Update 5 (What is, and isn't, completely patchable):

What features/fixes should Bungie bring to Destiny before the first expansion?

What Can Be Patched In (hopefully)
- Improved encounter design
- Custom games
- Improved enemy AI (debatable; might be axed from the list)
- Improved variety of Patrol missions (possibly more context, too)
- Ability to skip cutscenes
- More loot drops for earlier levels
- Decreased loading times
- Public (proximity) voice chat
- Remove Orbs of Light from PVP
- PVP Mode with supers disabled
- Roaming enemies
- More randomized enemy spawns, both static and roaming
- Ability to turn on flash light
- Change Strike boss encounter design (more challenging, less bullet sponge)
- Change PVP reward drop randomization (possibly axe random entirely)
- Increase frequency of public events
- Sparrow races
- Option to go straight to starmap instead of orbital layer
- Penalty for leaving the instance (PvE & PvP), possibly reloading health and respawning enemies

What Should Arrive With Expansion Pack 1 (hopefully)
- In-game Clan Management
- Guild Halls
- Fileshare

Spoiler

- Better story design/flow

- Clan-specific awards
- Clan challenges
- Clan + Friends settings
- Possibility of 4-man fireteams (?)
- Swappable loadouts
- Join Public Missions matchmaking
- Stats on certain Bonds ((?) legendary armor?) instead of being solely cosmetic

Again, people are free to debate on what's in the list. If the majority doesn't see a suggestion as necessary, it will be removed.

This list is huge.

 

[Figments]

This list is huge.

I added almost everything people wanted me to add. Trimming the fat is left to everyone to decide.

 

[kasane]

Apparently.

im even more disappointed. Planning to binge so i can reach end game but w/e

even with no hype im severely disappointed

 

[Waylon Drums]

I have my fireteam set to public but I've been alone the whole game. I'm such a failure

 

[IAmRandom31]

Holy god thanks to this rare pulse rifle ... I think I love pulse rifles. Thing is tearing shit up

How do you do this on Xbox?

 

[Hawkian]

About to do the heroic weekly strike. It doesn't matchmake so me and my buddy need a third on xbox, any takers?

dude ;_;

Yep.

This is really cool.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

For a reason.

Shit's hardcore bro.

 

[X-Frame]

I honestly don't understand posts like this.

The game is FPS Diablo with PVP.

This was all very well known. Yes, it's a grind for loot game. The "point" is because it's fun. You grind PVE for loot and then use that loot to shoot people in the face on PVP.

Exactly! I knew this months ago.

 

[catspit]

Anyone have some warlock, sun singer thoughts?

 

[Bunta]

I've played against multiple people now that are near impossible to kill they lag so bad.

 

[Xamdou]

Anyone got the link to all the Destiny codes released thus far?

 

[Ryuuga]

Has anyone successfully completed an heroic strike and gotten an exotic? TylerDurden and I got to Septiks but things fell apart haha. I'll likely get on again if people to attempt it if theres anyone available to due so in about 20 mins:


PSN: Crusocus [PS4]

 

[Syph Medwes]

Soooo where the hell is venus? I'm level 14 and I still haven't played it once in crucible. Did they not include it after the beta? And where is the 5th game mode?

 

[Polarburr]

should i decrypt encrypted engram later on at a higher level? or it doesn't really matter?

So Rusted Lands is actually a good FFA map. It's segmented enough to where you're not getting shot from multiple angles, but open enough to where you don't spend the whole match finding people, like Twilight Gap. The sightlines on that map are so bad. Really should have just been a terrain map in the mountains.

Asylum is a lot of fun too.

Soooo where the hell is venus? I'm level 14 and I still haven't played it once in crucible. Did they not include it after the beta? And where is the 5th game mode?

Shores of Time is in all 3 playlists team playlists and Asylum is in Rumble and Skirmish. There are only 4 PvP modes available so far (unless there's a way to unlock the last two that I don't know about).

 

[Ryuuga]

Engrams drop almost as often as ammo in the later levels, so decrypt what you have now especially if you plan on raising your cryptarch level. Especially since space is limited.

 

[taco543]

anyone elses character stuff messing up? I bought the Ghost edition and sometimes not always but when I log in I can't see my clan, my emblem changes from the beta one down to the default warlock one, my collectors edition ship is invisible when in loading screens and is grayed out in my inventory...

Thanks! Looks like I redeemd em all already... awesome!

 

[purg3]

We just got the Spider tank down on the weekly heroic, this is no joke!

 

[pixxxelz]

Can anyone please explain to me why this ?? enemies still exist are they suppose to be end game content or something

 

[Twilight Gap]

It just means they're a higher level than you. I think it turns to a question mark if they're 4 levels higher than you.

Which reminds me, now that I'm level 19 it's time to go kick grotto's ass.

 

[darthbob]

They're level 18-20.

 

[Figments]

I should probably play the Earth strike, but there isn't a whole lot of people on Xbox 360 still that are in here.

 

[TEH-CJ]

quick...give a one sentence verdict!

Below average.

 

[pixxxelz]

They're level 18-20.

Ah alright then time to stop slacking off I guess

 

[ScRYeD]

[Figments]

This thread really slowed down the past few hours.

 

[darthbob]

Don't worry, the road to Level 20 is a quick one. I got there earlier today.

 

[Chamber]

Completed the heroic story mission, didn't get a single item drop, turned the game off.

That's enough Destiny for today. I played 12 hours anyway.

 

[Xevren]

That feeling when a legendary engram drops

That feeling when it ends up being crafting materials

 

[Teknoman]

Wait wait wait...whats this daily heroic mission?

 

[Xamdou]

Nice! Thanks for the lates code list... I didn't have the Emblem: Note of Conquest but now I do!

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Wait wait wait...whats this daily heroic mission?

Opens up at level 20 I think.

 

[Gator86]

Man, the PVP in this fluctuates from absolute fucking garbage to pretty fun. If the other team outgears yours, you're going to get completely obliterated. Even if you're good, you can't deal with constant grenades and specials as the other team feeds on your helpless teammates.

The maps are so hit or miss. The large vehicle ones are awful. The vehicles in Destiny are so out of place and poorly done they should have just stuck with infantry maps. It would be a different story if there were more vehicles with more roles or variety but nope, nothing close.

 

[malfcn]

I have a Blue engram.
Should I wait until 20, or 21+ etc?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

You level up so quick in PVP

Level 14 and haven't even started Venus quests yet

 

[Etnos]

Not liking the unispiring weapon desing, most assault rifles feel the same, other than the stat boost no weapon is memorable.

As much as I dislike borderlands humor, at least they made creative weapons.

 

[Namikaze1]

Shit! So close to level 22. Also, wasted all my engrams.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Shit! So close to level 22. Also, wasted all my engrams.

What do you mean by wasted? Aren't they level 20+ items by now?

 

[Cuphead]

I'm at 23 and have only done the first Venus mission

 

[Dubz]

Keep getting kicked off in the middle of my first Venus mission. Not cool.

 

[Teknoman]

Opens up at level 20 I think.

Oh. I'm only like 9 so I guess thats why I didnt see.

 

[AaronMT86]

The single player lead me into multiplayer, I joined and got slaughtered by level 16-18's with myself at level 6. Is there no scaling and balance?

 

[shuckit-]

getting a green from a blue engram is such a shitty feeling

 

[David___]

There is.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

What's the difference between the factions in terms of equipment?

Have you played a Bungie game before? They tend to go the realistic route with standard weapons-building upon the concept of form and creating strong, punchy weapons from there.

The more interesting, creative stuff is the magic abilities.

This was never going to be a pop-y, comic book-ish take on things. That's not what Bungie does.

I Just ran up my stairs with BOTH HANDS making guns while doing the sound effects myself and then I shouted I'm gonna shoot a million motherfuckers because who cares about anything but Destiny
