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.

  • Confused 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. ;)
