Hey Bungie, Setting aside all the lies you told us about bringing underperforming weapons/abilities up instead of nerfing the good stuff and also telling us to play how we want even though you always nerf the stuff we do play with or force us to have certain load outs because of stuff like champion mechanics and bounties, I would like to talk a little about what many of us in the community actually want. Also I will spare you the long winded attempt at justification for these wants/needs and instead do a bullet point style wish list. Besides I think the reasons for these wants are obvious. Fun. Granted this “Cut” won’t be as impressive as Smiths book on why we are wrong and he is right but I’ll try nonetheless. There’s more than what’s on this list, but if I added everything we wanted it would be longer than all of LS cuts combined. This list is not exhaustive. Here we go: 1. Permanent and actual separation of PvE and PvP. Adjustments in one mode should never affect the other. Nerfs in PvE shouldn’t even be a thing. 2. Make us powerful again. Undo all nerfs, buff everything else to relevancy and leave us be. PvE only. PvP is a different story. Everything ought to be a viable option. Players will choose a load out based on their style. Not some silly meta. Meta needs to be done away with. 3. Stop assuming Streamers speak for the community majority. They speak for themselves and the sheep that follow them. I also speak for myself but also for the average Guardian. Pretty much everything that I’m talking about has been said before by others countless times. BTW there are a few smaller content creators that are legit. They help people either in game or by giving us news related info. The big streamers are absolute trash. Arrogant, fake, ignorant and toxic. 4. Bring back D1 style factions. 5. Universal optional matchmaking. That means matchmaking for everything. If people don’t like whom they match made with they can try again. 6. Rank up system for the Vanguard. 7. Gambit needs to go away. 8. Most of us are not sweat lords that like super difficult content. A decent challenge is fine. Most people are casuals. Like it or not. 9. Power creep lol. Yes let the power flow through us. We like it. Power fantasy feels fantastic! Balancing is overrated. This is a game. Let us do whatever we want with whatever we want. 10. Change your Director. He is a villain to this community. A worthless leader. Darkness incarnate. Notice I didn’t say fire. Just change. Perhaps he could just code or get coffee for people. 11. Strike specific loot like D1. Don’t try and change anything, just bring it back like it was and let us play. 12. Before you attempt to innovate, bring back our favorite aspects of D1 then make some new stuff. 13. Armor 2.0 elemental affinities need to go. 14. Bring back D1 style artifacts but make them not work in PvP. Or work a different way. 15. Deeper customization for our armor and weapons. Let us be able to make our gear look brand new or torn up, let us apply shaders and a single color to any part of a weapon or armor piece. Whether people want to admit it or not fashion game is end game. 16. Subclass customization like D1. 17. D1 Swords and more melee based weapons. Make them strong. 18. Make the three classes more differentiated. Titans ought to be slow but really resilient, The juggernaut. Hunters fast and mobile that rely on stealth and acrobatics, The assassin. And Warlocks should be best at space magic and tele-movement capabilities. The battle space wizard Jedi. Some of these traits exist now but they ought be more prominent. 19. Option to turn off tracking numbers on emblems. (DONE THANK YOU) 20. Be able to get anything back from collections. 21. Challenge of Elders or something similar with matchmaking of course. 22. Chroma 23. A new very large world to explore 24. Make PvE only and PvP only titles/seals. In other words make titles without cross mode objectives. Mostly done so thank you. 25. Don’t retire weapons. 26. Do away with champions. 27. Make a long immersive and cinematic campaign and real side quests. No bounty like quests. 28. No more season pass or small dlc every 3 months. Go back to doing just one big release every fall. Quality over quantity. 29. New subclasses or trees if you insist on keeping the tree system. 30. The grind needs to be turned down a few notches. Fewer currencies etc. 31. Better vault organization and ability to create folders and sub-folders. More space. 32. Be able to change elements on weapons again. 33. Be able to put mods on any gear piece no matter the DLC origin. 34. No more power grind. Pick a level for us to reach then let us reach said level fairly quickly. Power leveling and leveling in general should not be a main part of the game. Stop raising it all the freakin time. The end goal for this game ought to be gear and weapons not reaching max power. 35. Power needs to actually matter. When I’m 50 levels or even 10 levels higher then an enemy I should melt it. Also if I’m 20 levels below it should be harder but not getting one-shot harder. Higher tier enemies should have better AI, a little more damage output and slightly larger health bar. Not a bullet sponge. 36. Allow us to be 50 levels higher than the most difficult boss and let us melt it. It’s fun to be OP. 37. Internal power is better and more satisfying than external. Even though our power derives from the traveler it is still a part of us. Stop creating gimmicky buffs like the war mind cells and charged with light mods and give us more perks for our classes. 38. You need to reduce HH supernova self damage. It should not insta kill user. 39. Allow damage multipliers to stack again. 40. Allow us to name and shame cheaters. Why not? Bad people ought to be shamed for doing bad things. Perhaps cheaters would stop or at the very least cheat less often for fear of getting caught by being named. Stop protecting them. 41. Cross class infusion 42. Stomp mechanic needs to go 43. Boss immunity needs to go. 44. Stop time gating things 45. ... Screw it, there is just so much wrong with this game I could go on forever. These issues and more have been brought to your attention for years. Yet you do very little to fix them. It feels like you have given up on Destiny. Clearly we are all getting burnt out and I think you are just holding onto Destiny as long as you can until your new IP is finished. Which will probably suck as well. Sorry to be so critical but I love Destiny, at least I used to, so I want things to get better. Sadly I’ve lost all hope in this franchise. I’ll still play until something else comes along. But my passion for this game is all but spent. You need better leadership and perhaps another publisher. You going solo isn’t working out all that well. What do you have to lose by implementing these changes? Swallow your pride and do it. More players equal more profits from EV correct? These changes would probably bring some people back. Although I want EV gone I would compromise by having the game be improved and EV stay verses EV stay and the game remain as is. Ok that’s enough. Stay safe and thank you for reading.
