Final edit:this post was originally about the "something better" that DeeJ tweeted/posted about for year one players. It appear that it is a new GHOST SHELL, SHADER, EMBLEM, and SPARROW.
Thank you all for your comments.
Awhile back, when the community was in an uproar over the price packages for the taken King, DeeJ tweeted or posted in the community update (the comment has since been removed) that year one players would receive "something better" than the emotes, etc.
This was in addition to the VIP year one package, because at the time the VIP package was already revealed. I would really like DeeJ to answer the question in regards to the something better. I would like to see this thread stay relevant until he answers the question.
I am also sending DeeJ a tweet everyday asking him this question. Let's not harass DeeJ though, okay.
I am NOT saying that year one players do or do not deserve anything special, so please, let's not turn it into an argument over that.
I am simply seeking an answer to what DeeJ put out there to calm the storm.
So DeeJ, is there still a "something better", or was that said just to calm the storm? If you can't say what it is just yet, can you al least acknowledge that it still exists, and maybe when it can be revealed?
Thank you.
Edit 1: Seems like the consensus is the moments of triumph emblem. I contend that this emblem was always a part of Bungie's plan (to keep people playing) and they are conveniently using it as the "something better".
Something better shouldn't have a bunch of requirements, in my opinion.
Edit 2: we are trending, let's keep it going and maybe we'll get a response. Thank you
Edit 3: Wow! This thread is really trending. Over 1,000 comments. I appreciate how most people are keeping the comments civiI. I appreciate everyone's input.
Edit 4: many people are suggesting the VIP rewards. Maybe it is, I thought they were announced before the "something better " statement. I may be wrong. Bungie has not said what they are doing for the people who bought the collectors editions. They did say information to come shortly. Whatever shortly means, I don't know.

5 RisposteI remember him also saying the VIP rewards for the $80 package would be available for those of us who preorder the $40 package for $20.....then silence....any word?
-
Maybe the doors to the throne room will open before the Taken King drops.
-
Something better was probably allowing us to keep our year 1 weapons despite not being able to upgrade them.
-
Deej or cozmo need to answer this.. Bump it up
-
2 Rispostedont forget he also said those that owned the orignal game and the expansions and bought the digital collectors edition would get some information soon as to what will happen... no news ever came.

6 RisposteIt's Armor Shader, a year 1 emblem and a sparrow.

He also said that the "something better" would be revealed at launch.
-
4 RisposteThere is a special quest line for veterans. Check it out on the year 2 teaser where it shows the quest log.
-
Maybe you should learn some patience? There are 3 Twitch reveals on the way. You sound like a 5 year old waiting for Santa. Go check under your parent's bed. Maybe Deej hid that surprise there?

6 RisposteThe something better is fallout 4.

1 RispondiLet's spam the twitch chat tomorrow about this topic during the TTK reveal.
-
Wasn't it the package from an unknown benefactor?
-
I don't care anymore, I cant bring myself to expect anything from them. I just don't care

1 RispondiIt said in yesterday's trailer that the tower and speaker have something as a token of gratitude for the Guardians who have aided the tower in year 1.
-
U have received EXPERIENCE while playing in year 1, something year 2 guardians don't have. Your welcome, guardians.

1 RispondiI've Asked banshee if he knew, he said ask eris, asked her, she said ask ikora, asked her she said ask zavala, asked him he said ask cayade, asked him he said ask the speaker, asked him he said ask the stranger, so I'm not going to look for her just to hear "I don't have time to explain why I don't have time o explain" so I'm in the same boat

1 RispondiYou have the opportunity to throw more money at the screen. ;P
-
5 RisposteDid it occur to you that the VIP rewards are a surprise for us? Perhaps we'll open the game up on 9/15 to something all sorts of cool. Maybe they aren't announcing it because they don't want to turn off incoming rooks.

I believe they never rewarded anyone for finding all of the coins in the Tower either. Remember when they said they would award whoever screenshot all of the little coins in the tower a unique emblem. I was going through that topic the other day, saw a bunch of people who posted, some people who may have found a loophole and included an extra two, and still I didn't see a winner announced or anything.
