Why do Blue Rarity weapons look better than Legendaries?
There's a strange trend in Destiny where the blue rare weapons continuously look better than the Legendaries. This has never been more apparent than after the Dark Below update. A few notable examples before the patch being the "Deep Fix", "Eclypse VMX2", "Problem 78F" auto rifles, "Echo 33" Pulse Rifle .... "A Little Voice" and "Sir Isaac" Handcannons, "Prism Schism" Fusion Rifle, etc. etc.
After the update, there's even more badass Rare weapons. "ALR96-40 Overkill" and its cousins, all with that badass red paint-job... hell, the "Stalker BNGL" scout rifle is jet black with a f***ing [b]white tiger[/b] decal across the sides. It looks amazing.
But all of the Legendaries this time around (barring the Hive-infused raid weapons) look like total shit. It's like whoever was in charge of putting the color palettes together was sitting around and just let their 9-year-old kid decide what was cool.
I would imagine the exchange went something like:
[b]Project Lead:[/b] "Hey, Billy, what should I color all of these Crucible weapons?"
[b]Billy:[/b] "SPIDERMAN!!!!!!"
[b]Project Lead:[/b] "Eh, alright...hey, what about these Vanguard weapons?"
[b]Billy: [/b]"ICE CREAAAM!!!!"
[b]Project Lead:[/b] "Ice cream isn't a color. What kind of ice cream?"
[b]Billy:[/b] "SHERBEEEERT!!!!"
[b]Project Lead:[/b] "Okay, orange sherbert it is..."

The real idea here is a transmog system or at least a system where you can upgrade anything to any level if you put the time into it

Edited by Solus06: 12/26/2014 1:42:08 AMI agree. Blues become obsolete so quickly, but they are some of the best looking gear. You have my bump.
-
I know, there rare but they look so AWESOME!
-
Echo 33 is my favorite gun ever. Rip echo squadron... I will remember u always... So sad we cant upgrade it to its deserved legendary state. Op is right, most blues have subtle, unique looks, which the legendaries are devoid of for some inexplicable reason. Bungie fails again.

5 RepliesIncorrect. The common weapons look better than ALL weapons. I.e. Husk of The Pit.

1 ReplyAll of the Crota armor looks horrid in my opinion, except the Hunter on a female. That's it. Warlock looks absolutely horrible in my opinion, however, other people like it.
-
It is a known fact that the better the gear the uglier it is..... Look at Achylophage symbiote or ALL THE CROTA GEAR......highest light level looks like crap!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!
-
Lol - some of them look and perform better!

so, ive been talking about this for a while I have a page ill try and bump here in a minute. but seriously I looked up stalker bngl and wtf.... what a slap in the -blam!-ing face. these guys are rediculous.
-
Omg that [b]Stalker BNGL[/b] tho! I will NEVER get rid of this rare scout rifle! Seriously the BEST looking gun in Destiny to date!
-
Well, the new blues max attack is like 294 from the top of my head so basicly they should match or old legendary's. Im still using my old legendary's alot since i dont like the perks of the new vanguard weapons. So on paper, i could use the blues until i find the new ones i like.
-
Same with the armor. Tired of running around as a pseudo hive or vex. The vanguard armor also looks ugly for the most time. Rare guns and armor have the best designs IMO.
-
With Xur's upgradable rare-> legendary sparrows it really feels like upgrading between rarities was supposed to be in the game.
-
I like names of them too like lump distribution or my painted big chief. Some of the armor looks good too. I had a helmet and chest piece I really liked the way they looked but aren't practical to wear.
-
SALKER BNGL is a bad@ss design
-
3 RepliesYeah I have the Stalker BNGL and it is basically a scout with explosive rounds. Spreads shields and is great fun in almost everything. Haven't bought any new weapons as I just don't like them - not enough good perks. Where are the explosive rounds or precision kill explosion perks? On the blue guns - that's where :)
-
6 RepliesI would kill fora legendary version of the stalker BNGL. My favorite looking weapon on this game by far. No competition.
-
Because everything looks better on Blu-Ray!
-
1 ReplyBUUUUUUMP! What you say is true not only of the weapons but all the armors too!! Why is there no upgrade to legendary path for all items thru the tower vendors exactly the same way that xur upgrades exotics is beyond me??!! For a game that is most often criticized for lack of content, sure seems idiotic to not implement ASAP!!!
-
1 ReplyMarketing. We all look awesome and individual at begging to hook us, then they rip it away.
-
That's ur opinion others may like the designs the design team obviously did otherwise it wouldn't be in the game u WANA make weapons better become a game designer
-
2 RepliesAnd then... there's the Vanquisher VIII

2 RepliesThere's probably more rares than there are legendaries. More diversity.
