Datto on Twitter stated that all upgraded and new exotics will start with a base damage of 300~.
The only thing that you will really be missing out on are the unique perks.
This makes a lot more sense regarding the decisions you must make when choosing to reset an exotic.
EDIT: Datto also mentioned in his most previous stream that fellow Destiny streamer, "KingGothalion", spoke with Bungie employees about the exotic reset. They said to him, apparently, that it will take less XP to level new exotics

1 ReplyEdited by Orion027: 12/5/2014 5:41:32 PMWasn't this already explained in the last couple of DeeJ posts? I'm mean that what I took from them. Not trying to be a jack-wagon, either.

5 RepliesIf they start at 302 what is the max damage? 350?

2 RepliesI love watching Datto's content but until we see an official post from Bungie saying this is true I will not put too much faith in it. If it is true it will take some of the pain away but not all, taking all the perks away and making us re-level still will not be fun.

1 ReplyThey have 302. Update your post.

6 RepliesDon't forget if you get a old exotic after the DLC drops, it is already 2.0. No fee to pay to make it 2.0. This is an even bigger slap in the face to players who already have most or even 5-6 exotics.

5 RepliesAlso do you need to have the DLC to upgrade your exotics through Xur? Because I will not be able to obtain the DLC straight away but I do wish to start working on my guns straight away

10 Replies300 without the perks that makes em truly Exotic.. Bungie is purely money hungry on focus for design they just pissed off a bunch of people when all they needed to do was add another Bubble on the weapons and if it required another exotic shard and a stupid amount of XP I would of taken that. How can these guys not have these concepts applied or is it overlooked due to the focus on pure greed? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

1 ReplyEdited by NLC Reaper: 12/5/2014 6:00:45 AMSo how is the armor affected? If the max defense for my helmet is say 300 that gives me 30 light, if I reset it will is start at 300 defense and 30 light that can uprgraded further, or is the light level going to reset? Everybody is talking about how the damage output on weapons will stay the same, I'm more worried about how my exotic armor will be affected. If anybody heard anything, will they post on here and let me know?

302 God dammit

This is acceptable

11 RepliesQuestion, first off is my vex going to need an upgrade, or is it gonna stay the same? Second, is glimmer needed for upgrading exotic through xur?

11 RepliesIt would be nice if you had to have your exotic maxed out before you could upgrade.

Edited by Rustymoose13: 12/5/2014 1:20:21 AMThis is why people should get so angry, bungie has been teasing us for weeks, they aren't going to screw us over just give us a little more to do, I currently have 10 exotic shards as I removed a few exotics I will never use and kept the ones im ready to upgrade and yes they are all maxed so looking forward to getting them maxed again
-
1 ReplyI don't understand the outrage. You don't have to trade in every exotic. I'm going to leave the ones I don't use maxed out and let them be. But for the few that I actually use on a regular basis, I will be trading in to reset. Do you guys really use THAT many exotics to outrage over it? I have every single one finally, But I only use less than 5 of them.
-
9 Replieswe don't know if new exotics get the 300 base, only upgraded exotics.. now the new exotics might also start at 300, but there isn't any information on that so far
-
It's 302. Rejoice!
-
302, actually
-
21 RepliesWill the light level increase with the exotic or will the light cap still be at 30? Only raid gear will get us to 31/32 right? Thanks,

yeah just read the weekly update. they were going to tell us all about it even without the unnecessary outrage
