Destiny could learn from The Division
Having read the insightful threads from respectable members of this community on how The Division is [i]the[/i] Destiny-killer, aswell as witnessing the incredibly popular social-utopia that is the Division forum, I really think Bungie should take a page or two out of Ubisoft's book.
By making a few changes based on winning aspects of The Division, I firmly believe Destiny could once again be a great game.
[b]Change 1: Enemies[/b] - Scrap every enemy and instead create a single race of dregs dressed in an assorted variety of cotton / polyester sweatshirts, scarves and hats. Buff enemy armor by 800%. Name them all Alex.
[b]Change 2: Bosses[/b] - Scrap all boss fight mechanics. Scrap every existing boss in lieu of one of the aforementioned enemies with a higher amount of HP and damage output. Pick a noun at random, set as boss name.
[b]Change 3: PVP[/b] - Scrap the existing PVP completely, and instead allow guardians to kill eachother in a specific area of Patrol mode. Players must complete a Warsat event to keep any collected loot. Have deaths reduce light level.
[b]Change 4: Locations[/b] - Scrap the moon, venus, mars, saturn, and reef. Scrap patrol matchmaking.
[b]Change 5: Endgame[/b] - Scrap all endgame content in lieu of a max light level difficulty for 5 story missions.
[b]Change 6: Mobility[/b] - Scrap sparrows, pikes, heavy pikes and interceptors. Scrap jumping. Scrap crouching. Buff jogging. Add shadestep to every class.
[b]Change 7: Gear[/b] - Hand out legendaries and exotics freely, but with a 99% chance of having a useless roll. [i]Sweet! A Gjallarhorn! ..Aw man, Shank burn..[/i]
[b]Change 8: Other[/b] - Make the game third-person. Nerf strange coin drop rate. Scrap existing supers. Players must queue to interact with vendors.
These suggestions are the result of hours of tireless research.

While I get the nature of the OPs post, there are some really cool things in the Division that would really make Destiny better. 1. Continue to grow the NPC interactions. Not just with the ever loved Cade or creepy Eris, but let's get to some settlements and help people build stuff. The idea of the base of operations that grows with your abilities is really cool in the division, but I think having some perks and bonuses in Destiny as you rebuild the world would be pretty awesome. As you build things, NPCs react to you differently. Like, now the JTF guys I pass by wave at me. That would be cool. 2. In-game Grimoire. Like the "Intel" section of the character screen. The videos and audio files are so freaking cool. It's not like Bungie doesn't have the number of tons of vocal talent. I love reading the grimoire, but I would love to see something more interactive added. 3. Continue to tell the story with the setting. There are some really good parts in Destiny, like the Hive Seeder that crashed into the Jovian Complex, the City in Venus, or the handless skeletons at the door to the archives. Dude, what happened to their hands??? 4. I'd love to be able to craft things, but considering the fairly limited armory for Destiny, it won't be super easy. 5. Cosmetic items please. Man, I was thrilled to get the pom-pom beanie and trendy jeans in the Division. All I need is a histper scarf to be a total douchy sacrifice in the DZ! I'd love to see more of that kind of thing come to Destiny. Like in the concept art. For me, I still love the Destiny game play. Running around and shooting aliens is still super fun! Face punching dudes, sticky grenades, crazy jumps and sweet slides =) The Division is a very different format for a game, but I do think that there are some great ideas to "borrow" for future Destiny content.

I'm wearing a hat. It's grey. Does this make me a boss now? I demand minions.

Got a good laugh out of this. The Division is pretty fun right now. Taking my time playing through. All (possible) collectibles on the south/west side of the dark zone obtained. It will take a few days (playing casually) to finish up the east side of the map. After that, I'll DZ it up. Basically I'll switch to Destiny when this update comes out, and I'll switch back to the Division when another update comes out. Rinse and Repeat. [That is until Gears 4, CD3, and Call of Duty: "Insert a title here" comes out]

34 RepliesConfused whether I should upvote for the accuracy of the title thread, or downvote for the sarcasm that ensues. That's a toughy. Change 2: Destiny suffered from that very issue in Y1 with all the boss fights, especially strikes. Y2 in truth isn't that much better in missons or strikes. And the most puzzle-ly of all the strikes is a pain in the ass because the entire mission is and endless slog, like a Omnigul 2 or something. Change 3: The PVP currently should be scrapped. Hot garbage. Completely lacks balance. And that's before Bungie completely destroyed my ability to have a decent connection (a connection that is open NAT and hasn't changed on any other game being played, btw). Change 4&5: Actually, you inadvertently pointed out that Destiny does need a change. It needs the [i]option[/i] of Raid MatchMaking. The Divsion does have MatchMaking for endgame content and said it will have MM for it's raid equivalent when released. So whatever is in the Division is more out of the endgame content than what I can get from Destiny since Destiny doesn't allow me to group up with people. Change 6: About scrapping sparrows, pikes, heavy pikes and interceptors... They already did that. It's called the Dreadnaught. ;)

The salty tears are real.

11 RepliesThe only thing that I can agree with is the pvp side of The Division is non-existent. Everything else, I'd rather take what The Division offers. The things that really makes me laugh is how you actually consider that patrols are actually good. Patrols are the shittiest attempt of an open world I have ever seen.

I don't think I've ever cried reading a forum post.

I wouldn't mind third person. Always preferred it over fps

2 RepliesI haven't looked at The Divisions forum, does Tom Clancy moderate all the trolls to Reditt where they belong? Cause if so Bungie should hire Tom Clancy to clean this publishers troll population up...like 12 months ago. Thanks for mentioning the forum comparison, I thought I was the only one that understood that player culture is deeply rooted in a games forum.

I switched from destiny to trials to division to destiny. I try my best to like it for the money i spent but... Its horrible

The division is cool. Destiny is cool. Its why your even vocalizing a comparison. For me. The levelling system is killing these games. I dont want to spend 60 hours grinding to endgame content that becomes...... Boring. Aka; Oryx. The division is boringly redundant. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is crisp. The boss fights are......uh...... Garbage. The story is......Non existent. The repetitive grind is. Worse than destiny, but the loot system. Is better. I quit the division.

2 RepliesDestiny is played the -blam!- out, too many flaws for not enough reward. Division is too much fun!
-
i like The Division, but this is true :)

I chuckled out out loud and my wife gave me a despairing look when I read about Gally with shank burn.

Yeah and matchmake into a 4 levels higher mission. Get one shot in a no respawn area and the stare at your copse while the other higher team members put 7000 bullets into the enemies around you and are unable to get the revive. Great!

1 ReplyEdited by ThEReApR: 3/19/2016 3:02:00 PMYou're absolutely right. Why would Destiny do anything The Division does? It's absolutely mind-numbing, like: [b]Matchmaking[/b]: Who wants to group up in-game, for any activity, without having to go on my phone or computer and write a personal ad. [b]Trading[/b]: Nobody likes helping out their friends. I need all 13 of my 280 No Land Beyond's so that I can infuse them in to the 250 purples I get from PvP. [b]Skills and Talents[/b]: Why would I want to build my character around a certain talent or skill? That just takes way too much time and brain power. I want to be locked in to one clearly undefined role with lackluster skills. [b]Gear[/b]: I definitely don't want gear with more than 2 perks/stats. It gets too confusing at that point. I don't want to have the ability to build my character around a perk/stat, that's so boring. [b]Stats[/b]: I want to have ambiguous stats that have no meaning so min/maxing doesn't mean anything. [b]Story[/b]: Absolutely no one wants a meaningful and engaging story that makes sense. I like my stories to make no sense and then have to collect things to have it make [i]some[/i] sense. There are so many more terrible choices The Division made to truly make it the RPG Shooter Destiny is, thank you for opening my eyes.
