Here is some ideas to keep the community more engaged on what destiny 2 has to offer. DISCLAIMER: I would like this to be the top trending post so hopefully it wont fall on deaf ears. Although some would disagree with these ideas. majority of these ideas seem fair and reasonable. I also hope that this post isn't drowned out by critics who only want to see the franchise fail or concerns of parts of the game that aren't a priority. With season of the Undying coming to an end, Shadowkeep won't hold the game for long if the seasonal content is drip-fed in the future. -[b]Strike specific loot[/b]. I'm not talking about nightfall. New weapons and armor introduced. no ships,emotes,or sparrows. just random rolled weapons with a unique perk attached to them (practically exotic tier only active against non-guardian opponents) and strike themed Armor. Each Strike should consist of 1 weapon and 1 strike themed armor piece for each class, making a grand total of 4 pieces of loot per strike -[b]Factions[/b]. D1 style. I think its safe to say and many would agree that faction rallies was trash. everyone was spamming lost sectors for tokens only for an ok roll of a weapon (That's static) from the winning faction of the week when in reality the winner never mattered because everyone could get said weapon for free if you pledged to winning faction. or pay 100000 glimmer for the weapon. The D1 version of how Factions was handled is far Superior Compared to D2 and many would agree. So instead Implement it in the game but with a twist. We already have the resources for these factions so make all faction weapons currently in the game random rolled. Another way would be to give the factions' Ritual weapons, for example... [quote]+ [u]Dead Orbit's Dire Promise[/u] Hand Cannon ritual roll can come with feeding frenzy/Snapshot Sights for the first perk choice and Swashbuckler\Explosive Payload for the second perk choice. +[u]New Monarchy's Quitclaim Shotgun III[/u] ritual roll can come with Slideshot/Auto-Loading Holster for the first perk choice and One-two Punch/Demolitionist for the second perk choice. +[u]Future War Cult's Memory Interdict Grenade Launcher[/u] ritual roll can come with Shield Disorient/Threat Detector for the first perk choice and Rampage/Full Court for the second perk choice.[/quote] The faction weapons can all be rotated out each season with other faction weapons giving these weapons worth the grind. but these ritual weapons aren't the only weapons that people would grind for. They can be random rolled by earning them via leveling up the faction that was pledged. Make the pledge choice difficult by choosing per reset so if I pledged to Future War Cult I would get the weapon quest to start out but if I chose another faction the next reset and haven't completed the weapon quest from FWC, I cant make any progression because I've pledged to another faction for the week. The more you level up in a faction, the more perks and rewards. the seasonal chart proves this can be done. For example... [quote]+Level 5 grants additional faction tokens when completing Strikes + Level 10 grants additional faction tokens when completing Crucible matches +Level 15 grants additional faction tokens when completing Gambit matches +Level 20 Grants additional faction xp when completing Strikes +Level 25 Grants additional faction xp when completing Crucible matches +Level 30 Grants additional faction xp when completing Gambit matches +Level 35 Grants a chance to receive a Faction Weapon/Armor drop when completing strikes +Level 40 Grants a chance to receive a Faction Weapon/Armor drop when completing Crucible Matches +Level 45 Grants a chance to receive a Faction Weapon/Armor drop when completing Gambit Matches +Level 50 Grants an Ascendant shard and an Exotic Faction Banner Emote ........so on and so forth[/quote][spoiler] (really I couldn't come up with anything else but its still a good idea) [/spoiler] [b]Planetary Vendors-[/b] *Rotate these vendors as well and give them ritual weapons that rotate out with random rolled rituals each reset.* Also make the planetary weapons/armor random rolled when completing planetary bounties or when turning in planetary materials. * now I know this statement may have confused someone but let me break it down.... [quote]EDZ's Devrim Kay has a weapon quest for the Cartesian Coordinate Fusion Rifle ritual weapon with Moving Target/Rangefinder for the first perk choice and Back-up Plan/Genesis for the second perk choice. 6 Resets Later...... EDZ's Devrim Kay has a weapon quest for the Cartesian Coordinate Fusion Rifle ritual weapon only this time it has Rangefinder/Auto-Loading Holster for the first perk choice and Subsistance/High-Impact Reserves for the second perk choice [/quote] [b]Heroic strikes-[/b] I remember when it was a thing In D1. it should be implemented in the list of vanguard activites that we currently have. more modifiers, difficult, yet do-able.[spoiler] see 1st paragraph in regards to loot however, with heroic it increases the chance of receiving the drop for strike specific loot.[/spoiler] [b]Prestige Raids-[/b] I know a lot of people don't raid as much as I do not saying that I raid a lot. We haven't had a prestige version of a raid since Spire of Stars. That should be implemented back into the game though some would disagree unless there is some incentive to completing prestige......Better Armor Stats. The armor can roll no lower than 60 overall and no higher than 90 overall. as well as a chance to receive a raid ornament drop in a encounter and by the way Bungie if you are reading this, the ornaments for Eater of Worlds and Spire of Stars are UNABLE to apply to raid armor 2.0 [b]Arms Week-[/b] Hakke,Suros,Omolon,Veist. The commonly known manufacturers that need to be implemented more in the game. give them a week with ritual weapons designed by them and handled by the gunsmith that people can grind for once per month preferably the last week of the month. [b]The Cryptarch-[/b] Give him a random legendary ritual weapon engram (call it a ritual engram) associated to his inventory that the player can receive once per week [b]Hawthorne-[/b] leave her be.... although as a clan, the founder of the clan should be able to create a clan shader via [url]bungie.net[/url] that is completely optional for the clanmates to wear, a one time creation so if the shader needs to be changed a new clan has to be created [b]Amanda Holiday-[/b] its been quiet on that side of the tower since Cayde's death giving players less reasons to go to that side of the Tower. So Amanda should have some sort of bounty for ship parts as well as new ships for sell. we have dozens of ships now and Amanda Holiday should have the blueprints for practically every legendary ship [b]Eververse-[/b] I don't think it should be removed from the game due to Destiny 2 becoming free-to-play and Bungie being its own Publisher, so they have to make money somehow, However I believe we the community can All agree one way or another, that there is more emphasis on Eververse than any other aspect of the game. [b]Crucible-[/b]LMAO I don't know where to start with this...... Fusion Rifles(here's looking at you Erentil) need to be looked at. reaching max Valor should reward Pinnacle Gear once per season. Not saying that crucible doesn't need anymore incentives but please if anyone is reading this feel free to add incentives in regards to crucible [b]Shaxx-[/b] Whatever happened to the Crucible Quartermaster from D1? Implement him back into the game as a vendor with rotating weapons with random rolls. There are a total of 17 Crucible weapons(if you exclude the RC/RB LH/NF and RTK) that can be put in rotation with new perks added in the pool. [b]Zavala-[/b] If i'm not mistaken we had a Vanguard Quartermaster as well, someone correct me if I'm wrong. either way it should be implemented into the game just like the Crucible Quartermaster. There are a total of 19 weapons (if you exclude Wendigo/Oxygen/Edgewise) That can be put in rotation with new perks added in the pool [b]SRL-[/b] Bring it back Permanent with its own Armor and let Amanda Holiday Be the Vendor for it. New Tracks, as well as few D1 Tracks This game is pinched by the neck and needs to breathe. I'm not speaking for everyone when I say this....But I would much rather for Bungie to work with what they have in the game already verses adding new content that creates bugs and glitches for the old content. [spoiler]If making content is hard, then whats the excuse for content that is already created?[/spoiler] Edit: some comments I saw were about pricing and here is my take on that...... We shouldn’t get charged because legacy players such as myself and many others already have the y1 content. New light players shouldn’t pay for it because they never got the opportunity to experience the year 1 content ie factions, which could spark amazement for more engagement in activities. The only thing I would think is fair is new faction and planetary ornaments, emotes(devim Kay stance in the edz tower) through eververse. Repurposing content and selling back what we already have doesn’t sound practical from a business standpoint and The Community Would Be Outraged Edit: maybe ritual rolls for planetary vendors are a little over the top. So instead have the vendors rotate the planetary weapons each reset with random rolls
