Upgradable rare armor?

Hey everyone, i haven't really ever posted o the forum before but this is something i would find rather interesting and quite frankly a waste if something isn't ever done to address this. The world of contains many amazingly designed armors, however i feel i only ever see 4 sets of legendary armor (The three faction armors and the raid gear) why is this? the problem is is that by the time you are less than half way through a playthrough of whichever campaign you are playing through you have already attained a mixed variation of different legendary armors and weapons and alas the poor rare armors and weapons are discarded never to be seen again, and then the poor Gunsmith, Banshee-44 cries himself to sleep every night because no one uses his weapons. To be honest 9/10 times some of the rare armors and weapons look better than the legendary ones, they have better textures. the models are so diverse and different than anything else we ever see; but yet they are deemed unusable because we want or rank to be as high as we can get it so that when we eventually get a legendary drop (If ever thanks to RNG) from crucible or a strike its closer to our rank. So, here is what i propose, remember the raid weapons from VoG and Crotas End or the Halloween mask glue and the sparrow horn components that allow you to "Upgrade" a rare piece into a legendary piece, why not add something like that to armors and weapons, and by doing so you gain 1 more random perk on that gear to make it a legendary, it would add so much diversity, no longer would you load into a lobby and see everyone looking exactly the same just a different colour, no more would you be getting killed by the same small group of weapons over and over again not because they are better than all the other guns but because they have an extra perk. With TTK and the addition of foundry weapons being added into the rotation there are so many new Archetypes of weapons in the game that are never used because they are all rare weapons with the exception of the Gunsmih package weapons that are all a complete waste of time. Please, if not for the players think of the poor artists that made this fantastic assets only for them to be used for 10 seconds until we pick up another engram and instantly dismantle the weapon we had just had, add a little more flavor into our arsenal. Thank you so much for reading to the end, post your thoughts below. P.S An Omolon auto rifle and shotgun would be the coolest thing ever *Wink* *Wink* *Nudge* *Nudge*

  • Upgrading rare armor would be fantastic! I held on to the Seraphim robe as long as I could because it simply looks better than everything else but was forced to ditch it in the name of progress. Same goes for quite a few hunter cloaks. It would be great to have a similar item as the Halloween glue for our rares.
