    Destiny 2... I will buy it but not make the same mistake as I did with installment 1. I will not listen to your advertisements. I will not listen to you e3, gamescom, etc. Panels. I will ignore your praise of how good the game will be I will ignore your exclusive pre order Announcements. And I will wait the first month after the release before I even rent the game. Prove me wrong bungie. I am hoping for that

          • Hello there! I though for a while about updates and features who might or might not to some be a great add to this game. Please leave your thoughts toward those ideas. 1- Trade System: Tho Destiny is a FPS RPG without trade system, I personally think this is a good idea and a bad idea at the same time, the good part is that people aren't able to exploit the trade system and breaking the game even more. The bad part is some of the times you end with something that you have no use for but want to give/either trade with some one else. Solution- What might solve this, is adding a trade system inside "RAIDS ONLY" able to trade "RAID ONLY ITEMS" to those who participate in the same encounter, by creating a save-ID for those 6 who played together inside the raid, and so creating a trade window available for those who played the same raid together, I forgot to mention that the items that can be traded are only the items who dropped on that same run. 2- Raid loot system: Some are lucky and some are unlucky like myself when comes up getting a decent piece of gear from the raids. Most of the time it feels like the reason we do the raid is to get ascendant materials to upgrade gear we don't have yet, and forcing us to wait a whole week to try it again. Solution (Possible)- The chests most of the time provides only ascendant materials, so leave it how it is. Raid Gear and Weapons should get a increase in drops rate to 70% and decreasing the ascent materials dropped by bosses to 30%. 3- Strikes: Make a lvl 26 and 28 strike. After level 26 the most of us feel left in the dark with nothing else to do in terms of PvE except the raid, that even after completing it, we must wait a week to reset. Solution- Make those lvl 26 and 28 more challenging with some decent rewards for completing it. 4- Gear: The armor stats on the gear was supposed to reduce the amount of physical damage taken, but it looks nothing but numbers. Solution- PvE/PvP: Fix the armor problem, it should reduce the physical/melee damage taken. PvP Only: Add a PvP set with resilience to reduce the damage taken from people abilities, it might balance classes a bit more and also make PvP more challenging. 5- Events: Have been a while since we have participated in a event. We participated in 2 events since destiny release and in my opinion it sucked. Solution: fix the events you already have created by increasing difficulty and rewards. Create some new events. Every 2 weeks should be a event! 6- Bounties: Oh yes... Repeat, Repeat the same thing just a different location (Same old Sh!t just a different day) my apologies for putting it like this. Solution: Fix the bounties rewards, add a new variety of bounties, make more challenging, also add a system for example: complete 10 bounties daily and have a chance into receiving a reward. 7- Open world PvP: Although we don't know this yet in destiny, it might be a great feature. Solution: add a open world PvP system on the patrol maps on every planet, and make sure people can't interfere with those playing the story missions, leaving the Open World PvP system available only for those who are currently playing no missions. 8- Arena: Gladiators the Titans of the arena. Solution: Create a arena team system like in WoW, might be insane and people will love it for sure. 9- Open World PvP and Arena Rewards: The Ultimate PvP'er Solution: add some rewards for these both features. Better PvP gear and weapons. The higher your rank/rating that more access you have towards end game PvP rewards. 10- Open World Boss: 60 vs 1 hell yeah: Solution: Add a couple of world bosses into the game, the bosses will always spawn randomly and you can only loot once a week. The more people, the highest chance in killing it. Make it extremely had. Require over 40 people to kill it! No need for a party or group, if you are around you can just help and and voila there you got a new exotic! There are many things i could came up with but I have seen that some people around also came up with some brilliant ideas. I just hope that one day that Bungie might take one or maybe 2 of our ideas in consideration by implementing some fans/players created/made up ideas into the game. For those leaving some positive and negative feedback towards my ideas, thanks the time you have taken into reading my post. And I also apologize for my grammatical mistakes, although I tried my best to make my self understandable. Greetings, Call_Jerry

              • [quote][url=/en/News/News?aid=12351]Bungie Weekly Update – 10/31/2014[/url][/quote] Thanks for some good times Bungie. I put 20+ hours into the Beta and another 40+ into the actual game. Hit 30 two weeks ago and there is nothing left for me. Many of my friends have left, so I guess this is goodbye for now too. Maybe when the slow pace of summer comes back I'll see what you've done to take the needle off of the record player. Best of luck!

                      The game needs to be getting bigger with updates, not just changes I think. I think if you keep the Iron Banner around whilst adding other features, it'll give us more variety in what game modes we play. I think Iron Banner should be permanent, and then keep adding new events every week so that we can see the game expand AND evolve. Lets be honest, you wouldn't have spent so much time perfecting our speed bikes if you weren't intending on bringing a racing mode to Destiny. There also wouldn't be so many different doors around the worlds if you hadn't intended on adding rooms for all these doors. The design of the Strikes show that you obviously considered randomizing the paths at some point. You wouldn't have spent so much time on the backdrop of some of these worlds if you hadn't intended on us going there. Lets expand the worlds more, make them truly huge. I think you have potential to become WoW if you wanted it. Make the Destiny Companion a social media hub for the game destiny even more than it already is. Allow us to display statuses over our heads, chat bubbles, anything that could help us communicate with other players in the game. The companion app was a genius idea, make it even better by serving our medium to talk to one another in the game. We can display statuses, ideas, intentions (I want to do a raid!), more and more. Make our phones the keyboard to talk in the game. This would be a very effective way to serve our social needs in the game. Proximity voice chat - another solution, but doesn't serve everybody because not everyone likes the headsets. It would be perfect to have both the chat bubbles and the proximity voice chat. Proximity voice chat does have its problems though, you might have people eaves dropping, come into contact with people you aren't intending on talking to, trolls, etcetera. It may be more invasive than you want. Give us a hud for a world map, perhaps a ghost function (dpad function or something). We press a button, and a see through map appears in our HUD. We can still shoot, operate, and fight while the map is up, but we can easily turn off the map if we need to see better. Give us more secret doors, if we find the key to a door, puzzles, perhaps unlocking secret weapon mods, maybe allowing us to reset our maxed out weapons so they're even better the 2nd time through the progression. Obviously you already have some of this, but more is always better. Giving us weapon prestige levels and such isn't a completely new concept, but it would be a good one for a game like Destiny. The second time through, upgrades could cost more glimmer, take longer to level up, give us achievements for reaching a certain weapon rank, more is better. Player owned residence, so we have more PvE to work towards. It'd be sweet if we could unlock trophies, mount the bosses head on a wall as a rare drop, work towards a financial goal of some kind, idk. Theres definitely no point in being rich though. We elaborated on the Residence idea by making it your ship. You can walk around inside your ship that you own, each ship has its own layout, getting neater and larger on the inside depending on its rarity. This is giving ships a more functional role in the game. Another idea is that our residence could showcase our ship (as if its sitting in a driveway) and perhaps even give us a perk depending on the ship. (find more glimmer, see more loot on the ground, increase the chance of getting a rare drop slightly, unlock exclusive areas or features depending on the ship you own. REMOVE THE HEIGHT BARRIERS! Some of us like to climb. I for one, climbed a building in mars only to find out I wouldn't make it to the top because of a height barrier. Its too bad, that would have been a killer view. That would have been the sickest view in the game, but I never made it to the top. (Goes along with secret areas I suppose) I get the need to add barriers along the outside of the map, but we should be able to climb whatever structures you place inbounds. Its better to not run into invisible walls everywhere. If you see it, you can go there. It might be hard to do, it might not. The reason I want this is because Destiny is a game of Beauty, and exploiting some of the high towers gives us an epic view of your beautiful game. The Tower oversees the city, a mountain could oversee mars. Consider this idea PLEASE. Destructible drop ships, in world bosses, rare enemies for rare prizes, more events like the one near the loot cave on earth, (perhaps harder enemy encounters so that you have to be higher level to compete in such events) Give the lower levels some hell for trying stupid things or turning the wrong corner like fighting a level 20 (even if its on earth). Dark Souls is popular for a reason. We need impossible encounters sometimes. Bad ideas should be bad ideas, and not escapable ones. Take a page out of blizzards book, create some pvp areas, integrate factions into the PvE worlds. This could be similar to to the mechanics of a survival mode. Endless PvP on a map, not ending ever. Just a raging battle over some ground. When one faction holds the battleground, everyone in the world gets a perk or something. Survival mode, someone mentioned this in another post. This could be the open world survival zombies type of mode. This could be part of that constant battle raging outside of the cities walls, that never ending line of Hive, you simply spawn into this location from your dropship just to fight the endless amount of enemies with other guardians. This could have a reduced xp for obvious reasons, it'd be too easy to level up by entering this with current xp rates - See Ratchet and Clank Dreadlocked wave modes and the loot cave, it maxed out every weapon so fast in that game, survival mode needs to be careful to not be an exploit. Let us get into the city, explore the traveler, and again, use our money for something other than weapons. We need more economy in the game, trade would be nice but its understandable why you dont have it. The glimmer cap needs to be lifted completely. There really should be some very expensive items only obtainable by glimmer, an exotic or legendary or even some rares. If there are weapons worth 100k glimmer, so be it, I'll save up, its a financial goal. More color customization. Allow us to use our shaders on specific armor parts, weapon parts, instead of a one shade for all color scheme. This would allow us to represent our favorite teams. Another idea for this concept is a companion app function - We have all of these color schemes right? Maybe we can use the color schemes we have in the game to create new ones by combining them on the companion app. Example - Helmet - God of War color scheme Chest - Jet Black Legs - Jet Black Boots - God of War Arms - God of War Custom name - Hades Save, Edit, Preview Once saved, it will send the custom color shader to the Special vendor next to the postman, then we equip it in game to get an epic sick look for our character. Your work is cut out for you. Matchmaking for raids, (Maybe just add a headset requirement or something, thats understandable) And leave out that headset requirement for fire team raids as it used to be. If you implement Chat bubbles, this function might not even be needed as there will be a more effective medium for setting up teams in the game. Space ship customization, color customization, etcetera. This is an iffy idea, cause it should be the way you have it where if you buy a ship it remains that quality. Upgrades would be nice though, to make it look more personal. There are a lot of people with the same ships. Perhaps allowing us to paint a babe on the side (just joking) a gruesome set of teeth (not joking at all), angel wings, kill counts, lights, glowing trails, etcetera. Space battles would be awesome, but obviously that is a far fetch. I get that. It would be cool, so hey Destiny 2, theres a good start on how to expand the game to another dimension of gameplay. Some kind of skill would be cool, come up with 3-4 skills to start a skill tree in. That is why runescape has lasted for over 15 years. Skilltrees are like meth for gamers. We need this, I get bored with the combat after some time. Being able to create is a good place to start. Additional zones - So if the map is too big for the game to handle, just give us a loading screen then. If you add to the map but need to do this, do it. If traversing to other large areas would require a loading screen, completely fine. The worlds need to get bigger somehow though. Another aspect that is missing seems to be wildlife. There is nothing peaceful in the world. Is it really all dead? Did the aliens bring nothing but weapons with them? This could play into skills too, as well as a different form of items, wildlife could be violent too. Even boss like. If there is a faction less alien out there, give it to us. We see great whites eat people all the time, there needs to be a great white equivalent in the worlds of Destiny. My list of ideas gets bigger and I appreciate the support I've had on some of my past posts. I updated last weeks post to this one, added some and adjusted some of the ideas. I really hope this game gets supported through 10 years. Its obvious that its a great game, but I'm still doing the same strikes, expecting enemies in the same places, in the same order, its just repetitive. If I die in a strike, its cause I am lazy. Its too easy to do strikes, and too hard to join a raid team. There is work to be done, and I hope I have cut out some of your work for you. Update: Catch my latest and probably the greatest and most probable idea of them all here. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/77504039/0/0

                        • http://youtu.be/fCj3_xNTWOY Destiny 2, so I understand having the next project on the board. However I am curious as to wither or not you plan on finishing Destiny? I am also curious as to the claims of an Epic story from Destiny http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bungie-thinking-about-lord-of-the-rings-sized-narr/1100-6422140/c I mean article after article world wide about these claims. My oldest son is 12 years old and he's a bit of a writer himself and you know what - half asleep on the couch and he can come up with wild stories. I have never been so disappointed in a story till Destiny, I have seen and read my fair share of bad stories - but at least they tried to tell a story. Now you are working on Destiny 2, you may want to be honest as far honest that there will be no story. I have tried to keep an open mind, the game play is good but it lacks so much content that it is baffling as to how you thought this was complete. I don't generally write on forums about games, if I don't like a game I just trade it in and be done with it. I think we are all owed an explanations as to why there isn't a story, after all we the games paid for it I have over looked, lack of story lack of game based characters lack of content lack of roam space invisible walls of death and invisible ceilings disconnects again and again no easy way to communicate with players max on vanguard marks Terrible reward system lack of community events Tower, not sure what this was meant for but it lacks so much Bounties have gotten so stale, by know you could have released one new bounty limitations on exotic gear and weapons, really - why!? no wild life on Venus or on earth - why? clans, not sure as to the function considering the limitations same patrol missions (over and over again) I'm sure there are more that others can add, but how do you expect to sell Destiny 2, when your players now are extremely frustrated? I liked the game, still would like to enjoy it but it has gotten to be a tedious task. I have not tried the raid because of the connections errors, bad enough I get booted out into orbit during strikes. Seems most of Destiny is geared towards PVP, you may want to let players know that in the future - that way they won't be so depressed when and if they decide to buy this game. You guys have a grocery list of things that you were aware of prior to releasing Destiny, I also think they if you don't get on the ball and start improving the world of Destiny - then I highly doubt you will survive till the end of 2015. I want Destiny to be awesome, I really do!!!

                          • [b]Robot Unicorn Attack http://robotunicornattack.us Upon loading up the game and probably startling Google Chrome itself with the absurdness of what I was playing, the word disappointment temporarily fell out of my vocabulary because after even 30 seconds of playing my head was filled with rainbows, amazement, and awe at how simultaneously simple and entertaining the experience was. Aside from the frightening array of colours that would distress even the hardiest of retinas, everything about this game is unbelievably simple and easy to grasp. Taking the fact that you are a mechanical unicorn as given, you are thrown into a bubblegum world of fantasy and sparkle which, upon witnessing it with your own eyes, will make you understand what those Skittles talk about when they bang on about "tasting the rainbow". As a robot unicorn, your job is to simply run endlessly across terrain, jumping intermittently when the ground beneath you ends and landing on the next platform. The jumps become increasingly difficult as you progress, with terrain and giant star-shaped obstacles getting in your way.[/b]

                          • Lol, funny you should mention that Bungie, for some reason the Jackolyte or whatever its called DIDNT WORK AT ALL. I saw other people running around with them on, but every time I tried to put one on, nothing happened. I got the item's effect on my player, but the actual jackolyte animation never appeared around head.
