Is Eye of Osiris the ONLY Exotic Emblem? [Mini Rant]
If that's true, then it sucks. The only Exotic emblem in the game, and it will likely never be available again.
I mean, come on, going flawless isn't the only endgame challenge, and Year One isn't the only year, so why on earth was the only exotic emblem to ever be in destiny be awarded to that specific activity for that year only?
We have 3 Raids, we have a bajillion strikes, Prison of Elders, Iron Banner, tons of other endgame activities. Why on earth do we have no exotic emblems whatsoever for ANY of them?
I mean, come on! I'm sure there are some people out there who have achieved flawless raider on all 3 hard mode raids. That's got to be worthy of an exotic emblem, but no...you get nothing. The emblem we got for year 2 moments of triumph is all gold and stuff, but it's still not classed as an exotic despite all the stuff you have to go through to get it.
What about an endless mode of Prison of Elders that lasts until you wipe!? Give us an exotic emblem for reenacting Endure from ODST in there, I'd do it!
I...I dunno. I'm just frustrated. That emblem, that one measly emblem. It's labelled as exotic, basically cementing it as THE best emblem. The fact that as it stands right now, we are permanently bound to emblems that are considered by the game to be "second best", angers me to no end.
I just wish that there was something we could do to get that emblem, or one just as good, through skill and determination. I don't want it to be easy, I just want it to be possible.
Okay, rant over. If you actually read all of that, I appreciate it.

Wait, we have a bajillion strikes?

3 RepliesYes it is, I love that emblem and I am glad I went 9-0 to get it.

Emblem rarity means nothing, for example, everyone has the suros fire emblem, but it is legendary, whereas much fewer people have the beta emblems, yet they are Uncommon.

4 RepliesSo what you're saying is that you want the only exotic emblem in the game, the one obtained by running flawless in the very 1st trials of osiris of the game, to be obtainable after year 1. Lets make it drop from 3 of coins, then, so any remarkable value it may hold will be lost as with all other exotics, currently. More exotic emblems would be nice, yes. But the y1 ToO flawless emblem is going to be the rarest exotic in the game, with good meaning. Granted, 70% of the people that have it were carried by streamers or Thorn. But I have 3 Scholar Adept's to show for my devotion :P

It's because back before HoW released with Trials, Bungie assumed it would be played much differently. They clearly didn't think going flawless was what most people would play for, hence why we can get 3 losses before having to turn in a card. They thought going flawless would be the most difficult challenge, only for true masters of PvP, and that very few people would ever reach The Lighthouse. The majority of people would play just to reach nine wins, most with one or two losses on the card. That's why both Y2 flawless emblems (and Scarab Heart) are Legendary. Bungie realized lots of people can do it, not to mention streamers and/or highly skilled players who carry those who can't reach flawless on their own. Also, in terms of emblems being second best to an Exotic, just remember that most of the rarest emblems in this game are classified as Uncommon.

Honestly there shouldn't be any vanity exotics

1 ReplyWow. Sucks to be you.

3 RepliesPeople get too hung up on titles. An emblem being "exotic" does not make it better than any other emblem because it doesn't do anything different from any other emblem. [spoiler]Except confuse you as to who is the fireteam leader.[/spoiler]

I think you need to worry more about life instead of an emblem.
-
yeah bungie in its pvp catering agenda.
-
The only difference between eye of Osiris and any other emblems is the sound they make when they pop into your inventory.
-
Emblems are only seen on the character screens or in lobbies. And even then, you can only see the emblem itself- you only see its ''rarity'' if you go to that part of their inventory. An emblem being exotic has quite literally zero impact on any conceivable matter.
-
That emblem is hideous. The exotic part is the only thing going for it.

7 RepliesIt takes more skill to beat players in combat than to learn raid mechanics. Once you learn raid mechanics, the raid never changes, and it becomes easier to complete to the point of it becoming a simple chore. The most difficult part of raiding is putting together a decent team. If you have that, then you can win. Trials never stays the same. You have to adapt every time. Winning nine matches in a row in Trials is a pretty difficult feat to accomplish. It can be done, but you need skill. I'm okay with Trials having an exotic emblem. PvP will always be more difficult than PvE in the end. Now if only I could make it to the lighthouse lol

I have it, but I'll be honest, I prefer the Legendary Emblems you can get from Eva Levante. It might be a status thing to you, but don't make a big deal about it, it doesn't affect your gameplay in any way. Back in Year 1, if you tried using weapons not featured in the Meta ( Thorn, Last Word, Vex Mythoclast, Final Round Efrideet's Spear) , it was quite of a challenge to obtain. ( it was much easier if you stuck to the meta.) Aside from bragging rights, it really doesn't matter if you have it or not. Hope Bungie gives people like you another chance to get it in the coming years.

Edited by WhiskeyHotel: 9/3/2016 6:33:30 PMWho cares? Seriously. It literally does nothing. It just says exotic on it, that's all. And btw, with your .4 kd in trials, you definitely shouldn't be worrying about any flawless emblems.
-
Oh well.

Edited by NYDIBS: 9/3/2016 6:25:41 PMI have the exotic trials emblem but I don't get why the MoT emblems aren't exotic, they really should be

5 RepliesYou are playing a MMO. Players that play more or from the start get things that new players dont have a chance to get. It isnt game breaking or anything just a thanks from the devolpers for Playing more or sooner than others.

I think that in year 3 bungie should introduce more exotic emblems Could be for truly exotic milestones 1. Completing the Wrath of the Machine raid from start to finish 100 times on Hard. -If I see you wearing that exotic emblem I will salute you on having the skills and patience to complete a whole hard mode raid from start to finish 100 times. 2. Faction Exotic emblems that mark the 100 rank milestone 3. Iron banner Exotic Emblem that marks acquiring 100 Objectively Correct Medals during the Iron Banner throughout year 3. 4. The new Scarab Equivalent Emblem of year 3 trials should be exotic -Because it shows you've went beyond flawless.
-
I think all exotica should do something, even if it's an emblem. Maybe something subtle as glowing. Would be cool if they added animated emblems.

5 RepliesTo be fair. The best of everything was in y1. Exotics raids People Guns Forums Less bitching Emblems Shaders ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) People [spoiler]People[/spoiler]
