An unfilled Destiny? Ways to improve Destiny

Warning: This will be a block of text, but in my mind these are some suggestions which will make Destiny a far better game and will make the game less repetitive and really give its players a bigger chance of really becoming a legend. I've been pondering for quite some time why on earth a game with such promise as Destiny has never fulfilled its destiny (hoho). The repetive gameplay perhaps? The very non rewarding and totally random loot system? The promise to "become a legend" while doing nothing of the sorts? The general lack of content or lack of emotion in the game? Well: I do have quite a few suggestions to make this game slightly better and with a more personal touch which will not require Bungie to write tons of story missions and stuff like that. First off: Make the Vanguard strike missions a lot more varied. For example the strike list should be renamed to "story list" and you should include a lot more of the story missions like you do when it comes to the daily heroic story. Not every story mission is sufficent in length and difficulty. But a lot of them are. Like the Black Garden, The Archive, Winter's Run, Shrine of Oryx, Garden's Spire etc. Second: Make the Nightfall and Weekly Heroic Strike seperate when it comes to rotation. Do not make us play the same story twice a week (or six times if we have 3 characters). These two should always be different. Also like the strike missions you should include the harder story missions which will lead to less repitition and more varied gameplay. Which again will lead to players not feeling like doing the Nightfall and Weekly Heroic is a chore rather then having fun. When it comes to being a legend I have a suggestion which will give each player a unique look and feel. This also includes making Xur less of an "ass" and with a better upgrade system then what is currently in place. Instead of Xur having each and every version of a new upgraded exotic he should have "upgrade packages". One for a primary weapon, one for a special weapon and one for heavy weapons. These packages will have the same cost as they currently have. But with these packages you can upgrade whatever exotic primary weapon of your own choosing without having to wait for Xur to have one in his inventory. The same idea applies to exotic armor pieces. No longer does a player have to wait perhaps a month or two before getting to upgrade his exotic and secondly considering the price is pretty steep anyway it won't be easy/cheap to upgrade all your exotics within a couple of weeks anyway. Now my next idea is to have the ability to upgrade the current legendaries (27 and 30 light for armors and 300 attack for weapons) to 33 light and 331 attack with weapon packages from the Gunsmith and then adding another vendor called the Armorsmith who will sell armorpackages. This means that playing Vault of Glass is still something people will do because certain weapons and armors only drop inside the Vault and it will keep with the theme of the game. Having a trusted weapon from years back at your side still going strong after perhaps years would be awesome. And add some personality to the game and your Guardian. Now my second idea is to implent a upgrade system for lower quality weapons and armors. Which basically is upgrading a white armor to green, a green armor to blue and then at last getting it to legendary. The same also applies for weapons. Lets say you find a gun you really really like. It is only a ucommon weapon. But the impact, stability, rate of fire and magazine size is excellent and you really like the feel of it. Well now you should be able to upgrade that weapon at the Gunsmith for a fee of 1,500 glimmer and lets say 50 weapon parts. And presto it becomes a blue level 18 weapon! Upgrading the gun will also add a random perk to the weapon which you can then pay another 1000 glimmer to reroll until you get the perk you want. After "smithing" the weapon it will arrive at the special orders vendor. So the next step now is making that gun a legendary weapon. The process is basically the same. But the price is different and this time it will cost more then just glimmer and weapon parts. Now it will be 5000 glimmer, 100 weapon parts and 6 ascendant energy. Like before the upgraded weapon gains another random perk but it will keep the old ones which you paid for already. And like before you can reroll the new perks for a cost of 1,000 glimmer. Now the new vendor the Armorsmith will offer exactly the same services for common, uncommon, rare and legendary armors. Instead of costing weapon parts the Armorsmith will require glimmer and ascendant shards and the class relevant upgrade materials like hadronic essence, sappire wire and plasteel plating. Again this will add to the feeling of becoming your own legend and a real Guardian of the light. It will also make use of the existing armor templates already in the game which in my mind deserves to be seen and worn. Bascially this will give the Gunsmith and special orders lady a job and to continue to be relevant. Which they currently just aren't except for a couple of times when doing either an exotic bounty or needing ammo crates. Other suggestions I think is needed are stuff like: [b]More space in the Vault More activities in the Tower Weapon shaders/ability to "paint" weapons at the Gunsmith The ability to not wear armor in the Tower which means adding a new armor slot for "casual wear" or something similiar A barber for customizable haircuts and tattoos/scars A paint job for your ship and sparrow A way to rotate your Guardian, weapons, armors, sparrows, ships etc. in the preview window[/b] Now these are just some of my suggestions for the time being. But I really hope people will comment and improve and expand on my ideas for Destiny. Also I hope someone from Bungie picks this up and passes it along so we hopefully can get some of this stuff into the game at one point. And at last I would like to thank everyone that bothered to read my suggestions and ideas. Please comment and keep this alive! :)
