This forum post is a compiled database of what I have viewed from the community and what I personally think can improve the outlook on Destiny as a whole. This will be a moderately long post, so if you are looking for a specific topic they will be in all caps. VAULT OF GLASS: Needless to say since the new update with the raise of legendary and exotic gear, the old VoG weapons and armor even the raid itself are becoming obsolete in the damage and armor ratings category. The solution that a few friends and I have thought of are to raise the VoG to the new standards for the armor, weapons, and required level. Make the two difficulties for the raid level 30 (Normal) and level 32 (Hard), do what you did with the new raid and make the helmet available in normal but hard to get compared to hard mode. FACTIONS: I have quite a few thoughts on factions, some of which could be fun if implemented into the game. Turn the "Event" room into a new faction room that is open at all times. Have a faction that is identical to Eris, however make them Vex themed for the VoG. Have them give out bounties, sell ascendant materials for glimmer and blue polyphage and whatever is the vex equivalent to Eris's requirements along with heavy and special ammo synthesis, also give them vex themed class item that do not look like the raid ones (2 of each class just like Eris) making there be 3 vex themed class items in the game (just like the hive 2 purchasable and 1 obtained trough the raid), 3 vex themed shaders, and 3 vex themed emblems for purchase. The name of this faction could be "Followers of Kabr" and the NPC could be holding Kabr's Relic like Knights would back in medieval times where they had their hands resting on the top of their shields while they conversed with people. Then faction symbol for them could be Kabr's Relic. Have the Queen and Iron Banner faction available at all times. These faction could liven the game up a bit. The Iron Banner can be for the Hardcore PvP players, so they no longer have to deal with "Bad" teammates. I will go into more detail about Iron Banner and Queen Factions in the game type section. GAME TYPES: Have two play lists for Crucible one for Hardcore Players (Iron Banner) and one that is just normal Crucible. Swords of Chaos (kinda like griffball from halo): -1 relic of Kabr in the middle of the map -Everyone spawns with a Hive Cleaver and no other weapons (so you cant drop it or switch to a gun) -Disable the ultimates on the Shield and Sword -10 points rewarded to a team per second that a team mate holds the shield -1500 points to win which means the games take roughly two minutes if you hold it the entire game Pike Racing: -Pikes are set at a set speed and boost amount making this fair (due to the fact that not everyone has the vault sparrow) -Disable the guns on the pikes so you can't kill the drivers -Make the race tracks have those explosive barrels so people can still die by ramming them -Make the races consist of a 3 lap to win system -Force people to be on a pike (say you blow up then you respawn on another pike where you died) -Do not allow people to exit their vehicles (so you can't just get off and kill everyone) Hold the Line (kinda like firefight from halo): -Found in the Vanguard Playlist -Defend an objective that is of importance to either the Queen, Vanguard, Crota's Bane, or Followers of Kabr Factions against endless waves of enemies -If the object is blown up then you lose -See how far you can get -Fireteam of you and 5 friends or 5 randoms -Every 10 waves is a Boss or a group of difficult enemies -Rounds get progressively harder -Between each round you have 30 seconds of breathing room, but you can skip it by having the whole team pull out their Ghosts to ready up There are a few other game types that are talked about in this link and I feel they would fit quite nicely in the game: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/83021418 WEAPONS: A friend and I have been working on the idea of a sword that can be equipped in your Heavy Weapon Slot. The swords would not have an ultimate and would work off of an energy regen system (like Ice Breaker). The swords work just like the Hive Cleaver (without the ultimate), they can do 10 swings at full charge. Light attacks (R1 on PS & Right Button on Xbox) take 1 swing from the counter. Heavy attacks (R2 on PS & Right Bumper on Xbox) take 2 swings from the counter. 1 swing will recharge just as fast as 1 shot recharges of Ice Breaker. These weapons cannot pick up or use Heavy Ammo Synth. (just like Ice Breaker for Spec. Ammo Synth.). To obtain a sword you must be rank 5 in the respected faction, and you must have 5,000 Glimmer and 200 Marks (Vanguard Marks for Queen, Followers of Kabr, Crota's Bane,Vanguard and Crucible Marks for the others). I came up with 1 legendary per faction and 1 exotic total. I only have the Names and a Quote on most of them, however I do have a sketch of a few in my sketch pad ready for Adobe Illustrator. Dead Orbit: Name: Fleet Passkey Quote: "Lead the fleet to safety, Guardian." Future War Cult: Name: The Praised Quote: "Show them a real war, Guardian." Iron Banner: Name: Glory's End Quote: "Lets make it Glorious!" Queen: Name: Royal Bloodline Quote: "I am your Queen!" Crota's Bane: Name: Eris's Retribution Quote: "Forged by the hate Eris holds for Crota, this is her only hope of restoring herself." Crucible: Name: Shaxx's Training Blade Quote: "Shaxx's very own training blade, why would he give it away?" New Monarchy: Name: Devastator XV Quote: "Lets take back the Golden Age." Vanguard: Name: Law of the Jungle Quote: "Make'em obey it..." This one is for the vex faction: Followers of Kabr: Name: Kabr's Solitude Quote: "He went down alone...DO NOT make the same mistake!" XUR: Xur could sell and Elemental Damage Modifier for 75 strange coins. You can only apply these to weapons that DO NOT have a elemental damage already (for example you cannot put one on Truth because it does Void damage). These modifiers can ONLY be applied to Legendary and Exotic weapons and once you put one on a gun you cannot remove it. The reason these are 75 strange coins is because you are adding a element to a weapon without one. To get the Exotic Sword that I mentioned earlier, you have to buy the bounty from Xur for 10 Exotic Shards. Then, you take the bounty to the Bounty Collector and begin you unforgiving trials to get your Exotic Sword. The reason i make this so expensive is because it needs to feel like a true exotic bounty (both expensive and unforgiving but worth it). MISCELLANEOUS: Strangers Rifle: There is only one other gun in the game that looks like this weapon and only 1 person has it. It deserves to be a Legendary. You may get this gun at the end of the game, but that does not mean it cannot be a Legendary. Everyone would have at least 1 Legendary if it were like this. To balance it out, make it so if you scrap it you only get weapon parts. So, people do not abuse it. Please give feedback in the comments.
