Sparrow Racing: What needs a boost?
I, for one, have had serious fun with the SRL and want it to return better! So I wanted to create this so people can put their thoughts into this.
[spoiler]Be serious people, what would make this better? If you don't like the game mode for the sake of hating it, that's understandable, but if you have useful feedback, please share it otherwise it will not get better.[/spoiler]
1. More maps: This is pretty apparent, two maps is not going to cut it. Several ideas you can USE BUNGIE (please?)- Street race within the Last City or around the Walls, Touring the facility of Clovis Bray, Ascendent realm anyone?, Moon racing within craters, A straight dive into Crota's realm and a race to his tomb to be brought back up by Hive Arcana, A Light Bridge amongst the asteroid and scrap fields of the Reef (Rainbow Reef?). ADD MORE MAPS that are rotated evenly so nothing is favored over the other like in Crucible...
2. More gamemodes: Maybe have a tag team style race? Two-four teams of two racers going for the win. How about a deathmatch style race complete with guns, abilities and the like? Maybe a no contact race? Infinite max boost with lots of turns? A run from Braxx race like the mission in Lost Light? The posibilities are endless here.
3. Fix the GLITCHES: Those fans on the Mars track can go screw themselves...., These glitches that make the game inconsistent such as being bumped and shot across the map only to have your efforts to pit maneuver someone fail miserably, randomly spinning out, losing control for no reason, and the strange gravity need to be fixed and fixed quickly.
4. More Sparrows/Customizable ones maybe?: The sleek look and sounds of the newest sparrows are amazing but there needs to be more of them or give us the option to make our own for cosmetic looks by letting us buy sparrow frames and parts from Holliday for Glimmer or other things so we don't have so much d*** armor parts...
5. Loot drops expanded: Grinding races has been a blast and you actually get decent loot (legendary easily in the 290+ range for those that can't do the Raids and Trials) but now that all my marks and helmets are almost 300 light on all three of my characters it would be nice to find the other pieces of gear with that light level
6. Tournament races: Similar to Iron Banner (will come around once a month for a week before or after Banner) but will grant bonus stuff to the WINNER, Second and Runner up with those in last getting little so there is more incentive to win, no more RNG based loot make it Skilled based here.
7. Beginning cutscene for races: As much as I LOVE this, it only features three players and they don't rotate often enough so everyone gets as chance at the spotlight. Make it to where it premieres everyone briefly before focusing on others more carefully. Also have it rotate to other cutscenes so there is more variety.
8. NO MORE RANDOM DROPS FROM MICRO-TRANSACTION PACKAGES EVER: This should be higher on the list but it's more of the back roots of the event and pertains to Eververse in general. If I'm going to pour $5 $10 or more bucks into getting the Sparrow or other cosmetic that I want, then there is something messed up with this cash grab/milking system. I should be allowed to pick what I want the FIRST time instead of praying to the RNG gods to give me what I want. Also don't make this a pay to win system otherwise things will go to s***
9. A SRL Ghost: Imagine Nolanbot with racing goggles over his core and a scarf that rests on the bottom part of his shell and leaves a trail of light like the marks do? That would be worth it, just a thought Bungie (please add this!)
Alright there's my list, what do you got? Let's make this game better so we can all have a better time and have FUN like the game is supposed to provide. Post your ideas in the comments below and if anyone has a connection to Bungie, send them this way please.

1 Reply#3 YES! Ive lost 3 races to that and it pissed me off so bad!

6 RepliesThis.

1 ReplyHow about take out the idea of pushing people. Their is no skill involved with pushing people and not using tactics and maneuvering. -blam!- SRL.
-
1 ReplyI would love to see a longer questline! Imagine how fun it would be if you could keep pushing the same quest farther and farther. Maybe make it to where upon completing the questline, it just starts the same quest again but the challenge is greater. hit 15 gates in a row ----> hit 20---> hit 30...
-
1 ReplyThey should fix how the gates proc. I am doing the hit 15 gates in a row, and failed because three didn't proc. I was IN THE MIDDLE of the gate. Then, I was like two feet out of it and it procced. Sent me into a wall.

SRL Quest and Book Farming. Add me GTA51999 ON PS4 to join. Need 3 more!

1 ReplyThey should get rid of the player to player collision and sparrow magnets and make a separate loot system for SRL

1 ReplyI would love more consistency with the gates. I have missed a gate entirely and received a speed boost and had over 3/4 or my sparrow in a gate and have not received a boost. Very annoying. I also wish i could understand the physics better. I consistently go flying when people run into me and i will lose races because they push me in a corner or push me away from the gate but i cannot seem to push other peoples sparrows out of the way. I will slam into them to try and get into a gate but they wont budge and then they take off after getting the boost. Roles reversed many times someone has hit me to get in a gate and i am pushed out of the way like i weigh nothing. Also very annoying. Hate to sound very negative because i think sparrow racing is crazy fun. It is the change of pace in destiny i needed. I dont need a lfg site or any friends online to just pick it up and go. Cant wait to see more tracks and possible modes. I would love to see a mode where we collected pickups and could shoot at each other. Add me on psn if you want to race some sparrows. ZombieSeaMonkey

2 RepliesEdited by DUDDZZ: 12/12/2015 12:17:42 AMThis game mode is a lot of fun and I've noticed that when I get a little bored with the grind I can pop in SRL and refresh my urge to shoot more aliens. I would like to +1 everything that OP has and add that I have noticed on hunters, [b]if you are wearing the racing scarf and have the default "no shader" shader equipped, the streamers disappear[/b]. I'd just add this to the "tons of weird GLITCHES" portion of the post.

4 RepliesI suggest in a tread to make a Sparrow Park like a Tower to practice tricks. Then make some races with a limit amount of time to make the most of tricks and the best of them. To be sure nobody continue doing tricks when others cross the finish line, the countdown will decrease the points of people who doesn't have finish yet. So this will be a Freestyle challenge. When you suggest the ghost, i can imagine a race in a dark place like the maze of crota's end where ghosts are lightning in front of your sparrow. That's clear that we need more races anyway.

1 ReplyBungie could add sparrows with weapons where the weapons only function in certain playlists.
-
4 RepliesHow about a destroyed nascar track
-
3 RepliesShoot and/or melee other riders. A separate "death race" as opposed to every one.
-
5 RepliesEdited by Mar: 12/10/2015 5:36:28 AMneed a map that is just basically the circular route on the moon's patrol map (through the 3 main zones: archers line, anchor of light, and hellmouth). i mean they have a near perfect track already set up for them, just need to add the gates. oh and also custom sparrows need to happen, though i think they never will. or maybe sparrow shaders or something, idk. besides those 2 things (and more maps in general) the only thing i can see that needs to be fixed is the glitches and small issues on the tracks. IE- randomly loosing control, spinning for 5 hours before finally crashing, launching randomly into the air off a single pixel, coming to a near dead stop after landing a few of the jumps from ramps on the maps, etc.

1 ReplyA race in the plane boneyard (where all the broken or expired planes go) of earth
-
3 RepliesThey need to have more maps and maybe weapon pickups for sparrows to make it more competitve
-
1 ReplyMake it no - contact so that people with Walmart internet can't magically teleport to you and push you off the track

1 ReplyA loss of power for those who are wrestling

3 RepliesEdited by lnnocent PeopIe: 12/10/2015 1:32:47 PMEverything you said, plus: Remove the high-powered magnets from our sparrows that make it nearly impossible to turn when somebody is touching you. A reward/loot system that actually cares what place you come in (I've been waiting at the finish to come in sixth because I feel 5th and 6th get better rewards). I don't know if the other classes do the same, but make the Circuit Runner armor for the warlock be effected by shaders. No more fatal impact damage because of the long jump on the Venus map. Make the enemies an actual threat. Make it to where landing slightly wrong doesn't stop you completely. Make falling off the map not make you lose the race. A book that does not cost 1000 silver, 500 silver would have been fine. The ability to choose any SRL sparrow when you reach S-class so that you don't have to spend 25+ dollars to get the one you want. Make the end of the actual shortcuts have a speed gate so that you aren't penalized so hard for missing a speed gate you could not have gotten. Eventually introduce ship racing so that we can actually use our ships for something other than loading screens. That's all I got. A good bit of them are problem fixes. Oh, I almost forgot! Make the fans on the Mars map not be able to magically move into the middle of your sparrow, where they then pick you up and spin you around in circles until you get off your sparrow and die. I was highly upset by that last one.

1 ReplyFor a map they should add a race that starts in the Vault of Glass and have a portal to the Crota's end raid at the area where you kill atheon. Once you reach the area where you kill Crota you get teleported to the king's fall raid until you drive through oryx's corpse and land at the finish line.

3 RepliesHave a map on Mercury called Highway to Hell

5 RepliesI want custom sparrows. Mine would be the new sleek design in shiny jet black with iridescent red streaks.... sounds like me.
-
1 ReplyAs an idea for a race track, how about climbing the Devils spire or some kind of tall tower and taking a leap of faith just to land on top of a fallen skiff. Or an arena mode where you have one life and the goal is to destroy the other sparrows.
