Okay, hear me out. Exotics used to feel "exotic", right? That's because they were much harder to get. The only reliable sources for them was nightfall, raid, and xur. So that's a pretty limited number of chances at an exotic.
Fast forward to year 2. We have Three of Coins, which can give you an exotic from any Ultra or at the end of a Crucible match. Personally, on average I get an exotic for every 5-10 3oC I use.
Now, I'm not saying 3oC are a bad thing. They're actually pretty cool and I enjoy the concept. However, they are far too accessible. My idea is that 3oC should ONLY drop from nightfall, and Shaxx's weekly Crucible bounties.
There will be people who have thousands of Strange Coins saved up, and probably a ton of 3oC as well. They will be able to get all of the new exotics in the first week of Rise of Iron (obviously not quest related ones). Those same people will then probably come to the forums complaining that they have nothing to do, even though they're the ones who ruined it for themselves.
So basically, the fact that Xur sells 3oC for such a cheap and reasonable price really made exotics much less of a rarity. I want to be EXCITED when I see that exotic I don't have. I don't want to get it at Rahool every time because of engrams. I want exotics to be exotic again!
Do any of you remember the reactions people would have when they got Gally? Or Icebreaker? I want those days back.
If you agree or disagree, tell me what you think. I'll be happy to see all of your opinions on this subject.
Edit: So, maybe make 3oC more common as a drop alongside this idea. This way you don't get as many useless ghosts and class items. So, it'd be making the nightfall worthwhile and making exotics feel more exotic. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Edit 2: Still a fair amount of hate. Okay, so how about this: every nightfall will give you 3-5 3oC guaranteed, alongside your normal drop. That's 4-7 strange coins worth in today's market. That way if you do 3 nightfalls in a week, you're almost sure to get at least 1 exotic. Like I said before, I think they're a great addition to the game. They just have a far bigger impact than they should imo.

I feel the 3oC should stay, simply because you need exotics to upgrade the exotics you have and enjoy playing with. I play PvE mostly and I use the Dragons Breath as my exotic heavy. It's currently at 377. If I can't find another one at 400 (when I get there) then I'll kinda be SOL. I like the 3oC because it increase the amount of exotics I can get to upgrade the ones I have more easily

Exotics are getting phased out. Bungie can't balance the game with them so say goodbye to them when Destiny 2 drops. Btw, all exotics are no better than Legendaries now.
-
3oC makes it so people can actually compete in the crucible
-
Every exotic is the same, not so exotic.
-
4 Respuestas3oC was the biggest mistake of yr2 imo. Giving the whiners what they wanted (everything, immediately) didn't stop them whining but it did devalue exotics for everyone.
-
Stopped reading after you blamed the lackluster exotics on the 3oC. Sorry, but you're so wrong, Al Gore is laughing at you. Exotics don't [i]feel[/i] exotic because they're essentially just slightly higher tier legendary weapons with unique perks that get nerfed every month or two because the player base can figure out their ass from their elbow (in case you're one of these guardians, you shit out of your ass you clueless [b]fu[/b]ckwit, learn how to counter shit and stop expecting a handout from bungie). It's not 3oC. It's the exotics themselves.
-
At the moment there are better legendary weapons. Other than mida who uses exotics. Doctrine / Arminius 1ks / longbow Grasp / hawk saw Conspiracy / party crasher Eyasluna Unless it a mida or sometimes zallo I never get killed by an exotic. I will use mida or Suros R every now and then but that's it
-
Most exotics got nerfed and some legendaries are better. I havent bought 3oC in a few weeks and have decrypted a couple exotics from purple engrams. Rarity does not make something exotic unnerfing or buffing them back to previous would.
-
Exotic doesn't mean rare though. Just unique.
-
3 RespuestasAll exotics should be tied to quest lines in my opinion. It should be difficult. It probably isn't a popular opinion but everything shouldn't be as easily accessible or random as it currently is. Maybe incorporate legendaries that are direct versions of exotics with either less powerful unique perks or have the main one omitted. Somewhat along the same lines as adept vs normal Trials drops.
-
I couldn't tell ya the reaction for ice breaker cause I bought it from the Xur first time he sold it and thought to myself I hope I didn't just waste the only strange coins I had because strange coins used to be a hard fought for commodity.
-
You'd change that tune if you ever went 20+ 3oC without a drop. Been there, done that, RNG has no mercy.
-
No because it's random number generator so it's luck and a lot of people don't have luck.
-
4 RespuestasOut of all my kings fall runs I've gotten two exotics Two I'm sorry but the new drop system is absolute horseshit and if they take 3oC out they need to make a exotic a 100% drop chance from raids.
-
So don't buy them
-
I see where the op is comming from but I like how they are a bit easier to get. I wouldn't have an issue with there being a limit on the number you can buy and carry each week. Still get some exotic drops and still keeps the exotics somewhat of a grind to get. It is crazy that I can kill Ultra on a patrol bounty and get an exotic!
-
3oC are great. Bungie don't change 3oC. Buff the OP and make exotics special again. Exotics are not special, because purple guns are better than yellow guns.
-
17 RespuestasAs right now the only ways to get RNG y2 extotics are: -raid -nightfall -the true meaning of war(bounty) -his eyes upon you(bounty) ...so 3oC is a need due to lack of reward activities. And yeap you should buy 3oC to get jaderabbit and zen meteor...
-
-
Just eff off with the random loot grind. Let us just buy what we want... still a grind to get the fake game money to buy the thing but at least it's not a pointless grind like it is now.
-
Editado por Tim vdB3: 7/15/2016 10:10:37 PMOnly if bungie increases the drop rates of exotics in all activities. I got a exotics now and then from the crucible, raid and heroic strikes in year 1. But now I'm not getting anything except from nightfalls, Xur, weekly bounty and three of coins. Does anyone have the same problem?
-
Don't use 3oC if you don't like them and you can have the challenge [spoiler]problem solved[/spoiler]
-
1 RespuestaYou are absolutely right. This game shouldn't be fun, it should be another goddamn job! Because clearly I don't have enough crap to do during the week without one of my few forms of entertainment become a fukking chore that I can add to my "to do" list.
-
2 RespuestasMan, Bungie is damned if they do damned if they don't basically. Three of coins were created because of people complaining they can't get exotics. Now exotics are too common.
-
Warning: I only read your 1st sentence. Bungie is trying too hard to make the game good for scrubs who hardly play the game anyway so it ruins the entire game. That's why they made exotics lackluster, on the same standard as legendaries. So f*ck bungie
-
3oCs are fine people need to stop complaining. There were no y2 exotics to get that excited for anyway....
