Upgrading Exotics (The Solution and Compromise)

There are a lot of complaints about how our exotics reset if we choose to upgrade their damage/defense rating. I think that instead of a full reset only the last four damage/three defense nodes should be reset. This makes it so you still need to grind out the higher damage/defense rating but you still get to keep the upgrades that make your weapon special. Let me know what you think or tell me your idea on how to fix this. Edit: Maybe the glimmer cost for Xur to upgrade the exotic could be reduced based on how much the exotic has been leveled up. Edit: The other idea is that when Xur upgrades the weapon he simply adds a new set of damage/defense nodes to your exotic. - It is a valid idea, but I personally don't like this because it will make it harder to max out an exotic you have not leveled at all yet. Edit: I would like to turn the original post into a collection of ideas for Bungie to see. Please post your ideas and explain them.

  • naah... this is unnecessary... grow a pair, Jesus.. If you want to upgrade your shit it resets... get over it. go grind bounties it is beyond easy PLUS now you just go buy the mats, you don't even have to farm anything... EXOTICS DON'T EVEN USE SHARDS!.... There has to be consequence, you guys are being babies...

  • What about this we turn in our current exotic armor and in return we get level 32 capable armor which we have to then upgrade from scratch.

    • I hardly have any complaints but this right here is something that makes all of my grinding seem like a waste of time. Bungie needs to do something about it

    • Here's a suggestion: Just reset the last three nodes and make them need more xp to level up, problem solved.

        so yeah you are saying people who leveled them up should have the same xp than those who didnt? Yeah you are super smart man......They should just add 1 or multiple extra circle what ever you say only main upgrade matter the other are just extra dmg so people like me and my friends which spent a long time to level them all should keep the progresse we did....there no way someone who never used it should be at same xp than other...wtf is wrong...its like finishing school getting a job the same one the guys is doing since 15years+ and making has much money has he do for the same job with the same diplome...

        • The way I see it, we have been given an opportunity to keep our cherished loot relevant. Were getting all new equipment, a new raid, and two new levels to achieve. In other RPGs, we usually don't have the option, or care. We get our new item, the old item gets sold, we beat the boss, get a new item, ad nauseum. I am happy that we have the opportunity to bring our items with us to the next tier. It might not be the best way. We could get it for free. But in RPGs, the best, top tier gear is hard to get, and never free. I am excited for new gear. I am excited for a new raid. And you best believe I'm bringing my ice breaker with me.

              this is basically to continue upgrading them. but nope they want us to start from scratch AGAIN. that's [b]inconsiderate[/b]. how long did i grind spinmental for to fully upgrade my ice breaker? how many raid runs to get ascendant energy? this was like the fourth week of destiny. not cool, man. it's just too inconsiderate. i understand you want me to keep playing your game but -blam!-, RESET the exotic i want to upgrade? assholes.

              • Everyone's mad because some casual with an Icebreaker or Thorn in his vault collecting dust will be on the same level as us idiots that spent time maxing the weapons. Make it a requirement that it needs to be maxed to upgrade and I'm back to being happy.

                • The exotic system is perfect as it is. Be thankful they gave us an option to upgrade our exotics and just whining like ungrateful children. Who cares if you lose a couple of hours and some material? Are you really that petty?

                    I don't like how Bungie announced this until less than a week before the DLC was released. Was anyone else trying to max out as many exotics as possible before December 9?

                  • Solution 2 is get all new exotics, copies of what you have, keep them until xur, and then trade in and level. Only issue is RNG is crap

                    • Icebreaker, Hawkmoon, Thorn, Fatebringer, Ghallaho, Skull of Dire, Achlophage Symbiote is all I need. All other exotics can GTFO.

                      • My question is will the Mythoclast be able to be upgraded to the higher attack rating or is it stuck at 323 while I'm sure the new exotics will be well over that making it useless.

                      • From what some people have been mentioning, when you choose to upgrade/(reset as some people say) the base attack of that weapon will now be 300. So it will have the same attack as you currently have just not the perks. Youll just level up to the new fully upgraded level. Still having the base 300 wouldnt be as bad as going back to the new 274 base attack.

                        • I like all the ideas everyone's come up with. The simplest is probably to reduce trade in cost. Exotic shards are a rare item and it takes me at least a week to collect 5000 glimmer.

                        • I thought they said the re-leveling would be faster? I don't mind it cause it allows my exotics to still have a purpose and not become obsolete. We all worked hard on our raid gear and maxed it out to reach 30. Why does it not bother anyone that their gear is now useless/obsolete? Probably because people just like getting new gear period. And yea we are getting new exotic weapons. Which is nice. But alot of us still like our Icebreaker, Gjallarhorn, Hawkmoon, Suros Regime, Thorn, Plan C, Thunderlord etc. We aren't ready to move on from them. Their solution? Re-level it as if it were a new weapon. It's not that big a deal. Especially with the new material economies in place. Plus you may discover that some exotics aren't as important to you and you may decide to leave them at 300 damage. *coughs* Invective

                          • I agree with you, there are so many better ways to go about this than the way they are choosing. Giving me this new material to level up exotics all the way, that's cool I guess. Then two days later you tell me that I will now have to pay to reset the gear which I've maxed out already and it starts from scratch? I'm having a hard time thinking about re-doing everything I've done. I've gone from playing everyday, with over 400 hours invested, to now trying very hard to find a reason to continue.

                            • I think this is a good idea, at least this way we don't loose the exotic perk for the weapon and then just focus on the damage upgrades from 300 up to 330 or whatever it will be.
