Possible solution for exotic resets?

Yes, I would find this an acceptable balance.

Okay so a lot of people are upset about the exotic reset path. And even [b]more [/b]are upset about losing the perks from the weapons on [b]top [/b]of that. I'm hearing lots of arguments from both sides, many of which make at least some sense. While some of them do make sense (and I'm not going to argue every individual point) this feels too extreme. I have an idea that I think would make for a good compromise between Bungie's needs, existing player's needs, and the needs of new players. Here's how it would work. If I have an exotic with the titular perk unlocked (does [b]NOT [/b]need to be maxed, merely have it's named perk upgraded) And I take it to Xur and have him upgrade it to the Icebreaker 2 The Icebreaker/Pocket Infinity/Invective/etc perk is MOVED to the left end of the perk tree as a perma perk (like Fan Fire on TLW) and does not need to be unlocked/upgraded on my new gun as it is always active What this does is make it feel more like I'm building on my existing exotic and less like I'm totally resetting it. So I upgrade Icebreaker with the Icebreaker perk unlocked and now what I have is the v2. It starts at the 300 base damage so I feel like I've upgraded and made my previous work permanent, I then always keep the Icebreaker Perk but would then need to unlock damage upgrades and such from there. This lets us feel like we get to keep [b]some [/b]of our work, like we're upgrading Icebreaker 2, not re-leveling the same one. New players aren't left too far behind, as they start with the new base damage but would still need to upgrade to that perk to get it. It also means we aren't all instantly OP or badly under-leveled for the new content. What do you think, would getting to keep the important perk make the reset feel more like a newgame+ rather than having your kid cousin erase your save? If you like it vote, spread it around

  • Honestly I think the best way would have been to leave the current exotics upgrades the same and just add more levelup tree to it using the new shards. Boom, fixed and everyone would be happy.
