1 ReplyI'll miss it, hope it returns. Thanks to it my hunter hit 310. I really enjoyed the racing. If it stays you have a game with a little bit of everything. Adventure, fps, and now racing. If only we had dog fighting with the ships. Then it would be complete.

Edited by The Chosen : 12/29/2015 4:46:50 PMA great success! I got up to rank 4 and the mid of the second week and most of the rewards were 318 and above :) I got 2 320 class items and a bunch of 319-320 helms! The 2 maps were a bit repetitive after the 75ish races, but I managed to get in 1st-2nd 95% of the races. The mechanics were fine but the whole bumping thing was a bit confusing... I'd get launched out of a gate by someone but whenever I tried to bump someone else, they wouldn't budge.... Also in the matches I raced with a fireteam, we found out that you can actually hit people without actually hitting them.... I know that sounds weird but the positions of both your and your friends sparrow were a bit different per screen..(Example- On the beginning few combination gates on Venus, I have been just going through the gates without ever touching someone else but then they will start "Screaming" and laughing because I made them fly out of the gates)... And vise versa for myself

It needs more tracks in its return, and not just two more additions. A physics tweak would be nice. So a simple bump can't send you a mile into infinity.
-
Thanks for sparrow racing, but what's the point of taking it away? You don't need to decorate the tower and base everything in the tower over it! You should just have it in the game as a side activity that can still drop legendaries at a lower rate.
-
like all things Destiny, good times if you can tolerate the bugs (and only 2 tracks) along with it
-
Bring it back soon. And when you do, add some sort of best trick competition to it. Score based on height, speed, flips, rotation, style, etc.

14 RepliesReally disliked the fact that they put the hardest high light gear to find (helmets and class marks) in some prototype of a gamemode to force people to try and grind out something that had a good chance they wouldn't lile, but when I go flawless in trials(which I personally believe is harder than finishing a race), I only get 1 primary with NO chance at armor it seems. Fantastic.

7 RepliesWaste of fkn time... 316 is the best helmet. The rest were 311-312 90% of the time but others that barely played get 315+ every time they get a helmet drop. And the BS bumping so easily but can't move sh*t when I do. Broken add on... and a weak one.
-
Sparrow racing screwed me big time. I spent hours and hours upon hours grinding that thing for a 320 class item... best I got was 319... Usually most people wouldn't be to upset about this, but I am because the rest of my gear is 320.... So I'm stuck at 319, because one piece of fukking gear is 319
-
2 RepliesThanx for the 5 320 helmets and 2 320 marks. And I only raced when I log in and before I would log out.
-
I liked SRL, even though I'm not a big racing fan. It was a fun break from the usual. I'm looking forward for its return, hopefully with more tracks
-
Loved it and hated it at the same time, loved the gear and the racing part but 9 times out 10 I would pass the finish line in 1st place and then 5 seconds later someone else would pass the finish line and I would get bumped down to second and then 3rd and so on. I rage quit a few times because I wasn't getting the right results so I was just doing bountys that needed you to do tricks and kill enemy's. It was so frustrating but so addictive. It just needs the bugs fixed.
-
Too much work to keep neat things like This for us???? Figures.
-
done nightfall and got whatt??? 297 wtf

1 ReplyThanks Bungee for the racing. A nice and imaginative change of pace.

1 ReplyAmy final gifts I need to log into to get? I have been sick and therefore not playing, but I don't wanna miss anything.
-
8 RepliesAnyone else notice that you get bumped out of gates so easily but when you try to bump others they won't budge?
-
1 ReplyI started playing uh racing late but i did get a 320 class item and a few 300+ helmets thanks SRL got my guardians over 299 finally
-
SRL is awesome, hope to see as monthly event such as IB.
-
5 RepliesDo you think you guys could bring queens wrath back
-
Thanks Cozmo! I thoroughly enjoyed SRL! I hope it comes back with many more maps!
-
Took me awhile to figure out that Bungie obviously put in some secret programming that gives "back of the pack" racers more speed to keep the racing tight. Even took me longer to learn how to stay in third or fourth place and then still the win with the last two boost points. Overall I had a blast, but I really rather just have it where the fastest guy wins on skill alone.
-
It was a nice diversion, and the drops were great. Stocked plenty of high level helms and class items to infuse my new IB gear when I get it.
-
Thanks all. SRL was fun and the drops were good. I personally think the book was overpriced and I didn't buy it. The whole concept of the book didn't make sense to me. Stats should be tracked regardless. Micro transactions should be a bit more micro. Other than that, I loved the tracks and learning their quirks. The drops made the grind rewarding. I was able to get my alts to crack 300 cos of it. Overall a very welcome addition and I hope to see it back on a semi regular basis. Maybe not as regular as IB but at least a couple times a year wiuld be sweet. Thanks!
