Our hard earned exotic armor collection is worthless.
When I purchased Shadowkeep i wasnt aware that my entire exotic armor collection, which took years to acquire on three characters, was going to be rendered useless.
But hey its cool, they added so much awesome new content from d1 that im brimming with excitement to re-grind for my exotic gear. We all get to play the same old activities weve been playing forever and hope that we might get a piece of exotic gear along the way that isnt useless by default thanks to armor 2.0. Play the way you want! As long as you want to grind and grind and grind some more.
Logged onto my alts for the first time since SK dropped and deleted all their exotic gear, all of it with like 33 stat points … what a slap in the face.

It varies widely, some have 46 points some 51, will that rotate or what? Come on Bungie wheres all that vaunted transparency?

3 Repliesenjoy having 3 of every peice thanks to elemental affinity too :)

2 RepliesAll exotic armour should be re-rollable for a fair price imo. We shouldn’t have to reacquire all the armour, not sure how or why this was overlooked.

1 Reply[quote]Logged onto my alts for the first time since SK dropped and deleted all their exotic gear, all of it with like 33 stat points … what a slap in the face.[/quote] It's even lower --> 23 stat points. You probably have a mod on the armor that says 33. It's not so much a slap in the face. It's more a kick in the balls. But hey, going from year 1 to year 2 Bungie did exactly the same: you could basically throw away all your armor. I don't think they respect player time.

1 ReplySaying it was "hard work" is a bit much, it's random drop rate, you didn't work hard for any of it. The only "issue" with getting previously owned Exotics is the element aspect. I don't think it's necessary having 3 of each exotic. Otherwise, it's actually fairly easy grinding for existing exotics. Run the Legend Nightfall, I got 3 Exotics, including a Doomfang, with pretty high stat values, along side 10 or so enhancement shards.
-
"Hard work" "Random drop rate" Well. Pick one. You can't have both. With exception to quests of course. Also is it just me or are exotics more rare all of a sudden?
-
Agreed.
-
Even better you get an exotic drop out in the wild and it has like a 49 stat bar. What a Fing waste this armor 2.0 shite is. Most every item you have drop in the game now is guess what......USELESS. Go do some 980 nightfalls or just leave the game I guess. Welcome to the new MMO destiny. Everyone having a good time?
-
Collections in general are useless at this point just a waste of space. "Can't reaquire random rolls weapons or armor"
-
1 ReplyI kept most of my old exotic armor. Someone at Bungie was on drugs or something when they assigned random elements to armor. Hunter class has so many that are messed up.
-
4 RepliesI think you mean to say that the entire armor collection is worthless, not just the exotics. For real though - What is the point of a pullable collection section when 80% of it is flagged with, "Cannot reacquire random rolled item." This same problem carries into ShadowKeep. Did you shard your Y2 Iron Banner sets, the Crucible set, or the Vanguard set? They're gone now - no way to get them back because you can't reacquire random rolled gear. It's time for Collections to get weekly static rolls for all random rolled gear. I like looking at all the thing's I've picked up over the years but its crap that only some of it can be re-equipped.

Edited by DuBChiri2: 10/26/2019 5:06:42 PMWell, owning it and having the collections is still useful. What sucks is not having the ones you need or want.
-
Bungie please let us spend cores to upgrade stat rolls on exotics only. Drops are so rare in the wild, the chances of getting the exotic you want, paired with a good stat roll, are pretty much zero(especially with duplicate protection if that is still a thing). All of my current exotics were destroyed with crap rolls. Make it expensive if you want. Make it cost 500 cores to max out the stat total. It would truly make exotics exotic. Exotic armour pieces should not hold back your build because RNG.

Just pull them from collections when you need them. They’ll be updated.

1 ReplyOur entire collection is worthless. Can't reclaim anything worth a damn.

1 ReplyLordRockinghamm You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but,Some creatures of the Hive strain against the Will of Oryx. Alak-Hul the Darkblade is one such. Long ago he fomented rebellion against the King and attempted to take his mantle. Alak-Hul failed and now awaits the “mercy” of the Hive. Given the chance the Darkblade will step in to take Oryx’s crown. We must not allow another prince to rise.

As a main hunter i always run nightfalls and raids with (obviously) tether+Orpheus rigs, and now I can't have either sniper rifle or grenade launcher scavenger because f*ck you. wrong affinity. need void. and the one from the collections is arc. Get a new pair to drop ^^
-
Agree. Just trying to get 60+ stat armour is a ball acke as well.
-
Tbh the only armor worth keeping before was ones that had enhanced perks or Grenade/Rocket reserves. That said, Some of the old stuff is still useable, All those enhanced perks on the helmet stack with the new ones on the class items. Same thing with the enhanced boot perks
-
4 RepliesDid that really surprise you? It's what Bungie does. They do everything possiblr to extend the grind.
-
Lol. So true.
-
2 RepliesExotic armor should at least have a universal elemental affinity to set them apart from legendaries, although I’d much prefer they didn’t have the elemental affinity on anything.
-
2 RepliesYear 1 versions of items have lower stat totals. Simple as. Go into the Collections tab and you'll find that all Exotic armour there has a stat total around 50, +/- 3. They're low rolls, but that's the price you have to pay for it being always accessible.
-
I agree, but it also made me realise that I had a lot that I never used. Year 1 stuff is 750 and would need infusing anyway, so I deleted all the year 1 armour and retrieved the stuff I do use on a regular basis. I also use Xur again to buy armour with my main toon for the other 2 characters which means they're getting a higher level gear boost. Having said that I do have 1000s of shards to spend. And it does make opening exotic engrams interesting again: "please be armour, please be armour. . ." But I know what you mean. It's a bit like the start of D2 all over again where instead of the Tower being destroyed with all our gear it's been hit with the Bungie version of an EMP!
-
I mean until you can pull from it beyond y1, the entire collections system is moot and worthless.
-
Can you describe to me how exactly the armor you have is useless?
