So this is an idea founded upon the Final Fantasy XIV Relic weapons. It’s a long, grindy Quest to build a weapon for your character. In Destiny 2, we need an exotic quest that takes a long time, but you start off by choosing a weapon class (Auto Rifle, Scout Rifle, Sidearm, etc.) and you get a basic White rarity weapon of that class. Like with the Solstice sets, it’s rarity goes up with each step. Then, you complete the quest step and choose its fire rate (I like 600 Round Autos, etc) and then it becomes a Green. Another step, and you upgrade it to Blue, and pick it’s barrel or scope. You progress more (and the key here is that you get to use these weapons as lower rarity alongside other weapons or an exotic) and eventually, the final step is what makes it Exotic, and you pick from a list of unique perks that don’t exist on any other weapons. This allows players to build their own God Roll exotic with their own tastes in mind. PvP would require a separate balance but this quest should take an average player a couple months to finish. The casual players have to be able to progress on their own pace, and the hardcore players can be satisfied for a time by putting their noses to the grindstone. Each new expansion on a given year can allow you to build a new weapon with a different list of perk options. Give players a choice to cash in their old Relic weapon to skip the first step or two of the new Relic. This is easy content that can make extra mileage from old activities in the game. It can’t be game breaking, though. The hardest piece is balancing it, and figuring out the means for players to go back and edit their old choices of Barrel or scope or perks. But Destiny 2 kind of already has trouble with game balance on weapons, so your only hurdle is making it so Raid groups don’t require players have their Relic weapon built a specific way that’s considered “the meta”. It’s designed so any player can make their own God Roll exotic of their favorite weapon type. I hope this idea comes to fruition, I’ve been talking it over with my Clan for a couple weeks and we all agree that the idea would be fun for all of us to work towards. Thank You! I haven’t thought out an idea to create personalized armor, yet, but that could be an interesting topic, though it would nearly mimic the Solstice Armors. I’m curious of peoples’ thoughts as well!
