Destiny Players Getting "Legendary" Gift This Week, Bungie Says

"A small, but Legendary token of gratitude is being prepped for delivery later this week," Bungie says.

No Caption Provided

The holiday season may be over, but Bungie isn't finished giving out gifts just yet.

The developer has spoken out to say it is preparing a special gift for Destiny players, which will be delivered in-game sometime later this week. The developer made the tease on Twitter, labeling the surprise as something "small," but also "Legendary."

What could it be? Bungie isn't saying, but some fans are speculating on Reddit (via IGN) that the gift could take the form of a new Sparrow vehicle or a new Ghost Shell.

Thankfully, we won't have to wait much longer to find out, as the item--a late Christmas gift of sorts--should be available for players later this week.

What do you think/hope the Destiny item might be? Let us know in the comments below!

<< LINK REMOVED >> How do you even know that? The most you ever see in the game are about six people in the tower and a handful in patrol.

<< LINK REMOVED >> he knows because he is playing it, not just sitting in front of monitor saying something driven by hate.

Fun fact:

Tower has max 16 players at a time. And there are plenty of "Towers". What's the point of having many people in the Tower when all you want to do is decrypt, get bounties?

Man, use your brain before speak.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Well yeah but "full" is literally like six people. I mean if it was WoW and the tower had a couple of hundred people in there at the same time I'd agree but you can't tell if the servers are full just from standing in the tower.

You do realize that full is 16 and there are hundreds of towers. Quit hating and move on. Anyone who plays this game can tell you that there are a ton of new people flooding in. You don't like it. Some do. Let it go.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yes but why does that mean they are all full? It is possible the game fills each tower before filling empty ones so everyone has a good number in each.

It still gives you no information about how many people are in the game in total.

<< LINK REMOVED >> But the truth is you have no idea how many towers. Unless you want to offer up a source. That is the point most people here are trying to make it. Its not being hateful. Just factual.

Your opinion is no more factual than mine. The TRUTH is you have a predilection for being a cynic. Spend your energy on something productive rather than seeking to validate your own distaste for this game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> How about this twist, you're both right? Yes a bunch of people left this game(for CoD or other games they felt is better) and yes a bunch of noobs just joined(which is why many are online trying to get their stats boosted by xmas noobs.

Yes there are probably hundreds of towers, many of them wishing more users would join but limited to 16, which limits the potential of finding a raid group something terrible. I would like to see a tower(lobby) like PSO, with hundreds running around taking care of business.


I do wonder however, why is it that the tower is the smallest map, yet takes the longest to load, why is that?

<< LINK REMOVED >> I can spend my energy any way I feel. You are assuming I'm hating on the game. When if you had read most posts to other people you would know I play the game on a regular basis. What I do get tired of is childish fanboys making statements as if they are facts. The facts are Bungie has not released any player counts since October so to make a statement about player counts is complete opinion.

Childish fanboy? Ok there, Chester. While you're waiting for the game to fail I'll just enjoy playing it. Good luck filling your time with cynicism and angst. Sounds like a great life.

They never actually said how many people were online on a regular basis at this moment in time. My guess is less than 8.5 million.

Not just them standing around in the tower and presuming they must be full because they can see another person.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Well yeah but my point was there are not enough people in the tower at any one time to make a judgement about how many people are in the game in total. The people above were saying that the servers are overflowing. I was merely wanting to know how they know that since it is impossible to know from in game.

A server doesn't only have 16 people on it.

I'd like...

1. commendations for ranks already achieved prior to it's installment.

2. Xur to be permanent, fair enough only allow him to trade at certain times but waiting a week for him because a mission is related is pants!

3. allow players to use Eris class items to boost rank with bounties and missions, it's a drag even getting to level 2.

4. at minimum allow players to change the paint job on sparrows and ships.

5. matchmaking for EVERYTHING.

6. give us the 3rd subclass already, I can see its slot!

How about you give us commendations for the vanguard & crucible ranks we already earned? In addition to the story that was cut out, stop blocking access to the levels that already exist on the disc, oh and maybe some content so that going from lvl 20-25 isn't totally dependent on the terrible RNG system.


Or how about a cryptarch that gives out more useable loot instead of the 13 motes of light I got the past 3 days.
