There's new gear in the trailer, though. The sleek racing suits and the like.

Some gear/sparrow only available on Eververse store. Saw that in the small text at the end of the trailer.
I'll help really just need HM Oryx (have the CP) but happy to start from the beginning, any idea what time ?

I'm assuming the racing suits are going to be cosmetic only.
Oof. I like the idea of Sparrow Racing, but was hoping for a little more out of the announcement. But I really hope SRL has no pay to win elements.
I will probably spend forty bucks on dumb Eververse Sparrow bullshit next week because I am weak and bad and weak.

Well we always knew that she would sell Sparrows at somepoint, due to Tess having idle voicovers that says something along the lines of 'these are some fast sparrows'. The gear will be interesting though.

Unless it turns out cosmetic only.

Catch me in the tower wearing the best racing suit that only costs 3000 silver:
^not fully NSFW, just a little sexy.
The entire idea behind this is to provide a more steady stream of stuff to do, rather than blocks that have long dry spells in between as we had over the past year. It's much better from a development standpoint - no more perpetual crunch - and for us as well, as new stuff will be hitting with much more regularity.
Racing only works if all the Sparrows are normalized to the same speed. They'll be skins, just like the FotL masks were cosmetic only.

where?
From the trailer all I could see was the bond on the racers elbow.
edit: oh you mean the opening scene? hmm..

How about a way to purchase ships and shaders with glimmer instead of RNG? Level 35+ with DO and still can't get The Nowhere. I play trials 3X and can't get one of those either. I'll take that over sparrows.
loool pathetic

Too bad I work so much now. v_v
I asked for this. Sorry guys.

Oh look more exclusive cotnent I won't be able to use a year from now.
So ideally why isn't their a live team as well as a team to work on an expsion pack for March or something. Why is the majority of the end game content and and families of gear (skolas, queen) still at year one standpoints.
Racing looks cool though.

The start of the trailer. plus when they say gear at 0:53 seconds it starts off with a shot of a Titan? and then shows the Warlock bond.
Oh right, that makes sense. I overreacted when reading that, haha.

Hm. The biggest thing about this for me is, that it confirms the theory floating around House of Wolves release that sparrow racing was going to be a thing originally(on phone so cant find the video).
Come on Bungie, give me Horde mode! And not the shitty version we got in HoW!

I mean, the ONLY way to make sparrow racing good is to have it be like mario kart
and that'll not happen

Wow only 3 weeks of sparrow racing?
Well that's dumb.
Paragon and Gearbox's shooter look fun. Ff7r looks great.
Such a great time to be a gamer. So much promising stuff.
Destiny on the other hand... Wish we would get any idea of their eta on any new content. New missions/raid type content. The fact that it's a limited time event sucks. I'm sure they will bring it back every so and so but yea.
I don't understand whole new IB gear when I couldn't even complete a set after 2 whole ibs

He's on the show floor I guess.
Valbaar we need you to report on this sparrow business!
I mean yay new thing but 3 week event? really? that's what this is? If this is how they are going to do everything I rather have just payed for new content. Challenge mode seems like a complete bust already and I'll play to try this but this just seems like there is going to be no real content until Destiny 2. I already don't really feel like playing the game as often anymore and this isn't helping.
The idea works if it's stuff people want to do. Putting a racing mode in a game about shooting aliens with shiny new guns and armor to get more shiny new things would be a good idea if it came out alongside another mode to shoot said aliens.
But who knows, maybe it'll be great. I don't mind it too much since I haven't even touched TTK raid and I've yet to get past 300 light or get myself a sword, but for other people who have exhausted TTK it must be really boring.

TBF everyone has wanted sparrow racing in Destiny since the alpha days...but why a 3 week event? It's december, many people will be out on holidays and miss it.
Except when that new stuff isn't worthwhile and does nothing to address the current problems with the end-game.
Limited time events that feature microtransactions along with time-gated exotics are not what I had in mind for Y2 content.
This is even worse than the overpriced dlc we got in Y1 to me. Agree to disagree I guess.
Yup. I'm out for a week next Saturday.
