I came across a post last week regarding character roles and building your legend. They made a good point saying that if we as a community wanted something bigger than what Bungie has given us, then it would be up to us to lay down the foundation. I firmly believe that change can only be brought about through majority support. B!tching and moaning about yada-yada-yada does nothing. If we find a way to change the overall feel of the game or how we play it and it catches on ... Bungie HAS to follow suit.
In this case, you mention wanting the play and feel more like what you believe your Titan was designed for. Though, I don't feel the same ... I do feel that my vision of a Titan is perfect. I like your idea of having a Titan-only spot where Titans meet. Titan-only bounties. To look even further/bigger picture; they could require a 3-Titan fireteam and be matched up with a 3-Warlock/Hunter fireteam .. or even a 2-Titan fireteam that gets matched up with a 2-Hunter/Warlock fireteam for specific missions. During these missions, each class has separate objectives that lead to the final boss.
Obviously, this isn't exactly something that the community can control, but ... if we plant the seed in some form of this or other, it will catch on.

This sounds like a cool concept. Split missions for two fire teams culminating in a massive coop boss battle!

..exactly. Imagine being dropped onto Venus with your fellow Titan, seeing 2 Hunter's dropped elsewhere on the map and 2 Warlocks... ...then after completing your 2-man objectives (which may or may not be dependent upon the other fireteams completing theirs), all 6 of you converge at the Black Garden and each of the Minds is active at the same time. However, each one is more susceptible to a specific class super. ...easier said than done I'm sure, but I think they could do it.

Edited by Filthy Ramhole: 11/17/2014 4:54:37 PMSee this! Yes! I'd also love for factions to become involved, Say for a week if you're a titan and you ally with New Monarchy you get bonus XP toward them, special missions only available for Titans that centre around the whole "Defender" styler. Hunters that week are allied with FWC and gain the ability to find more loot, but are locked out from areas of the tower as a result. Frankly this game is so full of potential but right now its just a grind with bland charachters and weapons. EDIT: I know it might sound a bit like nerfing, but maybe add bonuses for classes using weapons in these missions that are akin to how it should operate. Hunters traditionally would use Snipers and Scouts, Titans Shotguns and Autos, and Locks Fusion and Pulse. So a section where hordes of enemies come running, the Titan would get a bonus for whipping out the MG and mowing them down. Same as when theres enemies in the distance the hunter could pick several of them off to thin the numbers. I mean, today we did the Nightfall strike (Archon Preist), and the bit at the gate where the Vex spawn in 3 waves ending with Hydras. And my 2 mates were Titans, and I was a hunter. So sitting back right at the start, i used my Arc Sniper (with Arcburn on) to pick off enemies, and my titan mates used their void punches to drop the shields on Minotaurs and then drop back, allowing me to snipe the minoutaur. That to me is what bungie should focus on; creating moments of teamwork that actually allow classes to play to their strengths.

...nice. I like the idea of furthering the role of factions like that. I will admit, this game is a grind right now ... I have faith in Bungie. I mean, take the progression that we witnessed in Halo. I feel like this is much of the same ... build a solid foundation for a game with room to grow and just keep your ear to the street and always improve. ...even as I read through the forums, I'm sure many of the ideas like this one have been talked about among the Bungie team ... they're just doing their due diligence. I laugh every time I read a post about "give me this, give me that .. you fixed this, but not this?" or "this game is incomplete..blah blah blah." This game is incomplete because their plans are bigger than any one of us can imagine, but laying the foundation is key. ...back on topic - absolutely right that strengths and weaknesses for each class, sub-class should be focused on and I would defintely like to see more team-based strategy-style bounties.
