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.

You are an idiot plain in simple argument invalidated.

I can't tell if some people in the comments who comment back butthurt get the joke. A lot of the Division's mechanics are exactly what Destiny players said they hate, then go praise the game. Hilarious honestly.

lol there are destiny d!ck riders then there is this post. Christ on a bike. You either play one or the other. Both are different. I play both, I don't compare both. Grow up!!! Simples!!!!!
-
Great post.
-
Made me lol
-
I love Division, and this is still one of he funniest things I've seen all day
-
The real kick in the teeth is, it has been almost 2weeks since release for the division, is this it! where is all the promised dlc and raid style missions. I have hit lvl 16 and I just don't know if it is worth continuing with such a desolate game world. Add to this my inability to play more than 1game for a year.....

Edited by djpuk54: 3/18/2016 7:40:28 PMKudos to the OP, great post. To all the other people who keep posting how superior The Division is to Destiny, please just -blam!- off to the Ubishaft forums and whine. You may be right, (IMHO you're wrong) but It's getting ridiculous now. We get it, you're unhappy with Destiny and are now in love with a new game. Seriously, enough now.

When I read this I laughed uncontrollably. Almost as hard as I laughed when I saw The Division in action for the first time.
-
I don't bump much....... But this is funny. Bump
-
Great post! :)
-
You guys make me grad I bought the division lol gets here Sunday!
-
What the heck? You just want to copy everything from the Division and paste it on Destiny. Why don't you play the Division and get out of here?
-
division is a flop day 2. do not buy ign gave it 2 thumbs down. waste of time

Edited by Fish: 3/18/2016 10:01:26 PMThe Division is good but suffers from some glaring issues. Anyone who has spent any time in the DZ or has tried to build a character with high end gear will know what Im talking about.

Dark zone doesn't have bullshit metas for killing others. In my book, that's already 100% better than crucible
-
destiny is destiny and the division is division let them be

Yayyyy. Let's put 250 plus rounds of an LMG into a dregs face just to take him down!

BUNGIE needs LEARN nothing but HONESTY and how to make a GAME FUN again. DIVISION and DESTINY both suck. m$, act$, all mixing and matching FPS to the point of NAUSIA. BE CREATIVE, copying and recopying and reskinning is 7 years OLD NOW. WHAT A WASTE. World of Tanks probably best 'all around' game now, Rocket League also...
-
Can't tell if this is insulting the division or not

Here are some predictions for everything below this comment: "This post is great" -People who like Destiny (YEAH DESTICLES, OK?) "Division is so much better than Destiny" -People who hate Destiny (New term: Dividiots... I guess, I don't use it) "They're two completely different games" -People who want to stay relatively neutral "Yeah nerf fusion rifles" -THOSE people "Comment section predictions:" -*points at self* THIS GUY "There's this new pizza place in my town, can't wait to try it out" -Offtopic [spoiler]And then the people who are on a side but are still open to discussion instead of barbaric keyboard wars.[/spoiler]

Nice one.

Edited by eteokritas: 3/18/2016 8:54:41 PMOUCH... pretty much spot on. Another beef I have with the game is that for a shared world game, you don't really encounter other players outside the dark zone. It feels lonely. I had watched a review somewhere early on saying how the story of the Division is so much better than Destiny... that is probably the single most disappointing element. If people found Destiny to be bare, then The Division is an utter failure of storytelling. Having said that however, it's still a fun way to kill time waiting for more Destiny.

Shots fired!

Yeah... I learned my lesson with RB6:Siege. I will *NEVER* buy preorders again, or any game without seeing someone else who's played it first. RB6:Siege is crap compared to previous versions. Paid more, got less. As for The Division-- I was smart. Found someone else who got it-- yeah, crap. Nobody wants to fight to earn something and then have a team-mate turn on them-- just so b/s. Glad I didn't waste the money.
