Destiny is an amazing game. I love it to my core and I (and a few confronted others) believe that Destiny can become more than legend.
[b]For starters, this is just a suggestive post, I have no knowledge of things they plan/will implement.[/b]
1) Give me more!
You guys have a flawless base with an amazing engine and control structure. Now, if Destiny didn't have such a bullet spongey play style, there'd be much more interest, much more draw, sooo much more content. I know this is a very common topic of discussion, but I think it definitely needs to be noted. I want more of the Halo style enemies, more specialized enemies, more tactical enemies. I myself have completed the entire storyline of Destiny quite easily. I think it should be more challenging, requiring more inquisition to actually defeat your enemy, rather than just beating the utter shit out of them with a knife and a rocket, or a hail of bullets, or a couple well placed sniper pegs. I want bigger and badder enemies with invincible spots and areas that require a system of attacks to reveal! Now I like Devil Walkers.. They have a system you can use. Now you can theoretically bullet hail it to death (some of this is required), but what I like about them is you can reveal a weak spot and deal massive damage. I also pray to the traveler that we get more races of darkness (no oxymoron intended).
2) I'm an evil child
I don't know if this would be a popular choice, but I wanna play on the bad side. I wanna be a minion of the dark, an unwise choice of my Ghost. I want to be able to play as a Guardian of evil slaying the Light guardians along side my Fallen, Cabal, or Vex buddies. If this were to be implemented, I think we should be a neutral agent of evil, and be allowed to fight for all of the races of darkness, or if it works for the story better, then you could be able to pick which like a subclass, or a class, and have a special ability for each of the races as if they were classes among their own. I just love the idea of Guardian on Guardian killing in a dark vs light situation. A good way to implement this in every day gameplay, is to make the explore mode PvP, or to make it an option like the difficulty drop down to be PvP or PvE, and it should be labeled above the person's name. Sieges should also be implemented, like a linear ish line of bases that can be fortified and taken, and the goal is to capture all bases.
3) Melee
I would love to see customizable melee weapons. The Hunter, for example, could have bigger and prettier knives, or even swords. The Titan could have gloves, power fists etc... The Warlock get like scrolls that alter the blast he executes. I just think this would be an interesting twist to gameplay and possibly multiplayer if damage differences are implemented.
4) Vehicles
We need move vehicles. Maybe not more, but at least more variety like customization for guns, boosters, and paint jobs. They could possibly even function from the sparrow slot, or even better require upgrades to go from non-armed, to lightly armed and lightly armored, to heavily armed and heavily armored. Oh my god I almost exploded when I thought about this... We need ships, like interiors, piloting, planes, bombers, aerial combat, blowing up the Darkness from above! If we could have a ship where you can purchase decorations and devices to place inside like bigger guns for the outside, missile launchers, lighting! Pretty much Halo's forge on space steroids and a balanced complexity limit and physics! (Can you tell this is my favorite idea so far?). Imagine having your own home/armory/hangout/playground. Now on the issue of having it fully custom, I think you should have shells available for purchase from the Shipwright that increase in size make complexity availability (you could use power for an excuse on it). This would allow people to socialize in private and screw around and construct something fun in the main room which could be an open chamber.
5) Multiplayer
I have many ideas for multiplayer, for instance, you can join clans but it's all done on Bungie.net and though it shows up on your profile in the game, there's currently no clan-chat or interactivity in the game to speak of. But just hypothetically, would it be possible for Bungie to make clan-based PvP at some point in the future? Like DestinyGAF players vs. Angry Army players?
That's all folks. I hope you guys like my ideas. If you have additions or modifications feel free to express them as I hope Bungie sees this :)
