Having read the insightful threads from respectable members of this community on how The Division is [i]the[/i] Destiny-killer, aswell as witnessing the incredibly popular social-utopia that is the Division forum, I really think Bungie should take a page or two out of Ubisoft's book.
By making a few changes based on winning aspects of The Division, I firmly believe Destiny could once again be a great game.
[b]Change 1: Enemies[/b] - Scrap every enemy and instead create a single race of dregs dressed in an assorted variety of cotton / polyester sweatshirts, scarves and hats. Buff enemy armor by 800%. Name them all Alex.
[b]Change 2: Bosses[/b] - Scrap all boss fight mechanics. Scrap every existing boss in lieu of one of the aforementioned enemies with a higher amount of HP and damage output. Pick a noun at random, set as boss name.
[b]Change 3: PVP[/b] - Scrap the existing PVP completely, and instead allow guardians to kill eachother in a specific area of Patrol mode. Players must complete a Warsat event to keep any collected loot. Have deaths reduce light level.
[b]Change 4: Locations[/b] - Scrap the moon, venus, mars, saturn, and reef. Scrap patrol matchmaking.
[b]Change 5: Endgame[/b] - Scrap all endgame content in lieu of a max light level difficulty for 5 story missions.
[b]Change 6: Mobility[/b] - Scrap sparrows, pikes, heavy pikes and interceptors. Scrap jumping. Scrap crouching. Buff jogging. Add shadestep to every class.
[b]Change 7: Gear[/b] - Hand out legendaries and exotics freely, but with a 99% chance of having a useless roll. [i]Sweet! A Gjallarhorn! ..Aw man, Shank burn..[/i]
[b]Change 8: Other[/b] - Make the game third-person. Nerf strange coin drop rate. Scrap existing supers. Players must queue to interact with vendors.
These suggestions are the result of hours of tireless research.

Sounds accurate. I'd [i]love it[/i].

I don't get the comparison. Did you play the division yet?
-
Almost thought you were serious for a sec. +1 internet for you.
-
Simply amazing!
-
Well done!
-
That's awesome! I actually loled. All those things are so true. Division looks beautiful, but after like 20 hours... boredom.
-
scrap jumping, scrap crouching, add shadestep for every character.... i lost it here. lolololololololololololol. too funny. too true: those are the reasons i did NOT buy.
-
The satire in this post is incredible. Well done sir!!

this is gold

This was a beautiful post, but let's be real. Both games can learn from each other. Division needs to create a bigger world of lore. The story is lackluster, just as destiny's is, but at least destiny has supporting lore. Destiny needs to actually integrate that lore. The echo system is an amazing way to do story telling in an involving way. Perhaps have echos of your guardian from before the collapse? Perhaps have it so that when you find a grimore (butchered that spelling) it plays an echo of that event, or something relevant to it. The division could do with a more snappy feedback to actual gameplay. At the moment fights always end with the highest level gear winning out. While it should have an advantage, skill and coordination should be king. And finally, destiny's loot system needs to be less based in RNG. If players were perhaps guaranteed a legendary every few pvp games, out every few strikes, I feel that more people will be satisfied with the lot system.

Game of the year Bruh

Wow, the vehemence is palpable.
-
So instead of humans. Make enemies chimps, hippos, and walruses. Then just reskin them each dlc and sell it for $40/dlc. Then instead of making it challenging with a team. You can solo the raid in 20 mins with one Op gun.
-
you had me at 'alex'
-
this hits the nail on the head.
-
On point. This post is everything I wanted to say and how I feel.
-
I LOL'd at the Alex part. "That got Alex!" ----Hard Light 4 Life--------------------
-
If they DO learn. Are you going to be upset?
-
someone got a link to the division forums. or an app?
-
HHAHAHAHA i was bout to make a post bout my feelings after bein hyped and playin the division And this just captures it completely
-
Lol that was great.

Funny, because most people I talk to actually like the game and my friends are all having fun again. The only time we have fun anymore on Destiny is Iron Banner, and that's largely because we get together as a group and crack jokes the entire time while I carry them XD Oh but by all means, keep defending Bungie as they gouge us for content that should have been free, take forver with updates because of their retardedly bad engine and even openly LIE to us. The Divisoin is far from perfect, but it's fun, different, and Massive has been quick and concise with updates and information. Hell even Diablo 3 is pretty goddamned good now, and that game was circling the drain for a long time straight from launch... so what's Bungie's excuse?
-
I could have learned from my teachers, but where's the [i]fun[/i] in that! XD

playing the division right now
