Old story Round 2. This Exotic System is a punishment, a punishmet for all the people who've put so much time, effort, materials, glimmer in the game. I woke up, went to Xur to grab a Frappuccino and yeah I'll give you that Bungie, he had a nice list of upgradable exotics. BUT man.. what was the point of upgrading our Exotics? How do people with already maxed exotics benefit in any way? -Faster upgrading? [b]Nope[/b] (Kind of.. It's more of a poor excuse though) -Less Materials/Glimmer needed? [b]Nope[/b] -A slight stats bonus for people who took the time to max their old beloved Exotics before upgrading? [b]Nope[/b] In all honesty, I don't see any of it. But what I noticed is, that you guys couldn't even let us keep our former stats on Exotic Armor, or at least give it a guaranteed increase over the 1st gen Exotics. As example: My 1st gen Mask of the Third Man has a 116 Intellect , upgrading it decreased the max cap to 92 Intellect. I thought it would keep the higher stat of these two. Why is it even possible upgrading our exotics to have lower STR/DIS/INT stats, it should always be higher. ([i]Haven't checked all the armor, there might be some with a higher stat after upgrade, depending on your gear obviously[/i]). Just upgrade your Exotics weapons if you like, and wait for higher stat armor to be sold (if you don't really need it atm) or NF/L.Engram. Keep your shards and glimmer. Got so reck'd by you Bungie, again. Have 440hrs in on all 3 characters, almost all exotics maxed. I love this fkin game, and I don't even know why.. but this was a really bad move, you should have listened to the players. Now me and the other Day-1 players are sitting here stroking our old Gjallahorns, while people who just joined the game get bombared by new cheapxotics and legendaries. What's the point bruh? Lvling all the exotics again? Do we haz to do that for House of Wolves too? Tell me right now so I can go back play Hello Kitty. ☆~Thanks Bungie, thanks so much for respecting your 1stGen Guardians~☆
