I’d just like a season with no new seasonal activity and narrative mcguffin. A season that takes a break from pushing the narrative forward and introducing more currencies into an already bloated economy . Instead focusing on overhauling the core playlist activities; strikes/crucible/ gambit. New strike modifiers, specific loot for each strike. Redirecting the dev time which would be spent on a new vendor and activity and creating 4 or 4 new strikes with strike leaderboards, armor sets and weapons that can only be obtained through playlist completions on top of the strike specific gear. Same for crucible and gambit with 4 or 5 brand new maps each, playlist specific loot to chase, bringing back incentives for playing comp. Bringing back factions as a permanent and passive entity. Like in D1 where they were a continuous source of unique loot and you were passively levelling them up and earning rewards from them just by playing the game. Introduce a full new suite of armor and weapons to the world loot pool to compensate for the full extent of sunsetting to date. The ratio of new to sunset was nowhere near acceptable with beyond light and the ratio will only continue to get worse with each new seasonal round of sunsetting. I mean, I could go on, but you get my drift. I know Bungie would cop a lot of flack for “not creating anything new”, but in the long run it would be worth it. It would give them a fundamentally strong infrastructure of a base game on which to continue to build upon. Because as it stands right now, the quality of seasonal content doesn’t really matter because the foundation is built on is crumbling beneath it.

Nah... Season of the Deep: Reintroduces a highly changed version of Freehold (D1 Mars) where large portions of the sand have been stripped away by the darkness in their own form of terraforming. The darkness is looking for something in the bowels of the Buried City and the Taken have spearheaded this incursion. Speak with the new Rasputin Frame, Ana Bray, and The Crow as the Black Garden rumbles awake once again, but is met with a slumbering giant cut off from the Tyrant King of Machines. Features a new Seasonal Activity: Charlemagne’s Vault. - Delve into the pits of Charlemagne’s Trophy Room as you clear Vex, Cabal, and Taken on various levels. (Like menagerie). - As a reward, you have the chance to obtain 1/8 new weapons and 8 returning weapons using a targeted loot farm (like old menagerie). Season Armor: Perihelion Armor Set [spoiler]Warlock: - Rugged Sunscorched armor. Helmet has a Hunter-like feel to it. Horizontal visor, not as bulky. Gauntlets are small, but have plate armor protecting the thumb, index, and middle finger. Chest is a rugged duster. Not as long as other robes, but long enough to still seem definitely Warlock. Boosts are chunky combat boost with plates on outside of shin. Bond is a small glowing orange band surrounded by the black metal. Hunter: - More of a gothic feel to the helmet. More scupted and refined, but made of the harder metal plates. Cloak is more of a scarf, that falls diagonally over the right shoulder. Marked with Clovis Bray insignias. The chest is more classic with two rows of angular extensions that mimic the helmet. Gauntlets have two sets of two rings that encircle a short ways from the armor at the shoulder and forearm. Gauntlets look like the warlock. Boots mimic the chest, and the boosts are on the smaller side. Titan: - a more classic style helmet (sunbreak) with a small antenna over the left ear. Chest is lower profile and looks more like a Hunter chest, but full coverage. Gauntlets have very small shoulders and more of the spikes going down the outside. The boots are chunky and rugged. The bond is small and wrapped around the outside with small CB insignias and a glowing line of orange on the bottom. All glowing areas will change with shaders. [/spoiler] Season Exotic: Handsome Devil - Kinetic SMG - Intrinsic: Lone Wolf - Increased sprint and slide distance. Unassisted Kills Reload a portion of the magazine and Reduce the cooldown of your abilities. - Trait: Devil in the Details - Deal increased Damage when health is full.

Deathrattle - Stasis FR - Intrinsic: Winter’s Teeth - This weapon’s bolts crystallize as they fly, allowing them to deal precision damage. - Trait: Ice Age - Landing 4 bolts in a burst as crits allows this weapon’s bolts to freeze enemies and create ice walls upon impact.

The Nautilus - Titan Chest - Methane Pump - transforms your solar melee into a close-range incendiary burst. Close range kills grant melee energy. The Cold Front - Titan Helm - Winter Storm - Melee hits with an arc subclass generate additional armor. Charged Arc Melees slow enemies. Barrier activation slows all enemies based on the number of armor stacks. Use consumes all stacks. (Up to 10x. Barrier adds 1x slow per stack.) Kitsune’s Bute - Hunter Helm - Foxfire - Tethered targets take damage over time. Voidwall grenade kills generate orbs of light. Tesseract Line - Hunter Boots - Tesla Perimeter - Press RT and LT during Arc Staff to plant your staff and stop your super. Your staff will continuously chain Lightning to nearby enemies. Duration depends on the amount of energy left when activated.

No one cares. Get a life

I'm waiting for Season of the Maintenance. Oh wait, that's every season. How about Season of the Blue Junk Avalanche? No, that's every season too. How about Season of the Outdated Interface? Nope. Maybe Season of the Mindless Progression? Nope. Hell, Bungie gives us these season features for free all the time. We should be more grateful.

What would the story of said season be? Just curious I love the concept though

Nice. I feel like the Artemis bow should be a remote detonation arrow or a piercing bow or something

I will be expecting a full post of this....dont give up.

I'm sure it would have been wasted time anyway. Bungie don't take Community ideas.

I think that's a new sunsetting world record
