With update [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update--11172014/en/News/News?aid=12398]1.0.3[/url] being released we see lots of new changes and updates. While not all changes are universally loved, we still see lots of work still being put into Destiny. What would you like to see Bungie add/change/remove from Destiny in the future updates? Is there a quality of life improvement you think we could benefit from? Have any great ideas for patrol missions? What’s your take on a third subclass? Think outside of the box and be creative. Destiny is large game with many hooks for more great content to be added. [b]Word to the Wise, be constructive.[/b] Simply saying “Nerf gun X” or "how about adding a story” won’t get Bungie’s attention and simply won’t improve Destiny. Tells us/them why you think a change should be made, why you think it would improve that game disc in your console box. The more realistic, constructive, and overall positive you are about what you would like to see added/changes/removed from Destiny, the more likely Bungie is to respond to our requests/input. [b]**Update 11/18**[/b] I have compiled a list of the most requested changes/additions that we would like to see added to Destiny. While I know some of these are not earth shattering and have been mentioned in previous posts(Sparrow races, skip cut scenes), I figure I’d add them as there is always room to build upon them. As a side note, I’m sure many of these have come across Bungie’s desk. I’m no coder, but it’s safe to say any major change to a released game is easier said than done. But with that said, keep the ideas coming; we have seen lots of interesting suggestions. Also with Iron Banner being available again today, we do get the opportunity to voice what changes/improvements we like and what we would like to be added the next time around. Shaders: Overall everyone likes the ability to apply a single color scheme to their Guardian. But we would like to take it further and expand our options. Even further by being able to apply shaders to weapons and ghosts. • More shaders for purchase (seems 1.0.3 has addressed this to some extent) • The ability to manually create the color pallet for shaders. • Being able to apply shaders to weapons, ships, sparrows and ghosts. Weapon Customization/Reforge Perks: Read a lot of players looking to not only change how their weapon looks (shaders), but also mention being able to change perks/elemental attributes. • Allow players the ability to apply shaders or other customized color scheme to weapons. • Reforge states: Iron banner has this and many would like to see that be permanently added for most/all weapons. • Change Elemental Damage: For some fee or purchasable item that allows players to change what elemental damage a weapon deals. Player Customization: People love to customize their characters. We enjoy shaders and class armor, but feel we are stuck with our original decisions when we created our Guardians. • Dance studio: It’s been requested in others games (WoW) for years, why not Destiny. • Player Housing: A place for Guardians to get a moment of solace. • Barber shop: While adding new hair styles, colors, and markings, allow players to change their Guardian’s appearance. Factions: As it stands now, Factions don’t really have a purpose. Many would like to see them flushed out from a story standpoint and have some impact on the game other than vendor rep sinks. • Faction bounties: Have faction vendors offer bounties to increase rep/marks. • Faction Wars: I would be great to represent you Faction in PvP by wearing their colors and fighting for them in specific match made games. Could be a weekly event that would award the winning faction. • Faction quests: Smaller story lines that help detail who the factions are and why they fight. More Vault Space: Either by adding slots or giving each Guardian its own vault in addition to the account wide vault. Audio settings: Give players the ability to adjust in-game music, ambient sound, voice, ect. Skip Cut Scene: X to skip Ships: Just like anything else, customization. Also ship battles, like in Reach, ect. Maybe the bridge becomes player housing. Sparrows Races: Each planet has plenty of open space and paths that would lend itself well to racing. • Could be implemented in matchmaking or patrol. • Rewards could be anything from mats to marks or rep. • Tournaments could reward rare weapons/shaders/class armor items. PvP: More, more, more. My overall impression from the below posts is that players aren't looking for balance as much as they want more to do in PvP. • More playlist: CTF, assault, Swords and Shields (Sword of Crota and Relic), juggernaut, ect. • Level Advantage Enabled: Pending how well the Iron Banner goes, players would like to see a hopper consisting of match made PvP with Player Level Advantaged Enabled permanently. • Custom/Private PvP: Get your friends together and play PvP the way you like with on the maps you want. • PvP Planet: Make Pluto a PvP enabled environment that has quests, farming, ect. More Cowbell: I have a fever… Looking for Group: An in-game version of DestinyLFG Dot Domain. • While the community has adapted well and created something outside of the game to facilitate the needs for LFG for Nightfalls and Raids, something in-game would be more convenient for others. While Bungie has expressed that it was a design decision to not have match making apart of high level content, many feel left out without an easier way to access the content. Expand Public Events: Players like to explore the universe and run into trouble. • Add World Bosses: Hard enemies that take many guardians to down. Randomly spawn with a chance to drop rare items. • Open World PvP: Areas designated for open world PvP. Can still do quests or bounties, but watch your back. • Territories: Capture bases for your faction to earn more rep or glimmer in that area/planet. Map/Strike Voting: Allow players to choose between 2 or 3 maps/strikes after completing the previous. • Vote for the next map and game type. • Vote to boot inactive players. I know many of these would be large, game changing additions and could be difficult to implement from a technical standpoint. I also know nothing is free and some of the above would require glimmer, rep, marks, or mats to complete. We have a lot here and plenty to build on. I’ll update as more is posted.
