The whole equip only X amount of items thing needs to die. It's okay with exotics because it's just one and there's not hing else to interfere with that rule. Adding more to that just makes loadout decisions a lot harder than they need to be and in terms of balance...jeeze.

  • Maybe, but we can all tell there's something off about the teir system. We go ape over raid armor, but no-one's excited to get eon tracer or KD bogatyr after the 100th time. Similarly, some exotics are completely neglected and with blanket nerfs and special ammo changes, they could benefit from a drop in rarity tier...to a new tier that actually means something when it's dropped. It bothers me that exotics never felt special to me, I had three before I had four legendaries in vanilla, and outside of those awarded after a quest, I don't remember how I got them.

  • Well I guess it's different for some. My first exotic was one of the best experiences I've ever had. First VoG run. First time hitting exotic chest. First Exotic. Gjallarhorn. I didn't even know what I had gotten. lol There's a few others that I will always remember. I just honestly don't think changing tier systems will make getting a gun feel any better. It'll just be another color. It'd be like a placebo effect if it did work.

  • Think of the two weakest exotic guns/armors you know, one per slot, and then imagine if you could equip them both instead of an exotic. That's what I'm proposing, sort of a soft-buff by dropping them a rarity tier into mythic instead of keeping them exotic and unable to compete.

  • But I don't equip those weapons not because they're exotic, but because they're garbage regardless. Even if they're legendary, I'm never using Zen Meteor, Hereafter, Zaoulis, etc. I get what you're saying. I just don't if it would actually have the impact you think.

  • Maybe not, maybe an actual buff is in order for some guns not too far under the power-curve. But some guns are just too fargone. Boolean Gemini comes to mind, it's a scout with battle runner, high caliber rounds and unflinching built in...just a smidge above a legendary, not really worth the quest to get it, and it's a pity because of how cool it looks. I really just want to align the power of gear to the ease/difficulty of obtaining it. Probably won't be necessary if they polished the balancing system in destiny 2, or abolished the 3oC and Xur, replacing him with regular quests noobs can go through to get their first exotic.
