Let me start somewhat harshly: We all know that exotic weapons mess with balance. Deep down we know that NLB isn't as good as TLW. Deep down we know that standard PvP simply isn't competitive. So I propose a new gametype... one without exotic weapons. So you have to spend your time fine-tuning your own personal firearms at the gunsmith, how you see fit, and you have to put care into leveling each one. Then you take them into a 3v3 exotic-weapon-free playlist that includes Control, TDM, Skirmish, and Elimination.
Keep in mind that this would be a new playlist- not a replacement. If you've got sympathy for us competitive players... or if you support this playlist... or even if you're neutral (it won't hurt you!), bump this. Bump it very much. Some people want to "become legend", rather than "become exotic and therefore have everyone use one of the few top tier primary exotics". I'm not whining over those exotics' lack of balance, but rather asking for a simplified optional playlist that does not allow exotic weapons to be utilized. Or perhaps it could simply restrict the effect of each Exotic Perk. If you have suggestions feel free to suggest.
This would give Destiny a longer TTK, allowing for more intense, strategic gunfights. Which I am a fan of.
if you don't want this at least explain, and understand that it would be fun for lots of people who want a more balanced game mode. I'm fine with normal Pvp but it is honestly stressful at times.

For it to be truly competitive fixed loadouts must be enforced, less variables == easier balance. Orb generation IMHO should be disabled.

Yes, I have brought this idea up many times but sadly it has just been ignored, good to see it getting some light shed on it.

Sure, more options are always good

Edited by aem: 5/27/2015 9:04:05 AMPVP is all over the place right now. Some good, some bad, some ok I guess. The give and take perk of innate parts of weapon are great. But will be overshadowed to the vault weapons already put forth. Too many "guns to end all guns" concept that are just too easy to use. [b]I find it funny that we use exotic primaries for ToO only to get legendary primaries, that we would probably use a couple times... And then go back to the exotic. [/b] [b]I love the new reroll feature. It makes a legendary I found and rerolled personal to me. No gimmicks, no add on exotic gun features, just straight gunplay. It's a time that feels like the first few weeks of Destiny where no one had exotics.[/b] With HoW I find myself playing PVP and PVE more, not to win, not to get better. But to find weapons that I like to my play style. And reroll them to my liking. Sure I still have MIDA, Hawkmoon, Vex, and Bad Juju. But they're all paired with a legendary that I retooled to my liking Vex - Hyrule AR w/ focus fire and glass half full MIDA - Deadshot luna w/ hand laid stock, FA, and spray and play (hoping to get NL shadow for better stability, magazine size and impact. Hawkmoon - red hand with zen and hidden hand Bad Juju - use to have spare change with outlaw and headhunter but always and noticeably moved left with each trigger. Hoping to find something to replace it. Exotic armor I think is fine.

So... What would your loadouts be?
-
Some of us have more than three friends and would like to have them in the room as well. 3v3 sucks ass and needs to stay where those with little or like flying solo can play there, those of us with friends like the 6v6 or greater than

Yep sure. Then that way the only players playing on an exotic playlist would be all those fu€king thorn users.

Thanks for the reply! Bump!

Bump. This sounds like an amazing game type. Good idea man, I'd like to see this developed.
-
-
Remove supers from the playing too! Bump.
-
-
Agreed.
-
A better idea would be to make a playlist that allowed exotics in every slot, but prohibited legendaries. This would eliminate the vast range of legendary effectiveness due to the random nature of legendary perks.

-
Why not everyone has the same armor and stats, but you can customize your weapons more
-
I've wanted something like this as well. No Exotic weapons or armor. There would be an emphasis on Legendary weapons but often times you can get ones with completely different perks. Would this new playlist have Iron Banner rules, as in weapon and armor points make a difference? Or would it be a basic Crucible match?
-
BUmpity Bump
-
I love the idea, but I think the legendaries would just take the place of exotics in this playlist.
