I mean swords are cool and all but I was excited that we might get a new melee weapon from all the promo art and instead it's a Relic.
It was plastered all over the promotional material but it was a letdown. Sure that means it can be more powerful because it degenerates and is a Relic but I would rather have one I can carry on my back and use to chop Vex, Cabal, and Hive too.
Call it Iron's Fury, give it Solar damage, and have it use ammo differently than the standard sword. Whenever the axe is "empty", it loses the Solar damage and smacking someone/thing the blade only does half of the stated damage.
Just a quick idea to broaden our Exotic armory.

People already spam the god damn swords way too much on bosses

5 RespuestasThe axe does slot of damage it would break the game if it was equipable

Where in my initial post did I say it would be a complete copy of the Relic? ... Exactly. I didn't. This weapon is completely hypothetical.

2 Respuestashow bout they buff the sword to work identically to the axe since it seems to be similar to it anyway

6 RespuestasEditado por ferial56: 9/23/2016 9:13:46 PMWhy not make all relics a consumable? Here's an idea, have Xur sell an item for each relic in the game, scorch a cannons, VOG shield, etc. Each one costs 20 strange coins, and 10 of the enemy item that activates glimmer. The aegis shield of the vault doesn't have a timer not ammo, so it would work the way a hive sword would, and lasts on a timer. For Ex. Scorch Cannon: Transmat a scorch Cannnon to your location. 20 strange coins. 10 ether seeds. 1000 glimmer. When you consume one of these, it will be on cooldown for 10 minutes, and will drop down for you to use it wherever you are. With this way, enemy relic weapons are no longer locked within their missions, strikes, etc. We can bring the relic weapons wherever we want (except the crucible.) and use them whenever we want. It gives them freedom. EDIT: The relics may need to be reduced in damage to equal something of a heavy weapon, but a bit higher so it can't break the game.

Thats reserved for the master iron lord, there can only be one.
-
We get more axes in some patrols and public events so that kinda evens it out, but a void/arc exotic version would be nice.

23 RespuestasThe story for Rise of Iron sucked. Why did Jolder lock the door. Why couldn't she simply just lock it behind her. The whole thing is -blam!-ing terrible. If the armor didn't look -blam!-ing awesome, I would give this expansion a 3/10. With the new gear sets and the raid probably a 7/10.
-
It wouldn't surprise me if the axe turns out to be part of the new raid. But it would be cool to get an exotic axe, maybe another quest to get it.
-
I actually thoroughly enjoy it being a relic. I just wish that it didn't disappear so fast when empty. I'd love to just shred huge mobs, get some hits on a boss and then go back to slamming mobs.

Editado por EVIL VENOM: 9/23/2016 11:59:30 AMI disagree the axe should be a legendary in our inventory not an exotic If they would let us equip two exotics at the same time I wouldn't have a problem agreeing with the axe being exotic But yes the axe would be cool to have permanently

1 RespuestaEditado por Im SlowestSloth: 9/22/2016 8:13:36 PMI ran out of the final mission with it after hitting self destruct thinking yes yes yes I've got the axe and it's a -blam!-ing beast ! Only to find out that I got a -blam!-ing sword instead and don't get me started on lord salad face keeping jolders helmet 😖.......... More disappointing than destiny's story
-
I would have rather gotten the axe instead of the sword as well but considering you can pick up the axe on patrol like the original sword of crota i don't see it happening anytime soon
-
Well the sword play started out as relics. After time, I bet Bungie thought that, hey, this could really work! So ta-da, swords became a thing. It could very well go the same way, I feel. We test out the use of the battle axe, Bungie ghost tweaks it a bit (Or creates a new one entirely) and bam, we have usable axes in the game. I like this idea, purely for the sake of having another melee weapon. I mean, why not? It'd be fun!
-
5 RespuestasEditado por TheShadow: 9/23/2016 1:59:59 AMI agree, but do you know what you are really asking? Look what Bungie and the crybabies did to the hammer. Bungie knew it would be hell dealing with it and knowing the "balanceing team" Lmfao. So no, we can't have fun things in the name of "balance"

4 RespuestasEditado por joey big guns: 9/22/2016 2:09:06 PMHaha. I only ran it with my hunter so far. I figured it'd be like the gunsmith and the weapon would be different by class. Typical Bungie, plaster an axe all over the promotional material for the game but you only get it in special circumstances and only for that task..smh, lame. I figured Hunters get a sword, Titans get an axe and Warlocks would get one of those dainty looking fencing swords to go with their "pretty" dresses 😜.
-
What if it is obtained only through a mission similar to Black Spindle. Dope. The community would go wild.
-
Agreed, if the axe has proven anything it's Destiny NEEDS more melee weapons of different types.
-
Absolutely!
-
I was hoping it was but i dont complain. Welp

Who says we are not?

Couldn't agree more. ...I mean. ..Raze Lighter?
