An Extensive List of Ideas That Could Benefit Destiny
This is a re-post of an existing thread and I am creating it to help it gain more recognition. The original topic and poll is in #feedback, so I'll to provide a link to that as well. To vote in the poll go to the original post here: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71446392/0/0
Just a list of suggestions that a friend (astrological123) and I came up with and/or saw on the forums. Note that we don't realistically expect for Bungie to see or consider these ideas, and these are merely our views on things that they could do to improve Destiny in the future. Also note that we absolutely love what this game is right now and we are not trying to say that this game is terrible by providing such a long list. I'll go into more detail if anything needs clarification.
1. Sparrow Races
2. More Sparrows
3. More Sparrow Stats (to make the sparrow races more enjoyable and more like a racing game)
4. More Class Items
5. Higher Character Customization
6. Unique Caves
7. Secret Bosses
8. Vanity Items for in the Tower
9. More Equippable Exotics
10. Player-designed items (Contests for designs every month?)
11. More Factions
12. Different Beginning Stories Varying by Race
13. Paying for Dance Lessons (Makes for more dances/getting to choose your dances)
14. More Easter-Eggs
15. Flying Ships Through Space (Optional, like what they did with Kingdom Hearts....but please, no gummi ships and trippy levels)
16. Offline Play
17. Player-Made Maps (Contests for designs every month?)
18. More NPCs
19. Clan Hangouts (Purchasable with HUGE amounts of glimmer.)
20. Alternating Public Events (Maybe three different public events per area?)
21. More Unique Ships
22. Metroid & Guardians of the Galaxy themed armour if at all possible (Highly doubt this will even be considered.)
23. Samus's Ship (Again, I don't expect this to be considered, but it'd still be awesome.)
24. More Random Vendors Like Xur
25. A Tower Library to Replace Grimoire Cards
26. Higher Level Cap (I'm talking crazy high. Like in the thousands.)
27. Higher Glimmer Cap (Again, much, much higher.)
28. Purchasable (with Glimmer, of course) Player Homes/Furniture
29. More Armour
30. More Weapons
31. Unique Areas to Explore Outside of Missions/Strikes/Raids
32. Higher Tier Items (Several higher tiers)
33. Some Sort of Crafting System
34. More Materials for Crafting System
35. Faction Stories (Why did you get rid of those?)
36. No More Grimoire Cards (Trust me, this enrages most of the community. No more.)
37. Hot Buttons for Perishables
38. No Flying Straight to Missions (This makes the game feel too linear and guided. Let us make our way to the locations on our own.)
39. Interactive Load Screen (Astro said it, I don't understand, either.)
40. Splitscreen
41. Sidequests (TONS of these)
42. Exotic Bounties have their own section in the inventory
43. Player More involved in story
44. Radio (Like in Fallout or SR4)
45. Fighting Venus's Dragons! (And the Moon's Birds! Okay, I get that those are probably just satellites.)
46. Dead Ghosts Give Stat Boosts/Points, etc. (We need an incentive besides a trophy/achievement)
47. Message Board in the Tower for Forums (Let us view the forums in-game!)
48. Monthly Added Story Missions + New Area for those missions (Areas could simply be blocked off until FREE release of mission)
49. New Raid Every Two Months (This is do-able, right?)
50. See K/D rate while inspecting players (Players can change who can see their K/D)
51. Compensation Items for Maintenance/Server Problems (Example: One Strange Coin for Each hour of inaccessibility)
52. More Areas on Earth Besides Russia (Japan, anyone?)
53. Traveler creates new "mini-planets" for some story-related reason (It could be included in it's waking process? One new planet every four months?)
54. Option to Join Exo Stranger's Side (It seems like we're on opposing sides, anyway.)
55. More Info on the Exo Stranger
56. Actual Survival Mode (Send forth the Hive)
57. Main Story Altering Events (take up to a month or two) (everyone's involved and helps affect the game. I figure this one will need clarification.)
58. 1v1 PvP/Private PvP sessions (challenge other players or teams from other clans)
59. Cross-Platform (Come on, we know you can do this)
60. "Skyrim-Like" Leveling System (Skill Trees and everything. Including Prestige)
61. Dual Wielding Skill (There's nothing I like more)
62. SWORDS!
63. Better Items Purchasable with Marks After Faction Ranks of 3 (We need more incentive)
64. Higher Mark Cap
65. Customize Armour Shaders (purchase and choose the three colours)
66. Assign Armour Shaders to separate pieces of armour. (Ex: Green gloves with red helm)
67. A Hair Stylist/Barber/whatever you would call someone who cosmetically tampers with an Exo's appearance
68. Ability to make purchases/receive bounties and mail in the companion app's Tower map.
69. More storage space in the vault
70. Can carry a larger amount if shaders and ships in inventory
71. Explore (at least some of) the Last City!
72. More (non-preorder exclusive) Ghost cases!
73. Trading items of equal rarity. (This would solve the problems of charitable people handing over exotics to new players and people getting exotics that they can't use for their class)
74. Class items give stat boosts and are upgradable
75. Race-exclusive factions
76. Races have different stats and/or abilities
77. Choose sitting position (female vs. male seems a little sexist)
And that's pretty much all I could think up. Feel free to suggest things for me to add to the list, everyone! Sorry if my random caps bothered you, I had something going and then it got weird. Poll Question: Do you mainly agree with this list?
Ideas from the replies:
1. bringDaRawkus suggested: players can mark themselves as looking for a fireteam, and a short description of what they're looking to do.
2. xxxWarxPigxxx suggested: ghost voice packs.
3. BriGuy suggested: custom load out sets of armour, weapons, and subclass settings (like custom armour sets from Monster Hunter!)
4. Soki suggested: shared faction reputation between characters or ability to purchase items for other classes from the factions.
5. souf92xx suggested: The ability to customize the way your weapon looks by using shaders or combining it with materials or plans
6. Firesenz suggested: Stat Boosts and effects on the appearance of armour when wearing full sets of matching armour.
7. ORPHNCRIPPLR suggested: Add a random element to strikes, meaning that enemies spawn in different places and vary in quantity so that every strike run feels a bit more unique.
8. Bum309 suggested: Some side quests help flesh out the story of the worlds of Destiny and add lore.
9. nycekillz516 suggested: Option to move radar to other parts of the screen (Sometimes on certain consoles notifications pop up and block the radar)
10. Gytanzo suggested: Pets
11. cedeqa suggested: Have Factions fight each other over owning land in patrols and such
12. cedeqa suggested: Materials show on radar
13. cedeqa suggested: Ability to pay to have ascendant materials removed from items so they can be used for other items/purposes
14. cedeqa suggested: Factions have communicated political goals, history / back story and beliefs so one would align themselves to what the faction is about.
15. cedeqa suggested: Teleporting to popular local locations without having to go into orbit.
16. xStingingBEEx suggested: Ability to wield a hand cannon while riding a sparrow.
17. souf92xx suggested: Different armour sets that drop from the Raid (everyone who wants to be lvl 30 has to wear the same armour as every other lvl 30 at the moment, we need variety and individuality!)
18. profilewon suggested: unique drops (materials that could be used for crafting) from different small enemies (like in any MMO out there, making our farming mean something more) and large enemies alike.
19. NOTAGhero heard from another guy and suggested: Different HUDs for helmets/ customizable HUD modules that you can equip, for things like warning signs, grenade arch, etc.
20. aem suggested: More varied armour styles (ex: shorter/longer warlock robe and hunter cape styles) so that everyone looks a bit more unique
21. Tangledvandalist suggested: Space invaders mini-game during load screens.
22. jasssen suggested: Exo Stranger faction
23. litrosemore suggested: extra tab in menu to view online clan members (this way we don't have to add all of them to our friends list)
24. timmeh999 suggested: Tournaments between clans (with monthly or yearly prizes)
25. Gromit858 suggested: Larger battles between the alien races (ex: multiple Fallen Walkers battling with hordes of Hive)
26. Totsy30 suggested: "HUD editors" (examples are: ability to track player's stats, such as kills, and ability to view every boss and the loot and drop rates of that loot that can come from that boss) (See their original reply for clarity)
27. SevXcore suggested: Faction-themed/exclusive sparrows
28. StifMeister (and a few others, I believe) suggested: Shooting ranges in the Tower
29. Nox Magnus suggested: Taco Tuesday, a day which a special visitor arrives at the Tower and throws a taco fiesta, complete with 1v1 PvP brawls in the middle of the Tower which others can watch and dance parties. Don't pretend like this idea isn't absolutely amazing.
30. SevXcore suggested: Blink is compatible with your Sparrow/Sparrow can be upgraded to use Blink (Sparrow can teleport short distances in the direction it is facing
31. Agito Suggested: Numbered Health Indicator
Look to the comments for the other part of the list.

Tldr it all but I think at higher faction reps, you unlock titles that appear above or below your gamertag. Like level 10 dead orbit would be: Jaso333 [i]The Dead[/i]

1 ReplyNeeds a grifball style playlist(swords and relics?) Needs an infection game mode(thralls as infected, each guardian gets a standardized shotgun/hand cannon). Huge 50 person PvE events where you must defend the city walls from a 20-30 wave invasion, level increasing with each wave. Weekly/nightfall strikes should be new strikes every week. That way it's even more challenging so we have to make strategies on the go(harder to cheese). Just some of my ideas

Edited by DarKrimzinRayne: 10/23/2015 7:15:15 AM[b]Ability to assign emotes to specific controls/D-pad? [/b] A new dance shouldn't be activated on the point emote, and similarly, I should be able to replace the wave emote with a new bow (or other greeting). [b]Also, release emotes from being race-specific?[/b] I understand if it's some type of cultural thing, but how can a character be physically restricted to a single motion, or unable to produce the same gesture of the (anatomically) same species?

Raids. Like 6. Before the sequel at least And A redo of the weapon system. What we have is great. But the linear progression of innate modifiers that vary from vendor to RNG pick up can make a weapon from being just a legendary to customized to your liking. IB reforging took the right direction but I wish it was expanded to all weapons. The modifiers themselves that we find in a gun are some that we totally disregard, have little to no effect or just complete wastes. I propose that weapon modifiers can be found as drops in game that not only add (or exchange from) another gun modifier but also changes is the aesthetic appearances. For instance high caliber rounds should be appear in a special magazine, or counter balance provides a bigger stock. Third eye, can be that aesthetic piece noticeable on the exotic MIDA scout rifle. In turn, such weapon modifiers would also have it own class system; uncommon modifiers, rare modifiers, exotic modifiers. Other modifiers can be as simple as just different scopes. This would add a new depth of gameplay, customization, and just personality to the weapons in Destiny. It can also be something different from the strike and crucible drops rate item finds that we most often break down. Think of having a shadow price, with counter balance (bigger stock), field scout for an increased magazine size (as depicted as a drum magazine), and third eye (the doodad found on the exotic MIDA scout rifle); that would be some awesome gun customization. I got this idea as my friends shadow price drop got glass half full, field scout and a third eye, and as you can see I envy him a lot...

Here is an idea for a better way to improve how you can select your weapon. Instead of going into your inventory to change your weapon that can be a problem if you are in the middle of a fight you could have three or two gear loadout slots for each of your weapon (Primary / Special / Heavy) that does not take away from your inventory space. So you can setup weapons you want to take on the raid, mission ect and change them using the D-pad, so short press the D-pad to change (Primary / Special / Heavy) weapons with up, left or right and keep point, wave or dance in the same places but use a long press on the D-pad to activate them. You can have the weapon icons appear as you press them then disappear after a couple of seconds

12 RepliesHere's my thoughts on these ideas and why. [u][b]The bad[/b][/u] [b]16. Offline Play[/b] This game really wasn't designed with offline in mind not to mention it leaves too much room for item dupeing/modding [b]22. Metroid & Guardians of the Galaxy themed armour if at all possible (Highly doubt this will even be considered.) 23. Samus's Ship (Again, I don't expect this to be considered, but it'd still be awesome.)[/b] These are IP's owned by other publishers and would cost a premium to use likenesses from these, So the expansions with these are likely to be expensive to cover the cost and misuse comes with all kinds of legal strings attached. Not worth the effort especially for so little. We should be building our own world not taking from others. [b]26. Higher Level Cap (I'm talking crazy high. Like in the thousands.)[/b] This would be a power crrep nightmare, wow is suffering from this issue as we speak where the sheer size of the damage numbers causes performance issues and boggs down the ui. Not to mention leaves massive gaps in performance between levels later on and dilutes matchmaking since it is also level based making wait times longer. [b]27. Higher Glimmer Cap (Again, much, much higher.)[/b] This is actually a clever way of keeping the economy balanced and keeping the value of glimmer in line. They don't want you to hold onto massive amounts of glimmer and keeps it valuable. [b]47. Message Board in the Tower for Forums (Let us view the forums in-game!)[/b] This would likely be unwieldy and annoying to use. They should bring features of community tools into the game clan tools are a prefect example but just copy pasting forum links into the game would likely be more annoying than helpful. [b]49. New Raid Every Two Months (This is do-able, right?)[/b] If you want content that has things like unique voice acting, new models, new mechanics that didn't ship with the game and for it to be bug free? No no it's not doable character modeling can take a month on it's own depending on the quality of the assets and range of motion available . [b]59. Cross-Platform (Come on, we know you can do this)[/b] This actually may not be possible depending on how each consoles infrastructure works. It COULD be done but adding a server to convert data back and forth may add pretty noticeable amounts of lag. Games like shadowrun working on 360 and PC worked because they didn't need that server to translate between each-other. [b]"Skyrim-Like" Leveling System (Skill Trees and everything. Including Prestige)[/b] The current leveling system is actually pretty good and better designed for a shooter than the skyrim system is. Having the system interact with ability's and even armor pieces creates some interesting loadouts. A skyrim leveling system leaves so many options and abilitys that mixing so many will likely create balance issues as well as making it even harder to find exotic armors that interact with talent choices you made. [b]76. Races have different stats and/or abilities[/b] See this is a mistake wow also made. If the game was a true RPG this would be ok, but the race choice should be strictly cosmetic because then you have a whole bunch of min maxing to worry about making some race class choices to be the "Obvious" correct choice and making players play race and class choices they may not like. 8 years of wow has proven this can and will happen not to mention other mmos. [b]74. Class items give stat boosts and are upgradable [/b] No keep them cosmetic or you take away even more customization to make your guardian stand out. Now that the bad is out of the way lets talk about the good. [u][b]The good[/b][/u] [b]1. Sparrow Races 2. More Sparrows 3. More Sparrow Stats (to make the sparrow races more enjoyable and more like a racing game)[/b] I actually like this idea as it makes things a tad deeper and adds side content. An issue many mmo's struggle with as of current. People blaze through the "Main" content so quick that they need some "smell the roses" content to sidetrack people. [b]6. Unique Caves 7. Secret Bosses[/b] These should be more common as it adds depth to the world and makes exploring more interesting and rewarding. [b]24. More Random Vendors Like Xur[/b] As long as it isn't more exotics for sale I like this idea as this adds to the world and makes it more interesting. More exotic vendors would just speed up gear progression too much and make Xur less unique. [b]25. A Tower Library to Replace Grimoire Cards[/b] This would be a good way to integrate the grim into the game. A nice way to bring the info into the game while still making sense. [b]33. Some Sort of Crafting System[/b] In a sense, there kinda is. Exotic bountys are profession-less crafting systems. It makes crafting take work and required gathering things from all over to create something awesome. They could take this a step further by having one "Crafting bounty" Allowing you to carry one only and creating an engram of your choice. This would act similar to exotic bountys but be a tad easier. Have several steps to it and give it's own requirements to get it. This makes it more interesting than standard mmo crafting systems and makes each build potentially useful. [b]41. Sidequests (TONS of these)[/b] This game needs more side content to choose from if we really want to feel agency and to find depth in the game world. Several plots to follow would go a LOOOOOOONG way to making destiny feel more alive and populated. [b]52. More Areas on Earth Besides Russia (Japan, anyone?)[/b] I would also like to see more of earth, I do admit looking at the earth from the moon, it looks like a good chunk of those lands might be outright obliterated. Sunk underwater or engulfed in some sort of energy (maybe fallout?) [b]56. Actual Survival Mode (Send forth the Hive)[/b] Another game mode for PVE is welcomed. Bungie is also proven they cna make a good horde mode so lets see it! [b]57. Main Story Altering Events (take up to a month or two) (everyone's involved and helps affect the game. I figure this one will need clarification.)[/b] See I like this idea, it would make the game feel very alive and make it feel like a moving front. I'd say the issue stands that we would have to alter old content to keep up with the story and that may be too much work. [b]63. Better Items Purchasable with Marks After Faction Ranks of 3 (We need more incentive)[/b] Too a point I like how vendor rep can give you a select items from the mail and keep incentive for ranking them up but I think adding a few more buy-able items for someone who REALLY put in that time would be a good addition or even limited access even based stuff when things like the iron banner comes up. Where each faction vie's for representation in the iron banner as an example. [b]71. Explore (at least some of) the Last City![/b] I personally would be very interested in exploring the "normal" citizens part of the city. We very much seem to be the high nobility at the top of our castle. Add some interaction maybe simple non combat quests their would be quite interesting and add more life to the game. [b]72. More (non-preorder exclusive) Ghost cases![/b] If you look at the databases, other cases are apparently in the game data already. We just don't have access to them. Chances are we will see this soon. They even have info on why they look the way they do from ceremonial to technical reasons. [b]67. A Hair Stylist/Barber/whatever you would call someone who cosmetically tampers with an Exo's appearance 77. Choose sitting position (female vs. male seems a little sexist)[/b] I don't see the sexism but ok, I do agree on giving access to re-customization and choosing emotes from a list that each race only has access too. It would make more unique characters and allow players to add some of their personality to their guardians. I personally would like some metal headbanging for exo's. [u][b]What I would add[/b][/u] - Having elemental damage on legendary primary's, though at a cost to other stats. This allows you to build around countering in PVE but trade off of the ability. -Wider range of status effects outside of raids The first time I was silenced was in VOG, only the titan has these ability's. It would be nice to see statuses that do things like slowing targets and disabling vehicles. These still fit well in a shooter and fall under zone control skills. Things like land mines and ward of dawn fall under that style of game-play. - wider arrays of heavy weapons It would be nice to see a grenade launcher, an anti-material sniper rifle with a charge up time. Maybe a mortar style rocket launcher that fires straight up and then comes straight back down so you can nick targets behind cover. Heck make a melee heavy weapon and flamethrowers. This would make the heavy weapon slot as unique as the primarys and secondarys. - Tranzmogging for the uninitiated, it's a wow term where you can change the appearance of your armor or any non-legendary set you have. Making character armor sets look the way YOU want them to instead of what your stuck with. Make it so you can transmogrify the appearance onto or from exotics so you know they are using them and your golden. -Other types of personal vehicles It would be nice to get another model of sparrow instead of just recolors. This also adds to the uniqueness of each sparrow.
-
Let me have a pike as my personal vehicle, without the gun of course. Oh and space ship battles.

Edited by Arrahant: 10/6/2014 8:02:08 AMAn AFK timer that automatically kicks players afk >1 minute in the Crucible and matchmade PVE events. The amount of AFK'ers I encounter in Vanguard Tiger and Crucible matches is redicilous. I no longer go into these modes because all that happens is I get worked up over these lazy ass AFK'ers. Nowadays I only play with friends and clanmates and stear clear of these events that feature matchmaking. Which is a shame, cause I enjoyed doing one occasionally.

1 ReplyDidn't see this mentioned, but world bosses. World bosses like the ones in WoW. They are in public places and very hard to take down. Would be pretty sick.

Edited by xL3TH4LxV3NOMx: 10/31/2014 2:33:30 AMThings I'd like to see 1. Trading system between players 2. Larger fire Teams (like 5 or 6 players) for regular missions 3. Similar K/D ratio matchmaking (i personally don't like going 1.0 with the entire enemy team going 5.0 or higher) 4. MAKE THE VAULT BIGGER or get rid of the separation thing. i don't use it to hold guns so those 20 spaces are wasted 5. increased Glimmer, Vanguard Mark, And Crucible Mark Limit (currently 25000 glimmer, 200 VM and 200 CM) 6. a vendor that we can purchase vehicles, emblems, or shaders that were previously purchased or found 7. Some way to sell the things we don't need that can't be dismantled (ships, emblems, shaders, etc) 8. A way to purchase the Spinmetal, Helium Coils, Spirit Blooms, and Relic Iron using Glimmer 9. the ability to have more than 3 characters 10. Raid matchmaking
-

-
There is rumor of a cabal horde mode in one of the DLCs
-

-
One more idea I had while trekking through the Moon looking for helium was that materials such as spinmetal and helium should be rewards for patrol missions as well as faction rep.

Buuuuuump

Bump. Also add more life on the planets. I played everquest for years and when your running through lively zones with different life forms it adds to the experience.

http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/72163204/0/0 Real man's crucible: All the guns are terrible and handed to you, maybe even with choices restricted by map. You don't get to bring in your own stuff.

I would like to suggest: The rest of the story.

1 ReplyEdited by Old_Man_Zan: 10/7/2014 10:14:28 PMI would like to suggest: -choosing levels for patrols (can we patrol with enemies at lv 20+) -place random high-level bosses in "secret" areas of patrol maps (Archon Priest on the moon for example) -Let us patrol in groups of six (call it raid practice) -Add some of the raid mechanics to access some extra hard patrol content (ex: need 3 guardians to open a door to an Archon Priest) -Let any armor we have owned be equipped for viewing while allowing stats to come from currently equipped items
