We get it. Everyone likes to wave, point at people, sit down and dance (along with T-bagging and other celebratory performances) but lets take it a step further.
Other than busting a move, the D-pad is pretty darn useless. Sure you can issue military style hand gestures on the sparrow...but no one does this.
Can we come up with a sort of compromise?
Instead of getting rid of the Dance Dance revolution options, how about we Add USEFUL D-pad options to the ghost menu (you know, the thing that lets us go to orbit and leave fire teams and all that jazz).
You've implemented at least two buttons into the ghost menu interface, lets see if you can convince the dev team to create a D-pad option within ghost menu that can allow us to hot key in some battle items (like the countless ether seeds we all have, or the AMMO SYNTHESIZERS). Or we could go a step further and hot slot some weapons there as well.
I am almost 100% certain that you yourself had to switch to a different special, primary, or heavy weapon to better combat the continuously evolving scenario around you in the wild, imagine how easy that could be if you could just open up ghost and tap left on the D-pad real quick to swap out that rocket launcher for an LMG?
Quite simply put, you can utilize the D-pad for Primary weapon swap, Special Weapon Swap, Heavy weapon Swap, and have the last button for an Item (yay countless wax idols!).
Let the dev team know that we're still hoping for these kind of things to be added.

Known issue. Now, we wait. And hope.

A lot of people don't know abiut the gestures on the sparrow, but if you happen to have a tumbler, do use the dpad mid air to do tricks!

HUMP-DE-BUMP!

I obviously agree, here's my post about hot keys. [url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/78607781/0/0/1[/url]

Bump in the night

Bump, because this is an amazing and well-said idea.
-
this is a great idea!! Id love a shortcut key for ammo synthesis or weapon load out X
-
-
I give you my little star and some love.

What about you select 2 primary, 2 special and 2 heavy. And with the d-pad you can change between these two (when you are using primary and use it and change for other primary, special-special and heavy-heavy)?
-
Big bump
-
Remote has touch pad....quick select with touch pad and d pad, like a cursor control, and another issue why hasn't bungie utilised the speaker either. Point bungie helped design the ps4 remotes so they obviously know it's limitations no?
-
They should make it like Lost Planet where you hold start (or back for Destiny since starts a menu) and then press a direction to do an animation. And without pressing start the dpad switches weapons faster than going into a menu.
-
I can't promise anything but something like this is being developed as we speak...
-

-
You need to be DPed first before that ever happens.
-
-
Agreed
-
I would love to have something like hold Dpad down + R2 to synthesize ammo for the currently equipped gun. Using key combos would allow for the current actions that are assigned to the Dpad to be kept.
-
I agree it seems like a waste of the D pad. Maybe make all the current functions hold functions. Like if you hold down then the character will sit but if you just hit down. That's your special weapon.

Genius

I agree a million percent! I liked the point wave and dance but it's dead me I want to switch them commands for something useful for a change!
