Anyone else think srl is garbage?

So when I saw that we were going to be getting sparrow racing I was actually genuinely excited, new sparrows, new game mode, a reason to be good at handling a sparrow so I don't look like an idiot for bragging about that... but now looking at it, I realise what garbage it is and how half assed it has been. There are very few new sparrows, there is no benefit to using them, they are not faster, a race can be lost because the ground decides to stop all your momentum, it is impossible to purposely ram someone and when you accidentally bump someone it can send them from first to last. In addition if you want any of the cool new sparrows you have to spend REAL cash on a CHANCE to get the one you want. When I take a step back and look at this I can't help but feel that this was an attempt by Activision to get more money out of us by making us buy four or five of these packs to try and get the sparrow we want, and the worst part is that these cooler looking sparrows give us no actual benefit in the races. When it comes down to it, this whole thing was a waste of my time, more and more I feel destiny and bungie are wasting my time and I am tired of it. I didn't spend my hard earned cash to be given five to eight extra missions, and five more levels I can go up. I didn't go through so many arguments convincing people that destiny was still a great game to have the company I am defending throw my words back in my face and spit on me. I am beyond tired of this treatment that we as customers are receiving, and I wish we could organise well enough to show our dissatisfaction but we are to busy arguing amongst ourselves. If I had my way about it, I'd like to see everyone who plays destiny skip out on buying the next DLC for a solid month and let bungie and Activision sweat it out for a bit to show them that we mean business and demand the game we were promised! Let me level up more than five times with each expansion, let me earn the things I want, give me more than two hours of story per expansion, and let me feel like I am actually being a bad ass, not just getting lucky in pvp/sparrow racing. Let me know what you are disappointed with in destiny, I want this thread to be purely for showing bungie that we want a good game, not something that feels like a back burner project. Give us something worth defending in when talking to our friends, don't turn this game into another garbage shooter to be tossed by the way side.

  • me i stopped playing after 4 races because when you're pushing people of tracks and away from gates to win that means something to me (that you're scrub)

      The event itself isn't bad, though it took over a year to bring in something that shoulda been in the game upon launch. It's what Bungie tacked onto the event that makes it awful: Micro- no, actual transactions. $10 for a record book that'll only last 3 weeks?! Pfftt that's half the price of one of the lacking DLCs sold by Bungie... I could use the $10 to buy other game DLCs that'd last me weeks to months. And then the actual micro transactions for RNG packages to get sparrows with different cosmetics, laaaammmmeeee. Although if I did want to spend some cash on this event, I'd buy a horn to make my rare duck horn into a legendary just for laughs. *quack* XD Always funny.

    • This event is cool, free, extra, rewards endgame gear 320... and we were asking for it since year 1... stop bitching. Helps me to release stress after raiding or crucibles. I would be happy to see more tracks comming.

    • I agree on getting the sparrows. They should drop via srl and be as rare as an exotic from the crucible before three of coins made it's way into the game. Probably a good thing that there is no extra perk to the new sparrows since that would make srl pay to win. Yes there are some flaws in the actual racing but this is something they just threw into the game. I'm sure over time they will smooth it out. It's a great opportunity to get 320 gear for anyone regardless if they actually spend money so I think it's a good thing.

    • I'm grinding it for a 320 Helm and Class item......starting to enjoy it, would prefer it to be a competitive racing game, instead its full of 5 year old playing bumper cars, but after seeing how everyone plays Crucible I guess I cant be surprised...game is full of them.

      • It's the first couple of weeks since it's been out. It's not going to be perfect, they're seeing if we like it and if majority do, than they'll evolve it or they'll scrap it if nobody likes it. Rewards system really needs looking into, badly though, it still is -blam!-in horrible.

          No but your stats r...those triumphs hahaha Edit. R u rly comparing ttk dlc woth how and tdb? It is widely accepted that destiny took a huge step forward with ttk. Also u can get new sparrows from tool kits by doing bounties and repping up...no need for silver...just another cry baby Muted

            After 2 races, One on each map, I realized that it wasn't worth investing any further time into. To say it is lacking would be an understatement.

          • Yup I think it's dumb. I play destiny to shoot stuff not race(of I wanted to race of play a good racing game like burnout). I was going to grind it out for the 320 helmets and class items but the going is so slow and I think it's boring that I don't see the point. I want to have fun getting good gear. Not grinding an activity I hate just for loot.

          • Okay. I have stated recently that all bungievision are doing, is introducing events that almost demand you spend silver in exchange for purely cosmetic, meaningless items. I'm not stating there should be a pay to win culture. What I am saying, is the silver people have been spending was supposed to introduce fun events, but these just feel like they've been added to bleed more money from a growing disengaged playerbase, which in turn, fund more of these events. Despite deej actually going on record, stating that microtransactions would never be a part of the destiny experience. Well. There we go. From the horse mouth, itself. What he actually meant by that statement was, everything I say os a complete lie, you cannot accept it on face value, and we at bungie cant trust you with the simple truth, which is we don't like you looking us in the eye when we (fiscally) -blam!- you But back to srl itself. This was promised as part of the original game back at e3 2014. Almost 18months later we get it. With 2 tracks. The lack of time creating more than 2 tracks had better been spent on other things you promised at e3 that year. Like gambling. Or trading. Or both Saturn and Jupiter being available.on disc from day one. Or. My most anticipated thing of all. Ship pvp. Enough with timegates, paywalls and so.much false advertising in surprised there isn't a law suit

          • I've enjoyed it but need more maps. You should also be able to use the new emotes at the end of the race, maybe on a podium
