what i want from Destiny, whether its in this game or Destiny 3, is to actually see the last city. Id go down an elevator from the tower and travel along the highway or whatever and then enter the city.
in real time. No menus. No loading. Whether it has to be an MMO or not i dont care. But if there is one thing to take from MMOs, its that feeling of a connected world. perhaps the city is already a location in retail. in the beta, i felt completely isolated from it and it made it harder to care that this was the last city on earth. as a guardian, id much rather spend my time having dance parties and bungee jumping ofd the tower (no pun intended) than save people i havent seen or met from aliens.
I also hope to one day fly my ship from Old Russia to Venus
myself without going through "the director". This is what initial articles last winter led me to believe the game was going to someday achieve, so i hope that they can accomplish this in its lifespan.
at the very least, make an animation for my guardian entering and exiting the ship and docking it somewhere. the whole "space magic teleport out" and then the ship flies off on its own just feels lazy. its the same thing with deliberate loot crates and impersonal mission beacons. i think people would feel more immersed in the existing world regardless of its size if Bungie made some aspects more organic.
