Day 1 player here giving my opinion on some changes which will have a positive effect on gamer experience. PVP - Iam not great at PVP but I can hold my own. The clear issue here is matchmaking. I rarely play trials anymore because Iam simply not good enough and so I avoid it like the curse but the truth isn't Iam horrible but matchmaking always puts me up against players who are elite and credit to them for putting in the hours to get there. You seem to keep blaming weapon balancing for PVP issues but it really isn't. Your punishing skilled players for mastering tactics by nerfing there load out. Perfect example - I used to play trials every week in year 1 using my thorn load out, I would still get wrecked by snipers or scout rifles in mid to long range but wishing close range I was dominant unless I ran in to a shotgun but it was competitive right through. There was always a counter to every weapon or tactic. The only issue was people getting wrecked by certain guns like thorn but why punish the player for mastering such gun which might I add they worked their ass of to earn. The appropriate action would have been to have better match making based on K/D ratio so similar skilled players were matched up but instead you nerfed the thorn back then and after that you didn't even allow it in year 2 so my hopes of success in trials went out of the window as I couldn't compete with elite players I was being matched up with. You've now nerfed the last word, personally I've been totally wrecked by it millions of times but I don't think it's over powered, I just appreciate the skill those players have put in to master it and I can't help but think if I had my old thorn back maybe I'd stand a chance. Moral of the story - Stop nerfing the most used guns because that's not the solution, your damaging The game and the players experience which leads me on to the gjallahorn, which ok I get it was a decent advantage in game but don't you understand that was the beauty of it? I loved using this rocket launcher to dominate in bad situations and if you wanted to nerf it I understand but at least let us have it as year 2 weapon? Easily the best weapon I've ever used in any game ever but you guys sent it to the grave yard. Finally on PVP. Why don't you guys sort out the revive animation? Top PVP games wouldn't dare put you in a position of involuntary vulnerability. Being revived has like a 1 second animation to spawn where the player has zero control but can be one shot killed. Sort it. Armour/Weapons/Equipment Being a day 1 player I really miss the old armours from Vault and Crota including lots of the older weapons like Word or Mythlocast. Are you not tired of seeing all guardians looking the exact same? You used to have an etheric light scheme which you abandoned within 6 months but I think you should bring it back for everything. Give people a reason to play the old raids again, and for cosmetic purposes, please allow us to mix and match without dropping level. This is the only way you can truly create customisation for your guardians. It's really annoying when you see another gaurdian who looks identical to you because only certain armour lets you get to where you need to be on light level. Let's understand that a level for a player is to judge how far they have come and not what they look like so please let me have more gear to choose from. Iam saying the same thing for the guns aswell, and I get it you guys want us to us the latest stuff but rather than sending older weapons to the grave, just make your newer weapons better so that people want to use them. It's as if you guys thought process was "Well shit we can't top the old guns so let's destroy them and give them new weapons so they have no choice" The truth is your year 1 weapons rocked, but your year 2 weapons seriously suck. The only year 2 weapons I truly enjoy are the exotic swords because it's something new and fun to use. Iam not trying to bad mouth you guys but just trying to bring attention to serious issues why players have left and why I once left. When you have a problem the thought of "Ok let's nerf this then" is annoying. What you should be thinking is "Ok let's make this better to counter act this problem" in theory rather then finding solutions your creating more problems and taking the fun out of the game which leads me on to currency. For the love of god can you just stick to 1 system? I heavily invested in radiant/accendant materials and etheric light. With every dlc update your constantly moving the goal posts so players who should be rewarded for grafting all the hours are left with worthless materials and for god sake, why is there a glimmer or marks cap? I mean seriously I have to lose out on so much because of this cap. Speaking on equipment/materials I just have a final peace to the puzzle. Allow synth micro-transactions, like 1000 synths for a £1 $1 so people don't have to spend hours farming strange coins to buy from XUR. People want to play games, not farm, it's boring. Extras The tower needs renovations, it's far to small and doesn't hold enough guardians. You want us to be more social with each other? Create some mini games like chess/bowling/betting/target practice? Stuff we guardians can do together and get to know each other whilst we are doing it. Weather changes would be nice and finally let us kit up our ships from the ship yard? Like pimp my ride... Well not quite that far but you know what I mean. Stop making quests that promote wasting time, I mean seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to waste hours farming for materials which drop super slow and randomly to achieve the exotic sword? Whoever thought of that I mean seriously dude, what were you smoking? Flying ships anyone? On loading screens, when we're flying to a destination, why can't we control our ships? Nudge each other and just clown around whilst we wait? I know it's not a vital change but Iam sure people would love to just do something whilst they wait like 20/30 seconds for their ships to land. I know you guys probably won't read this and I will likely go unheard in the community but I just want you guys to know Iam a fan of games, and I only want what's best for Destiny which brings out the guardians in all of us. If you hear me, please know the community appreciates you and wants you to keep up the great work, keep listening to us, keep innovating and maybe we can help bring back fallen guardians who once left. Thanks! - Raz 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
