Click Spoiler for Original Post:
[spoiler]As we all know, with the release of The Dark Below, all current exotics are upgradeable at Xur (depending on availability). For weapons, this increases the maximum attack from 300 to 331.
However, slightly before the DLC, Bungie buffed the Vex Mythloclast from 300 to 323. This has created confusion on whether or not the VM will be upgradeable to 331.
Personally, I would very much like to see a buff available to the Vex Mythoclast, like all other Exotics; as at the moment the weapon is below all other Exotic Weapons (Max ATK of 323 compared to 331 of all other Exotic Weapons). I do not feel that this particular Exotic should be sub-par; especially when considering the difficulty of obtaining it.
My question to you Guardians is what do you think should happen to the Vex Mythoclast's attack values? Attached to this post is a poll for you to vote.
PS: @Bungie @DeeJ - I, and many other Guardians, would like to see an official response on the upgradablility of the Vex Mythoclast
Thank you for reading and have a good day,
EDIT - Please BUMP this post so Bungie has a higher chance of seeing it. Hopefully they can give some sort of verdict.[/spoiler]
[b]MAJOR EDIT - It seems DeeJ has confirmed on Twitter that due to the VoG exclusivity of the Vex Mythoclast, it is not going to be available to upgrade. This news comes just a day after patch 1.1.0.3; which bumped the ATK of all other VoG exotics to 331 (Whilst the Vex Mythoclast has been confirmed to still be 323).
Looks like we lost this time, Guardians. The Vex Mythoclast will soon become a faded memory.
RIP. Vex Mythoclast 2014-2015.[/b]

Upgrading damage to/above 331 would be a good thing. Honestly my biggest issue is running out of ammo, clip is fine, but in pve should hold 400-500. Athens ep, Voc, etc all hold plenty, it should get a bigger amount of total ammo and I would use it again!
-
Hard to obtain? All you need is three people that know how to use the relic. The rest is RNG I for one stop going for this weapon as it lost its appeal along time ago.
-
I think everything about the mythoclast is a mistake. ...until I get one of course.

5 RepliesEdited by Mossy: 12/24/2014 10:43:50 PMGuess you don't understand attack. Just be aware the the Vex is not any less powerful than any other weapon in any of the current content. The Vex will start to lose power once the hard raid comes out. Edit: seems that a lot of the posters on this thread also do not understand attack. Making the Vex to 331 or 400 or even 600 will not make the Vex do any more damage to any enemies in all of the current content.
-
I think it should get 331 damage, but having said that. It is so powerful right now. Even on Level 32 enemies in Crota. Be interesting to see what it does to level 33 enemies in Hard mode.
-
8 RepliesVex still has unbelievable impact with its rate of fire. I habe NO other weapon that rocks like the vex. You can stop ervery enemie with IT even yellow lvl 30/31/32s AND the sword bearer in the RAID AT crota. Only ammo sucks
-
2 RepliesThe vex isn't a real weapon. Trust me. I've done the VOG hard mode three times a week since October. It's not real. It's never been real. It's never dropped for anyone. It is but a figment of my imagination.
-
3 RepliesMy vex has an attack of 331 got it out of the vault today!
-
15 RepliesAll other VoG gear has become obsolete, and so should the Vex.
-
3 RepliesI don't even have the weapon and I think it should be a higher atk than an ordinary exotic. It is the hardest weapon to obtain and you should be rewarded for it. I always respect players that pull out a vex to help during a public event because I know what it took to obtain it.
-
8 RepliesIt is already one of the strongest weapons in the game thanks to the buff. And getting 8 extra attack points would be hardly noticable. Bungie actually did a very fine job balancing it for The Dark Below.
-
Don't care (I have 3). I only use it for the Fusion Rifle bounty these days. Even if it [i]were[/i] buffed, there's way better guns for every scenario the Vex does well in.
-
It should be given to Santa Clause to shoot all the Vex/Hive/Fallen that are on the naughty list.
-
It would be nice if it upgraded slightly higher than other exotics so that people will keep doing VoG well into the future to get this weapon.
-
In my opinion, nothing. It doesn't need its damage increased. That's not how these games work. Once new content and levels come out, your old gear gets trashed. Now, I do believe Bungie messed up with how they handled the expansions. The expansions should have offered more content, new gear, but nothing requiring gear to be replaced. Gear shouldn't be replaced 3 months into a game's life. There should be a large expansion offering add'l planets around the game's 1 year anniversary. Then it would be ok to regrind gear.
-
2 RepliesI voted for a buff for at least 331 or higher. The buff I want is in PVE though. I understand the need for balance in PVP. However in PVE the Vex should feel powerful. If you have it you should feel comfortable bringing it into battle. I'm fine if it stays where it's at, but Xur needs to sell an upgrade for it sometime soon.
-
1 Reply354 vex, its only right considering their exotic update blatantly said that their solution for the vex was to raise its attack power higher than other weapons. So it should have higher attack after the new content as well. Makes no sense for it to not have a xupgrade when all the other exotics do
-
I say buff to 350, so like before it stands out from other exotics
-
1 ReplyBuf it to 331. No reason to differentiate.
-
331 or above. Like someone said, it IS a trophy weapon. If it isn't on par or slightly better than those exotics sold by xur, it'll just be a worthless trophy. Give it a little value Bungie. BUMP.

8 RepliesIt was op in the iron banner. You needed a suros or a heavy to beat it 1v1, unless the guy sucks. Even with the suros, you had to be a bit lucky. But if you were equally skilled vex wins everytime. That should not be the case. No weapon should give a clear advantage vs an equally skilled person when both weapons are facing each other at their optimal range.

3 RepliesEdited by Its Puppy: 12/25/2014 11:13:08 AMI voted for the buff above 331, and I dont even own it a friend of mine does and considering it's a POSSIBLE drop in hard mode VOG it should be special
-
Buff it to 355 damage! Bump
-
Buff the servers
-
2 RepliesI feel as though it's fine at 323, seeing as it's a 1.0 weapon only getting buffed above the other 1.0 versions because it's from the VoG. Soon enough, people will be asking for the necrochasm to be buffed above 331, I don't think it should be imo.
