This ought to be addressed. The exclusive armor sets are only rare (blue) , and only drop from the strike playlist, which you'll be at least level 18 before you start playing. By the time you get all four pieces you've already started moving on to legendary gear. This makes the incredibly awesome looking exclusive armors completely and utterly worthless and pointless.
There are a few ways this can be addressed, any of them will work great:
1) A skin swapping system, like Diablo 3 has, where you can take the skin of any armor you've found and put it on any other armor.
2) An armor upgrading system. Similar to the engines sold by Xur that can turn a rare sparrow into a legendary sparrow, items that can upgrade rare armor into legendary armor, so you can keep the cool looking armor you like and make it worth wearing.
those are just two good ideas about how to fix the problem of our exclusive incentives being completely and utterly worthless.
-
I agree, and I love your ideas. I especially like the design swap idea. We could really fine tune our look then.
-
why would they give one system something that will make them have an advantage over others? there is nothing wrong with the exclusives we were given. it was not meant to be something of significance. it was meant as something extra.
-
I totally agree with you on the disappointment of Playstation's exclusive armor for Destiny being lame blue/rare armor. They should be upgraded to purple/legendary items.

[b]SKIN SWAPPING[/b]. There is no reason this isn't implemented immediately. /BUMP

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Xbox pays the same and doesn't get 30% of the game you get. I play both. Xbox is my main. So appreciate even having to at all. PSN doesn't work anymore for mine, so be glad its there for you.
-
I didn't even know there was PS exclusive armour until I saw this post I probably have gotten it all by now but I've deleted every last piece I would have gotten due to already having legendary/exotic armour
-
You really shouldn't complain considering all the Xbox users who complain about the exclusive content are immediately shamed to silence by the PS fan club drones.
-
I kind of thought the same about the vanguard armory. Gets really useless pretty early on.
-
I honestly thought they'd be legendary. I was very disappointed when I found out they're not.
-
Best video ever!
-
Good. Screw PS and the traitorous folk at Bungue.
-
When blue armor has more variety in texture than legendary armor, there's only 3 sets of legendary armor; the faction sets(all the same) vanguard/crucible sets (all the same except for Hunter helmets) and the raid gear
-
ps4 has exclusive armor 0_o? the more you know i guess. what is it called btw for all classes?
-
Sums up this game, makes no sense.

-
It looks -blam!-in' awesome! But why the hell isn't it like... Legendary??? I really don't understand...
-
I didn't even know there was exclusive armor. I'm used to games giving them to you at the beginning, are level 1, and only good for a few levels or so.
-
I think they need to be buff to legendary. Maybe sold by a vendor too.
-
The PS3 armour is the same bs!
-
It's this type of revelation that made me not worry about the PS kids getting "exclusive" stuff.
-
Yeah, that turned out to be a non-issue, despite all the flaming in the forum. As far as I know I have never seen a single piece of that gear.
-
Developers don't typically want exclusives to be game unbalancers. Most are cosmetic as a result.
-
It looks cool, but it is useless. I didn't even get any of the armor, until after I was decked out in legendary gear. No point in going back
-
I agree, worthless, are you surprised though? Look at what this game is, opposed to what they said it would be...

Edited by Cynabal: 10/21/2014 2:48:56 PMSorry but I'm glad it's worthless. shit like this should never be dictated by what console you choose! armor colour, sparrow's, ghosts is fine by me but weapons and armour -blam!- that right off.
