Lmao they've told us Exotics are only legendaries with special abilities. Not meant to be better, just special.

So, we're just ignoring all RPG logic about names weapons? Cool. Why be able to use them instead of just collect stories if they're not meant to be overpowered like they were? D&D, Diablo, and many other RPG's (even shooter RPG's) have a class of weapons that stand out and help change the course of battle. You're losing? Better use the weapon that wrecks all for the save. Better use my super rare, awesome looking and sounding, PIA acquired, death machine.. to decorate my wall because it sounds lovely next to the glimmer. The point is, the weapons were insanely powerful, but the community complained because they thought this weapon was too strong, or that weapon was too strong.

Edited by VexualThrall: 4/17/2017 1:51:00 AMYes. if you havent noticed a lot of games do the same as Destiny does, where all "Yellow" or "Exotic" means is that it is special. i guess i understand but at the same time, everything is balanced now. Sure everyhing could kill slightly faster, but all in all its good.

Diablo III. Two handed weapon. Summons an army of cows that kill everything. Not even max level, but that Legendary weapon (equivalent to destiny's Exotic) is incredibly powerful and it has saved me and my team. I try to use Hard Light to kill one person? Wormwood. 40 meters. Triple tapped. Palindrome, halfway across the map, two tapped. It's a gross miscalculation to think that the highest grade weapon can be outpaced by the second highest tier.

Exotic and Legendary are equals. Hence exotic and not Superb or some other term for it. it's just special. I understand your point, but exotics shouldnt be OP, they never have been really

Keep coming back to people saying that, but they don't remember how devastating a good player was with Thorn or The Last Word in year 1 was, with those weapons. Year 1, never lost a crucible match when I had my Thorn, or a Trials match. Two tap, let poison do it's thing. Exotic pages when you collect them state that they were terrifyingly powerful.. but hey, they're on par with what Banshee makes in a basement, because the Exotics are supposed to look neat.

Edited by VexualThrall: 4/17/2017 5:08:52 PMYes but Bungie themselves have said Exotics are meant to be just special legendaries Thorn and TLW were not purposefully OP either. Which is why they were nerfed So those two and Vex, being the only exceptions to what i said, no exotics are meant to be better

So what you're saying is that they spent the time to write out each back story and how each weapon was said to be stronger than that of any other, and only wanted them to be sub par to the second highest tier of weapons from the beginning, and not after everyone started to complain of Suros's range which started the nerfs because the little kids couldn't compete with the better players at higher level, and them petitioning for the weapons to be nerfed, also had nothing to do with how almost all Exotic weapons are now trash compared to the meta weapons? Had no clue that they wanted that from the beginning when they said that they were rare and powerful pieces that would be a challenge to collect, but they actually meant that Legendary weapons are meant to be on par or better and Exotics should only look and sound cool. Thanks for enlightening.
