I remember playing Runescape (sue me) back in the day, and they always had holiday events that would last for a certain amount of time. How would you feel about things such as santa hats, jack o lantern heads, scarves, even a decorated tower?
EDIT: thanks to Chocomcbo, he found source from a Q&A video where they talk about Holiday Events. skip to 1:34:00

I love when devs do stuff like this. Christmas on Minecraft servers is a blast. WoW had amazing holiday events year round for just about anything. Time-consuming but just about anyone could do it.
-
Well obvously. They should also have more than one event at a time in the quarters area. They don't have enough content either. They could have like a Halloween edition devil you know!!! THAT WOULD BE BÆ
-
although there are a lot of major issues ahead of it, it would help improve the social aspect and feel of the game
-
Jingle bells Jingle bells The cryptarch can't get laid He scams us all n sucks our balls We will beat him raw one day YAY
-
It's still earth, if there's no holidays in the future I hope the darkness envelops humanity.

Edited by Brondan Stifflson: 8/17/2014 6:57:29 AMTechnically they already had something like this to suggest these would happen in the future. Anyone remember the soccerball in the Tower in recognition of the World Cup?
-
Tell me cabal dressed like Santa or elf hive and reindeer devil walkers doesn't sound like the ultimate public event or Christmas break theme
-
It's just plain fun! I mean why not. Switch up the game for a bit and make things exciting by offering exclusives.
-
The game has bigger issues to worry about right now. Once they're sorted out, sure, I'd be in favor of some holiday events.
-
Yeah if Santa gave us new weapons and there was gear according to the spring along with shaders and stuff for summer and if it snowed in the tower
-
they should have exotic armor given for the season but its not super good it just looks season based.
-
yes - we should already have pumpkins in the tower and black and orange shaders - plus many other ideas
-
I think this is something already on their table. If nothing else, we might get different Ghost Shells to commemorate certain events. Of course that wont be all, but that might be a piece of the pie.
-
What if it was like SAO where we get a special public event/boss fight at a specific time? That would be amazing!!!!!!
-
lol at around 1:29:00 they mention how they don't like when company's sell you a game and you open it up and they immediately start talking about DLC Hahaha ironic

Edited by Kaysar-8: 10/15/2014 7:55:47 PMThat would be cool. The original PSO did (and still does if you play PSOBB on SCHTHACK). Having season related exclusive items would be a nice addition to the current system in Destiny. Want to spruce up your game without making a pointless event Bungie? Reskin some enemies and make a few events that allow you rack up point to purchase holiday exclusive items! Its a win-win for everyone (unless you do not celebrate holidays :-I but who cares? You could have a leet item regardless XD )
-
lol.... the Cryptarch would totally be santa... and he would decrypt our purple engrams into coal/green...
-
ooo how about some 19 billion glimmer party hats!? very good idea with halloween coming up soon
-
I remember them in WoW, I always thought they were super fun.
-
i think things should be too dire a situation to have silly celebrations. We need more variations on maps and such for nightfall strikes and then more areas in the strike playlist so we don't have to play the same damn map 4 times in a row cuz the odds of getting the same one out of only 5 is just stupid high and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize randomizing that small of a play list is ignorant. /rant

[u]Why I liked Runescape holiday events[/u]: -Personal feel -Festive gear was a nice way to keep moral up during the dark, depressing months of winter. Note: -I think incorporating other holiday's and not just North American holidays would be cool. It would give a nice personal feel to foreign gamers.
-
i say bring on the jack o lanterns, santa hats, but keep it multiculturally respectful maybe just do it for a week each
-
Just gimme some armor that makes me look like Santa, I'll be happy
-
Bungie did this with halo. I don't see why not with destiny.
-
No. Holiday events in games never stay around long enough.

Everybody gets a free exotic for Christmas [spoiler]if they've played Destiny since the first month[/spoiler]
