Think about it. Your gear would actually have a story finally. Yeah theres still grind, but you take the weapon on a journey, not just a bounty or something.
Id love to see more exotics start this way. You find it as a shitty white common(looking at you khostov), but its got something the others dont, potential.
For example. If someone asks you how you got nechrochasm (no one has yet, still waiting for hard mode) youll at minimum have a story about beating crota on hard.
I wanna see more of that.
Edit: this wouldnt be for all exotics. Just some. It would really add depth and immersion.
For example:
Plan C, no story really needed. So it would just be a rng exotic.
Conversely:
Gjallahorn, i would love to have some kind of quest tied to this weapon.
-
Not all of them. But they could add in more each expansion that'd be cool.
-
[quote]looking at you khostov[/quote] lol and yeah it would be nice if exotics were a little difficult to attain where you go on a journey to receive one.
-
What would be the point of exotic bounties... Also more people would be crying about not getting "x" after farming for thousands of hours
-
I say we get one of these types of exotics with each raid.
-
Interesting idea, the only way I can see this being a viable option is if there was raid matchmaking
-
Awesome idea for raid matchmaking

Edited by possiblekillerx: 12/22/2014 1:04:09 PMI'm gonna make a comparison to a completely different game, but I like this idea. Ratchet and clank is a fantastic series in the shooter world. It's evolution of weaponry through leveling and modding is unmatched, in my opinion, when it comes to sheer creativity and unique transformation. If exotics started out very basic - upgrading with minerals, glimmer and other miscellaneous leveling items, gained a new advanced aesthetic once or even several times, allowing you to choose between different upgrade paths, (perks) I think that most or all players would at least enjoy the journey of creating something of their own personal refinement.
-
Everyone's story would be the same.
-
Hell no

In its grimoire it was gifted to those who survived the battle of twilight gap. Sooo maybe you have to wreck in the twilight gap crucible map or something along those lines.
-
I'm OK with this.
-
Eventually when we get 4 raids... what if there was a different weapon part that you could only get on hard mode on each raid (rng), only then could you assemble it and grind to level it up.. or it only gets xp from raids...
-
This could work for the best weapons! But for another release because they need to leave the stuff the way it is now... Imagine the mob of angry players when they find out that they have to do bounties in order to upgrade their weapon from common to exotic... A good story for Gjallarhorn would be that the weapon was broken into many pieces as guardians carried it through different Raids and collecting them would assemble the beast that is it.
-
Why not plan c? I mean... What happened to a and b? Lol
-
Thorn has already got a journey
-
What story would be added?
-
To be honest I think the exotic bountys have more story to it than the entire game does about the darkness and the traveler
-
The bounties are enough work don't you think?
-
That would be pretty cool, and it'd definitely be something they can do for future exotics, but I doubt we're going to see any current exotics changed to this method. Nice idea, either way.
-
I'm down for more but not all. Just started my Husk today!
-
Well you see I'm not getting the dark below anytime soon I'm kinda waiting for the house of wolves DLC to drop and further bring up the light cap because if I was 30 before expansion 1 and now everyone can get passed that to lvl 31 with vendor gear who's to say that they won't do it again with expansion 2? But if there was a vendor like Eris that didn't require a DLC....I'd be down for that
-
I like the idea...maybe some of them but not all
-
Yeah... No.
-
Totally agree..maybe u can get them out of a mission/strike... or for finishing the raid (waepon could be an old relict)...maybe those weapons should have higher damage or a 3rd perk or something like this...i also would like to earn the elemantar damage , so you can equip them with the damage u like/need
-
Oh yeah.. As I heard of the upgrades with finally resulting in necrochasm I was excited! The idea is nice but it has one drawback: with the dlc your existing exotics aren't that good anymore if xur doesnt offer an upgrade or you dont want to start it all over. Therefore I doubt that the effort in doimg such a series of quests for an exotic would pay off in the end. I would be even more pissed about the dlc 2 if its actually a double punch in my ba... face...
