So there's this huge open landscape that bungie had created for us, with forests, oceans, mountains and volcanoes, what would YOU like to do there besides shooting and driving?
I think treasure hunting would be awesome where you search for pieces of ancient ship parts, which you can eventually assemble.

Edited by LecomingBegend: 5/21/2014 1:53:39 PM[b]Note[/b]: Every idea you see below is something we want. [b]Want can easily lead to expectation. Don't expect any of this to be in game.[/b] Most of these are serious, yet a few are just for laughs. Ideas I came up with: [b]Museums[/b] that have info on the most legendary Guardians, artifacts and loot found in PvE (could show items on all the planets so you know what to work for), and have clues from Bungie (audio logs, hidden words, pictures, and riddles) on how to find weapons and armor. [b]Halls of Fame[/b] for PvE and PvP where you can see statues of Guardians and watch highlights of their gameplay. [b]Theaters[/b] where you can watch and make highlights, machinima, montages, and movies from PvE and PvP with your friends. [b]Arenas[/b] where you can watch, compete with, and bid on other Guardians in variety of tournaments, matches, and events. [b]Arcade[/b] where you pay Glimmer to play arcade games. All of the Glimmer is given to the bum, [i]DE4THINC4RN4TE[/i]. Ideas the community came up with: [b]Libraries[/b] that have info on weapons, planets, and armor. [b]Libraries and Museums[/b] would have clues from Bungie (audio logs, hidden words, pictures, and riddles) on how to find weapons and armor. This would weed out the weak and lazy because they wouldn't have have the willpower to decode clues in order to unlock awesome weapons and armor. [b]Simulation Rooms[/b] where you can make maps from scratch, have simulated matches (custom games), and learn and improve skills through training. [b]Casinos[/b] where you can play games of chance with other players for Glimmer and gear. [b]Dance Halls[/b] that have dance competitions and every style of dance. [b]Housing[/b] so you can change your gear (weapons and armor), customize your living space, display your achievements, invite others to hang out while waiting for events (PvP, Raids, Strikes, Tournaments). You have a place to sleep so we don't have to sleep on the streets. That's [i]DE4THINC4RN4TE[/i]'s job, he's the city bum. [b]Guild Housing[/b] that must be bought using Glimmer. Guilds can have weapons, statues, loot, highlights from their journeys, and armor here. Guilds can also discuss ways to improve player skills, strategies for missions and tournaments, and player performance. [b]Race Tracks[/b] where you can watch, participate, and bet on track events and a variety of races. [b]Bar/Cantina/Nightclub[/b] exclusively for forum members. Your account here (B.Net account) would have to link up with your PSN or Gamertag. Think of the war stories we could hear. We would hear everything ranging from horror stories about fighting the Hive to myths about what we lies in wait on distant planets such as Neptune. The bar could be a combat area. Think of the Star Wars scene where Han Solo shoots Greedo. [b]Garage/Hangar[/b] places where you can customize your ship and your mounts. [b]Barber Shop/Salon/Beauty Parlor[/b] places where you can change the way your Guardian looks under their armor. [b]Armorers & Gunsmiths[/b] like futuristic blacksmiths. They could make you custom armor and weapons and upgrade your armor and weapons, yet you would have to find parts for the weapon or armor you want. [b]Plazas[/b] places in the tower where you can show of your weapons, trophies, and supers; everyone would be safe because in the plaza everyone would be invincible. [b]Black Market[/b] place where you can buy anything if you can pay the price. [b]Training Grounds[/b] a place for the weak and strong to improve their skills through a variety of tests. [b]Marketplace/Bazaar[/b], a place to set up shops. This would be an impressive element of the city and help create a truly remarkable experience. [b]Lab[/b] that is used to modify your gaming experience and research enemies. You mix chemicals together and drink them. They give you unique supers, gameplay effects (slower, faster, stronger, etc.), and color distortion (black and white, sepia, etc.) for a limited time. Research the bodies of enemies to figure out their weaknesses, strengths, and anatomy. [b]Taco Stand[/b] where Guardians can eat tacos to prepare for or reflect on missions. [b]Chess[/b], it's the perfect way to strategize. [b]Planning Room[/b] so strangers, guilds, friends, and factions discuss ways to improve player skills, strategies for missions and tournaments, and player performance. [b]Faction Headquarters[/b], a place where each faction has it's own massive guild hall featuring living spaces, courtyards, armories, public message boards, hangars, and rec rooms that house games of chance (poker, blackjack, etc.), board games, and arcade games. By leveling up within the faction you can be promoted and gain access to exclusive clubs, bigger and better quarters, and a premium ship docking area. [b]Observatory[/b], a place where you can study the Traveler and gaze at stars, planets, and comets. [b]ManBearPig[/b], if you need me to explain this you've been living under a rock. [b]Riddles[/b] hidden throughout the tower/city that give vague clues as to the location of weapons. [b]Target Practice[/b] and various other mini games for specific weapons. Each game would have leaderboards so we could see who the deadliest guardians are for different weapons. [b]Ghost Mechanic[/b], place where you could pay Glimmer to get new colors, voices, and shapes for your Ghost. [b]Bounty Missions[/b], the tower gives you a specific target and you set out on patrols to kill him/her/it. Difficulty may vary depending on how many you have done or experience such as stalking, tracking, planning for days. The target may be in a giant military camp so you gotta plan to kill him/her/it at night while he/she/it takes patrol alone or something crazy. [b]Cabal and Hive Strip Clubs[/b], nothing brings pleasure like Rhino titties and rotting Hive flesh. [b]Bathroom[/b], because everyone uses them. [b]Art Gallery[/b], a place where art is made and seen. Guardians can strike a variety of poses, the best ones will be made into statues. Photo booth, a place where up to 49 Guardians can take pictures together. These photos can be private so that only the Guardians who where in the picture can see them. A copy of the picture is sent to each of the Guardians in the picture so they can hang it on a wall at their house or do with it what they wish. [b]Armory and Firing Range[/b], the armory provides ammo so you don't have to waste your own. If you want you can leave your gun, which then becomes available for others to rent in exchange for glimmer which is given to you. [b]Morgan Freeman's Voice[/b], everything he says is awesome. [b]Radio Towers[/b], used by the FOTC for military intel and by civilians for news brodcasts, music, etc. [b]Awoken Clairvoyant[/b] hidden in a dark corner of a room hidden deep within the Tower, the pale glow of his eyes are the only things that give away his location. This clairvoyant gives you treasure maps, riddles, and audio logs that hint the location of rare items yet he requires a fee that must be payed in Glimmer. The fee increases depending on the rarity of the item, he can't help you find exotic items.
