Okay guys and gals, here's another one for you. I see a lot of complaining about material farming taking too much time, and a lot of suggestions for a wave defence mode. Let's put them both together:
A new mission on each planet where a fireteam of up to 6 guardians assault an enemy material stash facility. This would likely be against Cabal on Mars and Fallen elsewhere. It would play out as a regular mission until inside the facility. Once inside, our ghost starts transferring materials to our ships (or wherever it is he stores them).
This is when the fun begins, wave upon wave of increasingly difficult enemies come rushing in to stop us stealing their precious materials. There'd be a mini-boss (or a big boss, depending on the size of the facility) every 10th wave and the longer we survive, the more materials we get. The nightfall modifier would be active throughout, with additional modifiers being added after every boss wave.
Now for the amount of materials awarded, say the highest wave is 50. You start off getting 1 per wave. Upon completion of a boss wave, it adds 1 awarded per wave. So wave 1-10 gives you 10, 11-20 another 20, 21-30 another 30, and so on. This would mean upon completing wave 50 you'd have earned 150 of the material. (Just an example.)
This would likely be a weekly event. Each planet could be available once a week or they could be on a weekly rotation. There could also be a chest with ammo synth/ship schematics/rare engrams and a chance at legendary engrams or exotics upon completion of each boss wave.
That's all the thought I've put into it so far. Feel free to post thoughts/suggestions below, and don't forget to like and bump if you like it!
-
Farming isn't suppose to be fast and easy this isn't call of duty.
-
This sounds amusing. I like more weekly based things instead of daily. With some insightful tweaking, this could be great.
-
Any otherway of ranking all my weapons would be most welcome . We need this fast
-
I definitely like the wave survival mode for sure, and it makes sense to have increasingly better reward gains, but I think it shouldn't be restricted to just planetary resources. Maybe the bosses drop something like a "lucky/special chest" would, perhaps better depending on the difficulty. So that much more resources, blues and ammo packs, maybe ship schematics or legendaries, etc.
-
Doesnt about every story mission have a wave defense system. I got so tired of the "darkness zones" and tge insert ghost and defense that came with them.

Bungeh plez add
-
Destiny is not going to add free content like this. I wish they would. But those greedy sob's wont Maybe destiny 2's dlc for 35$ and you might get it then
-
-
-
Yes and have it available once a week like nightfall
-
Horde mode? Yeah. Nightfall? Hm. MORE MODS? Eh... how about a horde mode, with nightfall AS a mod at the last point, kinda like Reach's firefight?
-
So basically Horde? I'm down, just put a limit on how many times you can do it per week and how much materials you get per run.
-
clinic study found that running around in a farming circle is bad for your brain and can cause dizziness :) solution = material farming horde mode extraordinaire. 10/10 bungie plez add
-
So basically Horde mode from gears of war with materials awarded. Let's do it!!
-
I like this. We need more ideas like this. Someone below said maybe not just materials, but other loot as well. Maybe it could include a nice chest if you make it to certain waves where you have a chance at other kinds of random items. I like that you mentioned the ship too. I would love to be able to eventually explore the inside of my ship and have access to my vault. Just for starters though I really want to see more than that from the ship too.
-
I do not mind farming but if you are wanting something like this it should be a once or twice event a week max
-
Great idea even though I'm quitting destiny after the DLC releases.
-
Really, really good idea, *fingers crossed *

Edited by wearemany: 11/25/2014 8:49:49 PMIf you want to play wave defence, just play any of the story missions, strikes, or the raid. But there should be a less tedious way to get materials.
-
-
I WANT THIS NOW!!!! I SAID NOW!!!
-
This is an amazing idea.
-
Yes please
-
Haha I was thinking all day yesterday there should be a Mission/Raid/Strike/Event where the reward was a massive stockpile of materials
-
Nice idea, but the waves wouldn't be fun, seeing as every mission, every strike, and even the raid are all wave based
-
..that's [b]Warframe[/b] ripoff "idea" ..Destiny does desperately need some new game mods! but material farming is easy to "fix" trough Chests loot. instead 1 or 2 they could give us 3 or 5 collectible/consumable materials. only if they want?.
