  • Instead of resetting the progress of our exotics upon upgrading you should've just added another bubble tier in the upgrade tree and charged us (as an example): -2 exotic shards -5 motes of light -50 of whatever mats -5000 glimmer This game is already on the verge of being overly repetitive and monotonous enough. Please don't add more tedious chores to stoke the fire.

    • Is an exotic shard guaranteed if you dismantle a exotic?

      • I believe exotics should be upgraded automatically or have an extra slot added to upgrade further. I'm very confused about the armor situation. So will the new vendor armor be better than VOG armor and IB armor? Isn't that sucky to us that raided or grinded through IB to get to 30? It will make the VOG obsolete to new players as well. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems Bungie is just putting veterans and beginners on an even playing field with the exotics and armors.

      • I'm wondering how it works for the ps4 exclusive weapons like hawkmoon, xur doesn't sell those or exotic bounty weapons sooooo how's that work? We gotta wait till xbox gets hawkmoon to upgrade it?

        • I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but isn't the simple and obvious solution to let us all "re-roll" legendaries via gunsmith, quartermasters, vanguard, etc... just like we did with in the Iron Banner? Sure, have some sort of limitations so people don't go nuts or find an exploit... but offer a re-roll nonetheless.

        • It's quite irksome that my favorite legendaries will become useless. It's good to hear that raid gear will be more common. We still want gambling.

        • Compared to most mmorpg games destiny gear and upgrading doesnt take much time at all to xp and gather mats... My only complaint is people doing raids really needa step there skills up.... 95% of people doing them take 2hrs plus on the same checkpoint, good players are hard to come by, dumb down the raid for these fools...they cnt handle strategicly doing something...

        • Ok heres some feedback 1) no one wants to reset there exotics just add another increase damage option to the skill tree or if thats to hard just make xur actaually fully upgrade the weapon no reset invovled. 2) your increasing the nightfall difficulty to 30 please dont or atleast make it like the weekly with an optional level increase so we can do the nightfall twice and get double rewards im tired of not getting anything good and haveing to wait a week to try again. -Sidenote: raid matching plz

              1) We shouldn't have to level up our gear again! Like most people have said, when the last node with the exotic shard is upgraded, it should be aligned with the max damage/defense as the new exotic gear from the DLC. However, instead of penalizing our progress, let us grind it out through getting an exotic shard!This should be more challenging than just buying from Xur. If Bungie wants us to grind it out again, do so from where we already have put our time and effort in and not disregard our progress. To get an exotic shard you can dismantle an exotic. Or complete a "quest line" similar to an exotic bounty where there are multiple steps/tiers to accomplish! Way better than doing a weekly strike or nightfall! 2) Raise the GLIMMER cap to 100,000 since upgrading costs more now. If not, no cap. Let us earn everything we find or kill. 3) More VAULT SPACE. Instead of all three categories on one page, have one page per category, 60 items per category! 4) For the love of all gamers worldwide, the option to SKIP CUTSCENES!! Thank you, come again!

            • Repeatedly, it always seems to be the most convoluted, punishing system that's added to this game. Rather than the simple "Add one more damage bubble" etc. systems.

                • Making us grind all of out exotics back up to fully upgraded is not adding value or content. Fix this shit, it's appalling

                  I'm seriously hoping that one day someone will make a documentary on this fiasco and finally reveal the game that it was supposed to be and why that game was murdered and replaced by this highly addictive but totally vapid and endless grind. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!!

                  One question. Real simple. Everyone's asking with a mountain of explanation. Why do we need to [u][b]re[/b][/u][b]-level[/b] our exotics?

                  DeeJ, From the posts i've read up to this point, it appears that the OVERWHELMING majority of the player base feels 2 things: 1) all the grinding they have done for the past 3 months with the aim of leveling their exotic weapons and armor has been a FRUITLESS waste of time and effort. 2) they are being PUNISHED by the new upgrade system. I posted a thread on this awhile back, but i'll say it again. Why does Bungie continue to push out things that appear designed to PUNISH the player base?

                  • Spending a shard to bring them up to speed is fine, but completely resetting the entire weapon's upgrades? Why? That's a complete slap to the face. I understand that logic stands that you can't just spend a shard and have it fully running faster than a weapon or exotic you find in the raid, but the [i]entire[/i] upgrade path? Is that really necessary? I'm still working on getting all my exotic weapons up to speed, and now you're telling me that I would need to do it again? Do they even need to be maxed to be upgraded to the next raid tier? Is there no point at all? Was the shard I spent on the last damage upgrade wasted? Why not have a compromise, at least let the initial ability progression stay but either reset the last three damage upgrades or introduce three more.

                  • This is garbage, they don't know how long people have poured into this game just to upgrade everything and now that is all gonna be washed away. What happens when the next dlc comes out? Are we gonna have to reset everything again?!

                  • Deej, why couldn't Bungie just add more upgrades to the preexisting upgrade trees? seems like a better idea then resetting all of our progress

                    • [b]The thought of all my legendaries gradually becoming obsolete is deeply saddening.[/b] The legendaries are more varied and less common than the exotics so you can get more attached to a particular weapon with the perfect perks, watching them become collector's items is going to be brutal. I really wish there was a path to upgrade them. [b]Also, why should I play destiny until The Dark Below releases?[/b] -Any progress I make on exotics will need to eventually be reset to enable them to remain viable. Thus making any grinding foolish if I already have strong enough weapons for the dlc. -Any new legendaries I find will be outclassed on the 9th by the new legendaries in the expansion. -At this point the only reason to play would be to stock up on shards/energy (or to level characters/weapons if you are a lower level) I'm a bit bummed out dudes.
