Sparrow Rework

For three years there's only been one sparrow worth using, which is Always On Time. It's been long enough now that I'm tired of using it and would like to see either sparrow transmog or a way to upgrade sparrows. I'd like to hear other thoughts or ideas, but I know where I stand.

  • I would love to have Sparrows 2.0 as they could very easily function similar to ghost shells. You can easily give them four slots too: First slot gives engine upgrades, such as a base speed boost, extra dodges, passive (sparrow) energy regeneration while boosting, etc. Second slot gives hull upgrades, such as increased health, delayed self-destruction (think in D1 where your sparrow drove off before exploding), extra ramming damage, etc. Third Slot gives miscellaneous upgrades such as destabilizers, improved swaying, increased boost regen upon performing successful sparrow tricks, auto-reloading weapons, etc. Fourth Slot is the masterwork slot, which grants access to perks like stealth drive, turbo boosting, perimeter defense shockwave (think of an AoE blind effect), etc, There would also be a sparrow horn slot that appears like where the ghost projection slot appears on our ghosts.

      • Give us back sparrow horns.. Sure, it was sometimes annoying when some guy cruised around beep-beep-beeping.. But being able to blast out your own fav horn was fun. BTW: weren`t we able to change what sparrow exhaust looked like in D1????

      • I would argue the micro mini is also worth using since it's small size makes it super easy to get around well in tight spaces, and is a slightly smaller target for enemy fire.

        • I’d like to see them made of something better than rice paper. You just have to look at them with an angry face and the damn things catch on fire.

          I wouldn't be opposed to all Sparrows being made faster, but there's also no reason to use Always on Time. The only places where a Sparrow is used are the opening of DSC and the bomb run in GoA, both of which can easily be completed with any other Legendary or Exotic Sparrow; they can't design a section on the assumption that everyone is using AoT. It looks horrible IMO and has a dull boost. I'd rather use something I enjoy looking at than one that is faster but won't actually end up saving time over the course of an activity. My personal favourite is Vanishing Point, from Season 1. So old that it can't even do mid-air flips, but has the nicest boost of all.

          • AoT is cutting into their revenue and if people don't think something isn't going to happen to sparrows or at least AoT. The Easter bunny isn't real.

            It’s 100% cosmetic but I miss being able to mod sparrow engines. It made sparrows feel at least a little customized, which is sad because that’s literally the bare minimum and we were still happy with the scraps Bungie was giving us. I’d love to be able to mod a sparrow like we can our ghosts, with the perks we want and interesting cosmetic options.

            • Problem is Bungie will just simply nerf Always on time and say there ya go, screwing the ppl who still like to use it.

              • Always on time, but even when you are on time, you are not going anywhere. You are still on the same spot at the bottom of the hamster wheel. You think you are going anywhere because you are on your sparrow?… Ha! The hamster wheel is moving but you are exactly where you were 8 years ago. At the bottom! Keep running hamsters, I mean guardians. Hehe!🤣

                • Transmog would be cool, but I think bungie should buff all raid and dungeon sparrows to be on par with always on time and get the stealth running perk. It makes sense since most raid/dungeon sparrows require a master clear or a flawless clear.

                • Fun fact: Exotic sparrows have the same speed as legendary sparrows even when the speed number is higher. That means all exotic sparrows are broken and only proper working sparrow is Always On Time.

Because it's always equipped Because it's "Always On" See, it's funny because the name of the sparrow is "Always On" and it's "Always On" my character It's like the joke is the NAME of the sparrow is a description OF the sparrow That's what makes it funny Duuuh!🤦‍♂️"Always On" I feel stoopid now No, but seriously, yeah I'm just glad it looks cool

                  • There’s literally only one encounter in all of destiny where AoT is actually useful and that’s the bomb encounter in grasp. You’re not forced to use it stop crying about it and just use what you want.

                    • "jUsT uSe OtHeR sPaRrOwS" I don't want to go out of my way to handicap my self. Yes I know its a minor thing, it's just a sparrow. It's just boring having 1 thing be the absolute best in slot year after year.

                        Cool, I’d be okay with pulling that Sparrow to be in line with the rest. Should be an easy fix, too.

                      • I would like to see some cool sparrow gameplay sort of like in Halo when you are driving off the Pillar of Autumn before it explodes at the end. I’d much rather play that than the jump jump jump fall mechanic in most of these campaigns. There’s so much potential with the sparrows.

                      • Destiny is a game full of weapons and maybe during times that matter most you stick to meta. However do you never use any of the other weapons for fun or for something different? Until recently I would run all kinds of off meta weapons in pvp just to shake it up. At the end of the day your choosing to limit yourself because you seem to prioritize a slight speed advantage over all else. The conclusion this leads me to is this is actually a you problem. From what iv observed people struggle the most to accept simple solutions when they are the problem and can’t push blame. I hope your able to take a good hard look inside and learn a valuable lesson about striving for solutions on your end before pushing blame onto entities to large to care about you.

                        • Literally haven’t taken it off since I got it all those years ago…At this point I’d be glad if they needed it’s speed so I can use something else or just normalise the speed across the board
