Couple of minor enhancements Destiny could use... (Destiny)

...to improve my gameplay experience:

1. Gjallahorn needs to howl when I fire it. Not a bona fide wolf howl, but something that clearly evokes one.

2. Dead Orbit needs a hand cannon. It would be extra nice if it had a higher than average firing rate.

3. Farming-aid consumables. Something that will provide a waypoint or make resources pop up on your radar, similar to how enemies do, but using a different color and extended range. I have no issue running hither-and-yon to collect them, but something that tells me where they are, even if only for ten minutes at a time, would be nice.

4. Faction rep accelerators. Could be a consumable that applies across the board, could just be level 2-3 faction gear that only accelerates the gain rate for rep of that faction. But yes, that.

PS - Less minor but nonetheless necessary enhancements:

More varied patrol missions/public events: Escort missions would do a lot of good. The whole chase-down-this-target thing is...eh. It's always more frustrating than it is fun. Mass Effect 3 multiplayer did a decent escort mission. And everybody has fun doing that in TF2. I'd personally prefer to escort something that gives buffs, but minding the damage incurred by the objective is kind of an important facet for me. Would be fun to put a Defender to work.

New objective gametypes in Crucible. Hand-in-hand with the previous point. Juggernaut with the Sword of Crota is a drum I'm going to bang on for a while, as others have. Likely to turn into a Bladedancer party, but w/e. I could do with some of that.

Things like Headhunter and Crazy King (or entirely new shenanigans) are needed. I know I'm not alone on this, and I expect chances are good we'll see a bit in this vein, so I remain hopeful.

Thoughts?
