For those who don't know, any guardian who has either purchased both Destiny Expansions (The Dark Below and House Of Wolves) or has reached light level 30 with one of their characters before 8/31/2015 is rewarded with exclusive VIP rewards upon purchase of TTK.
These VIP rewards include the following exclusives:
-The "Brave Ghost Shell"
-The "Be Brave Emblem"
-The "Old Guard Shader"
-And Finally the "S-34 Ravensteel Sparrow"
For a more detailed explanation look here

These rewards are fairly earned by those guardians who committed themselves to year one Destiny and saying that, Thank you Bungie... [b]BUT[/b]... I would like to offer a thought :
-These rewards are a great way for year one players to show off their veteran status, but at the same time, [b]they're worse than other content![/b] As to avoid confusion, I am referring to the VIP "S-34 Ravensteel Sparrow". From how I understand (or possibly from how we've been mislead to believe) this Sparrow acts similarly to a [b]rare sparrow boasted with a legendary drive core[/b]. This means that it lacks the "both trigger boost" that prime legendary sparrows like Timebreaker and Graverobber have. How are we supposed to show off our rewards when we are falling behind the other faster guardians? Shouldn't our devotion be worth [b]a valuable and respectable reward?[/b].
[b]THE IMPORTANT PART![/b]
I'm not posting this to criticize Bungie, in fact I'm here to recommend an idea to them. [b]Why not make the S-34 Ravensteel Sparrow an Exotic???[/b]. Now that would be a reward I would like to show off! Please, if not an exotic, bring it to par with sparrows like Timebreaker. You say you truly care for your veterans - This would be a amazing way to show it! Please, Cozmo, Deej, Bungie, take this thought under some deep consideration, and don't let your veterans fall behind the younger players and their faster sparrows. Thank you.
Please Comment and Like! Show your support for this idea!!!
-Sincerely, Sentry222
Edit : Some people have noted that an upgraded rare sparrow has actually a faster base speed than a legendary does. Keep this in mind when thinking about ways we can have the S-34 Ravensteel sparrow stand out amongst the rest!

There are exotic sparrows in the game

Who else is ready for ttk if ur looking a player hit me up on Xbox one my gamer tag is shamrock1198 can't wait to play with u all on sep 15

An exotic sparrow would be awesome. Maybe give it 130 speed and guns on the front? 2 guns at the front that each deal as much damage as an auto rifle of the highest Attack value in game. So if the Max damage was 350 they would be 350. It would be taken out in the combined arms playlist for balance reasons.
-
how about a Year 1 exclusive ship instead of a sparrow? Maybe along the lines of Light in the Abyss/Bane of the Dark Gods except instead of a skull on the front it's Peter Dinklage's face
-
Ok here is what exotic sparrows should do: Voidrunner:poops out mini nova bombs & leaves a trail of space magic. Solarspeeder:poops out mini solar flares & scorches the ground leaving a trail of fire. ArcsArrow:creates chain lightning as it flies over water, leaves a trail of static electricity. Special: creates an elemental aura that grants a temporary over shield and does dot to anything remaining within the field of effect.
-
How about anything BUT a sparrow. A new only to year 1 players ground transport that is not a sparrow. Or a radically altered sparrow, more bits on it, instead of the constantly reskinned version of the same sparrow we start with, with slightly different stats. The Reskin is strong in this game and it needs to stop.

When sparrow surfing your sparrow will go into "overdrive" emitting a greenish glow and going much faster

Didn't deej say something about year 1 players getting better rewards a few weeks ago?

What would be cool is that if the sparrow was an exotic it's special perk would be like a bunny hop. You press L1 + R1 or LB + RB and you get some pretty good air like the height of a hunter standard double jump.. Just something I think would be cool
-
"yawn" said bungie.
-
A big giant magnified middlefinger, that is what we get at VIP year one players, bungie doesnt care about year one VIP's

I'm gonna be pissed if we can't do tricks on that thing.
-
Why not have the tumblers air stabilizer deactivation perk, with the time breaker/grave robber speed boost?
-
How about not shitty little cosmetics and they give us the game we paid for a year ago?
-
Cool idea. You have my support for this idea.

This whole topic gets me pissed. Those who played for a year and devoted themselves get a shader, an emblem and a sub par sparrow. Noobs who pay for the collectors edition which is only $20 extra for them if they don't have the rest of the content and would have bought the legendary edition anyway get Exotic items, shaders and emotes. That goes to show the appreciation and the respect bungievision has for their loyal fanbase, for the true fans. I do not mind that they are trying to rake in new players, but don't give them exotic gear that has not been available in game , and then give the shaft to veterans. Shame on you!
-
those are not "rewards" because players need to buy ttk first to get those items.
-
What would be nice is all the venders sell or complete bounties ect, In order to get ghost and sparrows. I seen a picture on this app that had matching gost and sparrows for all venders and even IB that looked really cool. Don't know if its something they will add, but it would be something id be really interested in to getting.
-
As soon as I saw the trailer I, too thought, "these rewards are LEGENDARY? Like, not to hate, but I feel like it would have so much more of a flat if it were simply exotic. Not changing anything but the color of the icon, I feel like that would show real VIP status
-
Could it please also do the stunts like the tumbler? I wasn't able to get a tumbler, and I really want to do some of the stunts :(
