Weather!
Destiny needs an epic weather system. We had some sick thunder storms in Southeastern Utah today, and it got me thinking. Wouldn't it be amazing to stalk a patrol of Fallen warriors through the jungles of Venus during a heavy rainstorm? Visibility would be poor, you would be able to see the rain running down your visor. Water would be dripping from the trees and buildings. It would all be very atmospheric, no?
Here's another one. You get caught in a blinding sandstorm on the surface of Mars. You can barely see where you are going, when you stumble upon a Cabal unit taking cover in the shell of an old building. You look at them, they look at you. You then proceed to duke it out while you can barely see one another!
Okay, one last scenario. You are exploring the wilds of Earth at night. A menacing thunderstorm proceeds to roll overhead. It becomes quite dark, to the point where you have to use your Ghost's light and periodic flashes of lightning to keep your bearings. Then, as the wind howls through your cloak, Hive start to pour from every crevice. The once familiar landscape is transformed into a dark shadow of fear and darkness. As you struggle to survive, and are about to overwhelmed, you see another light peek over the crest of the hill. Another Guardian! Together you fend off the relentless enemy and retreat back to the safety of the Tower.
I'm just saying, weather would make familiar landscapes feel new, different, and exciting. Everything would become a hundred times more atmospheric and awesome, leaving players craving another chance to have another epic opportunity. If any one else has a cool weather situation you would like to share, feel free to do so! Let's see how many different ideas we can build up!

I'd love it but i don't expect it until it's still cross gen. If they can implement it in a patch i'd be overjoied
-
During a fire fight and lightning cracking down and blowing trees apart. Sweeeeetttt! Perhaps a dream
-
This would be awesome!
-
Would be amazing

1 Replyprobably a pipe dream for this iteration of the game. but it's a fantastic idea. it would definitely extend the shelf life on the environments.
-
They already said there would be weather and even showed images of it snowing
-
7 RepliesLets be real.. Theres probably weather in the game. It's Bungie people..
-
different weather as the game progresses would be great, and snow on earth at xmas would be ideal!
-
while cool this would demonstrate too many inconsistencies imo. adding possible weather damage and have lightning added to an algorithm of rng's among what the game is producing already. loot, enemy A.I and etc we already have minor weather effects and a day/night cycle. we are in the barrens of old russia aside from harsh winters I cant see any adverse effects belonging to that terrain.

5 RepliesSolar storms, the darkness did something to the sun so every now and again it flares out in wild storms sending waves of solar radiation throughout the system, coming like lightning storms every now and again and the radiation waves as frequent as the lightning, but your ghost gives you a warning telling you to take cover behind something sturdy or risk being blasted away in a puff of ash. And the best part would be knowing that if you're on earth when it happens, you know that the Mars dwellers have it coming in only a few minutes too, and so on and so forth

Agree!
-
Heavy rainstorms would be LEGEN wait for it DARY! LEGENDARY!
-
Just so long as we don't get suddenly killed because of a tornado getting dropped on our heads. Sure. Would make AMV's and other things more interesting too.
-
I'm down for epic weather. Though destiny has done a great job with time of day and events. It seems like it's already planned.
-
Tornados... Outrunning tornados by driving the jet bike with one hand while using the other to shoot the fallen who are also trying to escape/shoot you. Like a motorcycle shoutout battle race lol
-
I love it Imagine being on mars in the middle of a sand storm and taking out cabal who have no idea your there
-
I agree, think this would be pretty cool.
