Anyone else think Hard Light should have a way to cycle through elemental type in the heat of combat ?
It's actually kinda anti-climatic to go into the menu, been shoot at, change and exit, move the another hiding spot to regain health.
I understand it will probably set this exotic as the new standard for the Nightfalls but there already other exotic way more overpower than this one ;)
Tell me what you think gardians !

Saddly, it seams that holding reload doesn't cycle through the elemental types of the Hard Light. (Sadness in my gardian heart)

4 AntwortenI just want everyone to appreciate for a minute that we're actually talking about how good Hard Light is now in this topic. Let that sink in a moment as you remember how, besides the pretty light show, other exotics outshone it so hard in D1

1 AntwortenThe Borealis (If that's how you spell it) has it where you can switch during combat. It's a PS exclusive, so I think they wanted to keep it exclusive so that it would feel better I guess. Plus an energy weapon that can switch during the heat of battle would be kinda OP. You could take down any sheild you wanted at anytime. A power weapon can switch during combat because it has sparse ammo and wouldn't be so overwhelming

1 AntwortenI have a sniper you can do that with :)

1 AntwortenThis just....no Hardlight has too much already /:

7 AntwortenI feel like this would defeat the purpose of Borealis' unique perk. Giving the same action to Hard Light would no longer make Borealis' perk unique. Besides, Hard Light already has enough going for it. No damage falloff, overpenetratrion, and ricochet.

3 AntwortenBungie, make it lie the Borealis where pressing square will cycle through the burns.

3 AntwortenWhat if it shot all 3.

1 AntwortenWait can't you just swap the elements using the app mid fight?
-
3 AntwortenIt only makes sense If it has the same idea as the PS exclusive then it should work the same too

2 AntwortenIf they gave it that ability. Everyone would run the nightfall without a challenge.... it would be op. So I say keep it how it is..
-
I agree. It would make it more unique. As many elemental mods as I have I can basically make any weapon any element all the time lol

There are some of us that already take advantage of the effective "on the fly" swapping system that is in place. During many fights I have swapped gear, subclasses, etc, to better combat enemies. Sure you're out of action for a moment, but with a team to back you up it's usually doable. Besides the aforementioned fact that there is already an exotic that does that, a player has the capability to combat all three energy types: abilities, energy weapon, and super weapon. So unless you're looking to just use one weapon at all times, just plan ahead and outfit accordingly. Add on the fact that the only activities you might even want to are those in which you have multiple players. In that case there are three subclasses, energy weapons, and super weapons in play which presumably aren't all of an identical energy type. The necessity to actively overpower a weapon (simultaneously undermining another) just doesn't make since.

It would make it too powerful. I can agree that it would be awesome, but if you add all these "it would be cool if" ideas, you'll find that it'll make the game much easier and less enjoyable. After all, if it could switch in the heat of battle, how often would you find yourself using different energy weapons. Sure, you may use something different from time to time, but you'd mostly use the hard light. For that sake, it's a smart move not to allow it.

1 AntwortenI completely agree. Been using it since it dropped for me. I love the versitality of it but hate having to open the menu to change cores. Even just make it possible to change via the app I'll be pretty happy

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von yourchutoy: 9/11/2017 8:53:59 PMThey will never do it. Simple as that. The logic behind it would likely be that it would make the Nightfall way to easy or some load along those lines. God forbid they throw people a bone every now and again. It is not like it would really be game breaking.

5 AntwortenIt could have the same mechanic like the PS exclusiv sniper Borealis, but then it'd be just better. For clarity borealis changes its element by holding reload
