Have to agree with the OP
How is it an 'exotic' when every Tom, Dick and Harry has it??
Imagine the Mona Lisa..... if every household had one then it wouldn't be rare/valuable at all and wouldn't be considered a [b]'rare'[/b] piece (exchange rare for exotic)
For these pieces of armour to be considered exotic and feel exotic it needs to be hard to come by..... regardless of people's play time..... that may even give those with little time more reason to play Destiny as I'm sure they finished it in about 8hours anyway.

You don't know what exotic means if you think it has to do with rarity.

Edited by THeN9nEefFeCT: 11/9/2014 2:42:30 AMThat argument is invalid. Frankly I'm tired of hearing this sad excuse of a point. It's a video game. Fake. Many different words are used in story and plot that have nothing to do with the actual real world meaning or definition of any certain thing. They could of named exotics chickens or whatever they wanted to. Their purpose would still be that of a higher tier item.

If it has nothing to do with rarity, why is it harder to come across than legendary. Eliminate Xur and it becomes [b]a lot[/b] more difficult.... with that in mind does that not make it more 'rare' thus making it to do with rarity?!

Edited by Godin: 11/9/2014 3:34:15 AMYes, it actually does. The perks that they get that only comes on the weapons? Those are exotic perks. That (and their unique look) is what makes them exotic. Without those things, they really shouldn't be exotic weapons (especially seeing as legendaries beat exotics most of the time). As for they becoming a lot more difficult to get? No. RNG isn't difficult, it's random. There's no diffuculty on getting something through RNG, it just has to do with getting lucky. If there was an actual, solid, surefire way of getting exotics other than win the lottery, and it was as hard, or harder than a Nightfall or the Raid, then okay, you're right. But no, that doesn't exist. At all.

Ok... I'm scratching my head on how your finding this difficult to understand. Regardless of RNG, regardless of the 'perks' on the gun, regardless of the look of the items....a question for all who read this! How many blue engrams do you find.... how many purple engrams do you find then last but not least [b]how many orange engrams have you found[/b]??...exactly! As I was saying, exotics are rare if you eliminate Xur and their place above Legendary makes then harder to attain.... making exotics..... rare!
-
No, it doesn't actually. It is possible that you could only ever find orange engrams (after lvl 20) because it's based on RNG. Again, there's nothing hard about RNG, it's simply random. If there was a legit, solid, surefire way way to get exotics, I would agree with you. Sadly, it doesn't. So really, the question is why don't [b][i]you[/i][/b] get that?
-
But you don't only ever find orange engrams. You mainly find blue, then purple and if myths are true.... oranges. And why is it in that order.... simple.... rarity!!!!!!! Whilst there is RNG there's also a system in place that makes it [b]rarer[/b] to attain higher up in the ladder engrams.... making the higher up engrams...[b][i]rarer[/i][/b] You telling me that you still fail to see what millions of others clearly see everyday!!!!!
-
My statements has nothing to do with me, or you, or anyone else; it has to do with the game, from an objective pov. And if you want to say that, I know of a friend that has found more oranges than purples, so no, that is false. There is a higher chance, but that's all it is; a chance. You know you're wrong, and you know this shit is broken as all hell. Why are you arguing against it?
-
He's not. The point is your chance* of finding a an exotic is allot less than that of a legendary. Making the point that exotics are allot rarer than that of a legendary. Removing xur would solve this but that will most likely not happen until the next game. It's their first new IP. They made allot of mistakes. That's why I think they're already making a new one. BTW check out the new news update. They mention making exotics stand out more in damage and interest. But not doing anything to legendaries.. I think they are clear about the Idea of what an exotic really is.
-
1: No, my point is not that, and I will not have you twist my words. I even said that I know of examples that shows otherwise.. DO you problems at reading things? 2: Both of those would fix jack shit with this system. 3: They announced this a long time ago that they were making 4 titles in the series. -blam!-ing up the first time with a shit ton of past experiences for such a large team isn't a excuse really. They made poor rookie ass moves, and they know it, and they are still making them. 4: Yes, a strong unique weapon used for endgame content (note that they said POWER, nothing to do with a overall exotic impact buff). That still has shit all to do with rarity.

I've asked questions, not insulted you. Why are you avoiding my questions, and my so very clear statements?
