Exotic weapons and armor are supposed to be so powerful that Destiny's creators imposed a limit on the number of Exotics a person can use at one time. I can understand the reasoning for this, but in all honesty, Exotic weapons aren't much better than their Legendary counterparts. A fully-upgraded Exotic and a fully-upgraded Legendary have the exact same damage rating, and I often find myself preferring certain Legendary guns over Exotic ones.
For example, the Exotic hand cannon "The Last Word" is a great gun and it's very fun to use. The game mechanics for the weapon make it so you spin the gun around on your finger when you change weapons, and it even shows your left hand pulling back the hammer every time you shoot, just like in old Western films. The actual statistics for it, however, aren't much better than Legendary hand cannons.
In my opinion, the Legendary hand cannon "The Devil You Know" is actually a better weapon than "The Last Word". It has better Range, a higher Impact rating, and a larger magazine (12 rounds as opposed to 8). When it boils down to it, some Exotic weapons are more like [b][i]novelty[/i][/b] items rather than over-powered ones, which makes it really frustrating when you can only carry one at a time.
Please make sure that the Exotic weapons are actually better than the Legendary guns, and that doesn't mean making the Legendaries suck, either.

The low stats are to try and balance the unique perks, can you imagine an automated TDYK? But yes, you're right they balance it a little too much in some cases.

3 Respuestas"Better" is subjective depending on play style.

1 RespuestaThere are two categories of Exotics, honestly. There are the more common kinds that have their situational uses (Bad Juju, Last Word, Truth), and the kind that can radically alter the game's balance (SUROS Regime, Gjallarhorn, Ice Breaker). The latter are simply much smaller in number. I'd say there are about four "Gameshifters"

I kind of agree

6 RespuestasEditado por brunoandraus: 1/11/2015 12:43:09 AMI completely disagree with you. The damage number that appears in the weapons info (331 when Fully upgraded) may be the same, but the weapons are drastically different. Take a look at their stats (impact, stability, etc) and you will find out that the exotics excel most of the legendaries.. About your comparison about TLW and TDYK, i think that you are reffering to pve use. Because when it comes to pvp, TLW destroys every other hand cannon except for the hawkmoon in my opinion. Ps.: im not talking about no land beyond or the 4th horseman, cause those two are worse than rare weapons lol And last but not least, the perks from the exotic guns are WAY better than legendaries, and that makes them better in most situations..

This would be nice however if a gun is good or stands down people always call for a Nerf.
