  • Will old exotics still drop? And if so will they have the upgraded damage or old?

    • So will xur still sell the old exotics with the new stats? Will exotic bounties grant the new stats? If yes then please justify this scenario. Player A gets exotic from xur/bounty and levels it up. A month later, they have to trade it back in at a cost of glimmer, shard and xp to get the upgraded damage/defense. Repeat level up process. Player B gets exact same exotic from xur/bounty after dlc, levels it up and has max damage/defense without having extra hoops to jump thru.

      • My problem with this upgrade system is NOT that I will lose the time and experience that I put into the Exotics, but rather, that I have no incentive to put any effort whatsoever into upgrading the Exotics until I trade them in. Lately, I’ve been doing the daily bounties solely to level up my exotics. Now that I know I will just have to reset them, I will not put any more time into upgrading them until after I have traded them in. This seems counter intuitive to me. I would think that Bungie would want a system in place that would encourage a player to spend time upgrading an item at ALL times. Need some reason to continue putting time into a weapon before trading it in, especially if it takes a few weeks for Xur to offer a trade for your desired weapon! Maybe adjust the system so that if the Exotic is maxed out, the user is not required to trade in an Exotic Shard and Glimmer? Or what if the more an Exotic is upgraded before trading in, the higher the max stat is on the new version of the weapon (i.e. - Trading in Thorn with no upgrades yields a version with a max attack of 310, while trading a maxed Thorn would give a version with a max stat of 330)? This second option sounds a little too “grindy” to me, but I think it would still be better than the current system. It would give me a reason to start doing bounties again! Just my 2 cents.

          • The fact I have to do the boring grind ALL over again is bull and makes me want to chop myself in half and eat my own spleen.

          • We need to be able to upgrade our old legendary gear and weapons ..... That would make the game amazing !!! It would be unique and a step in the right direction ... Idk how this is hard to understand

          • The main problem here is the communication of this change... A week before the update when we have already salvage our duplicated exotics and leveled multiple for every character we have... And who in the destiny populatiob are you trying to make happy? The hardcore gamer with 300+ ascendant materials/ 3 lvl 30/all exotics leveled with even some duplicates that are bored and hope the DLC will give them another 600h of gameplay? Im spending 20-30h a week on destiny and at the end I was pvping and leveling guns for fun...after next dlc content what should I do... probably not much because it will all be lost again... Find a way to keep our progress and announce that in 3-6 months the system will change and explain how it will work. We will then decide what we do with our ressources/time.

          • I agree with and understand the reset buuuut it'd be a little easier on us if only the damage nodes reset and we could keep the special nodes that make the weapons or armor fun to use. Just my thoughts

          • DeeJ, please tell the guys at Bungie to add to the exotic weapon tree rather than resetting it all. God, I spent [u]days[/u] getting my exotic stuff upgraded. 'Cmon man. Throw us a bone (don't give us the bone).

          • U could at least make it easier to upgrade the weapons that were restarted. Double xp for those or something.

            • Judging from the picture from the post, i wonder if xur will be selling dlc exotics. If he does those who dont have dlc wont be able to buy it and have to wait until he sells non dlc gear

            • Bad idea deej. This last update kinda made players content. making us reset them is a bad move. 1 step forward, 3 steps back bungie. Tsk tsk tsk

            • It would be neat if special skins were applied to exotic gear that was maxed before upgrading them. It would also appease some of the Shinji Ikaris in this forum.

            • Omfg you dont HAVE to start over that is your choice i mean shit cant you read? you have the CHOICE to restart your weapon....this right here is an opportunity and all RPG games have a system like this or atleast almost all of them.
