Are we still mad about elemental primaries?
Just came back to the game after a nice healthy break and wondered if the lack of elemental primaries is still a thing?
Then I had an idea - we have chromas, and now weapon ornaments; why not have a "Golden Age <insert element> weapon element" which could be used, much like an ornament, to activate an element on an exotic weapon. You could also change it if you had another weapon element.
Imagine a Hard Light with arc, like it should actually be.
Or a void Gjallarhorn
You get the idea.
I reckon this is probably too late in the lifespan of the game now but would have been a welcome addition, seeing as a lot of the exotic weapons are more or less bookends.
EDIT - I didn't, and don't want this thread to be seen as one of the weekly "give me my elemental primaries back" threads. I wanted to suggest something that would let us have them back, whilst giving us variety. Some suggestions are better than others, this one maybe not so much lol...

Modificato da Lankee Clipper: 9/28/2016 1:34:10 AMNot mad, but I find it funny that Bungie took them out. The reason they gave was to "promote diversity" of primary gun usage. The funny aspect in my mind is that everyone I play with now uses fewer primaries than before. I, for example, used to keep a firefly scout, one solar, one arc, and one void primary on me all the time to make sure I was prepared for whatever happened. Now that elemental primaries are gone, I use EXACTLY one primary for 99% of encounters. I feel confident that there are thousands that, like me, find it counterproductive given Bungie's intentions.

Not particularly, no.

Not mad about it, but considering the amount of -blam!-ing strike grinding we are all having to do to get into the end game content. It would be really handy and make things so much more enjoyable.
-
I was never mad about them. But people go crazy over things like that.
-
4 RisposteI wish they would bring back elemental primaries in some form. Even if it is in the form of a telemetry or a core that gives a gun a temporary burn. The biggest problem with the last dlc (imo) was that the raid primaries were not worth the time. I ran the VOG and CE considerably more times then Kings Fall just to get the primaries.
-
I would be happy if they just had a primary exotic for each element. We already have zhalo, we just need a void scout and a fire hand cannon or sumshit and id be stoked. Kinda dumb to just have one elemental primary
-
1 RispondiThey brought back Gjallarhorn, that's all I need. If they bring back elemental primaries, that would be like extra credit on a test, not needed but good to have. If they don't bring back elemental primaries, I would not lose any sleep over it and I would just move on :/
-
1 RispondiThe decision was silly in the first place. Remove elements from primaries but yet Zhalo is by its very nature is Arc so we still have an elemental primary. Its just bungie trying to increase the grind and make the game last longer as usual.
-
1 RispondiI think raid primaries should be elemental damage. Just like it used to be. There is less weapon diversity now than before anyways - so that argument is invalid. That is what made the raid worth it - was the bad-ass weapons. Now? I have a 4 mediocre shotguns, and a rocket launcher with the only good perk being the bonus damage to fallen. I remember finishing VOG and getting the Vision. Was a big deal! Now i get a raid weapon and i just take a look to see what i infuse it to. Pretty sad that the raid weapons are just used for infusing.
-
Great idea Hut Bungie don't listen
-
4 RisposteI think it forces us to play more strategically and as a team. Elemental primaries kind of make it easier on ways of prefer to not rely on. I still use Zhalo during Arc burn but don't find it debilitating to have just kinetic damage as the main for primaries. I understand your offering something different than just putting elemental damage on all primaries. Just sharing my thoughts buddy 🙂
-
It's not like the elements do anything elemental. I couldn't care less.
-
5 RispostePeople keep saying certain guns were only used because of their elemental burns. That's not the only reason Y1 raid weapons were used so much. Fatebringer was used more because of its firefly perk than anything else. VoC was used because of how you could shoot it. The perks are what really made VoG primaries. The elemental burns were icing on the cake. KF's weapons were shit compared to Y1 raid weapons, because their perks were garbage.
-
Modificato da MowMdown: 9/27/2016 8:55:35 PMAnother idea is once the final perk on exotics are unlocked they should have whatever element is equipped as your super Edit: or just have one specific exotic primary that has elemental damage the same as the super element type

Not right now because of the new content but it would be nice to have back
-
I believe that Hard Light doesn't actually shoot Arc out, instead I think it was super-heated polymer or something
-
14 RisposteJust have every exotic primary have a burn on them. Maybe the option to chose between two, similar to Murmer. It would make all exotics feel far more "exotic." My only belief as to why they didn't do this is because people would blow through the content too quickly. Well heads up bungie people have already blew through your content. All things considered this would make that big of a difference.
-
1 RispondiI miss fatebringer/VoC but I think they made a good decision to get rid of elemental primaries. Having them limited PvE load out choices too much. It also greatly limited the effectiveness of anyone who hadn't gotten these weapons to drop.
-
If bungie uses your suggestion it would just be worse. 10 silver dust for elemental primary.

-
I just feel raid elemental primaries gave us more of a reason to grind for them. Regardless people still grind for them anyway I just feel it truly made the raid weapons feel like they were worth your time. I wish out of everything maybe make an item from the raid make it a super rare drop but it allows you to turn any weapon into an elemental.
-
Simply make any of the elemental weapons an exotic. Stops anyone using any of the better heavys or specials. I find it quiet contradictive that they remove the better guns in the game to even out the use of them in other activities and yet give us an arc exotic auto rifle which is used for every arc burn.
-
Better yet... Give all primary weapons elements. If the reason why they removed elemental primaries was because of the weapon selection bottle neck they supposedly caused adding elemental burn to all weapons would have solved the problem just as well. In fact it would have solved the problem better because it would have made the community happy. Sure, there would be the "elemental weapons are supposed to be special and now they aren't so I am pissy" crowd, but as a whole I am sure everyone would be happy to be able to use their favorite weapons to their fullest potential.
