Also I was wondering if I could change the topic because the discussion is changing.Of course you can. The only time I've seen a community be pissed at an OP for changing the topic is if the original thread was of the Shock variety or if it's deleting the whole thing because they're pissed people don't agree with them.
But as for this:hat are you thinking will be added withthe new updates. What new ideas will be added to connect to the game.
That's a very interesting question. Because Bungie has an opportunity to make Bungie.net a very integral part of Destiny apart from simply using it as a site upon which to host forums and stats. It can be a tool rather than an accessory. A feature rather than an afterthought. An innovation rather than a run of the mill developers' forum.
Like I've mentioned before, utilizing it as a place to conduct trade (like an in-site WoW Auction House) would be amazing. Using a system like that (searching for items, setting filters, etc.) would be annoying to do in-game, on a console (using joysticks and the A button); it'd be almost as annoying as sending long messages on the Xbox (and I can't imagine its Sony counterpart makes things a whole helluva lot easier in that department).
Any other sort of character management, game-related and -applicable and -important group (faction) discussions in specific group (faction) forums. All these kinds of things can have Destiny do to MMOs what Halo did to the FPS.
The potential to do something absolutely amazing with this blank slate they've set in front of themselves is inconceivable, so I just hope they've got lots of chalk.
edit: While re-reading my post, specifically the part about group (faction) forums, I had an idea and I want to write it down before I forget it.
When you make the game, after some sort of tutorial level area thing, you pick a faction. Then, if you link your account to Bungie.net, Bungie can go in and read which faction you picked. This grants you access to the forums for that specific faction, sort of like a very inclusive private group forum where you can choose to talk about the game in general, or faction specific stuff.
But! the real idea was this: If there's some sort of espionage that can occur between groups (yes... I'm going there), then people who are really good at it or do a special thingy somewhere (obviously not everyone could do it), you could gain access (maybe for a day, two days, whatever) to another factions forum. Posting in there would alert them to you being there and they could kick you out but you could... yknow... lurk and find stuff out about them or whatever.
...
Okay, so it wasn't terribly fleshed out. I'm just putting pen to paper (in a virtual manner) so I don't forget the idea. *thread saved*
