A bit of change from topics regarding the recent nerfs. I think it would be neat if they added weather and other nifty effects to each of the planets that not only add some eye candy, but can change up the dynamic of how people must play.
[b]Cosmodrone [/b]
Rain
- Players can slide further when outside in the rain.
Snow
- Vision limited based on how hard it's snowing.
- Snow patches slow down player and enemy movement.
Thunderstorm
- Visual Effect
- Lighting occasionally strikes and can deal damage.
[b]Moon[/b]
Miasma
- Hive experiments cause a strange sickly mist to emanate onto the surface of the moon and in their caverns.
- Slows down shield recovery.
- More hive now wander the surface and fight with the fallen.
- Fallen are no longer hostile to players unless attacked. They also prioritize hive enemies.
Gravity
- Why isn't the gravity lower on the moon? Shouldn't we be able to jump ludicrously high and descend slowly? At least give us a reason.
[b]Venus[/b]
Time Vortex
- Whatever is happening in the Vault of Glass is bleeding over onto the surface of Venus. Time is starting to go awry up here...
- Vex from the past, present, and future appear in more areas.
- Vex attack Fallen areas and entrance to the House of Winter.
- Fallen prioritize Vex over players.
- Certain areas take on monochrome colors and the flow of time is distorted for objects. Ex. Items dropped move at a slower speed.
Winter is Coming
- Snow on Venus? That's odd... no time to worry about that! House of Winter is riled up and on a rampage!
- Snowing like Earth
- House of Winter Fallen are in more areas and trying to overrun Vex and players.
[b]Mars[/b]
Sandstorms
- A vicious storm carrying the red sands of mars throughout the area. Who's that? Is it friend or foe?
- Thick sand storms greatly limit the players vision outside. Snipers are going to be a lot harder to use...
- Enemies have harder time detecting players. Only spot them when close up and easily lose track of them.
- Shotguns might come in handy here...
Vexing Mist
- A strange mist descends onto the land, but scanners show it didn't originate from Mars and its causing interference with our equipment. It seems the Vex having something to do with this... keep your guard up!
- Radar is malfunctioning and jammed. Sporadically detecting things that aren't there and completely unreliable.
- Vex appear in more areas from the mist.
- Killing Vex have a chance to drop a module that temporarily restores the Radar. Vex Majors are guaranteed to drop it.
- Cabal's equipment are also suffering from the mist. Can only detect enemies through sight and sound.
- Cabal appear in greater numbers to stand guard at their bases.
What do you guys think? Have any other additions or suggestions?
EDIT: Added Vexing Mist to Mar's list.
EDIT 2: Added complaint about moons gravity.

Edited by Legend of Jordy: 11/16/2014 10:56:01 PMYou brought this Idea to a whole another level. I really like the idea of the weather effects changing gameplay like rain increasing slide distance. [b][i]A+[/i][/b] ----- Also, the moons Gravity is changed due to the shift of position of the solar system the Traveler created. I think a low gravity effect could be added as a temporary weather effect though. Get ready, it's almost Low Gravity time! :D wewt! ----- I think Next Gen consoles could apply these ideas to Destiny, I'm not sure if Old Gen could handle it.

Allways wanted to see this happen nice job pitching too.
-
This idea is sick, I support it fully. As realistic as this game can be, it lacks a lot. Even GTA V Online has a dynamic weather system.
-
Does anyone else remember when they told us this would be in the game from the get-go? I remember
-
I'd love to see ice patches making Dregs comedically squiddle their legs then fall on their asses.
-
I'm game for weather, can just imagine battling the cabal while navigating a sandstorm. Would be an awesome dynamic to the game
-
Great idea, but if they didn't have the frames to allow for dropship damage I doubt they can do this
-
I don't think time distortion on Venus makes sense. If you read the grimoire cards on the Vault and the stuff inside the vault, it says that the Vex cannot manifest that power outside the vault. So it's safe to say that the power is "contained" and wouldn't leak out.
-
You win, those are really awesome. However, this game already struggles to maintain frame rate and these may kill it altogether.
-
there is rain on venus. thunderstorm on earth sounds awesome.
-
God I wish bungie would implement these awesome ideas!
-
A much needed game mechanic. Hopefully within a year it might possibly be considered
-
This would be so cool. I don't understand why some of these haven't been implemented yet.
-
Great ideas but sadly bungie only fund taco bell commercials -_-"
-
DeeJ: we promise this is coming, just pay 19.99 and the blood of the cryptarch to unlock
-
Bump for one of the best ideas on this forum. Would love to see the snowstorms in Old Russia and the sandstorms of Mars.
-
These would be cool!
-
its something gamers asking for, its bungie, they do not care they made their money all ready.
-
This isn't something that you can just add into a hot fix. Do you know how much lag this would add?
-
I love this idea ^_^
-
Bump x9000
-
Good ideas but lets fix what is broken before implementing new broken things that will need fixing. In all seriousness keep the good long term ideas coming.
-
This needs to be implemented!
-
I would not have my hope's up when Bungie's so busy nerfing things and fixing things that dont need a fix that they dotn even have time to fix the real bugs.. (Will we ever be able to adjust or turn of that Music so we actually could hear echother?) But weather and and more realistic gravity would be nice,...
