Open letter to Bungie: How to bring Destiny back to life in simple steps.

1. Make all Raids, Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, and Iron Banner relevant by providing you with max light gear. Each activity will have its own set of new gear at max light and each aforementioned PvE activity will have a difficulty that is above our light cap. If you want to be max light by running Vault of Glass then you can, while I can be max light by running Trials. Choices and options never hurt. [b]OR[/b] see edit 4. 2. For PvP, add private matches (bounties disabled during private matches to avoid exploits) and dedicated servers (or do something else to significantly reduce lagging). Also, add custom rules. If I want, I can play a match with shotguns and melee only, etc. 3. Bring back elemental primaries and implement them into Kings Fall and future raids. You will be able to get elemental primaries from all raids, ToO, and PoE. You will NOT be limited to just Fatebringer. [b]OR[/b] introduce a consumable that you can infuse into any primary weapon to give it an element. This consumable would obviously be extremely rare. Maybe even only sold by Xur for 160 legendary marks. You will have to grind to get it, but it'll definitely be worth it. 4. Sparrow League and Queens Wrath should be permanent events. Now, I'm not a fan of either of these events. However, many people enjoyed these modes so its more for them to do. They might not enjoy Trials the way I do. [b]OR[/b] add a 4th event and have that, Iron Banner, Sparrow League, and Queens Wrath alternate every week. This way, it'll be a month before you play that event again, but another event will start right away. 5. Remove all consumables and items from Nightfall rewards such as ghosts, passage coins, motes of light, etc., and replace them with ONLY legendary/exotic armor and weapons with a minimum of 300 light. Bring back radiant light (or whatever that XP boost was called for completing the Nightfall). 6. The Tower should include an area that let's you access a kiosk for in-game LFG. 7. Add the remaining Exotics that are currently in the armory. Shinobu's Vow, Thagomizers, Astrocyte Verse, Transversive Steps, etc., all need to be put in the game already. Bungie, if you follow the steps above, it will resurrect your game. Thanks for reading. [b]Edit:[/b] Thank you guys for all the bumping and for the mixed opinions on why this would/wouldn't work. I'm glad we can offer our own point of views whether they agree or disagree with my original post. Bungie says our feedback will change the development of this game, so here it is. [b]Edit 2:[/b] I think Bungie should take some of this and implement it with a patch before The Division comes out. If this were to happen, Destiny could definitely survive the wave of gamers that will temporarily leave to play The Division or other AAA games. Maybe a $10 mini-DLC with only a brand new raid and raid gear. You guys created Vault of Glass and if you think twice as hard, you can one up it. This would definitely bring gamers back from other games while Bungie prepares a TTK like DLC or Destiny 2. [b]Edit 3:[/b] Maybe, every month, the vendors could change their inventories? Maybe the weather can change with seasons. Snowing in winter, etc. Also, Eva Levante's inventory has only been changed once. [b]Edit 4:[/b] Would it be better if only the most recent raid provided you with max light gear while all the others rewarded you with max Light -10?

    All you need is one step......restore everything back to the way it was in house of wolves. Okay two steps......anything we have previously ascended with etheric light or an exotic shard gets patched up to 310 light. Not max but useable and infusible to 320.

  • Unfortunately there's to much duct tape and bailing wire holding this project together. I think that it would be better to scrap it and start over...? I like your ideas and would enjoy having a full set of relevant planets to play again. It seems as if Bungie fell victim to their own hype and failed to plan past the tip of their noses. Devs are gonna scrap "old" content during the progression of a game like this, I get that, however they scrapped content before it was even close to being "old". What was the starting budget...like 500 million...? Well they're playing checkers with 500 million when they should be playing chess and really thinking things through. If they were planning things through and this was the result, than this game is doomed.

    • Oh and don't forget PvE events that the forums are crawling with. Survival mode or a war event these small things are easier to implement then a brand new raid but will keep us entertained. As long as the challenge and the loot is there. Here is my version. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/185959212/0/0

      • 8. Unnerf the respawn time at The Steppes. That place used to be teeming with life. Now it's a desolate wasteland. So what if it was a place where guardians farmed bounties. So what. Jesus. Quit nerfing our fun because it's not what you think we should be doing. Unnerf the FUN! Stupid assholes.

        • Bring back all of my VoG and early IB weapons (fix my Felwinters range for pve and Jolder Hammers field scout) and let me pick up my Ghorns and ice breakers again along with updating the VoG with new gear to acquire and I MIGHT think about coming back for a time.

            • I think we need new strikes and raids not the old ones that will get old fast did that all year 1 we need more strikes and raids with release 1 raid and 5 strikes is a joke 3 raids an 15 strikes sound worthy to me then you can make the game Grindy when your doing something new when you do the same thing over and over its borin we need more content not events we want raids and strikes more challenges

            • Agreed with all of these. Also: add public matchmaking for raids or add an in-house LFG feature to the game so we can't stop going to a random site looking for fireteam members. You already touched on that with a Tower lobby of sorts. Now, Raid matchmaking doesn't mean give up what we've got now in exchange for this new feature. Nothing like what they did win the year 1 Weekly missions where once matchmaking was introduced, you were not able to solo it if you wanted to. I mean before each raid, you can choose either public or private. Public will launch you into matchmaking mode and you'll be paired with people who are also looking to raid. No ifs or buts if we get paired with newbs. To avoid that, we would choose Private, which is what we've got now. You can launch a raid by yourself (yeah, good luck) or handpick your team. No one can join your team unless they get an invite. Just my two cents.

                • Vendor inventory should refresh every 12-24 hours similar to the gunsmith. Also, It would be better if all raids provided max-light gear. That's what all the raids are. END GAME content. Its stuff we do after we've maxed ourselves on the strikes, etc. Its never bad to give people more options.
