For me, the real tragedy of this game is the legendaries, not the exotics

[b]TL;DR[/b] The real satisfaction for me is collecting legendaries with exactly the perks I desire, and Bungie won't let me. [b]What make me feel special?[/b] It's not the exotics. I remember the feeling of wanting a Vex so bad, and now I hardly look at my collection of them. What about the other exotics? Until we get them, they're these amazing treasures so highly coveted. After we get them? They're just tools. Nothing more. The IB is an ammo dump. The ghorn is a Crota dropper. The JuJu is my super generator. The Monte is my melee generator. Nothing more, nothing less. But the problem is, they're not exotic. Once I have one, I'm no different than anyone else with them. [u]Exotics aren't exotic.[/u] [b]The weapons I love[/b] What weapons do I absolutely love? I have a Crash shotgun that's Void with Hammer Forged and Shot Package. I [i]love[/i] that gun. It's special. It's amazing. It's different. It's not unique, but it's close. It easily drops minotaurs at a safe distance. I. love. that. gun. I have a few Radaghast's Fury that I rolled with Surplus and Field Scout. Those guns are such fun to use. 4-5 rockets per ammo cake. Granted, they're not ideal for Crota, but for running ROCs or PVP? The extra ammo makes for a good time spamming rockets. [b]Destiny's Problem[/b] I can buy legendaries, but the perks never change. And only a few of the vendor sold items have exactly the perks I want. So where else do I get legendary drops? 1. Engrams? Sorry. We only give out armor engrams. And any purple weapon engrams you receive shall be converted to worthless shards. You are not allowed to have get a legendary weapon from an engram. 2. Raids? Nope. The drops are just raid gear and exotics. While that's great for the noob, it's not for the experienced player who's tired of breaking down duplicate exotics. Having a chance for legendary drops too would be nice since I'm always hoping for new perk combinations. 3. Faction rewards for leveling? Yeah, they sometimes do. But mostly it's helmets. (Bungie: I have enough oblivion helms now, thanks. Stop giving me them.) 4. Nightfall? Yeah, that's about the only place where I can consistently get legendary weapons. But lately it's been coins, shards, and energy. Which is frustrating. [b]The Solution[/b] 1. First, we need that vault space, but I won't beat that dead horse. 2. Fix the armor situation. Since all armor and shards except Crota gear is worthless ... I won't beat that horse either. 3. Adjust the weapon/armor ratio for engrams. Feels just like Diablo. All the time I get armor. I hate returning to the cryptarch with 8 arms and legs and only 1 heavy weapon engram. 4. Drop legendaries from the exotic chests too. VoG, Deathsinger, etc. Look, don't reduce the exotic chances, but add in a chance for legendaries. While you're at it, drop legendaries at the end of the raid too... 5. Offer perk variations on exotics. Granted, SGA must have the Super Good Advice perk to be relevant, but the 4th column could vary, etc. Imagine picking up a hawkmoon with outlaw on it? PVE4Ever! Allowing for even the tiniest variation on exotic weapons would reduce the disappointment of receiving duplicates again and again and again. 6. Do NOT offer stat re-roll on all weapons. That would diminish the joy of receiving legendary drops with just the right perks. The IB re-roll is nice, but it should stay relegated to just those few weapons. Thanks.

  • I agree that a good legendary with good rolls is probably a better find than all exotics not named Icebreaker or Gjallarhorn. I swear by The Culling with Field Scout. I use my Efideet's more than I use my IceBreaker....until I run of bullets. An exotic with just the right roll is the true exotic of the game. I only disagree with the "Hawkmoon with Outlaw" part. Hawkmoon's clip should be emptied as much as possible in order to get all the aces every time. Now, a Hawkmoon with Spray and Play.......Or How about a Thorn with Spray and Play......

      • So true. I have the devil you know with crowd control and zen mement, plus added stability. I have yet to come across a better legendary HC and value this gun over all my exotics.

      • I will admit, if I find a legendary weapon I already have with better perks, not matter how much XP, Glimmer and Mats I sunk into the 1st gun, it gets dismantled and replaced by the new one. Got a Red Hand IX from a Legendary Engram and it did not have the explosive round perk I really wanted. Finally got the Red Hand IX with the Explosive rounds perk and I immediately dismantled the other. No reason to keep it if I won't use it.

        • Issue is most legendaries are garbage unless you get a god roll. So you can keep your kinetic damage bad stat primaries while I'll stick with my raid primary weapons that have perks I actually like and elemental damage. For secondaries I can see your point and for heavy but only with machine guns

          • Why can we not reroll weapon perks with energies and reroll armor perks with shards?

            • To make matters worse... if you happen to get a weapon with the perfect stats for you, then enjoy it becoming obsolete after each dlc.

            • i grossly disagree. i enjoy my exotics.. hell.. i wish i could equip more than 1 at a time.. that way i didn't have to put away gjallarhorn anytime i needed ice breaker or mida. as far as perk rerolls go.. if you're going to do it to IB gear.. you may as well do it to all legendaries. and per bungie... the best weapons of the game.. are supposed to come from the raids (raid legendaries and exotics) -- not from someone who found a IB gun and rerolled it til his eyes bled.. just to get the "perfect" perk set. hell.. that's just about the same as trying to equate vendor legendary gear to raid gear .... doing so would completely make raid gear moot. so while i applaud your enthusiasm.. your ideas would ruin what's left of destiny. thanks but no thanks.

              • Bungie made clear [i]after they released Destiny[/i] that they wanted the best guns (legendary or exotic) to come out of the raids.

                • I feel the same way. I rarely run exotic weapons anymore. I prefer something with perks that will work with my armor, skills, and play style. Exotics lose their flavor and become situational after a while.

                • I agree. Recently I got a shot gun with reduced spread when aiming, +agility, and kneepads. It is my new favorite for pvp. But I'd like to get more weapons with different perks, and less exotics.
