This is not mine, I credit this to user YeahItzJay and his forum post on destiny, I just want it on feedback so that Bungie can see the awesomeness for the big pve update this spring
Edit: wow, I didn't expect so much positive feedback! I would like to thank all of you for your non toxic comments. Please remember the actual creator of theses ideas is YeahItzJay and I'm just trying to get them known and read by Bungie
Edit:150 comments! Keep it up, the primary post has 1600+! Let's get this noticed!!!
Edit: 200+!!!

Bump this needs to be acknowledged
-
You, I like the way you think [spoiler]anybody else read moldering as molesting? No? Ok...[/spoiler]
-
Too late
-
I am cautiously optimistic about some of this. I remember watching a prerelease video about TTK where they discussed the "smart loot system" that was supposed to fix the exotic duplicates problem. Instead it was worse. I'm hoping for the best yet I won't be surprised if the results turn out to be not as great as they sound.
-
I want elemental damage to be available in any primary weapon.
-
Bump-Bardment of cosmic proportions approaching. Gravity displacement of epicness will result. Flawless victory
-
-
does this mean that the vex mythoclast will carry over to year two now?
-
This is beyond a hot fix but most of this is definitely a bump
-
I'm not sure you - or the guy who made this, whatever - knows what a hot fix is. A hot fix is a change that can be made when servers are live (hot). These are in no way hot fixes. Seen the same thing multiple times over the past couple months - overhaul patch notes. Nothing special anymore.

Edited by BDress: 3/17/2016 12:59:38 PMOh my gosh. Yes. Please yes. You know it's funny that EVERYONE (still playing) wants at least some, if not most, of these changes. Bungie has failed to realize, failed to communicate, and failed to deliver on what could be an amazing game. Nothing will compare to Y1 Destiny, unless something is done. Unless Bungie decides to not be mediocre and stride it out to the finish. Don't give us a 0.04% damage increase to autos...stop nerfing, bring back EVERYTHING from Y1. It's so, so simple Bungie. Why can't you do at least some of what we want? Please respond to this Bungie. Mega bump. Edit: Oh and yes, fusions deserve AT LEAST being re-looked at (:
-
Bump. Thanks for the breakdown.
-
Please bump !!! Oh please be kind my dear old fiends at Bungie ..
-
-
You should be a Bungie Dev. Bump
-
Hey? Where's the fusion rifle nerf? Lol
-
Casually reading through the thread I slowly realise, hey, wait a minute, this shits amazing and everything we ever wanted.... Gives me a boner.... Has to be fake... Fast scroll to the end.. Yep, too good to be true... *puts lotion away• Bungue doesn't give a shit about what we want. They just nerf or push through emergency patches to stop gamers affecting their bottom line ($) such as the SRL book exploit or updating micro transaction stocks. I'd settle for even a 1/4 of what's there... Sadly I doubt we'll see even that much
-
Bump. Bump buff buff buff
-
Amazing but sadly bungie doesn't care anything about the fans and will continue to make the game how they want of which they have a right too it's just a bummer.
-
Bump. This is what we want
-
This is what bungie should be doing.
-
Considering just a few of those items would be step in the right direction, all of them would an absolute miracle. Let's pray we get blessed.
-
This could really happen and o man would it be fun
-
Dream dream dream dream dreeeam whenever I want you alls I have to do is dream
-
This is like a compilation of perfection. If only bungie would do all this. That would improve the player base massively
-
This would be a good update
