plus 500 glimmer for 20 Class armor materials. [b]Bounty Variety[/b] Given the importance of bounties, it would be great to mix up the existing bounties. This eliminates the current bounty fatigue: Achieve 5 Medic/Overwatch/Uprising medals Achieve 5 Blast shield/Space Magic/etc. medals Achieve 5 Strength of the Wolf/Lone Wolf medals Achieve 5 Objectively Correct/Nail in the Coffin medals Complete Weekly Nightfall Strike without exotics equipped – [u]Reward[/u]: [i]10000 XP + 10 Radiant/Mythical Materials[/i] Complete Weekly Nightfall Strike without using class supers – [u]Reward[/u]: [i]10000 XP + 10 Radiant/Mythical Materials[/i] Complete Weekly Nightfall Strike without using Ice Breaker – [u]Reward[/u]: [i]10000 XP + 10 Radiant/Mythical Materials[/i] Complete Weekly Nightfall Strike without using Gjallarhorn – [u]Reward[/u]: [i]10000 XP + 10 Radiant/Mythical Materials[/i] * Same could be done for Raids Explore every area of a world map in one visit – [u]Reward[/u]: [i]10000 XP + World Materials[/i] Complete a bounty or mission on every world in one day Complete a “enemies are growing” event without dying Complete 10 scouting/target/scanning bounties Complete 5 Remix missions ([i]See concept under[/i] [b]Multiple Pathways to Maximum Light Level[/b]) – [u]Reward[/u]: [i]10000 XP + 10 Mythical Materials[/i] Have a heroic target elimination bounty for every story mission Do more quests and bounties similar to The Dark Below for other enemy types Have more multi-step bounties ([i]Create new exotic bounties for new and existing Exotic gear/weapons[/i]) Have faction-specific bounties that flesh out their story more [b]Holiday-Themed Gifts[/b] The Halloween theme package was great. I hope you can deliver more of those consumables. Games like Resogun deliver new packages for many holidays. The holidays don't have to be U.S.-based. Here are some consumable concepts to play with: [u]Winter[/u] - Sparrow has frost and icicles on it as well as blue thrust with snowflakes emitted when driving [u]Spring[/u] - Sparrow has moss and flowers on it as well as a green thrust with flowers emitted when driving [u]Summer[/u] - Sparrow has sun decal as well as a yellow thrust when driving [u]Fall[/u] - Sparrow has fall leaves on it as well as a red thrust with autumn leaves emitted when driving [u]Valentine's Day[/u] - A trail of hearts shed off of weapon shots or melee hits or grenade hits. [u]St. Patrick's Day[/u] - The player's screen shows the world in various shades of green and opening chests have a gold color instead of blue. [u]Easter[/u] - World materials would be replaced by pastel Easter eggs. They still would give you the proper world materials. [u]Cinco de Mayo[/u] - Sparrow has 1862 decaled on it and thrust is red, white and green similar to the Mexican flag. [u]Flag Day[/u] ([i]for respective countries[/i]) - Sparrow branded with the national flag [u]Independence Day[/u] ([i]for respective countries[/i]) - Sparrow thrust could emit fireworks * It would be cool to celebrate other nations' flag/independence days. [u]Chinese New Year[/u] - Sparrow has the appropriate year animal decaled on it and emits fireworks [u]Duanwu ([i]Dragon Boat[/i]) Festival[/u] - Dragon Decal on sparrow [u]Guy Fawkes Day[/u] - Player character has Guy Fawkes mask on I hope you find these ideas helpful.
