So I am with the people that said that if they were trying to impress us with the selection of exotics to show us, that they FAILED MISERABLY. These are NOT great exotics and in fact they really aren't even that GOOD either.
Titan Helmet: Let's make a Titan helmet to give you the most useless Warlock perk as an exotic perk, that will be great right?
Warlock Chest: Let's make glimmer farming a bit easier. That's nice and all, but I would rather have an exotic CLASS ITEM do that. I want my armor to be able to do tangible in battle things.
Titan Helmet/Warlock Chest Both: Let's give em grenades and/or melee energy by picking up orbs when super is charged... NO I don't want to pick up orbs when super is charged. If I am being a good teammate, I am using my super to generate orbs for the team to regenerate their supers etc. I pick up their orbs to regain my super, they pick up mine. It's a TERRIBLE waste of an orb to pick it up at full Super. This literally only comes into play in only 2 cases... 1: If I am a sunsinger that holds on to the super for self res anyway as a last ditch saving tool or 2: if you make extra orbs in an area and are going to move on... but then by the time you get to the next area you have already recharged your grenade/melee anyway probably.
Hunter Gloves: This one is actually decent. Having 2 melee as a hunter would come in very handy in multiple situations in both PvE and PvP. THIS is the kind of exotic I like. Something that gives you a benefit that is clear and useful in multiple situations. Having built in grave robber is decent and it doesn't say you have to have primary equipped for it to work, so i can use presumably use my Shotgun and follow up with a quick melee and possibly regain my primary being loaded which isn't bad. This one also doesn't proc on Kills it's on hits so that furthers it's potential use.
Weapons: They seem alright. Not a fan of the Shotgun unless the buffs you get from the precision kills is HUGE. Why? Well This gun was showed off in previous PvP footage and it's a ANOTHER SOLAR Shotgun... We already know Invective is getting a Year 2 upgrade, so it would REALLY have to be good to make me want to use it over Invective 2.0 (unless Invective 2.0 stinks).
The fusion rifle looks really cool and is something we are sorely lacking (a Void exotic) so I am on board with this one. It sounds like it will do minimal damage with the actual projectiles which could be a problem, but the explosions left behind will finish the job off, which could be good. I am NOT particularly a fan of the "team perk" aspect. Similar to Lord of Wolves, it's secondary perk does not help you yourself, but helps your team by dropping orbs on multi kills, this would be SO much better if it just dropped orbs on multi kills period so that you could pick up the orbs yourself (and maybe it IS like that, but the wording is poor, although I doubt it). But at least this is better than nothing and has some use, I am just not personally a fan of perks like that.
From what I have seen here they showed off 2 crappy armor pieces, 1 decent armor piece, 1 mediocre weapon, 1 interesting weapon, and copped out be RESHOWING Sleeper Simulant as the 6th and final one. NOT a spectacular reveal IMO, but it's something...

I feel very unimpressed with this reveal as well. The gameplay of Sleeper Simulant is downright boring. It is basically a Queenbreaker's Bow in the heavy slot. The way that Bungie does things just naturally breeds complacency and laziness. If they really wanted us to move on to new gear, they should have left it all intact in Year 2 to challenge themselves to make something better. As is, there is no real incentive to make something better, because in most cases we simply won't have a choice but to use the new stuff. Of course, all of this is predicated on Bungie being able to make something better, and judging from TDB and HoW and TTK, it is becoming more and more evident that this is an impossible task for Bungie.

So in HM crota where infusion perk is important, and your super is full and you have no health, you would waste your super just to pick up orbs? Or would you rather keep your super and gain health back again? These perks are very good because they are making all exotics situtational instead of just OP for everything. When I am glimmer farming or doing strikes I would like the to be able collect extra glimmer while doing it, because glimmer gets wasted so dam fast right now. Only thing you have done is show you don't care about the hard work the devs put into creating this stuff and want to keep using your lame old stuff, everything you posted is your personal opinion and that really means nothing except to you.

Edited by Talk2MeToner: 8/26/2015 2:56:35 PMHey man you realize orbs aren't shared right? Like if someone generates 9 and I pick up 6 the rest of my teammates don't only have 3 left... They still see 9... Surprised you haven't figured this out yet... So picking up orbs after super is charged is in no way a waste and is actually a great perk cuz it makes the most of orbs whereas normally they would go to waste if your super was charged. PS if you're expecting a lot better stuff you aren't learning. They are trying to balance the game as much as possible , they're done putting out stuff that other classes will say are OP
-
Truth is a Void exotic..........
-
What IF... just what IF... They showed us these 3 specifically cos there are better ones in store?
-
What if they showed use these cuz they are the best that they can do ?
-
Then that'd be disappointing. But I'm sure they can think of something better for the new subclasses than a glimmer farm exotic :/
-
-
-
Am I the only one who thinks the new exotics will be good in the new Mayhem pvp list?
-
Well written, have to say I agree with most of what you pointed out... Sadly I don't see a single weapons or gear that makes me want to give up my existing gear... :( very sad right now
-
Not even Telesto...??? :/
-
Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying all the new stuff is pooh lol. Simply that I was expecting the new gear to be obviously superior to the existing gear I own. Telesto looks and sounds awesome but would I really get rid of Icebreaker for it? or plan C? I don't think so...
-
Well, I'd happily give up Plan C for it :/ I mean, plan C is ok, but the perk only activates very seldom. And the armour looks good, but the perks are bad IMO the only one i like is the Guantlets for hunters. I'm sure they have better ones in store though :/
-
Really??? I love my Plan C way to much!!!! Plan C has saved my but so many time that I look at it like an old friend... AGREED the gauntlets looks super awesome and If I had a hunter I would be super hyped for it. To tell you the truth I really had my hopes up for exotic boots for the warlock.
-
Lol maybe we'll get boots someday... Anyways, Plan C is ok, but I'd like the perk to trigger a little more often yknow? Still, I want that new fusion rifle... SO PRETTY @-@
-
I know what you mean... if you check out my stats Fusion is my go to weapon :) except for trials where I use sniper or shotgun. So I will defo get the Fusion gun
-
:D TELESTOOOOO
-
FUSION FTW ;)

Yeahhhhhh D;
