There is really no pride in characters. Everything you see you can purchase. There is only a set amount of materials that everyone can buy. As others have posted we need to be able to customize our characters. 1. Weapons and Armor. I have seen others post about this and I feel like it would create a huge gap between the "Eyes up" guardians and the Vanguard Champion guardians. Step 1. Buy a common weapon base from gunsmith. step 2. Find engrams that give you a random perk (White-Body/appearance Green- Scope/Mag limit/ Basic functions Blue-Power/ better perks. Purple- Light level/ Great perks Yellow-Elemental damage/Crazy perks. Every engram would be random, excluding rarity. Then for each tree you can only use a certain amount it each engram (No 5 exotic) There needs to be a limit so they don't get to powerful. The key is that they are what you want them to be, not that they are doomsday devices. I believe the leveling also needs to be like "Husk of the Pit" You need to fight with your weapon to unlock a new perk slot. This allows you to feel very attached to your gun. You should also be able to shade it and put custom markings on it. 2. Ships and Sparrows. Yes everyone knows that you have an awesome sparrow because of the flames and cool tricks, Just like everyone else. Sparrows should be custom. Where the Dlc would give you a new drive or a new part so you still know its part of the Dlc. Same thing with ships. Each ship you get you should be able to scrap for parts and use those to build your own ships that is YOUR ship. 3. Character. We are not legend enough. Each character should be more custom then weapons and armor. The melee should be customized. Not for power and effect, But looks. So for the hunter you can shade your knife or choose how to attack with it. Warlock can choose the color and effect or look of it. Titan how to attack and effect on the enemies death. Example: Warlock, A yellow blast that looks like lighting and the enemy splits into shards when it is killed. Shaders and Banners should also be custom. This next section is more what I think would be great for the game, Not just your character. 1. The ever-changing maze. Example: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The problem with the strikes and raids is that they never change. You can memorize the path and gameplay. I can get through VOG and CE in under an hour. There needs to be a strike or raid that is constantly changing. There is no right way through, You can't look of the answer or the path. You figure it out then and there. A maze would be great, But a strike or raid where you had to defend a point/Relic would be great. Everytime you enter it is a different point and the enemy comes from different paths and with difference numbers and equipment. Something that you can never pin down. The raids now are not impressive, because you can look of the answer and run through. Another thing I would love to see is the adapting course. Only struggle is that you would need the same fireteam everytime. Everytime you run it the lair adapts to your play. The places you stand longest become overrun next time, the enemies you kill most grow in numbers and another enemy is pushed in to distract you. It would never get hard enough where you could not beat it, but it would challenge you every time. 2. A new land. Patrols get boring, the enemies are low level, easy to handle, missions take place here, So does everything else. You really learn the area and it becomes nothing new. There needs to be an area (preferably on venus, Jungle, rocks, Cities) That is split into three territories and is there only for bounties and exploration. There would be a smaller area for lvl 1-10, medium size for 10-20, and a large area that is for 20-30. Each area should get more complex with the 20-30 having crazy caves and tunnels everywhere, Dense jungles with multi level paths, urban areas with open buildings, and several open fields. Several enemies would spawn in different locations with varied amounts. There should be a patrol that pushed its players, not just another drive around the cosmodrome. I can tell you how many, of what, spawn at what point at what times. Because nothing changes, there is a strict order, which caused dull repetitiveness. 3. I am against ship battles and sparrow races. Ship battles would to complex and would require a lot work in ships. Both Ship battles and Sparrow races also take away from the feeling of the game, They would seem a little silly. I would love for there to be areas designed so that if you and buddies what to race sparrows you can do that in patrol. I think there should be more cutscenes with ships. 4. The little things. There are small things that I think would make a big difference. There should be a 6 man fireteam in patrol (or two or more fireteams atleast allowed to connect on the same server). You should be able to trade you massive mound of useless parts for something. There should be a setting for game volume vs. chat volume (For fireteam chat). There should be an easier way to find people who want to do raids and strikes (bulletin board). Could really use maps for patrol. I wish cutscenes would include second and third teammates. Ghost could have a little bit more to do (Allowing ammo synth or even having a little personalized dance). Larger events for larger groups. Another social hub to meet up and grab new bounties (Such as the reef or a large transport class ship recovered from the golden age). Being able to equip three+ exotics in the tower for leveling up with bounties. Items that you can customize for your clan or group. New locations (No matter how small) such as a little cover in the cosmodrome, a new jungle section on venus, a base on the moon, or completely open tower on mars. Larger areas would be great, but even just adding a new 10x10 area provides a little change to players. Every cave should not be the same. I would love to hear ideas or changes to mine from other people. This are things that I think would be amazing for Destiny, and I hope you all do to.
