[b]OP Comments:[/b] Thank you all for the support and feedback we've had on this post so far! I never expected it to be trending. The suggestions are also awesome and further feedback will be appreciated and maybe some of the folks over at Bungie could see this, who knows, they may even consider it ;) Changes to "overpowered" shells have been made. With the Taken King it is no surprise that we are getting an abundance of new ghost shells, but why not give us an incentive to revisit and encounter some of the older bosses from Destiny and actually get something worthwhile from killing the boss themselves, I present my list of Ghost Shell suggestions along with the perks that they would provide, the choice perks being the ones that the individual must decide on which they want to use. The appearance of these ghost shells will be similar to that of the boss, for example, the Sepiks Ghost Shell will transform the outer layer of the ghost in the purple shell of a servitor and will glow purple. These perks would not be set in stone, if Bungie were ever to implement these ideas, i'd image they would decide the perks, my chosen perks are just for people to visualize the sort of benefits they would have and how it would add more incentive to these old encounters. Also, please [b]feel free to suggest your own[/b] changes to the perks and even [b]come up with your own[/b].
