Did I misunderstand the concept of Exotics?

Lately, it seems, the Exotic class weapons have had a nerf bulls eye painted on them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Exotics [i][b]supposed[/b][/i] to be a little OP. Armor and weapons. This is why you can only equip one at a time. It it why it takes so long to level up and upgrade. It's supposed to be a little OP. Lately, Bungie seems to have nerfed the Exotics to the point of being near Legendary class. Yes it does give an advantage in PvP and PvE, but isn't that why we busted our asses off to get them? And if its too much for a player to compete against in PvP, then that individual can always leave and find a new match. Point is, that advantage and seeing that advantage in action, is what inspires us to try and go through the effort to get one for ourselves. IMO, if they nerf the Exotics much more, they might as well lift the restriction of how many can be equipped at one time, because they are on their way to becoming Legendary class. Exotics are [i]supposed[/i] to be a little OP, that's what makes the [i]Exotic[/i].

  • The sad thing there are plenty of legendary weapons that are better then exotic. For example, the thorn,bad ju ju, super good advice are horrible exotics.

  • Exotics should be OP. Exotics should be the best thing ever. Are they? Not really. Some are but most blow. Destiny needs to revamp their weapons. But first they need to make new planets, missions and for the love of christ, stop making the daily, weekly and herioc missions the same missions from the story but with more hp!

  • What if exotics where at a limited quantity. For example there are only 5000 of each exotic item. So actually not everyone would have a certain exotic. You eaither would hate it or love it, idk but thats what i used to think exotics where going to be like. I mean everytime I go to the tower sure enough everyone atleast has one exotic, even the guy who doesnt actually have one has one in spirit thats just how not rare they are lol

In return I guess I can send you a friend request and if you need support for raid or whatever I can help out. I'm a pretty active player so there's that lol. Or if you wanna do it outta the kindness of your heart that's cool too :) Also for 360

      • How about no? Loading crucible matches takes so much time that during every instance of it I ponder to just quit the crucible altogether. Why should I have to disconnect because of one guy having an unfair advantage? Think of it as you like, but one guy getting fun at the cost of others is not only a bad idea, it's also making people stop playing. It's easy to say if you don't like it then leave, but how about instead of that Bungie gives us proper matchmaking and people can tick that "No exotic gear" option, so you have to have proper skills to win? How about "Only players with exotic gear" and you can be someone else's b****, see how much fun you're having? I say this as someone who has exotic gear.

          • No exotics are supposed to be [i]unique[/i]. That's why they get a special name and their own backstory. They are not supposed to be extremely powerful. The unique perks they get May make them very powerful, but the weapons themselves aren't supposed to be, hence the need to nerf one if it gets too powerful damage wise

            • Think of it this way; Exotics are pretty much cool-looking Legendaries, but with abilities/stats that make them more unique.

            • I'm more annoyed that they Nerfed my Range Finder/Shot Package Judgement VI, I spent a lot of time upgrading that, and they just remove Range finder and stick grenadier in it's place, the least they coulda done is let [i]us[/i] choose what upgrade replaced it, or something. Now my shotgun is half as effective, and Auto Shotguns run more Rampant. (at least I got to keep Shot Package, which is the one I would have chose if I had to pick one)

            • Personally I agree with the nerfs. But I think it was a tad much - esp in PvE. Though if I'm being completely honest, I have to say that I think the nerf is good for PvP. I kind of wish they had separated it more...say Vex Mythoclast will be nerfed 34% in addition to regular crucible scaling when used against guardians but still let it remain somewhat OP in PvE. Maybe nerf it 15% in PvE so it still feels like a beast that was hard won.

I don't think it deserved that much of a nerf, but it def needed one.

              • They're supposed to be comparable to legendaries, but with some added quirks that make them feel OP. E.g. The bonkers range and infinite ammo on icebreaker. I can only assume the overall DPS, on paper, of the VM was nerfed to a more normalized level.

              • I guess Exotics will just end up being like the Deadric Artifacts from Skyrim. Sure they're pretty and hard to get, but it's just that, an artifact. The Mace of Molag Baal won't be any better than a Dragon Bone Sword. This won't be any different.

                • Of course exotics should be the most powerful, as theyre the hardest to obtain, but i agree that sometimes the difficulty and reward dont equate. The thorn for instance, I've got 3 better exotics whilst in the process of doing the thorn bounty. The vex needed a slight nerf but not that big

                • Exotics are pretty much legendaries with special/unique perks. There not supposed to be god weapons.

                • I feel like exotics slow me down... Every exotic I've used has something about it to make it suck. since when do the best weapons in a game HAVE to have something bad about them? Thorns reload speed sucks ass. Red Death had the worst firing rate ever, hell I have legendaries that kick ass so I use them instead!
