So recently in Destiny, I kind of ran out of things to hunt for. Then one day, I was killed by a Scipio-E sniper rifle in the Crucible. I had never heard of it, so I inspected the user to be amazed at how incredible this sniper looked. The next day, I deleted my Titan and started a new one, transferring blue engrams I would stock up from my Hunter and Warlock to it so I could decrypt them into Vanilla-era blue weapons. When my Titan was around level 12, I finally got a Scipio-E. But also in the meantime, I dropped a ton of various blue weapons that look absolutely fantastic.
It's great using them in Crucible, but I think it would be fantastic to either add infusion to blue items, or add a system that allows us to upgrade them to Legendary and then infuse them, to truly maximize the amount of customization one can use. These weapons and armor still wouldn't be on the same level as most Legendaries, as they would still maintain the perks they had when blue, just allow them to be infused and used in end-game activities.
And this is primarily because, most blues look better than any of the Legendaries in this game. Here are just a ton of examples from my own personal collection:

Basically, I find myself using blues more often than Legendaries lately just for the variety. I know there are more blues that look fantastic that I don't have, like the Evergreen pulse or the Stalker BNGL scout.
I just wanna see more variety in this great game, and I know I'm not alone.
TL;DR
Blues should have a way to upgrade them so that they can be able to be used in places other than standard Crucible, bringing variety to the game and more customization.
TLTL;DR;DR
Pretty blues. Make Purple.
EDIT: I'm amazed at the reception this post has gained! Most people have called me silly for farming for these guns, but I'm glad to see so many others appreciate the cosmetics in this game. I'm gonna be editing as I go, adding more guns as I drop them, as the grind is still going strong.

Bungie really should allow us to upgrade some blues. I stick to my idea that it should be for a short time like Festival of the lost. I think it should be around Xmas time with a fun quest that allows us to get gifts that we can open for items to use to infuse a blue to purple, but just during that special event. I still have blue masks that I made purple with the glue and paper from treat bags. They can totally do this!

Great idea, would love to see this added.

They can have something similar to that, where you by a [i]Legendary Core[/i] for like 23 Strange coins that will turn any Rare into a Legendary. Since there are some cool Greens too you could have Rare Infusion Cores also. It'd be a very cool idea and add for more customization. [i]Since it seems [b]so[/b] many people really like this simple idea, I've decided to create a post for it so more people may see the post and maybe Deej or Cosmo may see it and might give it to headquarters.

2 AntwortenDon't leave out the blue Scout Rifle that had the same body as the Multi-tool and was all black, with the decal of a white lion on it. Might have been a tiger, can't remember. It's been to long since I've seen it. Had it once, long ago.

Bearbeitet von Edawg530: 8/19/2016 8:11:01 PMDon't worry, one day they'll re use these weapon models as legendaries and call them new. Just like how the Ace of spades weapon model is exactly like the hard luck rare handcannon

Yep. Miss my blue hand cannons. Heaven Can Wait - [i]There's still work for us in hell.[/i]

Bearbeitet von Guardian0346: 8/18/2016 4:35:19 PMAs a collector it rips my heart out constantly out of vault space..and it's only filled with iron banner,vog,Crota,ttk couple random yr 1 legendaries. Forget about collecting multiple of a same gun with different perks for different scenarios.....collect blues?!? Hahaha yeah I wish. Bungie wanted us to be "collectors" but does not supply enough space

8 AntwortenBearbeitet von Noble Six: 8/10/2016 4:05:58 AMI am starting to collect green and blue autorifles, because they look cool. I also still want to get some year 1 blue scout rifles with shoot to loot. Hunter capes are the best: [armory]Cloak of Hidden Agendas[/armory] "Tell a Titan only a madman would go.

To be fair, the Black Suros was a legendary at one point. In the form of Fair And Square. Which I'm still holding onto.

Bumping this post, because Destiny deserves this.

Just take away attack values, that way you can use whatever you want but blues and greens just have less perks obviously
-
I agree, the blue engrams were way cooler in some instances.

Nice job mate. You've just given them the ultimate PR tool to use for Destiny 2.
