The title is a joke but bear with me. If you couldn't even make it this far in the post without replying about black ops 3 then I'm laughing hard because that's not what this thread is about.
This has been something I've been saying on comments for a while but it's about time I got around to putting it in its own thread.
Destiny needs player created content. In a game of this scope with this much of a gap period between dlc batches something needs keep players occupied besides the usual grind, something for players to fall back on when they're in orbit and dont really feel like doing anything.
The lack of player created content stunts player customization. My guardians are just a collection of armor and weapons and a shader and an emblem that I only had my hand in selecting, not crafting or forging my own design for my warriors of the light. When armor and weapons get left behind/frozen it hurts more than it would if I had a hand in designing other features of my characters that would survive such freezes no matter what.
Now what kind of content are we talking about? This happens every time I talk about destiny but we have to look at halo for a second.
Custom emblems really allowed some creativity in individuals and it also allowed for clans to form their own banners. I know a lot of people made pink gradients with a grenade on the end but that's something that can easily be fixed by a report feature to ensure the T rating.
Creating shaders/class items would also help greatly. Perhaps with the new collections for shaders we can take apart the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors of individual shaders and make our own.
Transmog is another thing that has been discussed. Take one item and give it the stats of another. Infusion sort of helps with that but with legendary armor freezes happening yet again it's time we start asking for it again so we can look how we want.
Bringing my title back into this: custom gun skins. It can be as simple as shaders or as complex as a full fledged paintshop.
Aesthetic content I think is something that is the most feasible for destiny 1. This other stuff is more along the lines of consideration for destiny 2 content:
Custom games/private crucible lobbies. It's a common request but it's one I'll add here. Add features like weapon restrictions and you can make a game mode where you can only use swords. Or you can add burns/modifiers to crucible games.
Forge mode. It's a long shot I know but you can do it. I believe in you guys. Vex architecture is basically the equivalent of the forerunner aesthetic from the Halo forges and it would make a good initial palate for a forge mode.
Custom weapons and armor. Naturally this should be limited to one legendary or exotic piece per character or account. If we could create our own full set of gear there'd be no point in getting drops. But having some kind of unique item that we have a hand in creating would be pretty neat. I've seen the idea of a custom exotic Khvostov where we go on different branching quest paths that result in different variations unique to our decisions.
These are just some basic ideas that have been thrown around. Feel free to add your own ideas of content you would like to be allowed customization features. Most of this may be in the community wish list but it's important to keep bringing it up so Bungie can see what we care about.

Bump.

Black ops 3 will definitely have a larger player base than destiny but it's not because of the -blam!-ing paint shop! BO3 is for idiots who can aim for more than a fraction of a second and are ok with re-buying the same game on the same engine every year. #NOBO3BS
-
Eh I'm gonna bump this because I'm feeling the "we need player created content" itch again.
-
We need a forge mode
-
-
-
Problem is if Bungie gave us the tools to create content then nobody would buy their DLC's because I fully believe that (and I know I usually tease them) the little kids on these forums and playing this game probably could create far more interesting content than Bungie could ever possibly envision.
-
Player-created gear should only be available through clans, and must be approved before it enters the game. Otherwise, all the current cosmetics will be made useless.
-
I can see why people like this, but I kind of hate it. It totally destroys immersion. I hate getting killed by pink/green/purple/red/blue/etc. guns, its super annoying. *Bungie adds it in immediately after I post this*

Edited by DarkManatee: 8/31/2015 10:19:46 AMBo3 unbelievably ripped destiny off with copying. It was quite shocking in the beta to see that they added Supers that work the same way as destiny supers. Sunsinger revive, Golden gun, night stalker arrow, stormcaller electricity, Fist of Havoc... need I go on. CoD will sell enough to go on, but it has no ambition anymore. It won't effect destiny or any other game. CoD has been a humorous conversation for many for a few years now, long gone are the days when CoD owned the video game market Your post was good though :) I just felt like a rant
-
Activision will work real hard to make sure beither Destiny nor CoD kill each other. Why? Well business. You're welcome.
-
BO2 was the funniest thing ever like a junior-high textbook. D**KS ON EVERYTHING!!!
-
Lmao black ops 3 sucks ass i hated the beta. Last two cod releases have lost me as a customer.
-
Can't bring in a paintshop though, everybody would whine about how they're copying BO3. As much as I agree, everyone else would find a way to compare it to BO3 and shit on them for it.
-
Bump, I can see a ton of great player made content. It was great in halo. And even farcry4 has a forge mode, and it's fun to go and play the maps people make.
-
bungie is killing destiny just fine, by themselves. They really don't need help from anyone else!
-
I like it but they only work 1 hour a day.. Who's going to do it?
-
Custom emblems or shaders would be amazinf
-
Edited by Scorpius XX1: 8/31/2015 8:46:56 AMYeah just what we need, more ass cheek emblems and skittle colored weapons. Has it occurred to you that this is the last thing destiny needs? Quit trying to turn everything into COD and just go play COD. Lord knows there are enough Crappy ass call of duty games out there with their ridiculous pay for ugly ass camo micro transactions and endless supply of useless customizing shit that nobody looks at. Knock yourself out

-
Your title is onna call all the haters. But liked and bumped for Player Content.
-
Bump. Give us Forge Mode and I guarantee you have a dozen maps as good as anything in the game within 2 weeks.
-
BO3 is going to suck just like all cods have the last few years!
-
Mwhahahahahaha. I wil never trade destiny for cod. Cod is not a good game anymore. No real changes just esthetics stuff. Cod is dead to me ( and every other sane person)
-
funny thing is black ops 3 is using the same demonware servers and p2p matchmaking as crucible
