What's the point of deeming weapons "Exotic" anymore Bungie?

Iv'e been wanting to make a post about this for some time but haven't gotten around to it. It's obvious why armor pieces are exotic and should be for good reason. Guns such as Suros Regime, Hawkmoon, Hardlight, and a few other primaries right now just don't feel exotic... even Thorn. Why even bother using a Hawkmoon now when Eyasluna and Palindrome just outperform it in every aspect?Why use an Auto-Rifle when a high RoF pulse rifle is basically that but better, or a Doctrin? Basically we should just go ahead and remove some guns from the Exotic pool and drop them down to Legendaries or give them Life of the Exotic, because of they've been neutered. I don't know if it's the nerfherd who should be blamed for this nonsense, or Bungie for caving in and actually nerfing the primaries because someone most likely got outplayed but blamed the primary for being "Too OP".

  • If I remember correctly Bungie once said that exotics not necessarily are better then other legendary weapons, they just feel different, hence the word Exotic.

    • Bungie need to figure out how to separate weapons and armor pve from pvp for destiny 2. Whatever nerf or changes they're making to fix pvp, is have a big negative impact on pve. I remember mythoclast, hawkmoon, suro, we're all great pve and pvp weapons. But since they nerfed it due to it being too "op" in pvp. It affected pve as well. People stop using exotics in general.

    • The reality is, exotic should have different tuning than their archetypes so that all exotic primaries are viable in some form in both PvE and PvP. It would really help weapon diversity. But I suppose that would be too much work.

    • Exotic weapons now = reskin of older content. Bungie is cheap and we eat it up like new yogurt except the yogurt is years old. Bungie smarter than all of us.

    • how strong it was isnt the reason why its exotic. what made it exotic is the unique perks it has. like thorns caused dot damage, ghorn tracking bomb clusters, hawk moon random bonus damage perk, and etc. this would be a better version of a legendary perk or something a legendary dont have.

      • I was (and still am) all for a Legendary Playlist, with all of the modes available. Bring the Exotics back to their former glory and add this new mode, for those who are so concerned with getting their asses.... ....ahem ...who are struggling, with being bested, by the weapons/armor. I wish this was at least tested out (Like Inferno)

        What I don't like is the fact that I keep getting the same exotics over and over again. I'd rather it be harder to get exotic engrams and drops but make it to where you can have a high chance of getting something you don't have. I've gotten Hawkmoon the past 4 times I've decoded a primary engram and it's ridiculous.

      • I remember when my g horn dropped about a month and a half into the game, got it from a nightfall and I didn't even know what it was or what it could do. I remember when I got my frost exotic from xur, my first exotic ever, ice breaker. I had created a new character, my Titan, just to get that last strange coin that needed. Now it's gone. 3 of coins ruined the game and exotics are not only easy to get now, but they are not rewarding to receive. Only a few stand out, and even with ghorn you can just do a quest that isn't even hard and then boom everyone has one. Exotics should have VERY different perks that do something that legendaries can't. Right now, most exotics just do something that legendaries do but only a little bit better. It used to be that those perks were specific to a gun, ex: red death and suros regime. Make exotics great again!

      • I'm no genius but, maybe have separate load outs for pvp and pve gear that can only be used in their respective game modes? You know, like have shity balanced gear that doesn't perform well at all for pvp and exotics that perform amazing for pve. Hell they could even put pvp only exotics that only drop in the crucible. Like I said though I'm no genius. It could be an idea for destiny 2??

          • Just so you know, Bungie wants exotics to look and sound exotic, not be OP. This was stated long ago.

          • I wish I would've stayed up till 1:30 in the morning this morning to finally get this awesome game changer called "Thorn." Instead, I was up till 1:30 finishing "some quest" to get 4/4 in my book.

            • This will be a reoccurring theme for the life of destiny. They want you to be able take the weapons you find and use them in the crucible but they can't make those weapons too powerful because then that's all people will use. It's sad because we could have some really cool exotics and abilities but with pvp as a consideration they'll never be able to really let loose.

              • For secondary & heavy exotics, they should have elemental options. Have all 3. Void on ghorn would be cool. Arc on spindle...

              • I don't understand how bungie can't nerf the weapons in pvp only. I remember when the mythoclast was a beast. Literally anyone no matter what skill level would dominate pvp with it. Then bungie over nerfed it and killed the weapon for both pvp and PVE. If they just made changes to make pvp equal there would be no problems.
