Token System.Prison of Elders had the best system for end game rewards, using a token system. I am also a big supporter of it coming from World of Warcraft. If not a token system then almost a shard system. Have all of the weapons, and armor available from day one, say a normal raid helmet is worth 15 shards. On a full normal clear you could receive 15-30 shards. You are guaranteed a piece of gear, or if you are lucky two.
Two tiers, normal and heroic.
Weapons should be outdated.it happens in every single MMO or RPG, when new content hits, old weapons are invalidated. This is nothing new, and the grind honestly isn't close to as bad as other video games. The game becomes stale, very stale if you allow old OP weapons to stay in the game.
Kinetic Legendary Primaries.Wonderful move, it adds a bigger variety of viable weapons. Exotics can and should have an element associated with them because well, they are exotics.
Integrated Lore.This game has wonderful writing and the way they went about displaying it through Grimoire was an absolute moron move. At the very least use a Skyrim system to show Grimoire during your flight into a planet, or have an archive on the "tower" to read it at your own pace.
Weapon Balancing.Bungie sucks at it, plain and simple. There needs to be a special stat or weapon category for PVP that they can tune appropriately, leaving PvE alone. Not just because of player vs player, but their nerfs generally don't make sense. They want to see a variety of weapons being used but when they nerf one archetype into the ground another one gets exclusive use and the system continues.
"Previous" gen needs to go.
I don't even believe PS3 & Xbox 360 should have been included in this version of Destiny. Ram and power of the console specifically hindered aspects of the current game. The next iteration of Destiny has to be for the current generation of console(s) only.
Stop cutting up "playlists." and make them worthwhileExcluding old pvp maps, old strikes from Nightfalls, others strikes and pvp modes is retarded although I see it as commonplace in other MMO/ RPGs. Once they removed the XP buff and 500 faction experience from Nightfalls I have done one in a few months, there's no point to them anymore.
RNG is fine, it's how Diablo, World of Warcraft, Path of Exile all of them are. That's the name of the game. Matchmaking for the highest end activities should never be a thing, I wouldn't be opposed to normal raids having a matchmaking system or at least in game LFG.
