I want this to be an open discussion on on a few things around SRL (Sparrow Racing League) There doesn't have to be any hostility here, the more mature we are the more we are taken seriously.
I'd like to start off saying that I'm having fun, I've been away since Fallout 4 came out and this is what I needed to bring me back for a bit. At the end of the day I do love Destiny, I really enjoy it even though I'm an Xbox One player and the game does have some pitfalls. We have all heard the complaints before so let's not waste our time.
[b]Tess Eververse should not be selling random sparrows[/b]
We are paying good money for them, I don't want to buy something with a CHANCE to get what I want. Heck I'd pay an extra dollar just to have the choice. So why did Bungie decide to do it this way? My guess is that some type of data said this would be a fun way to collect them or that more profit would come from this system.
[b]These Sparrows are too hard to control and the maps suck[/b]
I think the racing system is just fine..
Granted you will get your sparrow caught on objects, stopped against walls, and flung into the air by other players. Given these frustrations I think the racing system is just fine, this doesn't seem half baked. We asked for this and we got it.. That doesn't mean it should be easy or that you should win every time, this does take a great amount of skill to master is what I'm noticing.
[b]Amanda Holiday is not enough[/b]
She isn't cutting it, plain and simple. I'm not here to complain though, I'm here to offer solutions. Have her sell more to us, I have a lot of glimmer and I earned that glimmer. If I have a high enough SRL rank I should be able to buy cosmetic items from her because I WANT to use SRL gear/emblems/shaders and enjoy the event. Here's a list of ideas I'd like to see
[b]1. Eververse Sparrows[/b]
a. Sell them for 25k glimmer I really don't care, just give me another option instead of cash.. they're cool.
[b]2. Event Shaders[/b]
a. You don't need to sell all of them, just a couple in case they don't drop for me.
[b]3. Horns[/b]
a. I think the horns are fun, let me put glimmer towards them and get one I really want.
[b]4. SRL Armor[/b]
a. Help me complete a set of vanity gear and sell me those missing pieces to my set.
[b]5. SRL Emblems[/b]
a. Give me an option to buy and use SRL emblems, I want to represent the event.
[b][u]SUMMARY[/u][/b]
[b]World of Warcraft does so well because it allows players to always move forward no matter what they choose to do. If a piece of gear doesn't drop for you in a raid you are at least getting tokens to save up and just purchase the gear... THE SAME GEAR. If I've run a raid a dozen times and I'm not getting a helmet that I'd really like I think I should be able to buy it with tokens that drop, as far as games go I feel I've earned it.
I believe this single aspect has a great effect on the entire community, It helps remove hostility from the way players talk about Destiny. I like this game, I want to see it succeed, I want it to live up to what we thought it would be. Bungie, please consider this idea, it benefits everyone.[/b]
[b]Destiny Community,
How do you feel about all this?[/b]

Upfront im ps3, i do agree with your post, i like the gear as well. But outside srl ive been shooting for the psion flayer cloaks, ive grinded endless hours ive done all the tips and tricks and got nothing but legendary engrams that turn into the same armor, the vanguard armor. While i do like the helms, i dont much care for the overall look of either sets. And as much as i play the game a token cash in system would be awesome. Id be willing to get a really shitty 100 light leg cloak and level it and infuse it if it was one i really wanted. Per example i really love my ghost angel cloak from vanilla destiny i wear it all the time when light doesnt matter. I support this post. You expressed this in a professional manner.
