As you all know, Destiny Beta is currently underway (Well, it's offline for maintenance till Wednesday, but yeah.) and it's got me thinking. As much as DUST is a **** game (sorry, not sorry CCP) it has a potential to be great. We all know that, and we've all known that since beta. Anyways, there are many features in both games that I like, and if anyone at CCP reads this (doubt it) then I ask that you go off and work out a way to implement it in Legion, because I honestly don't see Legion being any better than DUST atm.
So, the key things of Destiny that stand out to me are:
- Social Area - There is a single area in Destiny called the Tower, it's instanced with about 12-16 players per instance and you go about your business, buying stuff, acquiring bounties and kicking a football around. It's not much, but it's something, it adds a bit to the game, you can talk to the NPC vendors and such also.
I feel if you add a Social Area to DUST, it would add something to it, make it instanced, have NPCs that will offer insight into the EVE universe, definitely add Slay, allowing it to be played across all instances. Let me jump, wave, dance and sit down, maybe even add a random ball that spawns in that I can push about. Add random functions to the area, like locking someone in an airlock and watching it pull them out into space.. ^_^
- Speeders - Speeder Bikes are epic, enough said, needed to be done at the start of the game.
- Joining Fireteams at nearly anytime - Fireteams in Destiny are squads, and you are always in a Fireteam, even if you're by yourself. you can set it to Private, Friends or Public, and it can be joined at nearly anytime, even if you're out exploring, in a mission or playing PvP providing there's space.
I believe it would add more flexibility to DUST, nothings worse than missing your buds invite by a few a seconds, they join a match and they're playing at 15/16 and you can't join them.
[*]PvE - Drones, they don't need to be super smart, they can even have lock on weapons that I need to jump behind cover for, just give us a PvE option, I've noticed that I can get bored of PvP in Destiny, so having an option to just shoot things mindlessly (most of the time) allows me time to recharge, and guess what, I'm still playing the game.
Rather than logging off when bored of DUST PvP, I could be shooting drones and still playing DUST rather than playing another game to mindlessly shoot things.
- Balanced PvP (most of the time) - Destiny PvP matches skill levels, a lot of modes also remove any level based stats, and this includes higher tier weapons being more effective than lower tier weapons, meaning you could bring in a Level 20 weapon against my Level 2 weapon, if you're not good enough you're ******.
I would like to see SP factor into public matchmaking alongside KDR and WPR
- Smaller Maps - Does Ambush really need to be that big?
That's the stuff from Destiny, in DUST there are many things I enjoy, like the complexity, the skill trees and terminology. Please don't change that. The Customization is wonderful and literally needs a few things added, like colouring for dropsuits, Officer gear visibly badass, etc.
What DUST really needs is to increase its complexity the further you go with it, EVE has so much more to offer players that DUST could take from, and if you keep with the lore and similar systems, it means EVE players can come to DUST with their knowledge and not be lost and at the same time DUST players can come to EVE and be like "****, this is like DUST but I'm in a spaceship and don't need to aim my shots".
