Here's my idea. BRING BACK OLDER EXOTICS!
Wait, that's not be idea. What if, Bungie. What if there was a sweet system in the game that only works once across the entire account. This system allows you to complete a cool quest in order to "revive" one of the older exotics, like Ice Breaker, for example. This allows the older ones to be more relevant again and it doesn't put all of them to one person to make them stupid OP (we all know that's the reason they weren't brought back. Too OP. Still not sure how the Ice Breaker was OP though). You only get one pick and cannot change. After the pick, you're done. It can be armor, too, if you want. So you can bring back one that you really miss but if you see someone with another revived exotic that you then realized you wanted instead, you're gonna have to suck it up. It will not only allow players to build an attachment to that weapon again, but will make things more interesting in PvE and PvP (it would be a special attachment too, since you can't get be weapon again, or another one of the "revived" like it).
I say this because my favorite exotic ever, the Ice Breaker, has become 95% useless (like many other exotics who were neglected and left in the past). I only take it out when I'm leveling a new character, which even then I've only done 3 times since I made all three on Day 1. One of those times was after the Taken King released. If they have to be slightly adjusted to make them less OP, so be it (I'm sure the same thing was done to Ghorn, even if nobody admits it. If it wasn't, why not being back the rest?).
Just a thought since the closing days of Destiny approach us. Just bring them back to enjoy one last time before the migration to Destiny 2, would ya kindly?
Sign this beautiful petition if you agree with this idea! Let it be seen by Bungie! HOORAH (but really, sign if you agree. Idk but you guys, but this idea to me sounds absolutely dope. I'd rather use Ice Breaker my last day of Destiny than MIDA or an exotic sword.
TL;TR
If you want older, dead exotics to make a reappearance before Destiny 2 starts its wave (in a balanced, interesting manner), sign here.
EDIT: Keep it rolling with the replies/signs! Bring the rest of the weapons forward! We didn't pay for them to be left behind in year 1! (This would be really awkward if they actually did bring them to Y3 but waited till the DLC dropped before we found out, but that's doubtful).
LET'S GET THIS BOY TRENDING, FELLAS. FOR HONOR, AND GLORY, AND THE RETURN OF FUN, KICKASS WEAPONS (at least before Destiny 2, pls)
I really didn't think this thread would blow up like it is, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THIS TRAIN FROM CHUGGIN RIGHT ON DOWN TO BUNGIE STUDIOS TO GET OUT WEAPONS BACK. YEEEAAAAHHHH KEEP ROLLING. WE SHALL BE HEARD

There is 4 exotics that wont be brought to y3 as far as we know. Icebreaker Vex mythoclast Necrochasm Pocket infinity Not alot of choice is there?
-
Bring back pre nerf mytho
-
Siva mythoclast yes
-
Everything but the Ice Breaker can come back. Fu[b]ck[/b] the Ice Breaker.
-
Uhhhh no because no matter what, everyone's all gonna pick one exotic, ice breaker or vex. No one has any reason to pick anything else because most have been brought forward
-
Ice breaker sucks... black hammer aka black spindle is what it's all about.. once u go black u never go back
-
I'd choose IB cuz I didn't get it till y2
-
Signed. It's getting to the point where I cry myself to slee-I mean calmly sit on my bed and totally don't cry over icebreaker being useless now.
-
Gjallarhorn? Thorn? Where have you been?
-
ICEBREAKER
-
Yes please. I want the Necrochasm brought forward. Ugh my baby
-
I miss you pocket infinity
-
I think it would be awesome to allow players to "choose" which exotic to bring forward. Kind of like in Pokemon you choose your starter. It'd be a cool way to show the community which guns you love most. But then again, I really just wish they were never left behind to start with.
-
I never understood why dropped the weapons in the first place. Yes I get that some became too powerful or over used, but clearly the dev staff is capable of almost completely reinventing the the intrinsic "wow" factor an usefulness of the weapon will keeping it relatively true to it's original purpose, the best example is Dragon's Breath. Plus, like the big, if not vague expanded universe lore and engaging gameplay, it's the weapons that keep me interesting in the game. It's definitely a lot more interesting that CoD's 20 variations of the same assault rifle or Titanfall's bare bones weapon systems (in terms of big title sci-fi shooters), and don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of both games, especially Titanfall. But the exotic weapons (and armor) in Destiny where always as big high point for me, just like the Raids. They were unique in design and use, and so potent in some cases that the weapons became legends themselves in the community, for better or worst. Try mentioning The Last Word, "Baller-Horn", or Invective and you'll see what I mean. I obviously can't change Bungie's decision to hold some exotics back, but I would personally love to have each and every weapon, new and old, see a return as the game progresses.

I want my Vex back, in black.
-
Bring back all Y1 gear Armor, weapons, class items, raids, strikes and poe Last DLC should pump out everything
-
At least the raid exotics. The Fallen haven't seen the power of the Vex Mytho in soooooo long
-
Well they're bringing back thorn and ghorn, aside from vex mythoclast I think the majority would do the exact same thing as you (and me) and pick IB, I can't think of anything else I really miss so why not just give in and bring it back out right cause everyone would pick that anyway
-
All year one exotics have a year 2 version or will get one in RoI except icebreaker, pocket infinity, and the raid exotics (probably some armor too?). Icebreaker and pocket infinity returning with RoI is quite likely imo. Raid exotics won't come back unless the old raids would come back, which will probably happen somewhere in 2017.
-
We're trending! Keep it rolling! WOOT WOOT
-
No please god no. What part of they won't do it do people not understand? Oh wait none of it
-
Ice breaker is still top notch on patrol and all pre TTK.
-
I don't care if they take away old exotics I just wish they gave and reason in-game. For example I wish they would have showed the ice breaker slowly falling apart and being unsafe to use. They could show a cut scene of it exploding while you are using it but ghost saves you last minute. Something like this would add lore to the exotics
-
Wouldn't work. Players would gravitate to Ice Breaker and demand you take it as your one off. Everyone has an OP rifle again and the PvE maps have to become cramped and small scale to compensate
-
Wowie wowzers. Bringing back old EXOTICS? Some IDEA you got there buddy. I've NEVER seen this post even ONCE before. Man, this is such a UNIQUE and HARD TO THINK OF Idea. I'm SURPRISED YOU COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING SO CLEVER! An u̶p̶v̶o̶t̶e̶ DOWNVOTE FOR YOU GOOD SIR.
-
I feel like only icebreaker and the raid exotics are the inky ones that haven't come forward yet
