I want to start out by saying that I love this game. I have been here since the beginning of Destiny 2 with some breaks the most recent was with season of worthy (which imo one of the worst seasons ever created). I played D1 vanilla and just couldn't get myself to play again after how bare bones it was. With that said everything I am going to suggest or rant about comes from a place of love and I know this game can be so much more! I'm going to break up my suggestions/rants into sections for easier readability. I can't fit everything so this will just be PvE. Let's get into guardians. [b]Light Level[/b] 💠 Grinding season after season after season just to go up 10 for GM’s has gotten really stale with the community. 💠The artifact artificial level just gets reset each and every season making it just another slog to get through for the only 2 hard activities in the game GM’s and Master raids. 💠Most things in the game the light level doesn’t even matter so grinding for 2 activities seems very taxing and again I believe most if not all of the community is over it and would like to see a revamp in some form. [b]Strikes[/b] 💠 Strike specific loot! The normal strike playlist needs some form of strike specific loot added 💠 At the end of a strike add a chest similar to raids and use glimmer or add the currency glassneedle to buy the loot (I heard that was a material used for strike loot in D1. If I’m wrong I apologize) 💠 Add a pinnacle weapon specific to strikes. 💠 Strike weapons that have more origin traits tied to strikes (or better ones than what's on them now) 💠 We need new strike modifiers, implement some fun ones from D1? Like faster super recharge so strikes aren’t just a slog to get through 💠 Or implement some randomly each week that is used in the nightfall activity 💠 Higher enemy density 💠 Strikes can be just run through we need some harder enemies implement or just add more 💠 More strikes! Removing some was a crime [b]Gambit[/b] 💠 Vault it…I know that won’t ever happen but a guy could hope 💠 PLEASE FIX THE MOTES FROM FALLING UNDERNEATH THE MAPS 💠 We never had a new map…ever please for the love of god add maps 💠 Remove the pvp element and make it a boss rush. Whoever just kills there primeval first wins 💠 Better incentives to actually play the mode 💠 Remove the boss health gating it’s just not fun 💠 In an earlier twab it was mentioned they would fix the spawn issue…that never happened please make it so when you die you don’t have to travel 5 miles just to get back into the action. [b]GM’s[/b] 💠 Remove light level requirement 💠 Contest mode is enabled anyway so just have us be set automatically 20-25 under (The leviathan public event area does this already so why not just have this a thing for GMs?) 💠 Stop being champion dependent (The Witch Queen campaign showed you can have hard content without the use of champions. This needs to come to GMs more) 💠 Artifact mods are just really bad design wise. Having restricted loadouts just for Champs is getting stale and unfun. 💠 Champions shouldn't regen nearly all their health in .10 seconds after stunning (a bit of an exaggeration but it’s so annoying how fast they regen health) 💠 It feels we get the same strikes almost every season or every other season. Can we get a better rotation? 💠 Maybe convert battlegrounds to be GM level and add that into the mix. Since battlegrounds is in the strike playlist maybe this can be an option? [b]Raids[/b] 💠 Needing 5 raid weapons to be able to craft them is a tad much. I think 3 is fine which will mean less fatigue with engaging with raids 💠 Bad luck protection needs improvement for raid exotics and now red border weapons (In the new duality dungeon there are triumphs to help the exotic sword to have a higher chance of dropping. This should be incorporated with raids going forward it’s a pretty good system (I don’t know the percent increase each one)) 💠 Give actual good experience points for beating a raid. A weekly bounty should NEVER give more XP than an end game piece of content. 💠 The rotator raids should give a pinnacle for each encounter. This will encourage players to play through the whole raid and not just the boss checkpoint. 💠 Plates and memorizing symbols is getting really old. We need something else like maybe shooting certain things in a certain order as one example 💠 More bosses like Rhulk! His boss design is truly unique in ALL of Destiny and we need more of that type of innovation. [b]Holiday Events[/b] 💠 They did a good job with the EAZ for solstice, but Festival was largely unchanged and still unfun (bugs from last year weren’t even removed for this year) 💠 Adding a holiday title is a great idea, but when part of it is running the activity 35 times that becomes excessive to the point where it’s no longer fun. 💠 Reduce some of the tedious challenges for the titles. 💠 Please change the Christmas event from cookies to an actual event 💠 Bring back the snowball mechanic from the tower and in the world activities. 💠 Having people pay $10 for an event that lasts 3 weeks and the same price as a season is just weird. 💠 The last 2 event cards haven’t even been worth getting. It would be nice to actually earn things in game rather than just buy everything 💠 The tickets you earn as a free player don’t do anything as of now. They should be able to be sold to Tess for something related to the holiday activity (emblem, ghost shell etc) [b]Seasonal Model[/b] 💠 The grid system is getting very stale. We need something that is more engaging and just the simple 9x9 grid style of upgrades 💠 Have the person of interest of the season actually be the vendor rather than some machine. To add more life to it. 💠 The umbral requirements need to be scaled back a smidge. (Needing 27 just to forge a weapon is pretty ridiculous for an activity that gives maybe 4-5 umbrella energy) 💠 Going forward, NEVER again use public events as a seasonal activity. (Matchmaking will always be best as to ensure an actual full completion) 💠 Each week please stop forcing the player to do the activity just for a minute long piece of dialogue. (Doing this ON TOP of doing even more for the seasonal activity will ensure players get burnt out and annoyed with the activity.) 💠 Make a seasonal activity that allows you to pick a reward at the end like menagerie or even sundial 💠 If you insist on making a triumph for the seal please don’t make it so we have to ruin an entire activity for other people… 💠 The last 2 seasons had weekly challenges/triumphs revolving around crafting the guns. I think these should either be removed or scaled back since the drop rates are not great and makes it so you have to grind the event more and more causing player burnout. 💠 Add more champion mods to disrupt them if you insist on keeping the champions then we need to not be as restrictive with seasonal mods. 💠 The last few seasons have felt way to similar. We need more variety and that goes with the shakeup with how activities are implemented and the vendors. Just feels like we have done the same seasonal stuff for awhile now [b]Lost Sectors[/b] 💠 Lost sector grinding for exotics is really boring and not engaging. 💠 While each day says a specific armor piece we should be able to target maybe 2-3 pieces instead of the whole list 💠 Perhaps a chest like a raid at the end to pick between 2-3 random pieces of armor from that run 💠 Perhaps instead of dropping an exotic gear, drop the engram and we can decrypt from a vendor for a piece of gear we want. It will be tied to the lost sector item of the day etc (chest, arms, legs, helmet) 💠 As it stands you can run multiple at a time and not even get anything or sometimes just glimmer. Which is demoralizing. I get the grind and rng but this isn’t a good system to try and farm specific armor especially when more and more armor is added to the loot pool Have a great week guardians! Let me know what you all think of my ideas :)
