So full transparancy i dont have experiance in game dev, at least not enough to be 100% confedent on how this might work or how hard it would be but heres my ideas full force. also some of these may be a bit conroershal but are ultimately about breathing some life back into legendarys and exotics being something specal. First of all the totorial will need major updates and acually being fixed to be informative without a veteran guiding you but thats a common complaint but revelvent for what im about to pull up. Weapons (Severely outdated ones): Make severely outdated weapons into grays, green's and blues to make the higher rarity weapons feel like their better mabye cap their teirs until you reach legendary's then its free range Some weapons may need to remain legendarys but the oudated perks may provide some interesting build combos as well also bringign back weapons with uneak effects like serraf weapons as a weapon origin/set trait where you can use a warmind build again would be cool to have as new legendary and further spice up the veriety SUBCLASS & CLASS LEVEL: Introduce a subclass leveling tree that in combination to your aspects will drastically alter how the super and abiltys work and provide bonus stats as milestones in XP it will be like D1 node system but instead of just unlocking 1 at a time you unlock 3 of them at a time until you reach level 50 where you get a new node batch every 10 levels and a stat bonus every 5 levels or some minor buff to a keyword and these levels will also be tied to a overall caritor level wich will encurage experementing with verity and mastery of your class and after you max it out can be a permanent display of how dedicated you are to a class and also a *polite* bragging right for new lights and Explorers to acheve wile also adding new or old abilitys like enhanceing chain lightning making void bomb into a shotgun of seekers get creative with it! Unvault Vanilla campain, curse of osiris, warmind, and all past seasons/episodes and turn them into one long campaign: basicly lean into the MMO aspect of the game have the story playable from start to finish so you arnt missing anything inportant in the story wile also being able to earn those seasonal rewards and cosmetics through higher difficulty runs WRATH OF THE MACHENE: you already know why im asking bring it back plz & thank you :3 MAKE EXOTICS EXOTIC AGAIN: make them rare! make them exiting to get again. i cant remember how exited i got when i got my first exotic from D1 and now i only get it from raids and dungeons at a ridiculously low drop rate of 1% so at least try to find the sweet spot between hard to get but also let the player get them through an exotic keosk if they have bad luck so that at the very least they can focus a spesific exotic they need though at a expensive investment to unlock as bad luck prevention so at least players CAN get the non raid/doungon exotics to let them build craft to a wild degree RESPECT TIME: The grind should be rewarding espechally equipment worth inspecting Tie weapons and armor to ceran strikes, sprinkle some secrets that unlock a ghost shell or a new ship Make it so you can play as you wish but not be forced into a certan playstyle to have your time respected espcehally one you dont like. *glares at solo ops* and finally: MAKE THE COMMUNITY A COMMUNITY: Clan bases in the old tower as part of a reconstruction effort Big secrets and scavanger hunts for secrets lore weapons armor anything shiny and cool to have make it so comidatons give rewards hell even 5$ worth of silver every week would be great to encurage some pepole to spend a bit wile those who cant can still get cool and new things or even unlock doungons and Expantions just from saving up silver by playing the game Make events that bring pepole together around a common goal rebuilding the city expanding outwards sector by sector take part in 12 man reclaim efforts across earth to uncover the forgotten world of the golden age or even dare to cross into the unknown outside of sol after the 9's shanagens are over with and see places only dreamed of. Give us a home in the city to call our own and rest with our fireteam after a long night of raiding and slapping crota cross contry because it was funny to do so. have time to explain why didint have time to explain
