How to make Destiny a better game
After taking a break for a couple of months I´m back in Destiny, it´s nice to be back and it doesn´t take long to get familiar with everything. But unfortunately a lot of things that I didn´t like before are still exactly the same, none of the updates have changed that! Which is a shame because with some improvements this could be one of the most fun games out there! So how do you improve destiny?
-1- Customization options.
It´s not a secret that you can customize your character, but when you´re a high level character everyone looks the same, maybe they use a different shader (armor colour) but that´s about it. It would be better if you could upgrade legendary armor you like to the highest quality (without having to buy the armor that allows you to reach higher levels), for example you can upgrade exotic armor and also weapons so why not give this option to your legendary armor you already have and like? I´m certain Bungie can find some way with crafting to make this possible, that gives you more diversity and allows you to wear what you like and not what you have to wear to level up!
-2- Give rewards for reaching high levels.
Not everyone likes to grind their character to reach the highest level and for others it´s close to impossible if they can´t play the raid or don´t have the dlc (the dark below). So instead of just putting levels and raids for higher levels in the game it would also be nice if you got a reward for reaching a higher level. For example more inventory slots in your vault, rare emblems or shaders and for level 30 players it would be nice if you could wear two exotic armor pieces instead of one. These are just ideas, but I bet that this would already motivate people to level up even when they can´t play the raid and don´t have the dlc. Maybe not everyone will reach the highest level but at least they´re motivated to try and have some good reasons to grind.
-3- Better matchmaking.
It sucks when matchmaking isn´t good, for example constantly being in the team with people that are afk or people that don´t want to communicate. When you play PvP or a strike that doesn´t have to be an issue, but in a raid this is almost a guarantee to fail. So it´s nice that people that are afk get kicked and that you get another player in return. Talking about the raid, it would also be nice if there would be a matchmaking system for the raid so you could actually play it and not almost beg in a forum for other people to help you out. Because it´s rough when you don´t know other people that play Destiny! Sure you can talk in the tower with other people to team up but some people just want to go, like with a strike and not wait to finally get enough people to start the raid.
-4- More missions, more story!
I think a lot of players miss this in Destiny, the lack of story and the lack of missions. Sure you can play the same shit over and over again but you get tired of that sooner or later (probably sooner). What´s going on in the reef? What happened to the Vex? Will you ever meet the emperor of the Cabal? Who was that creature the hive were talking to in the shrine of Oryx? Is the stranger a part of the traveller? So much is vague in this game, it´s almost as if most effort was put on the gameplay and not the story. The same counts for all the grimoire cards you collect in the game, I don´t want to look that up online but check that in the game so I actually know what´s going on. It seems so stupid to step away from my console to check on my computer what I just unlocked and what´s going on. You should be able to see this in the game!
-5- Skip cutscenes.
When you have to play the same missions several times then it´s nice that you´re able to skip that, because you don´t want to hear the same shit ten or twenty times! Unfortunately you can´t skip cutscenes which means you´re forced to endure this shit every time. This gets old really fast! Because of this reason I often try to complete bounties outside missions (in patrol) instead of playing a mission just because I´m sick and tired of the cutscenes I can´t skip, unfortunately for some bounties you have to play a mission. It seems silly that this isn´t possible, I mean most games allow you to do this so I´m really surprised that Bungie left this option out.
I´m not saying that Destiny will be the greatest game ever with these issues fixed or certain things added to the game, but it will most likely improve the game and make it more fun to play. It also makes things a bit faster and more interesting to play, which might attract players from the first hour to return to the game or attract new players to the game. So it´s probably a good idea to improve Destiny, for as far that´s possible of course.
