Thoughts to make D2 enjoyable again and get players playing the game again. (Remove the reasons why they left and add benefits to get them back and add new players) 1. Give us a reason to play ‘all’ destinations (public events, dungeons, lost sectors, bounties in patrols, whatever even just running around and killing stuff) - make everything worth while even if it is just +1 drops and a chance for something better. 2. Make ‘all’ content, vendor rank-up’s, exotic drops all be +1 or greater. All players to play everything in the game vs. a restrictive window of portal activists. 3. Respect players time and loyalty to the game. Example mistakes, - removing legendary shards (the original Destiny currency) - instead give loyal players something special to get with them, maybe even an unlock for an T-shirt - instead they where just thrown away. Could have been something great. - Throwing all of the time spent leveling items in the trash with the reset to 10 and then being told to spend 1000 hours to be able to use anything. The dev time spent on unstable cores of the leveling BS only to learn the same lesson over again and screw over players is such a waste! Every thing across vaults and characters should be immediately upgrade to 300 or the current players light if greater to make peace for being so disrespectful of players time. Upgrade models was by far the best of option ever created. Even today 99% of the stuff we own is unusable because of the level and we still need be very selective with upgrades because of the total mess. 4. Remove or double timers for all activities. Nobody wants to always sweat and rush every activity or get nothing. Timers are a BS mechanic and right now error on the side on 100% completions to let players get rewarded for their time and effort. We have all been screwed over enough by screw the player at the end mechanics or time. Let us “play the content” and enjoy vs. just running through it as fast as possible. Enough already ! We also get error coded out rewards which is irritating! 5. increase ammo economy by like 4x, we have weapons and can’t use them half the time. It is just painful and it again just depletes the enjoyment of the game when you are picking away at something with a primary for 5 minutes because it was harder and you don’t have ammo. The time runs out, revives are removed, fail the activity / get nothing and everyone gets pissed, says f this game it is a waste of time and promptly force quits it. And STOP with the Overloads going back to full health the time in less time it takes to reload. This kind of BS need to be removed from the game - makes people hate it. 6. Being back all strikes that have ever existed in the game and double down making more as fast as possible ! This is the lifeblood of Destiny and they all should be doable by most all players at the highest level without giving a body organ and loosing sanity to do it. Or soon you will have the 10 people that think that are amazing running 1 ultimate every month to confirm their greatness. 7. Let us be powerful after leveling up and crush activities. This was the goal of leveling up and being able to actually have fun playing the game with friends. If everything is always the same difficulty then why bother leveling or even playing if the fun and fun with friends / helping friends is gone. 8. Use the portal as only a guide/navigation/exploration aid for daily/weekly activities or bonus things. Not the only access point for everything. - Enable All underlying activities and let the player play everything they want and have it be relevant for leveling or just playing. Portal not required. - Bring back all campaign stories and enable replay for rewards. Use the great content vs. throwing it in the trash. I would imagine that many players have never played most of it and longer term players would play it again for rewards. - I would easily take the D1 style planet / mission select view vs. a tiled grid no location context or meaning.
