I believe making the open world feel more "Open" it needs a few things. Add whatever you believe it needs too.
1. Wildlife:
I saw this moments ago and it got me thinking that it would make the world feel more alive.
2. Camps and/or caravans:
Adding machines like the ones from the tower to distribute missions and possibly even make minor trades of some sort possible.
3. Weather:
Changing weather would make the world seem more real and offer a new feel to the combat in roam making it feel more realistic in a way. And preferably regionally appropriate weather.
Edit: the wildlife would not be what we have today but twisted creatures from the hive that look like animals roaming the planets and moons that they inhabit.
And the camps or caravans could have guardians protecting the machines.
Apparently people take these posts as demands for extreme content changes so I'll say this. These are only my ideas for what could be added in the future at some point not for what needs to be done by release.
Please no comments stating that anyone has a bad idea, if you're not being positive you're being a hinderance.

Exactly. the open world doesnt feel alive. Its just a battle field with some caves. When i first heard about destiny's open world i was expecting so much stuff. Creatures to hunt and maybe even to keep as pets. Crazy npc's like in skyrim or fallout. Safe havens. Random mini bosses. And other openworld/rpg elements
-
Great ideas! The open world does feel a tad empty
-
I don't agree with the animals, we were wiped out. Buildings and cities are destroyed, and gone. If we barley survived why would animals even have a chance? Species of animals are extinct.
-
There's birds lol
-
and dragon flies
-
Yupp I agree with you!
-
Honestly from what I've seen in the openess aspect is that it can only grow over time, there is ton of potential already for that
-
Sick ideas dude, would love to see it in Destiby
-
The world does feel a bit empty it would be nice to see the added to the game.
-
I imagine groups of npc's not trusting the traveler and building outposts of their own.. or just factions having outposts in the open world. Make the open world more alive.!
-
Wildlife would be cool but it would take away from the image of the game. Humanity was wiped out except for those in the city. It only makes sense that everything else was wiped out too. Bungie is trying to create a desolate world inhabited by our enemies. Camps would be a bit cool and seeing as there is going to be a black market, surely there will be other guardians or at least people that leave the city. I know there will be another social hub besides the tower called the Reef. That may be the closest to a camp we get to. Weather: Again, the Earth is Desolate. The Traveler can make it rain (literally) but it is crippled for now. Bungie's way of changing the environment was the day/night cycle.
-
So like fallout with the demented creatures I like it but the creatures would be different for the environment and location I'm down with dis idea
-
I agree! Destiny needs more density (lol) while free roaming
-
Also needs "random encounters" like fallout or elder scrolls! Every area became extremely predictable way too fast. More loot couldn't hurt either...

Edited by wWaAVve: 8/8/2014 2:39:26 PMI definitely want more stuff happening in the open world... Other than a HUGE variety of battle styles and bosses I would like to see many NON-battle events added even if we witness it once in a blue moon like: -Wildlife or Alien creatures running by in large herds, stampeding, loudly -A huge fleet of spaceships flying by ("crap are those enemies, wait no Guardians!!! Where are they heading? Why?) -A huge creature walk by that we do not alert or mess with, just let it pass by or hide! -Large sky event like Eclipse, meteor shower, space battle in the sky -Large Guardian Gladiator-like events maybe with real pvp happening in explore mode or a fight to the death. Or a guardian takes on a boss while everyone else watches or cheers. -Natural planetary destruction once in a blue moon like plates grinding, volcanic-like events or something that reminds us of harsh dynamic universe -Dynamic Weather or Storms that occasionally show up These events would come in to break up the typical explore mode just like a public event but will be a nice dramatic cool thing to witness and say "wow " that was awesome. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I can't wait to come back or tell my friends what I just saw!" It doesn't have to be constant just once in awhile or even once per day or every few hours at most, we would see something new and epic happen. Even an occasional RARE event could happen each month or two to create a kind of "lore" for players to pass on like "I was actually THERE when that happened!" That makes it more random and we'd appreciate it more. It would also feel more like a living, real world if it was random and varied.

Why not quests that hunt these animals to gain glimore and other valuables. Maybe make exotic animals, that you can summon from your ghost.........lol sounds like pokemon. XD
-
That actualy sounds like some good ideas, But from what i have gathered the fallen was not an infection so it wouldnt make sense if the animals were mutated, maybe some "fallen" animals and some regular animals depending on where you are? Also i love the weather idea, Having an epic fight a event boss and suddenly a thunder storm appears, would be bas ass! And if they really got into the weather add player hinderance depending, like in heavy winds or such makes it difficult to control your speeder properly or such, i think that would make the feeling of "explore" and "survive" a liitle more intense
-
And why not have an option to marry other players or NPC and adopt little guardians. You can build your own home too and cook. Turn into a vampire or a werewolf.....sound familiar?
-
You sir are a good sir and I support you in your opinion.
-
Some thing open world could use is PvP for the annoying people in your way.
-
Completely agree. Doesn't have to be done immediately, but it would be a great feature to have.
-
I definitely like the weather idea. I like different weather in the game not just plain sun all day.
-
I lie the idea about the weather & wildlife.
-
How about different times of day? Or seasons?
-
I like it. Wildlife would liven up the atmosphere a little bit. It only even needs to be an occasional creature to add a little more depth to an area. Maybe even make a unique cloak, sash, or coat from a certain animal.
-
Yes please hunting would be cool.
