With House Of Wolves coming out soon, and there being so many Exotics in the game.. i think it is time we are able to equip more than one piece of Exotic armor..
Now, i know it would make everyone just equip those and not use Legendaries, but.. what if every exotic you equip (after the first) gives a penalty to certain stats, or as i would like to call it, you become "corrupt".. for example, if i were to equip Mask Of The Third Man as well as Lucky Raspberry, there would be a 5% increase in damage received from enemies or maybe a penalty to Agility or Recovery.
With every other Exotic equipped you gain corruption, so if i was to add a third Exotic armor piece to my character, i would get another 5% increase to damage taken, or another penalty to my stats... this would happen again if you equip a fourth.
So wearing 4 Exotic pieces of armor would give you a 15% stack of either increased damage received, or a 15% penalty to recovery or agility..
Now, to the weapons.
This would also be slightly the same, only difference being, is that you would receive a 5% decrease in damage dealt for every Exotic you have (ignoring the first) so if you had 3 Exotic weapons equipped you would get a 10% decrease in damage dealt to enemies.
This would make it so you can show off all the cool exotics you have got, but at the same time you wouldn't be overpowered.
This is for PVE ONLY
-
The penalties should work similar to how weapon perks work, Depending on what you pick and match some strength, intellect and discipline armour perks increase or decrease accordingly.

I would love to equip more exotics for PvE.

I think it'd be better to have a cap on the number of exotics (both guns and gear) that you can equip. Say you can equip 3 exotic items at a time, you can go all exotic weapons, all legendary gear, 2 weapons 1 exotic gear, 3 exotic gear pieces and all legendary guns, etc. This would seriously increase the overall customization of the game. On top of that, I don't think it would really present an overpowered presence in the curicible, PVE, etc. It would also create more variety in how people look, so having different combinations of armor would be really cool.

I can see this as a limited weekly event :-)
-
I think they should just increase the amount of exotic weapons and armor by 1 each and not penalize anybody
-
Personally, I think there should be at least some sort of PvE mode or more where you can equip as many exotic items as you like. Maybe even some sort of exotic gametype in PvP?
-
Could be awesome in limited capacity. Maybe a particular event lets you were two armor and or two guns. Or perhaps a consumable that lasts thirty minutes or lasts the duration of an event or something. While letting us run around in God mode with 4 exotic armor and 3 weapons would be amazing. It might be a little op :) but fun! PVP throws a wrench so we gotta limit God mode sadly.
-
No, it would devalue legendary gear.
-
They should allow 2 exotics in general, either 2 weapons, 2 armor or one of each, but just allow 2 in general would be a nice change.
-
Yes please. I have a ton of Exotics that I want to use, but can't.
-
I agree...more than one exotic on weapons and armor. At least armor.
