Holy crup! An FWC! Also, I am unsure of it. I liked Halo's weapons method, but I am willing to try out this new one

My two cents on the subject would be give both players what they want. Set up as something like this. Option 1: Auto spec- As you play you don't get an option to add skills to certain areas. They are just done as you play. Using a sniper in auto spec? Way it works is it levels it how you use it. If your taking time then firing your accuracy and damage automatically increases. Firing away all willy nilly, reload speed and fire rate goes up. etc etc. Option 2: Self spec- The player gets a notification on screen and is allowed to add to it then and there or at a lil later time. Basiclly ok im shooting a sniper. Alright i like damage increase and reload speed ill use those first. etc etc. Just my ideas on how it should be done. Also in the PvP and only in PvP all the specs get turned off automatically. This allows for fairer play across the board. Allow re-spec but in the form of in game cash or actual real life money. This allows for the poor folk or the ones who can't afford for extra money to do something as simple as re-spec in a game when they can buy food or something in reality. Both options are chooseable from the start screen when you first start and as well as in game when you hit thepause button and in settings. This way everything is as even as possible. At least in my head it is.

I kinda like the way Borderlands does it, where you have three skill trees, only enough levels (and skill points) to get through one and a half, and you equip class mods (specializations) that enhance skills you've chosen and different stats. It allows for a ton of variety within each class. Regardless, I trust Bungie and I'm sure whatever they've come up with will be better than our wildest dreams. I just wish they would tell us already! I'm incredibly impatient.

I really just want something where you can adjust your own stats and skills similar to the Kotor games or something like wow where there are specific tiers and you choose from a specific set of passives that affect your abilities or new abilities in general. I feel that it would be nice if they stuck with something simple and didn't do anything too crazy. Not because I am some super casual player but because I have personally had enough with super complex trees that don't really add much and simply are cookie cut into specs that you find online. So what I recommend is something similar to wow's current talent design because it is simple, but not only that because you can't cookie cut it and the choices that you make can be pretty big to how it affects the utility of your class and more or less relies on personal preference. TL;DR Keep it simple but have the choices that you make have a big impact on your characters utility. Just my two cents but I of course also would like to see something different. Who knows maybe they will create something new with talents.

Mass Effect 1's mixed with Mass Effect 3's. Or mixed with Fallout's or Skyrim's.

Diablo 2 master skill trees Or Fallout. Fallout is good

Here's my two cents. I understand they want to keep a simple skill system but considering they have at least a ten year plan for destiny I would hope they cater to the hardcore gamer rather than a gamer who buys the game plays it for awhile then moves on when the next big game when it releases. I hope they go with a skill tree that can as simple or advanced depending on the user. It would tailor to both casual and hardcore gamers alike. My hope is a combination of skyrim and borderlands.

If there is one then I'd like to see it most like Path of Exile's one. Great talent tree.

I'll list my hopes for the skill tree: - In-Depth. I want the ability to build my character in a way that PERFECTLY suits my playstyle. Somewhat of a combination of Mass Effect and Skyrim. - Co-Op only. Competitive should be fair ground for players new and old. (Also eliminates the "Best Build" mentality) - Effects more than combat. Abilities that effect my vehicular performance as well as maybe crafting/weapon modding. - Respec. This isn't exactly a hope, but it'll definietly be there. This is the kind of thing that would be permanent, but provides an opportunity for Bungie to have a micro transaction that would let you respec (We all know Destiny will have microtransactions) - Friendly GUI. Streamlined and easy to navigate. That's pretty much it. Everything else I want as been aforementioned.

Dear god, if this is an advancement of a Call of Duty theme, let me off at the next stop. I was hoping for customization in skill-set, weaponry, gear.... Stuff that grows with you as you move through the game. If we are going to go the next ten years attaching red dot sights and under barrel shotguns/ grenade launchers I will feel very let down by this game. I actually like Rob's idea that you level skills as you use them similar to Skyrim, a system that rewards sticking to your original build plan, but doesn't make it where you can not at least try new things.

I'm guessing at most we'll have class-specific removable attachments or perks.

I don't think WoW invented the 3 tree system but it's simple and it works while usually providing decent variety of builds.
