I came up with an idea to add into The Tower, and through my time in the forums I've seen I'm not the only one suggesting this.
People are asking for more entertainment factors in The Tower, duels, arenas, volleyball with the purple ball, etc. Today I present to you [b][i][u]Sparrow Racing[/u][/i][/b].
[b][i][u]Sparrow racing[/u][/i][/b] could have two different versions in [i]The Tower[/i], them being:
[b]1[/b]. The typical race in which the top 3 gain currency ([i]Glimmer[/i]). This one would be always available in The Tower.
[b]2[/b]. A gambling version of Sparrow Racing. Same as #1 where the top 3 win Glimmer, but spectators can place bets on the racers. This would be available several hours a day, everyday; or some other timely way (daily, weekly, etc).
And besides these two racing modes, Bungie could add a custom mode where players could build their own courses. There would also be a sort of board where people can see through a list of player-made custom courses and either download or "like" (the list would be assorted from most to least likes), and implement a search function.
In this custom mode players would edit everything in the race of their course, by that I mean possibly editing the Sparrow. Like length of boost, turn boost on/off, dodge on/off, dodge causing damage and how much, adding guns to the sparrow and their damage, allowing racers guns, allowing ADS if holding gun, invincible on/off.
The options are [u]limitless[/u]. Give the players the freedom to make their own defining course.
Please leave your thoughts in the comments and like the thread if you like the idea. [b][i][u]Show Bungie we want Sparrow Racing.[/u][/i][/b]

The Idea seems reasonable. Good job!
-
I like your ideas alot. they could just add it to free roam where there is a beacon to activate the match making of 6 then have check points to race to in the free roam and just give out glimmer for top 3.

I like the idea of [b][i][u]Sparrow Racing.[/u][/i][/b] [b][i][u]Sparrow Racing[/u][/i][/b] seems fun. I want [b][i][u]Sparrow Racing.[/u][/i][/b] Did I mention [b][i][u]Sparrow Racing?[/u][/i][/b]

The only issue I can think of would be rigging gambling races. Two people bet 5,000 glimmer on a race. The winning racer happens to be friends with the losing better, so he throws the race to help his friend win large amounts of glimmer.

Its nice to see some cool ideas and concepts (that are feasible) being thrown out on the forums, instead of just bitching, whining, or trolling. Thanks for the shared thoughts. I too recommended sparrow racing of a sort, but my thread dealt with ideas/speculation on the Vault of Glass and other future raids, and mentioned it would be cool during the raid if there was a 'survival' section where the six of you had to stick together and race through a tunnel or bridge as its collapsing. Anyway, is a long read but if you're bored feel free to check it out. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/67512671/0/0

When the alpha was happening, I was playing with two friends and we laughed at the idea of there being underground sparrow races. I think it would be great, but I'd love it even more for it to be just thrown together by players rather than an actual component of the game.
-
I think it's a good idea and well thought out op. I have a good idea to go along with it screens check my poll!
-
Although this isn't a new topic, since Sparrow racing has been in the forums for a while now, I do love your more descriptive ideas other than "omg sparrow racing would be so awesome, do it Bungie!"

Edited by Acer: 8/12/2014 5:19:33 AMThere's been lots of talk of a Sparrow Racing League on Destiny's subreddit. In fact, they recently made a subreddit for it and are trying to come up with ideas on how it should work. Feel free to put in your feedback! http://www.reddit.com/r/sparrowracingleague

Personally, i think that this isn't a very good idea, I'd never play it. I can see why some people want it, but im buying Destiny because it's a first person shooter. If i wanted a racing game i would re-buy Wipeout Fusion.
-
I like the idea, but the Custom tracks/races seems too far from Destiny's vision. Normal races, and even the gambling part would be cool. We have the Crucible, where Guardians test themselves against other Guardians for fame and profit. Sparrow races would be just like that. :)
-
you sir are a GENIOUS!
-
I like the idea except for the gambling part.
-
YES! every man loves gambling!
-
This is actually a great idea! The whole gambling thing might not work, but the rest sounds fantastic :)
-
Defiance had racing. Bungie could operate it something like that.
-
Hmmm...The Fast & Furious Destiny o.O?
-
Competitive dance offs. You listening Bungie?

Hmmm...The Fast & Furious Destiny o.O?

Destiny needs this[spoiler] Extreme emphasis on NEEDS[/spoiler] Also maybe gambling All good multi player games have it
-
The uncommon Sparrows had the ability to hold down the R1/Right bumper? Button in order to use the E-brake, in other words, drift. Destiny: Old Russia Drift. *plays that generic F&F:TD song*
-
Also they'd need to have it work much like the crucible in that making it a more level playing field. Higher level players are of course, able to buy faster sparrows which would lead to only the high level players winning. So, could fix that with maybe a level range? Only players level X-Y can enter this race just so everyone regardless of level has a decent shot at a win.
-
I like the idea of racing and betting but everyone building tracks and turning racing into a free for all shoot out? If the game would just start to become a "do whatever you want here" kind of thing and I don't think that is what bungie wants.
-
Sparrow racing and ship racing MUST happen.
-
Yeah and the races could also be in the city. Would be an awesome dlc if it were to happen
