PVP is balanced out until things like Iron Banner open up and then gear will matter

Your stats don't matter in the normal Crucible.

PVP is balanced to where player level and attack rating on weapons don't matter.
The Iron Banner is a different story tough.

It is normalized, says so right on the screen...
The pvp levels everyone's stats. The only advantage is that higher levels have more abilities to choose from.
Well, yeah. They could likely teleport you over to it. That's how playable geometry works! Though it's entirely possible that I'm taking the quote to mean a solid, "One day," and not, "At launch." I don't get the implication that they wanted it at launch at all.
I agree that the idea that the game has massive exploreable areas with minimal boundaries is nonsensical. Though the areas are decently sized.

Not so. A Rare weapons is better than an Uncommon one, even with Attack and Defense stats normalized. Furthermore, higher level players have access to better ability builds.

Can someone advise as to whether there is auto-aim in SP or PvP?
I am manually aiming in both modes, I haven't noticed any 'auto lock', although admittedly I haven't really tried to see if it's there (just press the right trigger and see if it locks).
If there is auto aim, perhaps this explains my crapness in PvP lol!

They're only getting their weapon perks, not actually doing the weapon damage of their lvl 20 gun. probably has more to do with knowing the maps, heavy weapon ammo spawns, and player spawns from playing alot.
I never said it did. I said if you played the beta and got hyped by the beta then I really don't see how you should be dissappointed since the main game is the beta plus more.
I actually agree that those of you paying attention to every thing bungie said pre beta with all the crazy promises. I could see you feeling let down or dissappointed.
Please find and highlight in my post where I said 'don't stand in the fire is an interesting game mechanic I would like translated to Destiny'. I used it a last-ditch example because even something as dull and old as 'don't stand in the fire' would add a level of intricacy to giant boss battles (giant as in bosses that are literally giants) that is currently non-existent in Destiny.
Destiny wants to be an MMO, Bungie have said this time and time again, and it should have bosses in both standard dungeons and raids that cater to a certain level of strategy. Phoboth the Untamed or whatever is Bungie literally just throwing hundreds of trash mobs at you to create chaos and you have to hope you'll survive.
It's not my job to justify Destiny as an MMO or to create the mechanics that Destiny needs to be the game it wants to be, that was up to Bungie. So far ever boss fight I have encountered in Destiny, I've played a hundred times before in other games (granted they didn't have 100000000000000hp).
I guess you missed the part where Activision Blizzard is the same company. So I'll say it for a now third time, Blizzard has been part of Activison for years now. So by Bungie partnering with Activision, they also have access to Blizzard because, hey guess what, it's actually Activision Blizzard. So when I said that Bungie partnered with the company responsible for the most successful MMO ever, I was correct.
Just to be one-hundred-and-ten percent clear, Bobby Kotick is president and CEO of Activision Blizzard.
This is true, but it's unlikely that Activision would stop Bungie talking to Blizzard. And in terms of what my original comment was, it's still right.

Actually while damage is normalized. Your skills and your weapon upgrades still effect the game.
Makes a big difference.
-Take orbs of light out of pvp.
-PVP game mode with no supers.
-Move capture point B in blindwatch. In control it becomes about who can keep themselves from capping A the longest.
Haven't had a problem taking out people higher level then me in pvp at all. Just won a rumble where a level 24 hunter was participating.

- Roaming enemies
- More randomized enemy spawns for both static spawns and roaming enemies
- Ablity to turn on flash light
- Make clans worth their existence
- Ability to create private multiplayer matches like in halo games
- Nerf Strike boss health by 60-70% across the board
- Fix pvp rewards so it isn't seemingly random whether the guy with a k/d ratio of 10, or the guy with a .1 k/d ratio gets an item
- Make this so called social game, actually feel social.
- Make public event's way more common. I've completed the freaking campaign and the only public event I saw was one with litterally 5 seconds left, as I spawned in the moon
I would put the ability to join public missions with randoms above all of that

And why would I want them?
I forgot a major one...we need WAY more public events

Again, this is a Diablo-esque game. It's about blasting your way to the end and getting the loot.
Oh really ?! I'm a good player and I was not able to do anything vs lvl20+ players

Public events should crop up on average every 30 minutes at LEAST for each player. They completely fucked it up. I need action in my veins... this ONE change would make the game so much more exciting and social. Do they monitor the forum feedback on Bungie.net?
I need to post and get this shit FIXED ASAP. This is ridiculous. Come on GAF everyone post we need this changed. It's super barren and just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Change it now!

Diablo has a shit load of NPC's and dialog to develope the Story and overall Lore. Destiny hasnt got 5% of that.

Not saying you can't take em out. Just saying it does effect the game.
They actually fucked that up mid-beta if I recall. At the beginning of the beta Public events happened left and right, by the end I couldn't find any. I haven't run into a single public event since launch myself.
Sorta quoted the wrong person I suppose. No problem.
No. This is one of the things bungie got right. You should be able to get equal chances on loot if you play pvp. There is a reward for doing well. When you win you get twice the points. Shutting people out of the dice roll is an anti incentive for new players to pvp.
Sparrow races
No helmet display option outside of the city
4 man fireteams for standard story missions (3 is an odd limit)
Clan+Friends fireteam setting
EDIT: Public proximity voice chat would be amazing. Loved that about older Halo titles or any game that featured it.

Regarding the spoiler:
since the ogre is all chained up, I had hoped his attacks would have caused some environmental destruction hazards. Like cracks in the floor that would give way to holes you'd need to avoid, or knocking down some of the pillars if you were standing on tip of them.
13. I don't think being a high level or it being in competitive MP is a good justification.

Armour/Gear "loadouts" or "suits" that you can save and swap between. I like to switch between several different setups depending on what I'm doing at the time, what weapon I'm using primarily, subclass, etc. I should be able to "save" a setup to quickly swap between them when I want to rather than doing each piece all one by one.
SDCowboy

lolwut? No it doesn't. Diablo was never about the story. It's blast your way to the end of the quest, get the gear and move on.
Diablo also has a ton of different locations and a ton of different enemy types. I hope they add more. Lame to have so few.
Just get a shotgun and get in their faces. Works wonders.

Actually I'm quite fine with the enemy A.I. Or I am after the Mars strike. That was intense and difficult.

I can't argue with the lack of differing enemies.
Update 3:
What features/fixes should Bungie bring to Destiny before the first expansion?
- In-game Clan Management
- Guild Halls
- Improved encounter design
- Custom games
- Fileshare
- Improved enemy AI
- Improved variety of Patrol missions (possibly more context, too)
- Ability to skip cutscenes
- Stats on certain Bonds ((?) legendary armor?) instead of being solely cosmetic
- 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
- Clan-specific awards
- Clan challenges
- Change Strike boss encounter design (more challenging, less bullet sponge)
- Change PVP reward drop randomization (possibly axe random entirely)
- Join Public Missions matchmaking
- Increase frequency of public events
- Sparrow races
- Possibility of 4-man fireteams (?)
- Clan + Friends settings
You can totes debate the list, ya know. If there's anything you disagree with.

-Axe the orbital layer entirely. Just have the map be part of the interface where you go to head back into orbit now.

Bounties are unlocked once you hit level 4.
Diablo 3, at least, does have a ton of NPC dialogue that you can listen to if you so choose. There are even side-quests that unlock through your followers dialogue options.
It's a little disingenuous to say Diablo has a ton of different locations... Enemy types are varied enough, sure.

Destiny right now is Diablo 3 Vanilla.
It's a good game, but it can be so much better. Add a bunch more loot and more raids/instanced areas for parties with more loot and I'll be happy. A level increase akin to Diablo 3's Paragon system would be welcome too, but I wouldn't expect that or any of this really anytime soon.
If Bungie expects longevity for this title than they really need to add more loot and more encounters (for example Diablo 3's abundance of Key Wardens and Nephalem Rifts).
Right now it's something that I'll come back to for a couple weeks, but I expect myself and a lot of people to drop off. There just doesn't seem to be enough content to justify playing it for as long as I intended =/.
It's just such a unique experience that I hope Bungie builds much more upon it, which I'm competent they will if they're anything like they were in the past for previous Halo titles.

Fighting the Cabal is awesome, especially the mars strike mission.
I do feel like this game misses like 30~35%
I wasn't justifying your experience or mine. Just that it isn't like that in end game and I was asking for your frame of reference. And you don't even need great loot leveling. But yeah its pretty dry loot wise 5-15. They nerved the crap out of loot since beta.
