Okay so I'm trying to get this idea in circulation in the community, it'd be a brilliant use of materials and time for us guardians, give us something to spend currency on, give us something unique to push for that would work beautifully for the game as well as give us that bit of personal flare we desire.
I call it Project Exotic.
The premise is this, we have guardians who have made gear, used it tooled and tuned it to maximize it's potential. Toland, Ikora Rey, Jaren Ward, Dredgen Yor, Saint 14, the list goes on. But what if us, the modern day guardians were given the same chance?
You would start by "designing" your eventual exotic. You'd pick the base design a color scheme, and a base archetype. It can be any weapon class in the game. Then you'd use it beginning from common you'll gain it exp by using it and rank it until it hits legendary. At legendary you'll use and infuse the weapon. Until it hits exotic it wouldn't have any perks, but the kicker is that the weapons you infuse give a chance for your exotic to take on perks from the ones you've used. Bungie could use this to balance out the skill tree to ensure OP rolls that make any overly op rolls or rolls for weapons that they'd removed impossible. This would although make getting weapons matter a bit more to us because the rolls we get could help us to make our exotic as amazing as possible within reason for the game. Bungie could also introduce perks that have a possibility to roll as your exotic perk that would be influenced by the weapons/ weapon types infused, or make it that you have to follow a questline for your exotic perk and you can get all the other perks but your exotic status and exotic perk don't come until you reach the end of the quest. That way they could implement some sort of trade system or registry for personal exotics so we can track our legacy. I feel like it'd only work if it was limited to 1 personal exotic per character though. Well that's for my brain let me know what you think and add in some feedback on this. If we can get it hammered out as a community maybe we can pitch it to Bungie and see what happens!

Yes I want this
-
The best way would to be to send it through twitter, btw I like this idea
-
I like it
-
I want to help get this to the ears of Bungie for them to contemplate the idea. I think this is an awesome idea and should be implemented into the game. Any ideas on how I can help?
-
Bump! Brilliant idea.

Who would you get the quest from? And, I think one per account would be enough. Plus, what if someone has life exotic on a bunch of armour because they have 3 hunters? One per account might be enough

We could have a pool of starter points that we could to rof, impact, reload, etc. As we rank it up through quest and materials we get more points to apply to stats, the we start the perk selection and quest. GREAT IDEA MAN

Edited by Shadow: 1/9/2016 3:34:14 AMNevermore Exotic Sniper Rifle And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting just above my chamber door... Side Perks Edgar- Rounds that hit shielded enemies will do a random percentage of their damage to the enemies health, ignoring the shield Void Damage Infuse Perk Column 1 Aggressive Ballistics Linear Compensator Field Choke Perk 2 Allen- This weapon will reload itself, from your reserves, after a precision kill, regardless of which round gets the kill Perk Column 3 Custom Optics (Reduces zoom from 4x to 2x) Field Scout (Adds 6 reserve rounds) Appended Magazine (Increases magazine to 6 rounds and adds 2 reserve rounds) Perk 4 Poe- Dealing health damage to a shielded enemy will drain health from a random enemy not in your line of sight and feed it to the shooter Appearance- Supremacy look but Purple is replaced with Black and Gold is replaced with Red. There is a Black feather in place of the Queen's Sigil. The edges of the feather light up Red when ADS and when fired the center of the quill will begin to turn Red and will become completely Red when the magazine is empty. Rate of Fire- 30 Impact- 65 Range- 90 Stability- 80 Reload- 15 Magazine Size- 4

Exotic Sidearm Name: Burning Galacta I've died so many times. Sometimes I want to die. But no matter what, there's always a light. I always reach out and take it. This time, there is no light. I am dead. Forget me. Please. Exotic perk: Dusk Eternal: Major and ultra kills spawn a small horse of taken (3-4) which drop one orb each. Perk one: accurized ballistics, aggressive ballistics, field choke Perk two: counterbalance Perk three: Field scout, armor pericing rounds, spinning up Perk four: Light of the dark: Major kills have a small chance to spawn a four second void anchor Appearance: very dark purple barrel with a pitch black handle. Bullet hole (don't know what to call the hole where a bullet exits the barrel) is star shaped. Picture of the sun on right, picture of crescent moon on left. Taken energy radiates from the gun. Shape like crucible sidearm RoF: 110 (yup) Impact: 7 Range: 33 Stability: 52 Reload: 64

GIVE THIS MAN A MEDAL!

I totally love this idea, if this were to be put in the game, everyone would have the exotic of their dreams...
-
I can get behind that, but only if I can have a scout that looks like a harpoon gun and pins people to the wall
-
I see problems with this but I love the fact that guns can grow and evolve into better ones! (All we got was necrochasm and we'll it was a bit of a disappointment) it makes them feel more attatched and our guns (atleast until the next yearly update that makes everything useless) I would like to see this happen or at the very least make guns that start out white but work their way up to legendary or exotic even

Bump because this is amazing

Bump this future developer.

Custom made exotic armor/weapon/mark for each class... Why haven't we done this yet?! (Yes, I know we have class specific, that's not custom)
