[b]DISCLAIMER: There is a lot of material. Please leave feedback, THANKS![/b]
[i]I have been playing since the launch of the beta; ever since the release of the game I have been on the forums.
On various occasions i have provided a number of suggestions and ideas for Bungie. I enjoy playing Destiny, however, now that i have acquired end-game status, i find little to do in-game anymore. My goal is to make a difference and set some gears in motion for better things to come.[/i]
An important note to consider is this: Don't expect a company who is focusing on a new game release (Destiny 2) to adhere to every minimal request in change. Many suggestions are lost in the masses of threads. This should not discourage people from having a voice, and saying what they feel is right. The changes in game that we DO see, are there because we as a community voiced our concerns and Bungie listened.
I'm not asking to spread a thread like a virus and copy+paste it to all corners of the forum to get attention. Bungie is not blind, if they do not reply, it does not mean they do not see what's going on. Remember, [b]a lone light in a dark room shines brightest.[/b]
In my time on the forums, i have dedicated countless hours to my envisioning of an improved Destiny. Not all my ideas are favorable to everyone. There will be people who oppose, and there will be people who discourage, but it is important to understand, that every idea has been carefully thought out.
Below I have created an Archive to showcase my Ideas/Suggestions that i have proposed to Bungie. This list is conveniently placed to pick and choose what you want to read about. If you see something you like in particular, follow the link and it will take you to the original thread. Here you go:
[b]Ammo Synth Shortcut[/b]
[i]“A shortcut to a commonly used feature.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]A fairly simple idea, have the weapon you need extra ammunition for, and have it equipped. Then you can either double tap the touchpad (PS4) or hold it for 2 seconds. That would automatically use a synthesis for your “Currently Equipped” Weapon. You would be able to use the synthesis without opening the menu. If you have no synthesis, it will not work of course.

[/b][/spoiler]
[b]Buff Notifications[/b]
[i]“Get notified when that Synth is ready to use again.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]The same way that “Song of flame”, “Gunslinger’s Trance”, and “Chain of Woe” works. You have a text notification stating that you have certain buffs active. It would be more useful and accessible if there are more application for this feature, such as: “You will now gain additional glimmer fighting vex enemies: 7:32 left.” and “Your Ammo Synthesis is ready for use.” (After cool down).

[/b][/spoiler]
[b]Capture the Flag[/b]
[i]“Bring it back!”[/i]
[spoiler][b]Capture the Flag is a staple multiplayer experience in the “Call of Duty” and “Halo” franchise. This game mode should be added to the crucible (permanent or playlist). If not Capture the Flag, then at least something similar to it.
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/79831639/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Character RE-Customization[/b]
[i]“Changed your mind, eh?”[/i]
[spoiler][b]A simple feature with no impact on the gameplay, only for cosmetics. At the character screen you hold “Triangle/Y” and customize your appearance. After completing certain tasks in game, you unlock cool character add-ons to customize your character with.
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/95810785/0/0/1[/url]
[/b][/spoiler]
[b]Dynamic Weather[/b]
[i]“A pleasantly unpleasant change to weather.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]Well over 5000 votes! Dynamic Weather situations occur randomly and affect gameplay. Some examples include: Dust Storms/Sandstorms on Mars (Reduced Visibility/Slows Character Movement), Hurricanes on Venus (Heavy rain blurs vision and rough winds sways your aim), Blizzards on Earth (Reduced Visibility/Keep moving to avoid frostbite), Lunar Eclipse on the Moon (Darkness EVERYWHERE).
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/91262809/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]A Vault Update[/b]
[i]“This is how it should be.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]The Vault is not just a storage unit. It could be a place where you organize all three of your characters. Open up the Vault and have all your characters displayed. Manage their inventory and make transfers quick and easy. Organize items better with the “Take Half” option. This way you can evenly distribute Ammo Synthesis, Glimmer Buffs, and Telemetries.
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/79952107/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Fair Crucible RNG Loot[/b]
[i]“Everyone wins… something.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]Two Separate loots; Guaranteed and Participation Tickets. Top players in every game get guaranteed loot (Weapons/Armor), EVERYONE undergoes RNG for participation tickets used to by cool stuff (see Participation Rewards Specifics). This way, players can actually receive Weapons/Armor through skill, and even players who did not contribute as much can still reap the spoils of RNG.
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/82575964/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Gunsmith Upgrades Legendary Items[/b]
[i]“Finally, he has something to do…”[/i]
[spoiler][b]The Gunsmith as we know it provides weapons for players level 1-10. Beyond that players would have to rely on drops from Strikes or Crucible. There should be an option with the Gunsmith to upgrade Legendary gear. He would be able to turn 300 weapons into 323, +27 Armor to +30, and +30 armor to +33. The Gunsmith would be perfect for an upgrading service.
[url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/84632726/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Increased Glimmer[/b]
[i]“Money, money, money, moooney…MONEY.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]The title speaks for itself. Although a nice touch to the idea would be that you get a higher glimmer cap with every character you have.
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/85597403/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Level progression ruined with Vanguard[/b]
[i]“Bungie’s greatest mistake”[/i]
[spoiler][b]The current rate of progression is broken. The Vault of Glass had been rendered irrelevant to leveling up. The cause behind it all is the Vanguard/Crucible Gear getting players to level 31 (explained more in detail). Old vanguard/Crucible gear should be added to their shops, and the new gear require level 30 to purchase. This will make the best form of progression available to Destiny alongside many other benefits.
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/91094441/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]New Raid Mode (Expert Mode)[/b]
[i]“Nightfall is too easy.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]This is to be the hardest challenge in the game, it is meant to be a task that is impossible but can still be done. It rewards you with 331 Raid weapons and 32 armor. Once a new DLC is released, the previous raid gets a new “Extreme” mode. Click the link to find out more!
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/91562382/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Return to Tower [/b]
[i]“Shortcut to save you time!”[/i]
[spoiler][b]When the ghost menu is open, you can hold R2 and Triangle to go to Tower. You use Triangle to go to orbit, although you can bypass going to orbit and go to the tower directly without having to load up orbit. (PS4 Buttons)
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/78467513/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Separate Leveling[/b]
[i]“Reimagining how you see player levels!”[/i]
[spoiler][b]This is a big one, check out both links! (Combination of both)
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/78615406/0/0/1[/url]
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/78467545/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Shader Customization[/b]
[i]“Imagine using shaders for more than just your armor!” [/i]
[spoiler][b]Shaders should be given the ability to be attached to a single piece of armor as well as the whole set. This would make people look more creative, and finally put to use those useless shaders that nobody uses. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, I believe shaders should be able to be applied to WEAPONS! This would make customization very unique in destiny, and loads more fun to play.
[url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76006012/0/0/1[/url][/b][/spoiler]
[b]Sparrow POV Change[/b]
[i]“A wonderful change of perspective.”[/i]
[spoiler][b]If you’ve played GTAV then you’d be familiar with this mechanic. The ability to toggle between 1st person perspective and 3rd person perspective. This would be great, not only for being on top your sparrow, but maybe even walking around the tower or patrolling a planet. Riding your sparrow in the 1st person would make it more exciting.

Ok here's one... What if raid armour could be broken down for a material that could then be used to bring any other piece of armour in the game to that light level? I think that a helm should only be able to upgrade a helm or a chest should only be able to upgrade a chest etc. This would mean we'd have to still work hard to get to the highest light level but our guardians would all look unique. It would even make green and blue engrams exciting again as you might get that perfect looking piece you armour you that would could then upgrade to the highest level. Thoughts?

Edited by FH2actual: 1/29/2015 6:22:38 AMI would imagine the upgrade to the Gunsmith for allowing players to make legendary's into current spec weapons would cost a pretty penny, but doable, which beats what he has going for him now. Which is a whole lot of diddle with a side of squat. Hell, I would be happy if he allowed players to customize scopes and ballistics for weapons. Doesn't have to upgrade damage (though I wouldn't turn that option down no matter the cost) but just giving players the ability, albeit expensively (because fair is fair, nothing should be Too easy) to change up perks or something. Even allowing for shaders or something to work with weapons. Allow us to change out it's look. Customization is key. This NPC has so much untapped potential it Hurts to see him just sit there doing nothing all the time.

I'm all for spamming Bungie with requests for game enhancements but I don't see any suggestions in your list that haven't been put forward already. (no troll intended!) The sooner we get bigger vaults and in increased (or even no) glimmer cap the better. Would also love to see marks shared between characters the same way glimmer is shared.

#Deej. Bump

Make it so.

This post is very well done. Agreed with everything, except that Third Person should not work in PvP as people can camera cheat.

You spelled basement dwellers wrong

Great post. #deej

Another brilliant idea would be to fix the gamechat nat issues. It hinders raids and crucible especially when things like Xbox parties aren't working properly. My friends and I just wiped 2 in a row because party chat lagged out on crota and nobody could hear everyone in game chat. Nobody wants to go fix they're router especially making sure it is the same as everyone else's.
-
One more that I think should be on the list: private matches for PvP

4 RepliesI agree with all but the vendor gear I don't see the problem with it.... It does not get you to max level and it is not like you could buy the whole set in one week since you cap out at 100 points a week

Bumped for support.

These are great ideas that's why DeeJ will never respond.
