Destiny |OT23| This Train is Bound for Mercury

should i reroll my nearly perfect party crasher because it only has field choke and not aggressive ballistics?

it has shot package, rifled barrel and final round otherwise.

Hah Cauldron. Bungie straight up trolling people - I feel like I've heard a lot of hate for that map. I don't have a problem with it personally, so sounds like a fun weekend ahead... Nowhere to hide!
 
According to some of these comments i'm reading, apparently nobody likes Cauldron?

I don't think as highly of it as i used to, but i fail to see how it's even close to "worst map in the game".

There are at least dozen maps I'd put ahead of it for that criteria.

I don't think it belongs in Control, but then you could say the same for the majority of the maps in that playlist.

Exactly. You can't be a crouching tiger hidden dragon on this map. If you camp behind doors, you're just going to be flanked.

Maybe that's why everyone is complaining.

I don't like it because of the doors, other than that I really like it

Kinda surprised here too. I really enjoy the map.

So last night myself and a 12 pack of beer took on the summoning pits for the last part of the thorn bounty. It was a lot of cheesing but man it felt good to actually get it done.

I hate shotguns and maps where I can't snipe much makes me feel useless :p

Jeez, I guess all the good teams are out. We faced one that just destroyed us, not even mad... They were really good.

Also teabagging everywhere :/

Never let tea bagging bother you. It's only a distraction. I'm over that dumb thing.
 
  • Custom PvP lobbies
  • Dynamic enemy spawns with better AI - I don't wanna see the same enemies in the same positions on the same timers every single time I run a mission/Strike/Raid
  • Take advantage of Patrol areas. They're currently useless except for a few bounties. Give us a notification on the Director - quick, 25 minute large scale battle in Mars! Get there and find a 16 man public event against a ridiculous boss or enemy wave. Get a good reward from it. Do this once or twice a week at random intervals.
  • Engage a little more with small cosmetic changes. Halloween heads were nice, but some snow or decorations in the Tower during Christmas for example would be a nice touch. It's nothing, taken individually, but a lot of small details of this kind would be nice.
  • Better inventory management. Relying on my phone to move stuff around is less than ideal. I can't access gear equipped on another character without going through 5 loading screens, it's crazy. Give me loudouts in-game man.
  • Mission design needs a lot of work. HoW does better than what came before it, but I want to see set pieces and varied plot-driven missions. Escape a ship before it blows, on a timer, while fighting enemies; escort someone; anything but "wave of enemies to kill while Ghost ______". I don't want this to be Mass Effect or Halo, but the game could take some cues from both franchises.
  • Controversial maybe, but voice-chat should be opt-out. Making it opt-in and introducing it so late in the game has turned this into a 100% mute game unless you are in a fire team. I have not once had randoms talk during matchmade PvE or PvP, and the game is worse for it.
  • Hover over Nightfall. 5 friends are here. Oh cool maybe one of them has a spot. Who the fuck are these 5 people? I have to glance over each friend, one by one... it's insane. If you won't give me a matchmaking room in the Tower, at least let me indicate to people on my friend's list that I'm LFG NF when they hover over my name.
  • Let me pick up and turn in Bounties from the app. Seriously, don't make me to to the Tower that often. It feels forced.
  • A statue in the tower for a raid's World First team may have been nothing more than a misunderstanding, but it sounds freaking cool.
  • A Library at the Tower where I can go read my Grimoire. Maybe even have voiced over?
  • Faction Ghost shells, Sparrows, purchasable shaders and ships
These are all really excellent ideas. I've always wanted the Vault to be on your ship and not at any one (or two) locations.

I would definitely like some sort of LFG module at the social locals, or at the very least an indicator that you can attach to your character showing your friends what you're wanting to play. It would expire whenever you idled in orbit for too long, so you wouldn't fall into the same trap that the xbox beacons have of forgetting to turn it off.

Great list.
 
Cauldron's well-designed. I don't like the doors either. Other than that it's just my style.

What they could have done was make the red spawn area more of a room and then make the center room more open with a high platform that extended from the heavy ammo bridge. The control point would then be below this instead of in front of that altar.

Removing the doorways would then make the center piece more contestable, and it would increase traffic outdoors because you'd be directly contesting the height advantage, whereas contesting from the low point would put you at a natural disadvantage.

It would have been a perfect map.

Sorta, out where the one weird heavy ammo spawn is you can.

Yea but you'll get killed if you keep doing it or do it for long as it's easy to get flanked. I like maps where I can run around and snipe in an instant, this one is too close quarters for me to snipe in 3vs3...I can snipe here in Control but I can do that on any map in control.

And fuck automatic doors.
