[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).
[url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/84905954/0/0/1[/url]
[/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.

Edited by Monkey484: 1/28/2015 8:55:00 PMThese are some great ideas. Thanks OP for compiling the list. Things I'd like most to see implemented (in order of how much I want them): - Quit to tower (skip orbit) - More vault space! - Bungie app (or at the vault in tower) move stuff between characters. - Upgrade process for existing legendaries. - Be able to start mission while on planet already doing patrol. (Break out ghost, select mission and go) - Shaders for everything (guns, sparrow, ships, etc) - Customizable shaders

You sir/ma'am get the BIGGEST bump the universe has ever seen 😊
-
Skip cutscenes I like this thread
-
I love all of these ideas. Especially the one to make the gunsmith actually useful.
-
1 ReplyLooking at the budget this game has... it is embarrassing that some of these are not already in the game. Also... skip cut scene option.
-
1 ReplyCOME ON A DAMN TRANSMOG/STYLE/VANITY SLOT SYSTEM!!!!!! WHY DOES PURPLE GEAR LOOK LIKE SGIT WHILE BLUE GEAR LOOKS BADASS?!?!?!
-
Edited by Taggin T: 1/28/2015 8:44:56 PMLike, Like, Like, Triple Mother -blam!-ing Like! You, Sir, Have just won the internet for today! Bungie should incorporate at least half of these ideas. Particularly Synthesis through the D-pad, Extreme modes for raids, Vault space, and working on how to level up characters the right way. Make us reach a certain level before being able to buy better armor!

2 RepliesVery bumpable

When you open ghost hitting down on the Dpad would open an area map.

Bumping for awareness :D

Liked it until I saw expert raid Come on That's just completely stupid

4 RepliesEdited by Gzus: 1/28/2015 6:23:30 PMI'm gonna be honest although I like all of Them, one in particular stands out as not gonna/ can't happen in this game entry and that is dynamic weather. Quit on that dream now And put it in for hopes for destiny 2. Few games have dynamic wearer because it is hard and a lot goes into and it would be something pretty new to bungie with a lot of bugs to work out. Unless they hired some dice or naughty dog coders or insert whomever that's done fantastic dynamic weather that effects gameplay to come work on that while they're busy with the other bit and add ons as well as bugs, then it just won't happen. That's a ton of time a team of coders would be devoting to a single mostly background feature. The rest could all be done in less than a month total... For all of them( not individual ) because they're either quite simple and easy or the code for the feature is readily available. And for the love of me, let me skip the cutscenes I've seen a hundred times. The boring (in game)story/actors don't get any more Interesting with repetition.
-
Great Post! Fully support all of these suggestions. I think you should add something about bounties. I mean once you have completed most of the weekly challenges, you are then left with only bounties to do for the rest of the week. There should be more interesting bounties and better patrol missions.
-
3 RepliesEdited by BigBrutal64: 1/28/2015 8:57:38 PMI've always stated- that ANY 10 of us (here on the forum) could do a better job with Destiny's future than Activision has. It is oblivious that Activision is choking Bungie in their efforts to make this game what it should have been.

All of these ideas are fantastic! Sadly I doubt any of them well be implemented. Keep bumping the forum tho!!
-
This post is so beautiful! It's organized, well laid out, and it is awesome to have these ideas all in one place! Thank you for putting this together. Liked and bumped. I hope this continues to grow and trend!
-
These are all AMAZING ideas :D
-
Custom shader to your favorite weapon! (Thank you shader lady over by the speaker) Reroll perks on your favorite weapon (thank you gunsmith) Level up your favorite weapon to be on par with highest tier (again thank you gunsmith!)
-
Very awesome ideas good job
-
I agree with all of those, especially the Vault changes as I switch characters often.
-
Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback! Just a reminder, this is an archive of suggestions that i've made (Hence the link to the original thread). This is an archive of my ideas. You're more than welcome to speak about your ideas, however if i did not write it, i will not call it my own, therefore i cannot add to this archive unfortunately. I understand there are many issues like skipping cutscenes and other things.

Edited by Merdok: 1/28/2015 7:25:25 PMClass upgrade materials needed to upgrade gear need to be either lowered or removed.
