EDIT AUGUST 1, 2014: This thread and this video were originally made during the Destiny First Look Alpha on PlayStation 4, and this is a feature that appeared in the Alpha. This feature was apparently removed for the Beta, as nobody (including me) reported receiving "loot mail" in the Beta. The original post from June 20, 2014 is below:
[spoiler]Here's a nifty feature you might have missed even if you played the Alpha. If you miss loot while you're out on a mission (maybe it rolled off a cliff where you couldn't reach it, or maybe you just never saw it), it gets mailed back to the Postmaster, and it's waiting for you the next time you visit the Tower!
Pretty cool, eh?[/spoiler]
-
So, did the postmaster mail you that info, since we missed it in alpha?
-
I encountered this a few times. Its a nice feature for those hectic fights when you are more focused on death dealing than treasure hunting :)
-
I didn't know that. That's a nice little feature. Thanks for sharing.
-
that's got to be one of the cleverest and most subtle strokes of brilliance I've found yet
-
I suspected that they were unclaimed loot, but I didn't realize that it was MY unclaimed loot. Thought it was sorta like the Animal Crossing Lost and Found...
-
Yeah someone in one of the streams I watched talked about this. It is definitely an awesome feature.
-
Sweet, then I won't have to try to get a gun or whatever if it falls through the floor.
-
While I already knew about this, it's one of the greatest features in any loot based game I've ever played.
-
That is the shit.
-
Nice find, I love this!
-
That is awesome.
-
After finding this out, I always looked in my mail. This is a feature that every game with a loot system should have, it's going to come handy a lot especially during crazy battles.
-
I actually did know about this. It's an excellent feature.
-
I played the alpha and didn't know this too I found out on the forums while I was playing. I really like this because I missed so many engrams and other weapons and armour. It's nice to know I just don't lose them.
-
indeed. only happened to me once though. I was wowed.

Edited by o______________o: 6/21/2014 1:15:46 AMSweet! Hey foman, you should add me if your friends list isn't full. You know who I am. You should be able to find me on the psn. X3 (if you don't know who I am, here is a hint: I once fed some baking soda to some piglets. Shenanigans ensued.)
-
What!!?? That's just brilliant!!
-
Damn right it's cool! Saved me from losing a rare Titan Helmet too.
-
Kinda reminds me of what they do in WoW when a items is lost in the "Twisting Nether".
-
That's actually really cool. I've had a few pieces of gear show up and thought it was simply a reward for continuing to play!
-
Some one on here told me about this during the Alpha. It's a pretty awesome feature
-
in destiny the loot finds you, what kind of space magic voodoo is this
-
its only for Engrams though, right?
-
Hmm... This raises one question. Who is sending it? Quick, check all your stuff for Fallen listening devises!
-
It's a nice feature but why even bother picking up anything if it just gets nailed to u???
-
Very cool. Hodor.
