Just to start off I would like to say that by no means am I saying to bring back the Thorn, but I've been seeing a lot of people posting about how exotics got ruined in Yr 2 and I completely agree.
If you are a Yr 1 guardian you remember how towards the end of Yr 1 Iron Banner had become "Game of Thorns" because it was just so over-powering, but remember also how hard it was to get the Thorn compared to some exotics nowadays? You were lucky enough just to get the quest to become available to you by random RNG!!! And then you were put through some of the most excruciating tasks in the crucible, and to top it off made a Strike so challenging that you had to recruit two of your best pals just to get through it? Ohhhhhh but was it sweet once you had accomplished one of the toughest quest lines in the game to this day, to get one of the most loved/hated OP weapon (before it got nerfed to oblivion) the game had to offer. It actually felt like a trophy to me, one of which I still carry around with me till this day, the only other weapon that could give the notorious Gjallarhorn a run for its money in terms of popularity.
In the end all I'm trying to say is: Make exotics great again Bungie. There's always going to be people bit%%ing and moaning about the game mechanics because they aren't winning or the game isn't bending to their will like they want it to, but there's sometimes where you guys gotta lay the Hammer of Sol down and say this is what we came up with and this is how it's gonna be, similar to how you guys decided not to nerf the warlock's firebolt grenades...
Edit- Can you imagine also if they had put a timer on that strike similar to Black Spindle/Lost to Light mission O.o

Editado por Rylor Threev: 6/15/2016 6:52:09 PMI remember how hard it was to get it, but I didn't cared about how op or how trash it was, it was just a trophy to me, never used (only when I was pissed with the game of thorns), all I want it's the vex back

I do miss my Thorn... I'm horrible at PvP, and it took me a very long time to complete that portion of the quest. The strike was hard, but completely worth it. Thorn was, by all standards, a true exotic. Not everyone could get it, it took patience and skill. I wish all of the exotics were like this. Not necessarily having the PvP portion, but hard to complete missions and objectives to show off your skill. If you have it, people stop and go "oh snap, he has _______." Having Exotics like this allow each guardian to actually become a legend. It shows you have done things that very few people have, or could do.

I like exotic quest lines that don't make me wait a week to get to the next step. Wonder when the devs will realize this is a stupid decision.
-
1 RespuestaI totally agree. Being my first exotic, I have a special spot for thorn. The exotic quest made it feel like we really earned the weapon. Aesthetically it's one of, if not the coolest looking guns in the game. The sound of the gun is so distinct and the lore is really great too.
-
Thorn? Nah...void kills? Matador 64 with ShotPackage was all you needed
-
1 RespuestaExotic quest lines are something that should be used more often in the game. Only change I'd make is make the quests unlock more through exploration. Than pure RNG.

3 RespuestasEVERY EXOTIC NEEDS TO HAVE A SPECIFIC QUEST TO GET IT

1 Respuesta..."you had to recruit two of your best pals just to get through it?" ? Your THORN IS FAKE if you asked for help.

Why is everyone so against Thorn coming back?... it sucks now. I want it back because nastolgia.

Tldr: BRING THORN BACK BUNGIE

1 RespuestaEditado por asmr goddess: 6/14/2016 3:48:49 AMthey absolutely ruined thorn. What's the point in the EXOTIC PERK if the burn does barely any damage whatsoever. People just have "PTSD" from it and hate it no matter if it's balanced or not. Just needed to finally get that off my chest and you mentioning thorn gave me the opportunity

9 RespuestasThe exotics are supposed to be OP that is the point of them, that's why we can only use one, if bungie is going to make the equivalent to legend aired let me use a thorn, ice breaker, gally combo then. Otherwise make them OP like they are supposed to be. The 13 year olds need to stop complaining so much when they think a exotic is unfair, go play COD if you can't handle it. Exotics need to be OP otherwise they are pointless.

Nerfed to oblivion? They still didn't fix the damn thing! I [i]still[/i] rarely use mine because they never fixed the real problem with it!
-
Bring it back, it's been nerfed.
-
6 RespuestasI hope they make the new ghorn like thorn because not everyone will have it and make it special a lot like sleeper or spindle
-
I stopped reading at nerfed to oblivion. Thorn is still incredible.
-
It's weird cause i was talking to my friend about this yesterday xD. Good post man!
-
Exotics got ruined in Y2 because they removed the missive bounties and they relegated them to a consumable instead of just being found, which made them easy to get by everyone and pretty much removed any excitement or rarity

1 RespuestaEditado por SoldierMedicTY: 6/14/2016 2:03:02 PMThere was more to it than that as well. Thorn was steeped in lore. As was TLW that's why those weapons felt special too. As Dredgen Yor's gun using thorn made you "feel" like the bad guy. TLW was the Shin's/Jaren's weapon so it was the good guys weapon.

1 RespuestaExcept they have nerfed firebolts twice now...

I remember when the April update stream aired I started to create a shrine/grave for thorn😭
