Okay, so I am gonna be trolled hard by the Space CoD -blam!- in this post and I will likely ignore you little twats but keep reading so you can see why.
Still reading? Good...so the last two DLC's had crap story and a few interesting maps but nothing worth salivating at. To be honest most people played the game till they had the new gear and dropped it like a rock when the next best game came out. Most might have been reeled in by Dark Below and House of Wolves when they launched, but one thing they have been missing is Socail activities. By that I mean things to actually do in the social areas, not kick or bounce a ball around or sit around and do nothing for hours on end, but actual things to pass the time when your not one upping the Darkness:
- Gambling : a card game with glimmer or loot on the board with your friends could help pass the time in leisure, maybe a tournament or two later if it gets popular.
- Dance Floor : we have a 60 second songs played on the jukebox in the hunters lounge but that's not enough to keep people there, so go out to a actual club or just watch a vid to see what club looks like and see how exciting it can be. Maybe even gives us new dance emotes so we can bring some personalized style to our characters.
- Drinking : pay a few glimmer to get a temporary boost and watch your character sit and drink, you can charge by the hour to give another use for the glmmer and give the player a boost for how ever long they sit there for all activites, including the Prison of Elders and Trials of Osiris. Not super fancy an idea, but made for the times when you just want to take a brake, now you can put that ark time to use.
- Karaoke : a private group with a few songs can make you stay online all night long with a song in mind, just give us a stage and the right music lyrics.
- Bathrooms : you drink a lot, might need to go...not like there is one anywhere else, what you gonna go in your fancy clothes?
- Pool : a good selection of tables, sticks, and a good eight ball set will pass the time easy, just need some spicy wings and maybe later on we could have tournaments with shaders and class items as a reward.
- Swimming : you spend all day getting covered in mud, blood, and oil and now you stink, how about relax by taking a dip in the hot tub or swimming pool with a few toys to play with.
- Soccer : we have the ball, we just need a field to play.
- Social Outfits : Cause you wouldn't wear armor to bed, why not rock some style when your not cream puffing the competition for the badass of the universe award.
- Social Chat : you know so we can talk to other players...outside of parties or matches....hard to make friends when you can't talk to them. You have a mute option already, but its useless if you never actually need to use it.
- More Emotes : we have 4, try adding more and let the players decide which ones they want equipped.
Now, there is likely other ideas other people have but for this thought, I want you to take a trip to the tower and look out towards the traveler. You will see some other towers standing out in the backdrop, now in the story it says they were abandoned, but its unlikely that we wouldn't take them back before trying to spread our feet across the universe again. We could do this at another tower or multiple towers and to be honest, you could actually have a PvP map there for some 1v1 or 2v2 games and a clan hall with uniform social outfits.
Should bungie do this, we could sit down for a drink and chat about it all day, but so far they only seem to comment on people who are getting low on their shorts or dying from something.
So allow me to be proven useful; doing this will make people play the game longer but instead of actively playing or going afk, they might just sit around doing nothing, and even players who left for lack of content might come back just to chillax. Destiny doesn't have to be all about killing, but if we can't protect the innocent we should at least be able to hang out with our friends in a environment that puts us in the best light.
*There will always be mire DLCs, to which will likely have maps for PvP. I am just asking for one DLC with content that doesn't completely involve murder and genocide.
*Let me claify that I don't care if you play CoD, you play Space CoD for its PvP, and like CoD -blam!- you are in it for the killing not the story or the social experience. So if I have offended you, climb the fence and try defending the story and see how long it takes to write a similar post.
*When someone writes a post like this, where they suggest adding new content refrain from telling them to play something else. It makes you look asinine and rude, so I will suggest you leave, but you may likely argue to stay, not knowing how to retort further without looking more idiotic. So lets just avoid that nonsense and remember I want these features in Destiny, not just the ability to do them.
*I am not asking to have anything removed, so get off that horse already. Online games are about coming together to be part of a story. I want them to add content to the game to change the nature of the DLC they are providing.
I want to use this DLC to inspire Bungie to make the next DLCs profound and even life changing. Not a repeat of the same old thing with a different spin or look. When you watched the trailers did you ever think once about the multiplayer or loot? No, you saw the life blood of the game; its story and wanted to be a part of that world. I just want to bring that feeling, that wonder come back to destiny. So if I am to blamed for anything its for hoping to return something to the game that was taken away; hope.

4 Repliessee those votes for "Please no" those are the CoD kids who voted no purely cause they can't stand not having a PvP related DLC. How many people will vote yes for some actual social activities? How many people want some freaking content with flavor, flavor that doesn't sour after you get into the thicket? So far, 9 say they don't want social activities....that's 9 people who want destiny to be all about killing, murder, and loot instead of story, relaxation, and wholesome entertainment.
