9 RepliesSome random thoughts on armour. Exotic armour is freaking awesome, hard to come by and so exhilarating when you see that golden bloom beside your name. Until that is of course you get your first one. Then it just becomes irritating. You get your first helmet, chest piece whatever looks cool. Dump shards into, now it's super strong and Max light! So you finish a nightfall strike, your pals get shards and strange coins, suckers! I got a wicked piece of chest armour, looks amazing! But wait, it's useless. In fact I'm worse off than my friends. There is no way I'm going to shard my exotic helmet after dumping 18 shards into it just to wear a piece of chest armour that will send me back 3 light levels. (unless I only equip it while claiming bounties) So I can hold onto useless super cool looking armour or shard it for 2-3 shards. WTF!? Why can I not use the best looking armour? It's made redundant and pointless, which is a real shame. Consider bungie probably put the most effort into making this armour. Consider this game was geared to be partially about having a personal look/style and we all kinda look the same. No one's uses exotic gauntlets because they don't have as high of a defence as chest or helmet. Consider this situation sucks and your efforts to get exotic armour are in vane after you get your first piece. Consider that your friend that got coins or shards in the strike are actually better off than you. It's unfortunate even from bungie's point of view that the best looking things you created mostly get turned into little purple discs. My super simple solution. Make it so only 1 piece of exotic armour can hit light level 30. Sure. You choose which one. You still need raid gear to hit level 30. Sure. But on your way there you could sure look cool as hell showcasing your bad ass hard to get exotic gear. I'm not here to complain, if it doesn't change it won't change much for me. I just think it would be awesome!
