The other day, I looted "The Fulcrum", the hand cannon from the Future War Cult. I took it for a spin in PvE, and found out that I really love it. It feels just right and I really enjoy playing with it. I'd love to take it to PvP games, but we all know that PvP is all about Thorns, Last Words and such.
There's nothing wrong with that, and of course, people love their Exotics and want to use them. Also, even if you use exotics in PvP, 3 of your armor pieces and 2 of your weapons are Legendary. But let's be honest, the Exotics weight very heavily on your performance and your play style.
This got me wondering, though: wouldn't it be nice to have a space where your legendary setup would have all its significance? So I thought: how about a Mp playlist where Exotics are not allowed? It's cool, because it gives players a choice, and players who love their Exotics can keep playing "regular" games. But for players who would like to try something a bit different, they could try this out.
The "inferno" playlists have shown that changing little details in the game can have a huge effect on the experience. I think using only Legendaries could be interesteing. All of a sudden, your base armour and its perks would have all its significance. No more "double grenades" or "longer arc blades". Your Intelligence and Discipline levels, your "faster melee attack speed" or "increased grenade throwing distance" would become a lot more meaningful all of a sudden.
Your strong weapons would not be called "Thorn", "Truth" or "The Last Word" anymore, but maybe "The Fulcrum", "Vision of Confluence", or "Vanquisher VIII" (love this one!).
I think it'd be a nice way to bring something fresh and different. What do you guys think?
[i][b]Edit:[/b] please stay on topic. The topic is: would you play a special playlist where Exotics are not allowed, for a bit of fresh air and change from the "original" playlists. The topic is not which Legendary is the best/your favourite/the one you'll destroy me with.
The legendaries I listed are the first ones that came to mind. I didn't put much thought about whether or not they'd be the ones I'd use. If you are intersted in discussing which Legendary weapon is the best, please create a separate topic, because I personally don't care.[/i]

That sounds awesome we should make a playlist with no specials or exotics or heavy
-
*Readies that NL Shadow with full auto that does 1 more headshot damage than the vex*
-
I use red hand and it does better service than thorn. People say torn is op but I rarely get kills. Red hand is a solid 3 shot kill
-
-
Id play it! But I honestly don't mind the way the game is. Out gunning a thorn or last word is a great feeling and it adds a challenge in my opinion.
-
That's be nice but nothing permanent. Funny though I normally play using all legendary weapons and armor. Have every exotic but choose not to use them in PVP, I all about having fun and all. Actually correction, I bust out NLB a lot some days lol
-
How about you all git gud and stop complaining all the time!
-
This would be nice but I do just fine using my red hand ix. Sometimes I get out gunned but that's just because my opponent did his job better than I did.

7 RisposteHow about a weekly roll 'restricted playlist' like week would be Scout Rifle and Fusion Rifle only. No melee, grenade, super, heavy... then roll it each week like Pulse Rifle and Grenade week 2 etc.
-
It'd be nothing but messengers.
-
No exotics and no supers.
-
I like this idea. I've been wondering what it would be like, with no exotics (although I do love my Skull of Dire Ahamkara in pvp).

2 RisposteHonestly, Normal crucible should be like this. Normal crucible as it is now is supposed to be "level advantages disabled" but in reality it only half is. Character levels are disabled, but weapon levels aren't and they should be. When it comes to the normal crucible playlists, all hand cannons should do the same damage, all auto rifles do the same damage, all snipers do the same amount of damage and the special abilities of weapons should not be active. So a maxed out weapon will function as if you just bought it new from the crucible quartermaster guy in the tower (no perks being active). This also applies to exotics, no exotics would have their special abilities. Example: Icebreaker doesn't have explosion shots or regen ammo, invective doesn't have regen ammo, Thorn doesn't have its burn or piercing, Hawkmoon doesn't have its luck in the chamber rounds, etc etc. This way, normal crucible comes down to who has more skill instead of who has the better weapon. And it makes things like Iron banner and Trials of Osiris more interesting because now those truly are "Level advantages enabled" as all weapons would have their perks and abilities back.

16 RisposteHow about a no hand cannons game mode, oh wait, then you would need skill to play in it :)
-
It not that we're complaining about the weapon It's so many exotics with special perks If they made this game mode it would bring it closer to the beta *drops mic*
-
2 RisposteI would prefer an all exotic playlist. No legendaries allowed.
-
3 RisposteThe messenger isn't that op You can still counter Honestly if you complain about it just go play something else
-
1 RispondiModificato da RejectedMind: 7/2/2015 4:33:01 PMI think every mode should have a "Pure" playlist. Control Clash Rumble Salvage Elimination Skirmish Doubles Combined Arms Trials of Osiris (PLEASE) Also, a new playlist called "Faction Wars" Only weapons from factions can be used, or Queens weapons.
-
2 RisposteRemove motion tracking and supers as well. Motion tracking and radar are too much of a crutch in way too many games now days.
-
Yeah Datto said that playing at e3 was his best crucible experience because there weren't any exotic
-
I would take it further and have set loadouts for just the weapons and map pickups where specials spawn, one heavy spawn, supers charge at 20% normal rate. That would be an awesome playlist.
-
It would be a cool game mode where there no abilties including no melee. Just the khvostov . The khvostov is your only weapon but, it is an exotic version and if you get 35 kills you get an evolving key . Which unlocks the ability to evolve the khvostov like husk of the pit.
-
I think that only trials weapons should be allowed in trials. If you didn't have them you could "rent" them when you get a passage. You could still loot and keep them from drops and adept primaries would still be a flawless reward.
-
2 RisposteI've been saying this for awhile, we [b][i][u]need[/u][/i][/b] a no exotic and limited super playlist
-
Temporary rotating playlist called [i]barebones ...[/i] would be nice.
-
1 RispondiNothing keeping you from rocking nothing but legendaries. That what cracks me up when peeps bitch about this or that being too easy..Just drop light level. Or peeps bitching about crap that Xur sells..Then don't buy it. This forum is so hilarious..!!!
