To be honest, the exotics aren't powerful enough to even require such a restriction IMO. And they definitely aren't rare enough either.
Some of them are quite powerful already and some are getting buffed... I also feel like their rarity (or relative lack thereof) of is not an issue because of the restriction. You can't simply collect more and be more powerful in a vertical sense. Also plenty of players haven't seen their first yet :P
It would be sick to have as many exotics equipped as we want - I think then we'd truly feel powerful and we'd begin to see insane levels of varied playstyles.
It is interesting to keep running into this perpsective... for me this would be an extreme detriment and outside of a potentially hilarious novelty pvp mode, make endgame a lot less interesting. SUROS Regime, Ice Breaker, Pocket Infinity, Gjallarhorn, and Invective have all been called OP in isolation. Combining them without penalty would get silly- and again, besides a novelty mode to show how ridiculous it felt in practice, make the game a lot less interesting.

The exotic restriction also ensures that legendaries are relevant endgame gear instead of a simple tier that needs to be replaced.
My exotic is my primary weapon. And one mission per week is pathetic, frankly. Also even blues do stupid damage with those modifiers, making exotics pointless.
I don't know what you mean exactly but leveraging the modifier is critical for the Nightfall which also has some of the best rewards in the game, is also sometimes present on the Weekly Heroic and Daily Story, and is present in each Queen's Kill mission- I imagine it will be taken advantage of in future content as well. Implying the damage output with it active is comparable between exotics and rares is laughable. I also should have clarified that I didn't mean merely the Burn modifier, but usage per situation with elemental shielded enemies, especially when Epic is active without the burn.

"Your exotic" doesn't have to be your primary weapon, you can rotate through different setups as the situation calls for and always have legendary backups if possible. In Nightfalls especially, an Exotic special weapon of the burn element (not to mention raid Legendary with that element if you have one for primary) is game-changing.
 
Earlier today (ps4) it wouldn't let me close Destiny down on PS4. It would just get stuck on closing application. Also wouldn't let the disk eject or power of via buttons. Had to unplug to solve it.

Anyone else get that issue?
 
I'll be willing to help on the raid level 28 Hunter. I think we played together last weekend Navy. I got some cooler guns since then as well.

Forgive me if I mistook you as someone else, it's been a long week.

Cool. I'll post something on here later tonight to see if we can scare up a group. Poddlestrike and a few others seemed interested.

And I think we did play together but with a three-week old at home I honestly haven't slept enough to remember my own name...
 
Has anyone seen the face of a Cabal? I tried to see what they looked like by shooting their helmets off but when they die they fall face first. From the side they kinda look like orcs. Is there an art drawing of their face somewhere ? Or a better in game shot
 
Not played PvP much since the holiday connection was terrible, so first game of the night using a leveled up Thorn:

LoL'd.

Not that issues but during the weekly strike my disc ejected itself by itself. After that the ps4 wouldn't take the disc, had to power it down and then it finally worked.
 
I would assume it's because every player, regardless of level, can work on the bounties with the Fallen and Hive. Both are on Earth.

Annoying, but the best reason I can think of.
I'd buy this if Heroic Bounties didn't exist asking us to do missions on Mars. Heroic, at that. Throw in the always amusing Salvage bounties when the mode's not up or Queen / upcoming Iron Banner ones that ask for cloaks / marks / bonds and shaders when we have zero xp with the faction....

lance reddick does the best intros for the strikes.
He really does. I love Nathan Fillion...platonically....but Reddick is the best.

Meaning Titans are the best.
 
Why are most Exotic weapons useless?!

I have the Last Word and compared to the Devil You Know in PVE, it is a joke.

DYK has higher impact, double the range, and a lager magazine!!!!

Shouldn't TLW with a higher fire rate and lower impact have a larger magazine at the very least?!?!?!?!?!??!

All of this translates to a gun, that in terms of raw PVE damage output needs a major buff.

You're joking, right? By the time you fire 1 shot of the TYN, I can empty 3-4 from TLW. The impact difference is not that significant. I'll give you the magazine aspect, but that thing kills so fast you have to really try hard to die in a 1vs1 or 1vs2 fight. And on PvP..don't even make me go there. That damage boost and accuracy from hip fire is borderline broken in how good it is.

It's one of the best weapons I've used in the whole game. It wrecks everything. Besides, cool gun spin for extra swag points and cowboy shooting style makes everybody jelly.

Got it around level 18 from a legendary, it's my baby and I love it. Still wanna get a Hawkmoon, though.
 
So I hate to do this, but can anybody help me out with the lvl 28 weekly heroic? I'm right before the final boss and am having a terrible time with him.

I'm a lvl 27 hunter. My PSN is Dr_PoopMonster. I know some gaffers are on my friends list, so just join up if you want (my fireteam is public).

I'm a 28 hunter, could probably help, but haven't beaten it either.

Edit: thought you meant nightfall, should be able to do it without much of a problem, having one more would help

someone found one in the last OT... I don't know how to search for it.

they ugly

May I get a peice of this action? I'll be on after 6pm EST. GT Magus Cimarron
 
Most of the farming is tedious. They should be giving those mats out when you complete missions and strikes on those particular planets.

Also when you PvP on those planets. It would be nice if they'd throw a +2 or +3 of the materials in the rotation for possible end game rewards.
 
I'm picking up my ps4 bundle in just a couple of hours, and I couldn't be more excited. Not sure what class I am going to go with yet. Any tips or advice when getting started?
Try out every gun. See what suits you. I am more an auto rifle man myself.

At level 4 go and pick up bounties immediately. It is the fastest way to level.

Don't worry about loot early on it will all be replaced by level 20.

Don't confine yourself to a skill tree. Both are viable.
 
Well, as Sunbro who is already rocking Sunbreakers it's a pretty disappointing Xur visit. My brother got the Red Death so he's happy. I'm saving my coins for an exotic Sniper, though. With the next weekly heroic Strike I'll be sitting at 24 coins.
My wallet is ready!
Next week: More Sunbreakers and Bad Juju...

Run missions at your level. Look for vanguard bounties that complement the missions you're taking, and pick those before running the mission.

Also, co-op is much, much more fun then playing the game solo. Do it wherever you can.
 
Is red death worth it since i have the suros? I was going to get the hunter helm from xur but got lucky from the engram and ended up with the sam fisher helmet.

I was thinking about getting the titan helm instead of red death since my defender is almost lvl20...
 
Remember guys, passing on Xur's wares for a weekend might feel disappointing as it's happening, but it just ups your buying power for next time around! If you legitimately ever, ever find yourself thinking "ugh, I have TOO MANY STRANGE COINS," buy a piece to dismantle for shards.

Not if u have suros. But depends on how badly auto rifles get nerfed I guess
 
I dont know but I'm only good at control and salvage like really good :) but suck hard at the rest. one shot deaths are the worst. dont know ifs there shotguns handcannons are snipers....maybe fusion rifles. shit

I really wish bungie would implement a kill-cam. I know it will never happen but sometimes I just want to see their technique, and see my mistakes. It's a learning experience.

Yeah, I bought an Exotic helmet just to dismantle it. It felt wrong, but it had to be done.
 
Asked earlier but didn't get a response:

Is it possible to get raid gear that is for a different class than the one you are rolling with during said raid?

In other words, could my Hunter get Titan or Warlock raid boots as loot?
 
What mats do exotics give
There are only two ascendant mats: energy for legendary/exotic weapons, shards for legendary/exotic armor
Nice, thats what I've seen from most hand cannons, I'm sure the bonus dmg does help though especially if there's an overshield.
The DoT is what characterizes it and justifies the horrible limitations. Sometimes I'll get killed "by Thorn" while completely fighting someone else, because that last 7 damage just ticked me under 0. There's not much in the way of countering it either.
