Bungie And Their Flaw In Exotics
So, with the recent gjallarhorn nerf and such I thought I would write a post discussing how Bungie has messed up exotics.
Exotics should be overpowered. Simple as that. Now you might say, "they are just weapons with 'exotic (un-ordinary)' perks." I could live with that, however, the problem is that bungie knew exotics were going to be overpowered. That is why they put in the barrier of only being able to carry one exotic.
If they removed the barrier and said we could just use them for their perks, that would be fine. However, the fact that they are the most difficult piece of content to acquire, means that I should want to use them. But I don't. I have never considered using pocket infinite because it is trash in pve and only slightly less trash in pvp.
The reason g-horn is so coveted is because it is one of the very rare exotics that is worth its slot. It is a powerful, amazing gun. Is it too powerful? Maybe but imagine a Destiny where all exotics were on the level of g-horn.
How many different ways would there be to beat endgame content if when going into pve we actually considered using an exotic primary (not just for novelty perks like running the abyss with Mida) instead of constantly using fatebringer.
This would solve the whole problem that g-horn created with elitism because no matter what exotic you had, you could build a strategy around it.
At no point and time should you ever be disappointed to get an exotic and unfortunately this happens far too often.
Anyways, that is my 2 cents for the day.
Tl dr; Buff all exotics to match g-horn instead of making them weaker.

14 RisposteEveryone is blind, the reason Ghorn is overused is because of Heavy ammo synths. If heavy ammo was scarce then we wouldn't be nuking everything!! These synths either should've never existed or should've never been sold by Xur. Everyone and their mother has 500 synths in their inventory, so whats the point of ammo dropping?

5 RisposteIm pretty sure Hopscotch Pilgrim is more rare then Ghally
-
2 RisposteI find the G-Horn rather overrated...
-
4 RisposteBack when the Vex was first found and insanely overpowered, Datto said in his review, "Exotics should [i]feel[/i] overpowered, not [i]be[/i] overpowered" (likely not exact; I'm going from memory).

1 RispondiNo cause if you make everything more powerful then eventually everything becomes too op and now you've gotten to cod where everything has a super fast time to kill. they need to slow down the current time to kill. The nest is needed.
-
6 RisposteThe only problem I have with this idea is that it will make the PvP meta require a primary exotic. Not because the other weapons can't compete but because of how the ammo economy works in PvP. In other words you will always have primary ammo whereas the other two you will not. So you will always be at a disadvantage if you aren't running an exotic in your primary slot. You could kinda apply that to PvE as well, but it isn't nearly as pervasive a problem in that at all, so I wouldn't really.

3 RisposteOk so exotics are supposed to be overpowered, right? So why dragon's breath and truth are not as powerful as gjallarhorn in pve? The nerf is needed.

16 RisposteModificato da Big_Zimm: 7/27/2015 7:38:26 AMIf you made a list for the best weapons in each weapon type you'd find exotics on the top of every list. Obviously there are legendary weapons that rival exotics but for the most part Exotic weapons are preferred over their legendary equivalents. Gjallarhorn will still do more damage then any other rocket launcher even after the nerf.

1 RispondiIdk lord of wolves is shaping up to be one helluva exotic even with its stupid perk, it just wrecks. Don't let that range stat fool you. It won't win against matador/party crasher/felwinters though so watch out for those.

I agree

Agree completely! Love it

2 RisposteWell in ttk game play and things you can see people up to level 50, maybe that means bungie is taking away that barrier, or they are just adding armor with more light
-
7 RisposteIn my opinion there never should have been exotic primaries to begin with.

3 RisposteHahaha no. Don't be a moron. Exotics should offer unique options that can be found in no other weapon, but they should [b]not[/b] be overpowered. MIDA and Bad Juju are examples of good exotics. They are better than their legendary counterparts, because of a unique bonus added by their perk. However, said perk does not make the weapon unbeatable by legendaries. And then we have Thorn and Ghorn. You can word the perks whatever way you want, but they really just say 'This gun kills significantly faster than all other guns in its archetype. This gun will constantly and consistently outperform legendary weapons in its archetype by such a wide margin, said legendaries no longer have a place in high level content.' And that's why TLW, Thorn, and Ghorn needed a nerf. Because they outperformed every other weapon by such a stupidly wide margin that you were handicapping yourself by not using them. Exotics are meant to add diversity to the gameplay. Everybody using the same handful of guns in a game with dozens upon dozens of options is not diverse. Just think about that for a second.

9 RisposteYou couldn't be more wrong. Look at all the exotics getting a nerf. They are exotics where there is nothing unique about them at all - instead, they just do more damage which NO exotic should do. Mida Bad Juju Patience and Time Truth Great examples of what exotics should be. They don't do more damage than legendaries but they offer unique build options. Want to fix Thorn? Get rid of DoT. Make it statistically the same as other HCs. Make it pierce shields, bubbles, overshields, radiant skin, etc. No guns unique perk should be "kill faster and better". Which is exactly what Gally does. The nerfs to TLW won't be enough. They need to address the perks.

4 RisposteSomeone doesn't know what power creep means
-
Bravo my man, bravo *slow clap*
-
Bungie is a flaw
-
5 RisposteI do believe before they shit on Suros, that was the most used exotic primary. So really it goes back to the whiners who didnt have suros. Same for gally now..

1 RispondiTheres most likely gonna be new overpowered exotics.

15 RisposteThe last time I used an exotic primary was Universal Remote to bumrush stuff with my Titan. Exotic primaries in PvE are like an urban legend... sure they're possible, you've even heard of them before, that one guy that used to run MIDA in Crota lamps. But you've never seen anyone use it. Ever. Exotic? Lol
