[I’ll just go through and say what I would add to each of your ideas since I mostly agree with you.] [spoiler][I may mention armor set bonuses a lot since I think they have been under utilized.][/spoiler] [quote][u]Destination vendors[/u]: [spoiler]Massive overhaul: [b]>[/b] Now carry Bounties 2.0 (now carry weeklies, more/new dailies, and repeatable bounties). Bounty rewards adjusted for each destination. [b]>[/b] Destination Vendors now come with ranking system. Levels 1-100. [b]>>[/b] Levels now grant different rewards based on progress ([b][u]these are examples only[/u][/b]): [b]>>>[/b]Level 10 onward: Increase gains from resources and chests. [b]>>>[/b]Level 20 onward: Access to Planetary Armor 2.0 and Y1 random roll weapons from that planet, if there are any that have yet to be changed. [b]>>>[/b]Level 30 onward: Increased damage and damage resistance against majors and vehicles at that destination. Does not apply to playlist activities, Raids, or Dungeons (including missions such as The Whisper and Zero Hour). [b]>>>[/b]Level 50 onward: Increased Legendary loot gains from Heroic Public Events, Lost Sectors, and playlist activities at that destination. [b]>>>[/b]Level 75 onward: Access to new destination exclusive weapon (stats and perks TBD). Increased chance at better gear (such as Exotics) from rank-up packages, Lost Sectors, and Heroic Public Events. [b]>>>[/b]Level 100: Small chance at receiving curated roll for destination exclusive weapon from rank-up packages. +10% XP gains when at destination, including raids, dungeons, and playlist activities. Increased chance at receiving gear with higher stats. [b]>>[/b] Flashpoints now grant bonus XP when doing daily and weekly bounties from flashpoint vendor ([b][i]does not include repeatable bounties[/i][/b]). [b]>[/b] Destination vendors now move around weekly, tied to where fast travel locations are. [b]>>[/b] This will exclude Vance (due to really small patrol area) and Spider (out of safety). Failsafe given wireless access frames to interact at other areas, courtesy of the Vanguard. [/spoiler][/quote] [alright, I agree with 98% of this, I only disagree with rotating vendor locations. I would like to add that destination armor should have set bonuses that either increase glimmer and planetary resource gain while in patrol on that world.] [quote][u]Zavala[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] Vendor Refresh (seriously, just do this already) [b]>[/b] Boon of the Vanguard may be used at any time rather than during a strike. Still requires completing a strike before using another (similar behavior to Finest Matterweave). [/spoiler][/quote] [Just make the boon of the Vanguard effect an armor set bonus.] [quote][u]Shaxx[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] Vendor Refresh (Give this man a raise). [b]>[/b] Boon of the Crucible can be used at any time, similar to Vanguard Boon. [/spoiler][/quote] [see my comment on the vanguard idea.] [quote][u]Faction Vendors[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] Behave similarly to Destination Vendors. Non-gear rewards are more general than destination vendors (Ex: 10% more Glimmer earned from Gambit matches while pledged). [b]>[/b] Loyalty is [i]character-based[/i] as opposed to account-based. [b]>>[/b] Pledging loyalty to another faction wipes the ranks of the previous faction; players will be warned upon first pledging to a faction as well. [b]>[/b] Faction Rallies [b]>>[/b] Offer a curated weapon as the winning reward. Losing Factions may purchase a random rolled variant from the winner (will always be worse than curated to encourage competition). [b]>>[/b] Lasts two weeks as opposed to one week previously. [b]>>[/b] Renown system reworked to be more engaging in all activities rather than one or two [/spoiler][/quote] [can we not have faction rank get wiped when we change faction? Also, love the faction rally changes suggested.] [quote][u]Banshe-44[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] Now sells Finest Matterweave, Rainmaker, and Pure Matterglass Lens. [b]>>[/b] These items no longer drop from dismantles. [b]>>[/b] Costs Weapon Telemetry (which now drops naturally from any weapon precision kill; rate is the same as PMG). [b]>>[/b] Consumables changed: [b]>>>[/b]Finest Matterweave has a chance to drop multiple cores, up to a max of 3. [b]>>>[/b]Rainmaker now has a chance to proc on Finishers. [b]>>>[/b]Pure Matterglass Lens now generates weapon telemetry on non-precision kills. Special and Power weapon kills increase drop chances, with heavy precision kills granting the best chances [/spoiler][/quote] [I only disagree on removing the consumables from dismantles, I would change it to reduced drop rate from dismantles.] [quote][u]Lord Saladin[/u]: [spoiler][b]>[/b] Iron Banner quest no longer required to acquire rank up packages[/spoiler] [/quote] [You missed the opportunity to suggest that the Iron Lords be made a faction, smh.] [quote][u]Ada-1[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] No longer needed to visit Ada in order to obtain Radiant Frame. [b]>[/b] Black Armory Research Frames now have a decent chance to drop Black Armory Prototype weapons alongside current drops; even smaller chance for a curated version. [b]>[/b] Forge Polymer can now be stacked up to 5. Still behaves similarly. [b]>[/b] Research Frames changed: [b]>>[/b] Research Frames now specify weapon type (Auto Rifle, Scout Rifle, Rocket Launcher, etc). Now changes daily instead of weekly. [b]>>[/b] Research Frames are now repeatable. Price costs 2 Modulus Reports as opposed to 4. [/spoiler][/quote] [Ok, I controversially disagree with that first part UNLESS we have a quest where Ada teaches us how to do it.] [quote][u]Amanda Holliday[/u]: [spoiler] Massive overhaul: [b]>[/b] No longer sells story missions (why was this a thing?). [b]>[/b] Now sells ship exhaust trails cause why not. [b]>[/b] Now sells sparrow mods that allow players to customize their Sparrows more; replaces current sparrow perks (costs TBD). [b]>>[/b] Four slots: 2 dedicated mod slots, horn slot, and trail slot. [u]Note: Mods do not stack.[/u] [b]>>[/b] Enhanced Driver- Increases Sparrow speed. [b]>>[/b] Enhanced Transmat- Instant Sparrow summon (respective perks now removed from sparrows and ghost shells) [b]>>[/b] Enhanced Maneuverability- Improves maneuverability for Sparrows, both airborne and grounded. [b]>>[/b] Destabilizers- Easier rolling while airborne. Successful tricks while airborne restore 50% of boost. [b]>>[/b] Weapon Auto-Loader: Automatically reloads weapons while riding. [b]>>[/b] Stealth Drive- Enemies are less likely to shoot you. [b]>>[/b] Reinforced Chassis- Increases Sparrow Durability. Ramming enemies does more damage to them. [b]>>[/b] Sparrow Horns- Change the sound of your sparrow horn. [b]>>[/b] Sparrow Trails- Changes the color of the Sparrow’s exhaust trail. [/spoiler][/quote] [Amanda doesn’t “sell” the story missions, she provides them for players at a rate of 0 glimmer an hour. Also, she should sell sparrows and ships again, with exotic ones being tied to a shirt quest.] [quote][u]Tess Everis (oh boy)[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] No longer accessible from Directory. Replaced with Postmaster. [b]>[/b] Bright Engram modifications: [b]>>[/b] Guarantees 100 bright dust per opening, with possibility of additional bright dust from “gifts” (Odds are TBD). [b]>>[/b] Now have 4 drops per open: 1 shader drop, 1 transmat effect / ghost projection, and 2 remaining drop-protected drops (ghost shells, ships, sparrows, ornaments, etc). [b]>>>[/b]Players who already have everything will continue to get random drops. I'm not including more because Eververse is worth its own topic. [/spoiler][/quote] [No ghost shells, ships, or sparrows from Tess. Everything else is fine.] [quote][u]Ikora[/u]: [spoiler] [b]>[/b] Now “sells” story missions instead of Amanda. Behaves similar to Year 1 minus the token system. [b]>[/b] Replaces the Heroic Story Missions in the Vanguard playlist. [b]>>[/b] Comes with respective 920, 950, and 980 modes; higher modes are unlocked by beating the mission's previous light level. [b]>>[/b] Drops will be gear specific to that mission and/or season, with previous Y1 weapons/armor being upgraded to 2.0 and added to lootpool. Higher tiers provide more/better rewards (TBD). [b]>>[/b] 950 and 980 missions will have different and/or stronger modifiers, such as Attrition or Famine. [/spoiler][/quote] [Ikora should be the one selling ghost shells imo, make exotic ones tied to a quest. Also, armor should have some incentive to get (assuming you’re saying to bring the armor she provided to armor 2.0).] [quote][u]Xur[/u]: [spoiler] Please note that this was made before Bungie announced their affinity reroll system. This was intended to be an incentive for older players to actually visit Xur nowadays. [b]>[/b] Now sells Glass Needles. [b]>>[/b] Costs Enhancement Prisms, Legendary Shards, and a lot of glimmer (actual price TBD). [b]>>[/b] Used to reroll elemental affinity on armor. Costs one for legendary armor and three for exotic armor. [b]>>[/b] Max stack capacity of 10, similar to Ascendant Shards. [/spoiler][/quote] [I like what you presented better than what bungie is doing to change affinity.] Edit: [just realized you missed Hawthorne (clan vendor), and raid vendors. Do you have any opinions on how to change those?]

Theres a sniper I rarely get from banshee but I always seem to get moving target and field prep on it :( I think it's a Suros one. All I know is its void and I believe high impact.
