There. I said it.
For the last few times December has passed by, all we ever get is Strange Coins from some unknown benefactor.
Well I say to hell with that!
We've got Valentines Day and Halloween.
Why not do an event for [i]one of the most celebrated holidays there is[/i].
-Snowing in the Tower
-Shaxx with a Santa Hat
-Rahool as the Grinch
-And more "[i]CHRISTMASY[/i]" events
Whether or not people don't want this for "controversial" reasons, I don't care about that.
This is gonna have to happen someday.
We call it "Winter's Fair" and it's based around the Fallen House of Winter and Variks in the Reef.
-Ever since Draksis was killed, the House of Winter has been looking for a new Kell to replace him.
-Nikoliksis, Winter Claw, now seeks to claim Draksis's throne for himself by using the "Scarlet Septum"; a Vex-made power source from the future, to rebuild the House of Winter from the ground-up.
-Return to Venus and hunt down Nikoliksis before he gains enough power all over the Ishtar Sink.
[spoiler]Edit2: I keep hearing this "Christmas is a Christian holiday" crap.
Well here's a little know fact for ya that I'm gonna quote from a certain friend on here:
[quote]it was previously the Pagan festival of Yule, before the Christians stole it and re-marketed it as Christmas to fit their Dogma, so it had been a time of celebration for centuries before anyone had ever heard of 'Christ'[/quote]
[b][i][u]CHRISTMAS WAS NOT ORIGINALLY A CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY.[/u][/i][/b][/spoiler]
Edit: well I'm glad to see this is getting some positive results! Let's keep this thread bumping! Keep the good vibes going!
BTW no offense to anybody out there, we're not trying to persecute (at least im not) you guys or anything. We just want a winter holiday event without any complaints is all. :)
So I guess we [i]can[/i] call it "Winter's Fair" then! :D
[b]Edit3: okay...um remember when I said "keep the good vibes going"? I'm seeing less of that now. Enough with the arguments and Christian implications, let's all just agree to have a Winter holiday event. Let it snow![/b]
Edit4: I see some people like the thought of Rahool as the Grinch, so I composed a short little song together for that ;)
[spoiler]You're a mean one, Mr. Rahool.
You really are deprived.
You're as cuddly as a Cabal,
You're as charming as the Hive.
Mr. Rahool.
You're a Legendary Engram
That gives us a green helmet.
You're a monster, Mr. Rahool.
Your heart's a deep black hole.
Your brain is full of salt,
You better give me MIDA Multi-Tool!
Mr. Rahool.
I wouldn't touch you, with Variks'
weird claw-looking pole.[/spoiler]

Bearbeitet von Pyronic: 8/26/2016 12:23:05 AMThey kind of do have a winter event with SRL, but they should definitely do a better job of showing that its winter instead of just SRL banners everywhere. The trees need Christmas lights for one. Edit: Remember they said they are planning on going more in depth with the live events. I know that's not much of a leg to stand to some of you, but we just gotta hope that Bungie pulls through. I mean, beside b****, thats all we can do.

8 AntwortenBearbeitet von lYlasterBlazor1: 8/25/2016 8:02:33 PMValentine's and Halloween are not really super religious holidays. Christmas is. It's says Christ right in its name. More than half the world doesn't even believe in Christ why would they want to see a destiny event that was about Christ? I'm not trying g to belittle your lost but I thought that was something obvious. Most companies stay out of religious stuff. It's bad for business.

I like this idea
-
They only need to change it to "Happy Holidays" and its all good. Presents for everyone.

1 AntwortenMaybe Cayde singing christmas songs on the intercom?

That song is amazing, when will it go live on iTunes... I won't be Christmas this year without it.

I was wrongfully banned for " marketplace theft " because of refunds apparently. So I won't be able to play Rise of iron unless you guys can help a guardian out. But I checked and my account only has 3 refunds and 2 preorder cancellations in the last year. The refunds content licenses were revoked and I even rebought 2 of them later. I read up the preorder faq and it says that you can cancel preorders at any time. I'm pretty sure that the preorder cancels was what got me banned but it even banned my xbox and I don't know where else to turn to since xbox support can't work suspensions. I don't get how it would qualify as theft if the content licenses are revoked but I would be very grateful if someone could help me regain my account and console. https://m.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/4zi18r/please_help_wrongfully_banned_and_i_dont_know/ . I made a reddit post here so if you guys could help a fellow guardian out and upvote it. So it can get noticed by someone who can do something about my ban I would appreciate it. Here is to hoping I can make it to the plaguelands.

Bearbeitet von Meridia: 8/25/2016 10:38:02 PMDoes anyone miss the good old days when not everything had to be politically correct? If you don't want to be offensive, you might as well just be quiet and sit in a corner. That's the only way people won't complain. Summary: [spoiler]I'm tired of butt hurt people who think everything has to be politically correct[/spoiler] Grabs popcorn

5 AntwortenSparrow Racing was last year's Christmas event. Maybe incorporate Amanda's "Holiday" event?
-
4 AntwortenYes yes yes!!! That would be amazing. I honestly surprised with the amount of negativity I found in this post. It's a HOLIDAY! People! Eat, drink, be merry! Who cares if it's a Christian/pagan holiday? who cares if it's not political correct? Its the most damn magical and happy holiday in the world. Doesn't matter where the holiday originated from, the Christmas spirit is forgiveness, giving and love. Let it snow!!! P.s this is coming from an Uk based oriental who is a Buddhist that do not believe in God and his magician son whatsoever sooooo

Gift Wrapping Shaders!

No, Bungie should host all Crucible matches.... [spoiler]Haha, get it?! It's a dedicated server joke! Ha.....was kinda funny....nah, it was mediocre at best[/spoiler]

2 AntwortenYou know what they say. Can't have nice things with religion around.
-
So, do you guys just start crying or some shit if you even see a Christmas tree?
-
That song

2 AntwortenBah humbug. Everyone in the tower will tell me that I will shoot my eye out if I ask for a daisy red rider BB gun
-
I'd like to see this happen. I'm sure they could work around the "Christmas" part... Just call it something else.... problem solved. At the very least they could make it snow at the tower...❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄
-
13 AntwortenI think people get butthurt because it's called Christmas. The whole politically correct over sensitive crowd
-
It's called SRL...
-
I would like this too. Imagine getting some snow/Christmas themed like ghost shells? Or like shaders and more? That be a nice thing especially since the events we got so far in year 2 weren't exactly enough to keep us here. It was a drought of content. I say Bungie should definitely do a Christmas event!!
-
They won't do this cause people celebrate xmas in all sort of different ways...

Warning-Prepare for a small rant after my event suggestion. How about we just have a snowy tower with some lights, candles, ornaments and other holiday related items set throughout the tower and have an event all about the spirit of giving and generosity. There would be quests which would earn you rewards obviously. The Vanguard will give you Armor, Shaxx and his bit will give you weapons, Eris will give you a fruit cake because she's Eris and she's still mad about her ship, Amanda will give you a sparrow and ship, the cryptarch will give you a exotic engram, Eva Lavante will give you a shader and emblem, the Speaker will give you a ghost and class item, Factions will give random stuff in attempt to gain more followers as usual, the gunsmith will give you guns obviously and you will deliver bullets to the faces of your enemies. All crucible maps will also have snow on and ice on them because space magic. How does that sound for an event? Now for the rant... [spoiler] Reason I'm not saying any specific holidays is because people get triggered now adays because someone said "Happy *Insert Holiday name here*" and they don't celebrate it. It's ridiculous. An event like this in a game, while its community and society where people only want and complain wouldn't even work. Don't act like a special entitled snowflake because you do or don't celebrate a specific Holiday or because you feel the need that you deserve something over anyone else. This game could use a winter Holiday event, Christmas or not it would be nice, right? Tis the season to stop whining. [/spoiler]

1 AntwortenNot trying to knock on the post but I was under the impression SRL was our Holiday event (pun intended).

Bump. Yep.
