Featured Exotic List is a terrible idea
I don’t understand why there is even a featured list? Exotics are meant to be special so there shouldn’t be a predefined list at all. With Avant Garde modifiers why does bungie force players to use a set of exotics they decide on. Let the players play the way they want. The list shouldn’t even exist. Restrictive and terrible idea

Because to bungie limiting the player is the main way to force "engagement" and "difficulty" without actually making different builds viable through thoughtful balancing and scenario design. Keep in mind the "buffs" for using new gear are really nerfs for using old gear.

2 回覆由Guardian, Archon Of Light編輯： 8/14/2025 9:44:03 PMI suggest making it so we can spend 25 ascendent shards to make any exotic "Featured" Or any legendary also

Not just the featured exotics, but the whole "new gear" mechanic is awful. Its basically sunsetting light, since not equipping new gear in all slots reduces your rewards. Power level, drop rates, and tier levels all seem to be effected by your reward multiplier. They should remove this featured before Renegades drops.

This post 1000%. Fixes: Raid exotics should be farmable, instead of 1x per character per week (3x) All exotics should be "featured" thats why they are [i]EXOTIC[/i] Unstable core "mathematics" why does it take 10x the light level increase e.g. 100 power level increase is over 1K unstable cores. that takes minimum 3-4 dismantles. Ridiculous, the weighting is way off Raid and Dungeon content: RaD gear is at 200, RaD are not rewarding, there is only 1 new raid DP which gives new gear above 200 (if already above 200). Vault Space: I know they said its coming in Renegades, but they really should have included this with the new gear push. All those adepts I farmed in Season of Heretic are now sitting there. There are only a few new weapons. SO many different rolls and weapons are not viable due to "not being new" even though they are DANG good weapons. This would be fixed with removing Avant Garde modifier. What needs to die in a fiery pit: Avante Garde modifier Grappler modifier "Featured" exotics

I figure it's because during testing they probably came across a set up with the artifact that probably caused a very small weapon pool to actually be peak so they decided just choose themselves which ones would be peak this time

3 回覆See you’re complaining, but I was excited when I found out there were “ featured” exotics that I could use for avant garde.🤷♀️ Made it much easier.

4 回覆I'm glad i finally beat an exotic mission after a long break. Did Encore. Died a few times on pinnacle but 90 minutes for a first time run. I must have gotten lost 4-5 times for 5 min each.

4 回覆It wouldn't be so bad if it rotated more often and didn't penalize your score multiplier to high heaven.
