Things we want to see in the next Destiny

Solonoid · October 27, 2016, 10:21:17 PM

So Destiny tanked fucking hard, assuming the next title is salvageable at all, what things do we wanna see?

My Wishlist
•Dialogue with NPCs
•Player Homes
•Explore the City and other human settlements on every planet
•Better story that results in things actually changing
•Forge
•More explorable areas with more detail
•Bigger focus on factions, and their political intentions
•More factions
•Build you own gun
--I feel like this one needs fleshing out
--We've been introduced to weapon cores through a few quests already, so you start with that as a base,
--and it determines the type of gun you're building, and it's rarity.
--Then you add parts, which vary in effect: stock, scope, clip, barrel, and if it's exotic, an exotic perk core.
•Space combat
•Faction wars: massive multiplayer games where your faction determines what team you're on (64 player)
--Match never actually ends, it works a lot like patrol.
•In addition, FFA PvP in patrol
•If you're staying on planet, go to other areas on the same planet by vehicle or on foot.
•Patrol the Reef and go from asteroid to asteroid, with gravity toward the center of each allowing
••you to go around every side

I hope I can get some legit suggestions

A story that isn't told through fucking grimoire cards.

A real beta with feedback and tweaks instead of 25% of the finished game.

True Turquoise · October 28, 2016, 12:54:53 AM

Nathan Fillion as the main character.

I generally would like them to do it right this time around, I guess my biggest 'wish' would be a balanced pvp

gats · October 28, 2016, 04:40:03 AM

Make the combat more interesting, I don't really enjoy how you can progress through the campaign by just aimlessly pulling the trigger. I thought bosses scaled with how many people are taking part in a mission, it was really unsatisfying to beat bosses in like 5 minutes

FatherlyNick - fuck putin · October 28, 2016, 05:13:14 AM

Not locking the forums to only those who wasted money on their shitty Destiny 2 game. But too late for that.
Fuck you sell-outgie.

The problem with the Beta is that Bungie got near universal praise from the Playstation fanbase for kissing their ass so fucking hard. They all had no intention of giving actual feedback because they got to play the game early, and Bungie was willing to ignore people from the Xbox player base who are watching the videos or playing it with a friend because they wanted to give MS the middle finger.

Anyways, I don't know why you still have hopes for Bungie. They're legitimate sellouts and killed their own community for literally no reason. They've changed, even if Destiny 2 is the second coming of Christ for video games, would you really shell out any money to them for what they've done or have become?

Tyger · October 28, 2016, 10:52:30 AM

Destiny has 2 major flaws that I want addressed

1) there are only ever a few real activities you can do to get top level gear, the current raid, trials of Osiris, and iron banner. It's also possible to get there just by decrypting exotic engrams but that's not totally viable. Destinys DLC system is "out with the old in with the new" and while this works for games with massive expansions like WoW it doesn't work for a game like destiny. They need to give players incentive to play ALL activities in the game and not make great parts like the Vault of Glass completely worthless.

2) None of the lore means jack shit or is even in the game. The story is bullshit, characters besides Cayde and Eris are literally just vending machines.

Aether · October 28, 2016, 01:24:42 PM

I have no hopes for the game. It's clear what Activision has done to Bungie and I've lost all faith in the company.

Moved on to other games.

For real we gave them valuable feedback for a number of betas, you figure they would listen to the people who actually had some experience testing their games.

I definitely wanna go into the field with him and watch him show off some unholy power that gives the name 'Vanguard' some substance.

Oh yeah, they made shitloads of money and people play it all the time.

But literally everybody says it's shit, and then they go on playing it.

A story that isn't told through fucking grimoire cards.

What was the story for Destiny? Every mission we were doing in that game was some random ass thing. What really doesn't help is that bull shit with the "I could tell you" scene. To me a huge amount of the story and background was made up in the things he was bringing up.

Zonda · October 29, 2016, 06:15:18 AM

An early contract breach

If they had put splitscreen I'd have even bothered to try the first game.

Uh, yeah.

Brand loyalty is kinda pointless. If that single product you're buying from that company is good, great. If the previous iterations or general history of the company is shite, fine, tread carefully, don't buy the shit bits and stick to the good stuff they sell.

But anyway, the lore/story stuff needs to be kinda in the game. I can give a pass to "we don't know about x 'cos records were destroyed" occasionally, but for the fleshed out bits, don't have it online on some card-version of a game Wikipedia. Ghost recordings, tapes, or torn shreds of papers/documents will do fine like it has for many other games (Fallout, Last of Us, even fucking Borderlands).

vanilla destinys story is pretty much as nonsensical as it seemed. The taken king and rise of iron had super interesting story and lore but it was all in grimoire cards.

Like for example in the taken king you kill Oryx twice. There's literally 0 explanation for why there's 2 of him. Until you read the lore and find out he's an inter demensional being who has a special throne world and only killing him there kills him for good. him and his siblings and kids killed each other all the time because of sword logic, which makes you stronger upon each kill of an enemy who's stronger than you. But it wasn't in the throne world so they never really died.

It's much much more complex and makes for a cool story but basically none of its actually in the game

Turkey · October 30, 2016, 10:56:27 AM

I'd sure like to see some actual fucking content instead of six relatively boring areas running missions that are never more than running through areas killing mobs and holding X at the end. Areas need more interconnectivity. Ships as loading screens need to be eliminated. Make transitions a minigame of flying your ship to a new location, or use some sort of teleporter or something, but no more of this garbage 'planet -> map -> loading screen -> planet' system.

Also, raids need a more casual option. It's insane that you can't even consider finishing a raid until you've run it multiple times to farm gear, or else be carried by a generous team. Stories should transition into a raid, not just having the campaign plot end and then weirdly have a raid exist to continue the story, but recognized by nobody. i.e., TTK you kill Oryx but he's still alive and you accomplished nothing, but there's no urgency to continue. Rise of Iron, you stop Siva, but apparently you don't, but no biggie, just do it whenever.

I still think Destiny was a fantastic game.

You just needed a good group of friends to play with. 1000+ hours, no regrets

Gatortag · October 31, 2016, 01:36:51 PM

It's definitely improved. D2 should be much better. There's no excuse. They have the feedback. They have nearly 800 employees, PLUS High Moon Studios, and they've been working on it since the original came out, if not before.

Every game offers a fantastic experience when you have a good group of friends.

No game should need to rely on that to be enjoyable though.

I mean I spent maybe 300 of those hours solo and still enjoyed it
