Bungie, I think I have a suggestion that could really sell this game to more MMO players, and really make your current ones happy. MMO players love and breathe customization. I think that much is clear. I'm not here to critique the character creation, or even the lack of classes to choose from (three isn't terrible). But I do think Destiny needs a lot more variation on their subclasses. If your Hunter, Titan or Warlock had just one more subclass path alongside their already existing ones, that would be amazing amd I'm pretty sure would satisfy the MMO junkies (like myself).
Clarification, I don't mean add another subclass once the character reaches another level. I mean having two branching paths when a character reaches a certain level. So at level 15, the hunter would have a choice between being a blade dancer or some other subclass. And when you choose a particular class, a branch, or tree(more is more imo when it comes to class/subclass choices and customization), of skills and abilities opens up for you that can't get for the other subclass/es. You would then gain experience and points for your character in that subclass as you play in that subclass. You can only be one subclass at a time but you can switch subclasses and gain experience for that other subclass as you play in it. Experience/points for one subclass shouldn't transfer to the other if you decide to switch though.
The subclass should be able to be chosen based on the playing style of the user and each one should have some kind of buff that plays on the strength of that subclass, and a defense against the weakness
of that subclass as well. For example, a player who enjoys short range combat and melter should have a subclass like the blade dancer subclass available to him, and should encourage him to play to short range (not force him, but encourage). However, a long range hunter might have a different subclass that encourages him to play as such. The short range blade dancer subclass may come with two knives that you can use as your secondary weapon which can be upgraded as the player grows in that subclass.
The warlock could possibly have subclass choices between light, dark, and elemental magic types, and the option to use magic as a secondary weapon that, again, can be upgraded as the player grows in this subclass. It could even be used as a triangle where
Light vs Dark = Light stronger
Dark vs Elemental = Dark stronger
Elemental vs Light = Elemental stronger
Finally, once you have a chosen a subclass and level up, instead of having a completely different subclass available (like going from a gunslinger to a blade dancer), you should receive an evolution(or various evolutions) of your subclass. So blade dancer would evolve to swords master or something like that. And gunslinger to something else gun related.
All of the subclasses you can choose from should be available to your guardian from the beginning.
Tell me I am not the only one that needs this.
Please share, up vote, and comment! Destiny has been pretty great with feedback, and this would be a pretty amazing addition.
Bungie, you're doing great with Destiny! Hope you take my feedback into consideration!
