Agreed, they just used to feel more powerful and exotic. I agree with what Attackhelicopter said, they should be amazing but have flaws, so you choose what benefits and sacrifices you make. Not just exotics though, I feel insufficiently powerful all around. Skills, weapons, and armour. Some exotics are ok, the super good advice changes made it even more hilarious to use, the swords are great, tlaloc is wonderful. But all the complaining and "balance" changes due to crucible, etc. have screwed things up so much. Destiny is still enjoyable, but not as much fun as it should be.
