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.

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von .: 8/8/2016 8:50:53 PMMakes me wonder about how different this game was prior to Sep 2014 launch. These guns have far too much effort put into them for them to have always been blue weapons from the start.

There is a great scout rifle green drop I loved, shoot so fast barely giving my enemies enough time to see that I was actually shooting them lol

I've recently been doing that farm too! From reading the first bit, I was wondering if you got the Hard Luck Mk. 52 in your grind. Also the Tomyris sniper is a broken archetype: same fire rate as an LDR/Longbow with the impact of Black Spindle.

1 AntwortenI prefer the Gozen-C. Got a nice barrel style and can roll with final round.

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von Orbital Drop Shock Trooper: 8/8/2016 4:25:44 PMBack in the end of Year 1, sometimes I would use Blue/White weapons to throw people off that it wasn't the weapon but the user. Then I would get messages asking me where I got the weapon from, because a lot of people just assume the weapon is all the skill required for the kill. So I started using Y1 Necrocasm, universally lauded as a piece of shit weapon and I managed to top the leaderboards in 6v6 with it. People stopped messaging me about weapons after that because it wouldn't confirm their confirmation bias of weapons not being the sole reason for a kill. I still see this same mentality everyday in the forums, I give up trying to help people now, I just laugh at them while they argue back. But I completely agree that these weapons are overlooked, some of them have more detail than exotics.

2 AntwortenDon't know why the drop blues after lvl 40 basically just glimmer and weapon parts. Games dumb

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von Dayknight: 8/8/2016 5:14:58 PMBy far the best post today for me. I wish i could get some of these like the caracas. That seraph armor is disgustingly great.

Hey, That's pretty Good!

I like it. It's like how Necrocasm was created by upgrading it to legendary and then exotic. It's a great idea to expand it to all other weapons & armour. There is some great gear out there that I simply ignore as it has no use outside of the Crucible.

I feel you. Gotta save the world looking and fabulous. I also agree on the nerfing fusion rifles part.

Completely agree

3 AntwortenI'm not going to lie, I didn't read anymore than your title/subject, but I completely agree. I have always thought that some of the blue and even green gear is far more aesthetically pleasing, than the majority of legendary.
-
Agree. Bungie and its design team spend alot of work/time creating weapons and armour that unfortunatly turn obsolete 1 week into every new dlc or expansion. Such a waste. It also seems like they design common and rare stuff first (by the look of it) and when they have exhausted all ideas they begin designing the endgame gear (legendary and exotic) At that point the well of imagination has run dry and everything turns into re skinned sheit in various poop colours.

There's a set of blue warlock gear that drops during the Venus missions at about level 12. Some of the most aesthetically pleasing armor for warlocks in my opinion. I'll equip it all for now until I end up playing again. [spoiler]if you see this and he isn't wearing it, you'll know why. [/spoiler]
