Will this quest tell us why the Fallen, a bunch of aliens, know about wolves and use wolf idioms?

The thirst is real: a Destiny TTK quest is exclusive to Red Bull (Until Jan 1, 2016)

That's why you're gonna need the red bull.
If threads like these are anything to go by, this is just more clickbait bullshit

If I buy a can of Redbull just for the level code and pour the contents out onto the ground, what are the environmental implications? Would the land become uninhabitable? Or if I poured it down the drain, would that contaminate the entire city's well water?
I'm just thinking ahead and don't want to Chernobyl my neighborhood.

Live a little. Drink a Red Bull. It might not kill you.

Yes it is, It's way to early to say they have lost support of the biggest fans.
No it's not.

They've lost some of them with this carry on. So no.
How can you not have a problem with that?
They know what they are doing is wrong. They are telling you what they are doing is wrong. Yet people blindly defend it even when it comes from Bungies own mouth!
It's hilarious for all the wrong reasons! No wonder they get away with it.
Can you point me to a specific post then? All the screenshots seem to point to either 7-11 exclusivity or Walmart (another store I don't shop at lol).
Nah, I'd say Watch_Dogs is the poster boy for that.
- Over-homogenization of game mechanics (The Ubisoft Open World Formula)
- Insincere marketing
- Gruff, cold protagonist intended as a power fantasy for the player, but ends up being a completely unrelatable jackass
- Centering the game around an interesting theme and then doing absolutely nothing important with it
Destiny checks off 1/2 of those boxes (and I'm sure adds some of its own), though, so I guess they're about equal.
Remember when Destiny was still being shown in preview and we thought maybe that there would be ACTUAL space travel or travelling between planets? Then at launch we finally figured out that you could grind for shader skins for your ships! That only show up during load screens. After you select from a mini map. LOL what fools we were.
I dont think anyone is defending the Redbull DLC, most of the "defense" as you might called it, really don't care about it to be outraged by this.
Oh please, that article isnt telling us anything new, DESTINY'S problems have been well and truly documented in its entirety by even the most ardent of its fans within the community, this is just another free crack for the righteous-indignation crowd who seem to form an orderly queue to evangelise their hatred of the game at the slightest provocation and their relief that the cancer was sold on.

A bit gross. Luckily I don't like Destiny, but I hate Red Bull. Id rather just buy the DLC off the store Tha be forced into an actual store to buy a drink I hate.
Haven't you seen idiocracy?
The rest of the world is literally foreign to them.
Calm down. Sounds like you had one too many Red Bulls.

How can you be so out of touch to think this is a good idea?
Seems like Bungie were trying to hold off the disaster, but couldn't anymore. Now the floodgates are open.

This is nothing new. Exclusivity deals exist in all sorts of things. Did everyone just forget about years of 'Gamer Fuel'? Apparently, since it's warranted a 20 page debate.

Oh god what if we get Red Bull code scalping on Ebay for international people. That would be hilarious.

In my humble opinion, this is HOW it becomes rampant.

Lets not pretend that there won't be an exorbitant amount of extra codes flying around. People do actually enjoy drinking the stuff, after all.

I've played Destiny every day since the launch and there are things that I like & things that I absolutely hate. But this Red Bull promotion doesn't bother me in the slightest. Sorry! I could act all outraged and pretend that these types of promotions haven't been a part of gaming for the past decade, or I can continue to enjoy Destiny. I think that I'll continue to enjoy Destiny and opt for a Red Bull instead of my usual Monster when I come across the promotion. Guess that makes me part of the "problem" huh?

The quest will probably be about as worth while as that new moon bounty with the turret down in the strike chamber. Aka, incomplete and worthless. So idc.
If it is a worthwhile mission, then i'll just buy one can with the spare change in my cup holster and poor the piss down the drain to get the code. Whatever.
But I really doubt its gonna be a worth while quest. Even calling it a quest is probably silly.

Or y'know, people who care about the game and enjoy it, voicing their concerns about the whole situation and multiple errors that Bungie is making, ontop of which, their outright disdain for their community?
Nice selective quoting too.
Regardless the issue isn't just the missions, the thing that bugs me more, is the information that you omitted from your quote. For the avoidance of doubt I'll repost it below, just to be doubly sure that you don't miss it this time:

Well that's just silly. Why does the Millenium Falcon, from a time long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, name itself after one of Earth's birds of prey? Why are there even humans in that galaxy at all? And why do they speak English!?
Just because something's been done before doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
And I don't remember Gamer Fuel being linked to an exclusive quest in Halo or something like that.
Why do you assume falcons don't exist on other Star Wars planets as well?
Why not?
They don't. They speak Basic.

Exactly, I don't get why some are trying to act as if Dew and Doritos have granted access to anything more than just garbage XP boosters in the past.
This is the first instance I can think of where a game has locked an actual playable mission/quest/piece of the game/etc. behind a sponsored product.
Shit sucks.
We'll see if they really lost the support of their biggest fans once the DLCs are out. The headline is pointless until then.
Face it Tiger..

I hope Bungie learns a lot from their work with Activision & does a deal with Deep Silver or CDPR next time.
all these DLC issues are disgusting.
