How to get more players to play Destiny or come back to it.
Dear Bungie and other guardians.
I will make myself clear that this post is just personal opinions of what I want to see in Destiny. I am fully aware that people have other opinons. I made this post because I played Destiny since almost day one and until black armory in Destiny 2. For some reasons I stopped playing and I am not sure I know excatly why. I miss the game but I still dont play it and here I am sitting wondering why. Lets see if I can find some reasons or things the game should have more of.
Firstly I must say forsaken is probably the best dlc I have ever seen in a game. Destiny 2 and the raid lairs was just a week of hype and its was over for me. It felt like the grind was not very rewarding, the raid had a lot of bugs and I did not like the mechanics at all. I still managed to play it until forsaken. A clanfriend, after a clanfriend and after a close friend left the game because it was simply not fun. The crucible was unbalanced and if you didnt have the skill there was no reason doing it. Until forsaken..
Forsaken made a lot of friends come back to the game. The level grind, content, missions, endgame, cruicible, gambit and raid was beautiful. Everything was beautilful. Still after some time people stopped playing. Is this just the way of playing games now, people gets easier bored? Or can the game developers do even more to keep the bored players or keep players who does not have the best skills?
In my case I must add since players in my clan left I lost interest in the game. Still why will people leave a great game in the first place? Here are my theores, opinions, reasons and so on:
Mainly I think the raid made a lot of my friends leave the game. The raid has become a place for very coordinated teams. The communication needs to be perfect and requires a lot of everyone. I remember we didnt have the best team but still managed after some time. Leviathan had to few bosses and the mechanics was very "unreliable". RNG killed you in so many cases. It was not fun and people just wanted to get it overwith. The last wish on the other hand was beautiful, had bosses and some interesting mechanics. Still I think the raid was a bit hard none in my guild was 550. I enjoyed watching it on streams. The raid was suited for well coordinated teams and tryhards. I dont want to take that joy from players who are that in to the game, but what of everyone who is not fast learners. They gonna need to practice for a long time to get it. In my case I had to find randoms and I did not enjoy the raid. My point is why not make different raids with more difficulties? It does not need have the best loot but I just want to raid a saturday evening with my friends without beeing super stressed and focused for to many hours. Maybe add more fun raids than well coordinated ones as well? Its gonna take who know how long to do last wish with not that coordinated players. At least the raid was beautiful to watch even it took me a long time to complete. I still miss the raids in Destiny 1, everything else is better in Destiny 2 after forsaken.
Keep the content, maybe add a weapon, or something each week. Focus to have small new things every week so people dont lose their interest to easy.
Add a fun mode in Cruicible, for example gungame. I would enjoy playing gungame with friends or without friends. Keep improving gambit it is a lot of fun. I like the idea of pve and pvp in one thing. Also try to figure out something to replace trials of the nine. PvP should and always have a mode for the experts.
I would love to see the possibilty to decorate your ship like in warframe. Imagine flying around like they do in the new game anthem. That looks very interesting. I must also say I enjoyed more when you could customise your character more with perks. Try differents combinations and perks on weapons makes more sense to me.
The forsaken was a big step in the right direction but I would love a destiny where the raid is hard and fun. Not to complicated and very well coordinated teams only. (A bit hard to be precise) Its a bit more of a understanding. Maybe add a practice session where players can practice different faces seperately.
Add small things each week to keep the interest between big things like raids, patches, expansions or dlcs.
Add more funmodes like gungame in PvP. AND PvE???
There is so many other things I would like to comment but I gonna soon stop. I love the titles you can get but some of the steps are to RNG. I love the farm and relaxing in the Blind Well.
AT LAST: You did a great job with forsaken to get people back. Please do more to get the bored and not that skilled players come back and to stay back. Make it easier to understand and complete parts of the raids, more content where you decorate ship, your own guardian. Its perfect while you are waiting for players to come on.
This is only some ideas and you might already considered some of it. I just miss the game and hope I will find the motivation again after almost my whole friendlist stopped playing. Its not that easy to just find 3-6 players you enjoy playing with.
