I think we can all agree that Vanguard strikes, one of the core activities in the game, desperately need a rework. Here is my idea on what can be done to fix them. Yes I know it's kind of a mess, I'm not good at this sort of thing, just bear with me please.
Strike Bosses have all had their health boosted to give them a fighting chance.
Vanguard weapons and armor have been refreshed, new loot to earn!
Vanguard tokens have been removed, in its place will be Vanguard reputation granted at the end of each strike.
New Vanguard ranking system called Renown. Works the same as Infamy.
Vanguard bounties now award Renown points and XP.
Vanguard bounties now count teammates kills as well as your own.
Strike scoring is back, and is team based. As a team, meet a score criteria to boost reputation earned at the end of a strike.
Heroic strikes have been reintroduced at current (950) power. Heroic strikes will increase in power difficulty throughout different seasons.
Regular Vanguard strikes will remain, as a way for new players to jump right in.
All rewards for completing strikes in the regular playlist will be slightly reduced.
When reaching a new rank in Renown Zavala now gives an option between armor or weapon packages.
Skeleton keys have returned along with strike specific loot.
Reaching Renown rank Legend awards an ascendant shard.
The first three heroic strikes after weekly reset award two enhancement cores, and one enhancement prism each. Small chance for more to drop at the end of each strike.
Staying in the strike playlist builds your streak, increasing reputation earned as well as increasing the drop chance of vanguard loot, skeleton keys, exotics and catalysts. Streak resets on the daily reset.
Singe modifiers have been replaced with Burn modifiers.
Blackout only removes radar. (Edit: Changed from no longer removes radar because I don't think anyone wants lightswitch back)
All modifiers from Destiny 1, except lightswitch, have been reintroduced into the game, additionally old heroic adventure modifiers have been introduced into the mix.
Burn modifier rotates weekly. Heroic modifier always active in heroic strikes. Three (or two?) additional modifiers rotate daily.
The two weekly bounties from Zavala have been updated. One grants a skeleton key, and one grants a reputation booster that lasts four hours. (Edit: Changed from both granting skeleton keys)
Daily Heroic story missions have returned.
Log in and complete a mission daily to receive a piece of Vanguard gear, reputation, and ten planetary materials that correspond with the planet the mission took place on.
