Since I cant get this noticed as a forum post because of all the negative ones flooding in and pushing it to the bottom, i will post my idea here instead. Here is a link to my post so you can upvote it and make destiny better...
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/189394138/0/0
This will be the 6th time I've pitched this idea over the course of Destiny's life cycle (judging by the forum community it isnt doing too hot right now) So Hopefully this will revive it to some extent. However nothing can replace a good ol expansion with the likes of TTK. This idea that I have would fit perfectly with it though.
We will start with part 1 of my idea and I will go into detail of how it would work.
1.) Clan house
The clan house feature would work like this, when a clan has 6 members it will unlock a mission for the clan leader and he must take a raid team with him to claim a long lost tower (like the tower we see in the last city) and this tower is overrun and has become the stronghold for an enemy faction. The mission to fight with your team to the top and kill the boss and plant your clan flag. This will unlock a new public social area for your entire clan.
Now that you have the tower cleared out of enemies you cant help but notice how damaged it is, so now a new mission appears for all clan members to work on: finding blueprints of new rooms to rebuild the tower how you see fit.
The room blueprints will come in as mission rewards or possibly as an engram (probably much more rare to happen)
To build these rooms you will need to collect required resources and each clan member can donate to the pool to help build the room, each room will have a leaderboard of who donated the most to the room and will receive a reward of some kind (purple engram, 1000 glimmer, 500 rep points to your faction) to keep things competitive.
Common Room- Small, Basic layout, nothing special, but it's your current home and it's to get you started. these rooms are unlocked after you take the tower.
UnCommon Room- A little bigger and more detailed version of the common room, its a bit more pleasing to the eye
Rare Room- Bigger and more detailed than the uncommon, this room type unlocks a rooms "function"
Legendary Room- Large and Visually impressive room, all functions are available for the room
Exotic Room- these will be hard to find like any exotic, they will be huge and visually magnificent, all room functions are still available like the legendary room, but with one more exotic function. your custom clan flag can now be hung inside (example idea)
Now as you may be wondering what i mean by function in the above listed room types, lets say we have different types of rooms and they will be the following
Grand Hall- The biggest room of the clan house, a place for chilling and hanging out with your clan, yes your full 100 member clan (which means server capacity has to be increased, get on that Bungie, it's 2016 many games have already blown this number out of the water)
Combat room-Private match making (no rewards) (with the function you will be able to earn the clan themed class item in accordance to the level of the room type, rare, legendary, exotic)
Front Courtyard- Like the tower, this area will provide you with an excellent view of the surrounding terrain, however the surrounding scene can be changed when you find blueprints for it
Trophy Room- Want to show the world what your clan has conquered? These relics from past victories adorn the walls and marble pedestals. These objects can only be obtained when you complete a mission, strike or Raid with all members of the party being in YOUR clan (this restriction will help players want to join clans) you can even have a sign on it of the people who completed each of the missions first
Hangar- Like the Tower this room will allow you to check on new missions and bounties from respective factions (there will be a booth for each one) also you will see a rotation of the clan's ships in the holding bays, some flying in, some departing. and being able to explore the WHOLE ROOM, not being limited to the walkway, we want to get up close to our ships ya know?
Cosmetic Room-This room more or less functions as something neat to look at, kinda like the observatory where the speaker chills out. This room will have multiple sub-variants
-Tactical Center (cool 3D map showing tactical stuff)-weapons room(actual display of weapons you earned)-sparrow bike displays(actual display of legendary bikes or exotic bikes you earned/bought)
Secondary Courtyard- You know the back courtyard where Lord Salad does his iron banana stuff? That's the back courtyard. Here you can chill and enjoy the view, same as the front courtyard. Perhaps here you can have your PVP trophies displayed from the varying PVP modes that come and go.
Hall of Armor- Ever wanted to hang on to a set of Raid Armor that was suddenly no longer powerful enough to serve you? Put it in here on display, each member can donate a part of a suit (in case you are missing the elusive helmet) and below the suit will be a sign that will read who donated what parts. Once the parts are donated there they will stay. Here you can honor the visage of fallen guardians like Kabr stand once again. (also it'll look something like iron mans hall of armor so it'll look cool as can be)
The Hot Gates- This room is separate from the rest of the tower, it also acts as a public event area for your clan. a 16 player defense mode against waves of increasingly harder enemies. You know that Fallen boss you killed to take the tower? well his friends want it back. This is a public event that will have to be triggered by the clan (similar to the triggering of the court of oryx) or Perhaps the public event will happen on its own and failure to defend the hot gates will result in a temporary blocked access to your clan tower. (edit: the triggered mode will have an unending set of waves and no failure penalty, the spontanious version will have 10 rounds and a failure penalty)
Now finally onto part 2 (this one is a bit shorter so if you made it this far, its almost over)
Part 2 is clan functions
Custom Ranks- Clan leader is able to assign ranks to clan members that will appear on players profile tabs
(example, my clan is Crusader themed so a rank could be Templar-KrypticWarrior)
Clan message- have a specific goal or raid you want to get people to volunteer for? you can make an announcement to the clan here (the message will also appear in the front courtyard of the clan house)
Clan bank- the leader and Co-leaders will have access to the clan bank, it is simply the pool in which your clan members donate resources to help build rooms of the tower. So the leader or co leader can take from the pool and use the resources to expand the tower rooms at will and build more expansions or upgrade existing rooms when a higher grade blueprint is found.
So that's it, that's my idea Bungie. I want Destiny to be amazing, more than anything. I invested a lot of money into the game already (more than most people) because I believe in Destiny still. Right now its hit a rough spot, but I believe with these additions to the game, it will not only re-invigorate clan activity, but player activity as well. Room blueprints could even be sold by Tess Everis which would be beneficial to you on the business side.

Really good Idea, it will just be hard to implement.

This is a great idea, I imagine right now it would be hard to implement, but it would be super cool if they added this in should they ever open up the city. I feel that would be an awesome place to put it.
-
yeah the original idea was to have the tower somewhere along the outer wall at a decommissioned site, but it didnt work well with the whole "reclaim this site from a group of fallen" and also part of the idea is to have the option to change the setting in which your tower or outpost was positioned, say for instance, out in the ocean, or up in the mountains

Edited by Life1NCWC2: 2/9/2016 3:59:34 AMBump. This is a great idea. Destiny would be so much better if it had this.
-
thank you for your support man
-
-
I love the ideas your outing out there destiny would have so much more diversity and fun content and having you clan do something other than earn you an achievement and to look pretty It would make me want to create a clan so that I could do this with my friends and feel like I'm part of something I wish Bungie could find this and make it. GOOD IDEA :^)
-
The idea while on the surface seems good has to many issues that conflict with current operations of the game. Something on this scale would have to be implimented in destiny 2. It's a good idea but impractical for it to be done at the moment when destiny 2 is in the works.
-
they have enough people and resources
-
Not with Activision calling the shots they won't do it in this destiny.
-
when there is potential money to be made, im sure activision will be all over it, and this certainly can make money (granted I would prefer it to be free, but it is a business and people need to eat)
-
Expenses including an overhaul of the server system in game content design increasing or the option of using small items purchase through silver. Activision really only cares about how to make money fast that's why we have games like call of duty which is the same thing released every year they don't care about content and they won't give it to you if they have to overhaul thier system that's why destiny has connection issues most of the time it's the gamers connection but the rest is crappy servers. That's also why there is a limit to the number of people who can be in one instance of any of thier games where battlefield or halo can have many more that that. Basicly Activision doesn't care and one day they will learn when it comes crashing down around them. Till then raid and rejoice. Also yes I don't make much sense but I'm also have asleep and only responding because my phone woke me up
-
sleep well
-
The siren song of my pillow is very seducing so I will.
-
-
Yes this would definitely make it feel more like an RPG game! I love this idea^^
-
Bump bump bump and i love you for having that brain of yours
-
thanks man! thank you for your support!

Edited by Yankeesfan619: 2/1/2016 8:58:20 PMI was thinking about a crucible/ pve game mode. It would be fireteams of 6 racing to beat a raid. All 3 raids can be chosen from a vote that the two teams decide from. All of the raids will also be brought up to TTK standards for a raid. You will be able to get loot up to 330 if your light level is 315+, Up to 320 if your light is 310+, and up to 310 if your light is 290-309. I figured this would be a great way to bring back the old raids, and make people 10x as excited about the crucible with a new gamemode and a good way to integrate voting.
-
It would work out really well with your clan house idea. (By the way I love it).
-
Great idea man! Loved it! That alone could be a dlc/expansion.
-
it would certainly get me back into the game
