[b]UPDATE: Now that the game has been [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---12012014/en/News/News?aid=12433]updated[/url], a lot of these ideas may need to be reworked.[/b]
After playing Destiny for a while, I've realized this game lacks some pretty basic features. Some of these problems aren't as bad as the others, but I'm suggesting them to improve Destiny overall. I'm trying to make this list a culmination of everybody's ideas to improve the game. [b]Please share your thoughts[/b] on these suggestions and tell me what should be added to/removed from it.
Edit: I've highlighted changes in [b]bold[/b].
- [b]Ability to edit polls (there's a blatant typo at the top).[/b]
- [b]Continued work on connection stability (many players are still experiencing connection issues).[/b]
- Ability to see a map of whatever planet you're on.
- Ability to split stacks of items in the inventory.
- Shaders/Emblems/Class Armors/Cosmetics should be accessible account-wide and not take up inventory space.
(Instead of counting as items, they should be considered unlockables that are managed separately.)
- [b]Ability to reforge legendary weapons (raid weapons not included).[/b]
- Ability to pay to customize character appearance.
(Race/gender/hair/etc.)
- Weapon inventory should be out of a total 27, not out of 9 for each slot.
(There are four types of primary weapons, three types of special weapons, and two types of heavy weapons. You'll probably end up carrying more primaries than heavies.)
- A button to automatically dismantle green items upon pickup.
- Ability to pay to increase your vault storage space.
- Exotic primaries should have elemental damage.
(Exotic primaries can be outclassed by raid primaries.)
- Removal of all currency caps.
(Glimmer can already be stored in Axiomatic Beads, House Banners, Network Keys, and Silken Codex.)
- Ability to skip cutscenes.
- Ability to vote on maps for the crucible.
- [b]Ability to see what map you're traveling to for crucible.
(For people who are joining in the middle of a session. Makes it easy to know what weapons to switch to.)[/b]
- [b]Ability to do custom/private matches in crucible (without gaining any rewards).[/b]
- Ability to speak to other players in the tower.
- Ability to speak to nearby players whilst on any planet.
- Numerical statistics to understand what +2 agility means and the difference between low rate of fire and high rate of fire.
(Most websites already provide this.)
- [b]Optional[/b] matchmaking for Nightfall, VoG, weeklies.
(Dailies not included because they can be done solo.)
- [b]If they choose to not allow matchmaking for VoG, then they should create an in-game group finder system.[/b]
- [b]Removal of the various bugs that plague VoG (i.e. broken teleporters, minotaurs regaining health).[/b]
In addition, I have some more [b]radical ideas[/b] that could help improve the game overall.
- Ability to equip multiple exotic weapons OR buff current exotics.
(My reasoning behind this is that many of my exotic weapons barely compare to my legendaries. As far as I can tell, the exotics are designed to be good at one thing and not much else. To my knowledge, the only weapons that are more OP than current legendaries are Ice Breaker, Suros, Gjallarhorn and Mythoclast. Even Bungie has said, "Exotic Weapons are designed to look, feel and sound overpowered, but to not actually break the game." Basically, Bungie doesn't want them to outclass legendaries. If that's what they want, then they shouldn't try to balance them with legendaries in mind and make them a little OP, thus making the decision to use a particular exotic more rewarding.)
- Ability to equip multiple exotic armors.
(Who's going to use [url=http://destinydb.com/items/921478195-radiant-dance-machines#1.MmBS02h8]this[/url] over [url=http://destinydb.com/items/499191787-lucky-raspberry#1.McarM2E8]this[/url]?)
- [b]OR ability to earn extra exotic slots by completing hard raids.[/b]
- Dismantling green items gives one upgrade material.
- Dismantling blue items gives two upgrade materials.
(Materials received should be from the planet you acquired the item on.)
- OR white engrams should still drop for level 20+ but instead give one upgrade material for whatever planet you're on.
- Ability to purchase ascendant energy with weapon parts. (Cryptarch)
- Ability to purchase ascendant shards with armor parts. (Cryptarch)
- Ability to buy strange coins with glimmer. (Xur)
- Ability to buy motes with glimmer. (Xur)
- Decoding an engram of any quality has a chance to result in a higher tier engram.
- [b]Ridable dinosaurs (because who wouldn't like that?).[/b]
That's all I can think of so far. Please suggest anything that should be added to/removed from the list.
-
For a starter let's say that top 2 to 3 player in crucible are suppose to get ingrams just like tiger strike. And for those annoying pricks who enter the strikes and sit bak nd do nothing, should be kicked out of the strike
-
Don't think they will ever change the exotic count sorry to say
-
Instead of being able to only equip one exotic weapon and one exotic armor, it should be you can equip 2 exotics total, so you can run 2 exotic weapons or 2 exotic armor pieces.
-
Trading of some sort. I think best idea so far has been between your core fire team. Meaning players you have played over 80 hrs with or 10 completed raids...something I have 5 of what the core team i always play with need. So i want to trade them for what i need. Just dont make it where you can shop the forums or simply join a clan..no way

-
I'd like more space in the vault especially since new weapons and armor are being added.
-
I think you inventory should save to your system so we don't have to wait 15 minutes for it load
-
Edited by iamswyp: 11/30/2014 9:14:43 AMi think u should just have one exotic for gun and armor so that u have to choose one u like.
-
Add rideable dinosaurs to the list.
-
[quote]Removal of various bugs that plague VoG[/quote] But what will I do for a living?
-
An in-game text chat? (That broadcasts over the whole server, example: Need 5 for VOG normal...... 28 Hunter for VOG normal)
-
Sell it and play dragon age?
-
Know which map you are going to play in the crucible before you get there so we can change weapons if we need to.
-
Edited by SunshineAndRainbows: 11/29/2014 6:01:42 AMWhat if after every time you beat the raid on hard, you are able to equip another piece of exotic armour?
-
The matchmaking is optional right?
-
How about fix the glitches in the raid
-
Private matches
-
Reforging weapons, not only in IB.
-
For me, loot trading would solve most of my problems with this game
-
Most of these changes I agree with, some I don't.

I absolutely disagree on match making for Vault of Glass No -blam!-ing way!!! There is no -blam!-ing way I am gonna play with some random Mexican who gonnaag around in VoG and probably lag out from the game or lag is with them.... So I absolutely DISAGREE ON MATCH MAKING FOR THE WEEKLYS, VoG The ONLY thing this game needs is a new Character Slot, have 4 characters OR a bigger Vault to store weapons.... That is about all that is needed for this game
-
Also, shaders shouldn't be level restricted. Like really. It's JUST colors.
-
My top priorities: 1) Fix connectivity issues. This should be the top of all fix lists. I don't experience a lot of it, but I hear too much about it. 2) Fix Vault glitches. The crown jewel of the game should be a top priority as well. 3) Open up the maps. Giving me super hero jump skills, but limiting me to the first floor of abandoned skyscrapers on Mars? It's a crime. Open the "middle" of the Moon so it's one giant map. Do the same with Russia, except for Sepik's lair. Let me climb Martian skyscrapers. I don't spend as much time on Venus, so I can't speak to that one as well.
