Destiny is in Need of a Quality of Life Update (Repost)

Repost from an original that got a lot of attention, but it died over the break. I'd like to see if this post can get some attention while everyone is back. 1-10 are especially important to me and several of my friends actually. These are honest improvements that I think could contribute the the replayability of the game. Other top items I'd like to see that currently aren't on this list are: 23. Raid encounters should drop 1 armor piece and one weapon guaranteed. 24. Everyone in the raid should get an additional, drop at each encounter for each member in the fireteam that hasn't completed that raid. Players should be able to select weapon or armor for this drop. These two items go hand-in-hand with item 10. This game is about bringing guardians together, so let's do it. Original post here and pasted below: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/254851170/0/0 Top things I'd personally like to see: 1. All the Warlock glitches/bugs fixed. There are a lot. 2. Warlock melee speed addressed. 3. Farmable, weapon specific Gambit Prime Bounties. 4. Make all universal ornaments available for all Armor 2.0 pieces. 5. Ascendant Shards and Prisms from Valor and Infamy max ranks and resets. 6. More pinnacle drop sources (Maybe a weekly featured raid that rotates? Pinnacles from all dungeons.) 7. Vendor updates. 8. Better protection from duplicate pinnacle drops. 9. Reset on world drops. If we add more weapons to the loot pool, some need to go. Maybe tie tangled web armor and some of the other armor sets to a Spider destination engram. 10. An in-game LFG system. No app. Your casual player isn't going to go the the app every time he wants to try something new. 11. Number of crucible tokens gained after a match increased significantly. In fact, more rewards and incentive for PvP in general. 12. Choice between a weapon and a piece of armor from vendor rank up. The list probably goes on. Those 12 are just the top items that would affect the replayability of both PvE and PvP. Edit (Notable additions from replies. There are more below. I don't want to add every single one. Post will get too long.): 13. Bounties from orbit 14. Y1 Nightfall weapons brought up to year 2 with random rolls. Get rid of the 3 nightfall playlist and just add all weapons to strikes as strike specific loot. 15. Console performance improvements. 16. Black screens in PvP. 17. More sources for Eververse loot. Either make more sources for bright dust, or tie the loot to triumphs or activities. 18. More vault and inventory space. 19. More sensitivity options for controllers. 20. Ability to set quantity when deleting items. 21. Advanced tooltips for weapon and armor stats and similar things that give us accurate numbers of how much dmg increase one stack of rampage is for example. 22. Optional "apply to all items" button when previewing a shader. 25. (23 and 24 above) Raid clan engram should give raid rewards from the first raid you completed that week. If no raid was completed, it gives Vanguard gear.

  • Completely agree. Some of those I haven't even thought about, yet they're all important.

  • Im missing something important: REMOVE SKILLBASED MATCHMAKING! For all PvP activitys, im an average PvP player, why i get in 3 different Freelance Matches 3 unbrokens as opponents? All the other matches are also garbage. Matching like 90% of the time the same ppl even after stepping out and going back to matchmaking. When I wanna play a quick match, the game searches like 15mins for a match in quickplay/comp. The matchmaking was REALLY better in Season of Opulence and before. In Comp you had the PvE - Boomers and Newbies on the lower ranks (under 3000) and you had the Sweatlords on the higher ranks. I stopped playing PvP in Season 8 after reaching legend because the new system is just trash.

    • QOL updates in a game made to be a part of your life by becoming a chore. Gameplay loops, loot manipulation, throttling xp. Something something, polishing a turd. Futile.

      • Didn't realise how shit this game was until I tried a different mmo loot based game. Now that I'm actually being rewarded for my time I honestly can't bring myself to touch this game. I just don't see a reason too. I feel bad for the people who are in the same position I was in. Wow I wasted so much time.

          • Problem is Bungie likes to have you pay for these changes. It's why more than not, the quality of life fixes always come out with the newest paid content releases and/or used as a catalyst to sell the hyped DLCs. It's been this way for a long while now in D2.

              • [I’ll just insert my opinion on these ideas, plus any changes I think may improve your points.] [quote]1. All the Warlock glitches/bugs fixed. There are a lot. [/quote] [gotta feel bad for warlocks honestly, hopefully they’re buffed soon.] [quote]2. Warlock melee speed addressed.[/quote] [and give warlocks a OHK melee, to make things fair.] [quote]3. Farmable, weapon specific Gambit Prime Bounties.[/quote] [I feel mixed about this, as they could either make the bounties have randomizes objectives (like timelost bounties) or ultra specific and potentially tedious objectives (Like Ada-1 weapon frames).] [quote]4. Make all universal ornaments available for all Armor 2.0 pieces. [/quote] [yes.] [quote]5. Ascendant Shards and Prisms from Valor and Infamy max ranks and resets. [/quote] [I would say make it upgrade modules and ascendant shards, that way (hopefully) no one complains that getting prisms is “too easy”.] [quote]6. More pinnacle drop sources (Maybe a weekly featured raid that rotates? Pinnacles from all dungeons.)[/quote] [yes.] [quote]7. Vendor updates.[/quote] [ok my time to shine for a pretty good idea (imo). I think each vendors gear should be updated to be Y3 gear, with things like Y1 and Y2 gear being still earnable through vendor rank-ups. Things like planetary, crucible, vanguard, and normal gambit sets should also get a “set bonus” like the gambit prime armor, increasing the drop rate of resources unique to that activity or world. Oh, and make it so Amanda gives (fun) quests to get exotic ships and give Ikora some utility again.] [quote]8. Better protection from duplicate pinnacle drops.[/quote] [yes.] [quote]9. Reset on world drops. If we add more weapons to the loot pool, some need to go. Maybe tie tangled web armor and some of the other armor sets to a Spider destination engram. [/quote] [eh, maybe if each world has a unique weapon to that planet’s loot pool that you can’t get anywhere else it might work.] [quote]10. An in-game LFG system. No app. Your casual player isn't going to go the the app every time he wants to try something new.[/quote] [I personally think this would be a great way to implement a guardian bar/lounge area (for LFG purposes).] [quote]11. Number of crucible tokens gained after a match increased significantly. In fact, more rewards and incentive for PvP in general.[/quote] [and figure out a decent matchmaking system in crucible labs because player feedback is currently Bungie’s most vital tool.] [quote]12. Choice between a weapon and a piece of armor from vendor rank up.[/quote] [make sure it’s powerful gear as well, otherwise ranking up vendors just isn’t worth the weapons or armor.] [quote]13. Bounties from orbit[/quote] [more like bounties from a singular vendor so you don’t have to go see everyone when you go to the tower. Hell, there’s even a pretty good spot to put him in the game already!] [quote]14. Y1 Nightfall weapons brought up to year 2 with random rolls. Get rid of the 3 nightfall playlist and just add all weapons to strikes as strike specific loot. [/quote] [well, the three nightfall playlist allows you to have a greater chance of finding a nightfall you need to do for its unique reward, which leads me into my next point. I agree with you about the strike-specific loot, but I think that nightfall strikes should reward either a fully masterworked and powerful version of that loot or have its own unique loot that is designed to help the strike specific weapons.] [quote]15. Console performance improvements. [/quote] [this is both an issue with bungie and an issue with current gen consoles, and I’m pretty sure bungie is waiting for consoles to meet them halfway with the next gen.] [quote]16. Black screens in PvP.[/quote] [this is partially due to consoles already having horrendous load times in general, so bungie can’t completely fix that believe it or not.] [quote]17. More sources for Eververse loot. Either make more sources for bright dust, or tie the loot to triumphs or activities.[/quote] [your bright dust idea plus make the eververse loot cheaper in silver cost.] [quote]18. More vault and inventory space.[/quote] [I personally think this is only an issue for those who tend to “hoard” things.] [quote]19. More sensitivity options for controllers.[/quote] [yes.] [quote]20. Ability to set quantity when deleting items.[/quote] [or at least an “are you sure?” Warning before you accidentally delete an item(s) of legendary rarity.] [quote]21. Advanced tooltips for weapon and armor stats and similar things that give us accurate numbers of how much dmg increase one stack of rampage is for example.[/quote] [yes.] [quote]22. Optional "apply to all items" button when previewing a shader.[/quote] [I actually saw a “shaders 2.0” concept floating around, I’ll see if I can find it for you.] [for my own little addition: bring back factions, permanently or with rallies I don’t care anymore.]

                • an operation health like period for this game would be really good but the issue arrives in how bungie is gonna stay afloat while working on the game. Unlike Ubisoft they don’t have a big backer anymore who can cover for them until they can start making new content.

                • Removal of affinity from Armour - serves 0 purpose other than fake extension of imbalanced loot grind. Ensure all exotics drop with min 60 stats (ideally 65+) Ensure pinnacle armour drops with decent stats - a fully masterworked armour piece with 60 total stats (48 base) is an absolute insult. Add mod slot for exotics to equip Barrier, Overload or Unstoppable mods Quit with everything being about overpowered enemies, timers and ‘everything must be challenging’ - how about injecting the fun back Remove timed expiration of bounties Increase Bounty limit so we can carry everything rather than having to do some, collect and go back to tower to collect more

                  • Vendor updates is huge man. It pisses me off seeing eververse get updated twice per season atleast and we had the same crap vendors for years. Literally years.

                      [quote]3. Farmable, weapon specific Gambit Prime Bounties.[/quote] Good idea. As the franchise has continued to grow and get better, this is one of the things they have has gotten much better. Certainly could be applied to gambit. [quote]4. Make all universal ornaments available for all Armor 2.0 pieces. [/quote] Is it not? Genuine question because I don't care about aesthetics. Weird. [quote]5. Ascendant Shards and Prisms from Valor and Infamy max ranks and resets. [/quote] God no. First, how are you not swimming in both??? Anybody who plays at a level that would necessitate min maxing (in reality, there is no content in the game that remotely requires masterworked gear) has a ton of this stuff. Anybody who doesn't have a ton isn't doing endgame content and shouldn't be receiving endgame min max materials. [quote]6. More pinnacle drop sources (Maybe a weekly featured raid that rotates? Pinnacles from all dungeons.)[/quote] It takes 2 weeks (3 if you have awful RNG) to hit the new hard cap with the current pinnacle drops. Exactly how fast do you want to hit the MAXIMUM light in any particular season? Why bother with pinnacles at a certain point?? Just when a new season starts, we log in and have our gear automatically at the new hard cap, and we receive every piece of gear and every triumph for free. [quote]7. Vendor updates.[/quote] Is the hive mind here still pretending that vendors ever mattered??? We can go ahead and skip this one. Don't waste development time on a bunch of crap were all going to ignore. [quote]8. Better protection from duplicate pinnacle drops. [/quote] Absolutely [quote]10. An in-game LFG system. No app. Your casual player isn't going to go the the app every time he wants to try something new. [/quote] This would be Good. I've always thought just simple in game chat on consoles, especially for clans, would be great. I hate sending a message to the clan chat on the app and everyone that's on has no idea. [quote]11. Number of crucible tokens gained after a match increased significantly. In fact, more rewards and incentive for PvP in general. [/quote] If you actually play crucible, your opinions about gaming are completely invalidated. Remove crucible. It's [b][i]the[/i][/b] single worst PvP in all of gaming. [Quote]12. Choice between a weapon and a piece of armor from vendor rank up.[/quote] Sure but who cares [quote]13. Bounties from orbit[/quote] Sounds like this is coming. Good. [quote]16. Black screens in PvP.[/quote] Remove crucible. Replace with a PvP that isn't complete and utter trash from the ground up. [quote]18. More vault and inventory space.[/quote] HOW IS 500 VAULT SPACES NOT ENOUGH. WTF ARE YOU HOARDING FOR [quote]20. Ability to set quantity when deleting items.[/quote] absolutely [quote]23. Raid encounters should drop 1 armor piece and one weapon guaranteed. [/quote] God no. Wtf. My god this is what happens when cod kids pop into a multiplayer/MMO game for the first time. We could entertain a conversation about maybe being able to pick armor/weapon, but raid loot shouldnt be handed out. [quote]24. Everyone in the raid should get an additional, drop at each encounter for each member in the fireteam that hasn't completed that raid. Players should be able to select weapon or armor for this drop.[/quote] Actually a good idea. At least to be iterated upon. You're being way too generous but the premise of rewarding sherpas is great. Idk about every encounter, and every new player. That's kinda nuts, but some additional reward for sherpas is great. Maybe some kind of point system where each first player gives points that progress towards additional rewards? There has to be a way to strike a balance between being rewarding enough to be worth it but not handing out raid loot like candy. [quote]25. (23 and 24 above) Raid clan engram should give raid rewards from the first raid you completed that week. If no raid was completed, it gives Vanguard gear.[/quote] Let me get this straight. So you want each encounter to give 2 drops, plus one PER Sherpa for upwards of 7 drops for every encounter. 7x4 encounters means 28 drops from GoS, plus 1 for the challenge totaling 29 drops from GoS per character per week. But wait that's not enough, add a raid clan engram, bringing the grant total to 30'drops per week for GoS. I presume you want all of these to be pinnacle as well? And think we need more pinnacle sources? Oh and if your clan doesn't do the raid, they should get a reward for doing the raid.

                      • Love to see a vendor update. Would love to use the solstice gear (accidentally deleted a 2.0 piece). Even this the stats wouldn’t make it worth it. Saying that a vendor update is needed at this point. Idea for collection tab: static role drops of armor or guns but the cost of role said piece is like 100-300 shards and a certain amount of resources pulling it out of collections.

                      • It’s just silly how bad so many things are atm, but all Bungie is doing is focusing on pumping out new season content and EV cosmetics instead of polishing up and refining the content we already have that seriously needs it. Goes to show how well they are “listening” at times. :T

                        • A “Customization Center” at the tower where we can edit our appearance, including our guardian and armor, and do so more freely by being able to apply shaders to our entire set of armor Making it a separate UI system would help consoles keep up and not clutter the inventory screen.

                        • Good list. I heard a streamer just recently say they’re considering dropping controller support and I really hope that isn’t true. If people think controller has an edge of M&K just because of the aim assist then that’s pretty sad. I’ve played both and M&K has a sizable advantage over controller that is in no way made up for by aim assist. Try playing fabled + in comp with a controller if you think otherwise.
