(12) [b]Special Quests[/b] - I have no issue with having time gated quests for things like Black Spindle. However, it would be nice if these limited events didn’t happen exclusively on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You said you removed the Nightfall buff because it made people feel pressured to complete that every Tuesday, but then added other activities that are time gated to those days.
- My suggestion on this is to weight these special events more heavily towards Friday-Sunday if you can. This would encourage additional participation, particularly among the population that is either in school or has a traditional day job. Allow for there still to be a chance for them to appear on other days, though for those people who are not on more traditional schedules.
(13) [b]Strike Rotation[/b] - in the Vanguard and Heroic Strike playlists, I have yet to see several of the older strikes. I understand that they weren’t updated with TTK, but by removing them from those playlists, you removed a great deal of variety, especially since there is still unique gear to be found in those strikes thanks to TTK. There are 5 strikes that I haven’t seen in the rotation that would make running those playlists have more variety. It would be nice to have the following strikes back in the rotation (without having to go to the legacy playlists or choosing them manually) :
- Devil’s Lair
- Summoning Pits
- Nexus
- Winter’s Run
- Will of Crota (yes, even Omnigul)

(14) [b]Map rotation[/b] - The last Iron Banner felt like we were running only a fraction of the maps in the game, with the priority on the House of Wolves and Taken King maps. I got all three of my characters up to rank 5, but it felt like there were a handful of maps that were showing up 90% of the time with the majority of them rarely showing up at all. More maps means more variety which makes it a more enjoyable experience in general.
(15) [b]Add all of the modes that are currently in as permanent options[/b]. If you are concerned that they wouldn’t be populated enough, run a test for a month or so to see if people will play them.
(16) [b]Dedicated servers[/b] ([i]there has to be at least one pipe dream, right?[/i]) - Dedicated servers would help most in PVP (and reduce cheating) , but they'd also help with consistency in PVE. It would be expensive, but they'd help greatly. I saw something about Bungie potentially doing something regarding e-sports (could be a complete rumor) . Without dedicated servers, though, I don’t see how that would go over well. Additionally, making it so that one person’s connection can negatively impact someone else’s experience is problematic.

(17) [b]Statistics on the website[/b] - I'm not talking individual statistics, but rather general statistics for the population. They've been given out in limited quantities in the past and this would just be something interesting to see. To be fair, the heat maps that have been in the updates since Trials of Osiris is part of what I'm thinking of, but I'd like to see things like "Most popular weapons" for both PVE and PVP with a ranking of the top 10 of each category (primary, special, heavy) , both with and without exotics included (with percentage of use include- . It would also be nice to see things like how many accounts were active in a week or what the distribution of players is, both across platforms and as far as classes and levels go. This is a personal thing and I'd just be curious to see various trends.

[b]As before, I like the game. I have put a ton of hours into it and likely will put a lot more into it over the next year (with a couple of exceptions - I’ll likely take some time out for Fallout 4 next month and Xenoblade Chronicles X in December) . I’m not trying to complain, but these are things that, in many cases, seem to be things that should be relatively easy to implement, but that could positively impact the game and make it into one of those games that could be considered a classic.[/b]

I agree with most of the post. although I don't want weapons parts drops from engrams ever. an increase when dismantling would solve the problem straight away. I've been running Poe just to get coins and weapons parts because year one weapons still break down into 5 to 7 weapons parts. the weekly for coins should also be brought back to give people a clear way to get coins or even if the first 3 heroics you do a week guaranteed 15 coins. there needs to be private matches on pvp matches disable the quests lines for it and let clan member or even just friends shoot each other then dance all over there orbs.

^^^^ All of this, especially the private PVP.
