Do a FFXIV and relaunch Destiny 2.0 with 3 racial storylines and unique missions until lvl 5 before converging into main storyline. ADD THE OPTION TO SKIP CUTSCENES. Core shooting mechanics is fine, although I think we could take a page from the Vita Remote Play control scheme and use d-pad up as a toggle for communication (hold down button, press A/B/X/Y or Circle/Cross/Triangle/Square for the various emotes), thereby freeing up the other 3 d-pads for other functions (more emotes, or *gasp* AMMO SYNTHESIS ON THE FLY) All classes to START WITH ALL 3 ELEMENTALSUBCLASSES. The lack of the 3rd subclass is unforgivable role-playing wise, and the funniest thing is it was clear a 3rd subclass was meant to be in all the while. Weapons - Set arbitrary min/max limits on gun specs to DIFFERENTIATE THE PRIMARY WEAPONS. To use a scale upon 10 as example: HC should have min/max impact of 4/7, 1/4 range, 1/4 stability, 1/5 rate of fire, 1/3 reload, and 6/12 magazine size (because 3 magazine size on a primary, and in A SCI-FI/SPACE MAGIC FUTURE makes zero sense). Comparatively, an AR should have 1/4 impact, 4/7 rate of fire, 5/7 reload, etc. you get the idea. Only legendaries/exotics perks can break the limit. Hopefully this makes all the 4 primary weapons more or less equally viable. You'd stick to one type because of either role-play reasons or just plain preference, not because one type is clearly better (most pulse rifles pale in comparison to Scouts or ARs) I wish I could customize my guns like Blacklight. But that's a different bugbear I don't wish to fight now. Secondary weapons should have Heavy Weapon counterparts. I'd move Fusion Rifles to Heavy as a heavy version of the Shotgun (close range high dmg buckshot). Sniper Rifles already have Rocket Launcher. Add in a melee Special Weapon. Why dual melee? WHY THE -blam!- NOT? MIssions - I don't have major issues with mission-based gameplay, but Patrol really needs more love. PUT IN A DAMN MINIMAP THAT TRACKS PUBLIC EVENTS on Ghost mode. INCREASE RATE AND VARIETY OF PUBLIC EVENTS a la Defiance which awards planetary upgrade mats, and chance for ascendant on gold. EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE MATCHMAKING, or put in some kind of LFG function in the Tower, heck just expand the invitation options will do (add in invite to heroic, nightfall, raid) so inviting randoms isn't so painful. ADD IN LVL 28 STRIKES. Loot - Tweak RNG and WEIGH DROPS TO PERFORMANCE (best K/D ratio should NEVER be screwed over, and you shouldn't get better drops for joining in last minute), a little friendly competition is good and KEEPS AFKERs OUT of the game. There are obviously loot tables since Raid gear only drops in Raid, so give players the choice to grind strikes for specific gear. DECOUPLE GEAR APPEARANCE WITH RARITY, but rather tie it to planet. Means you get the possibility of all levels of gear of this flavour if you run Venus strikes and another type if you run Mars. Same applies to weapons. If you look at the shaders there are obviously 3 colour areas, so instead of dropping preset shaders, change it to unlocking colours on a palette which we can apply to both weapons and armor in 2 or 3 areas. Frankly if you think shaders are a mark of distinction for clearing content you are mistaken. It should be the gear. This also REMOVES SHADERS FROM LOOT TABLES. No more shaders screwing your look drops. Armor should be upgraded the same way as weapons, EQUALIZE ALL ARMOR PARTS. It's nonsense to have distinctive armor salvage when Hunter armor description says some hunters incorporate Titan armor into their own protection. Also solves the issue of running 3 characters just to triple the rate of drops. I still have more to say but that's all for now. Oh wait one more thing - REMOVE GLIMMER/MARKS LIMIT. TL;DR JUST LOOK AT ALL THE CAPS
