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.

I bought the division 2 days ago and to be honest mate, its a decent game but nowhere near as good as destiny in terms of gun play and mechanics. And walking new york city from one end to the other is no fun at all. They should of added some sort of quick travel without the everywhere being locked until you discover it. I'm bored of destiny at the minute and even I can see that it's still a top end game for new players and most of the older players will always come back for a new dlc.

I'm starting to get over The Division already. People complain about lack of content in Destiny, but Destiny has wayyyyy more than The Division. I've been playing Division since it's release, it's been fun, but the side missions and encounters are complete repeats, just higher level enemies. It's too easy to get the higher end gear. The missions are great fun, but how many times can you replay them? Patrolling is pointless and dull. The Dark Zone is fun, but stupidly set up for solo players. The Division will 100% not rack up as many hours as Destiny. In 18 months no one will be playing.

All good ideas but COVER BASED SHOOTERS SUCK
-
I think the boss fights are way more predictable in Destiny. Most of them are stationary the entire time. Atheon, warpriest, Golgoroth, daughters. And some even manage to move a little. Crota, Omnigal, phogorth, undying mind, ir uk, etc...
-
Has Division even been out for 2 weeks yet? People just want attention and to troll I swear. Go post a gym pic on FB or something.
-
Trolling again? Ugh.
-
Destiny could learn from destiny.

Edited by zose: 3/19/2016 4:03:38 AMHere's some of my points on the division Everyone complains about destiny copy pasting missions but division quite literally has EVERY encounter doing the same thing with the EXACT same dialogue. There literally no changes in any of the encounters and the side missions only change the dialogue. Everything else about them stays the EXACT same throughout each zone. Division story? LOL it's story is about as bad as vanilla destiny. Go here kill this guy cause he's a leader of a group that you're just suppose to shoot at for some reason. There's no build up for the bosses and the only way you can find out why their group is bad is if you take the time out to go out down the Intel (*cough* *cough* just like the ghosts *cough* *cough*).

Didn't you make a thread which was pretty much the opposite of this one and got banned for it? That's kind of funny.

Bungie could learn a thing or two from 343.
-
#1 made me lol! And I haven't even played Division
-
Edited by BetrayTheHeart: 3/19/2016 4:03:37 AMThe Division did not kill Destiny...having played both, I can tell you that the Division has not lived up to the hype so far. People insist that the Division will be better in the future...but Ubisoft is bound to drop the ball lol
-
I'm in awe of how many people got so hurt over this and took it so serious. It's satire people! It's a joke! Laugh a little!
-
Omg this! So much of this! LOL
-
This is perfect.[spoiler]Gjallarhorn with shank burn LMFAO [/spoiler]
-
We once Killed "Riker" a gangboss and an NPC said : They got Alex!!!! I was like : ITS A DECOY!!!!
-
I'm enjoying division but I loled. I do think both games could learn from eachother.
-
I play both games, i like both games, i got my moneys worth out both games, both games have there pros an both have there cons. Your allowed to like both games regardless of what anyone says Dont be a sheep
-
Or just not advertise for a good story, that's what the division did right
-
Actually if you honestly think about it Ubisoft's The Division learned from Bungie's Destiny.
-
I agree, thousands of twelve year olds can't be wrong.
-
Double the E and triple the C and now you have bananas
-
If this is that clever (I hope it is), the PvP change is legitimately a cool idea, and more in line with MMO's anyways if that was the goal. A bounty filled area with high level NPC's and the potential for players to encounter hostile patrols. Going by the early ViDoc's I bet you that idea was on the floor at some point.

Change : classes- Get rid of all classes and give each player the same abilities , make sure each player feels exactly the same at all times.
