Glass Needles Should Turn Rare Armour/Weapons Into Legendaries
I keep seeing all this blue armour that I would honestly rather wear over my raid armour. Like the seraph for the warlock or all the wolves armor for the hunter. They just look better imo. Right now the glass needles seem pretty useless, doing this would give them an actual purpose. From what I've read no one likes the rolls they've got using the needles and others don't care enough to buy them. This would also allow for more unique looking gaurdians instead of everyone wearing raid armour or the same two designs of legendary armour that are out now. Im not saying to remove the current purpose of glass needles but to just give them another reason for being used. What do you guys think?

Yeah, they waste a lot of great looking designs on rare gear plus the finite amount of legendary gear leads to a lot of look-a-likes throughout the game. For example the warlock chest pieces available through the vendors are beyond ugly so everyone is starting to sport the Chasm of Yuul. However I don't believe morphing rare items into legendary's would be the best solution to avoid this. I would like to have a base armor underneath my guardians "clothes" that would have a talent tree similar to our supers, but have the unlocking path be different. Instead of XP unlocking perks have them unlocked through specific activities or quests. There would also be exotic perks, but you could only use one at a time. I am well aware this idea could complicate the light level and would certainly make exotic, or rather all, gear irrelevant for anything other than aesthetics. Which, to me, would be amazing.

2 RepliesDeej posted in a topic yesterday he would talk to the Design team about Transmogrifying armors onto others (Making one armor look like another but keeping the stats), and even agreed that he loved the look of his Seraph armor. While I do like the idea of using Glass Needles, I don't agree that they're useless right now. I've got some sweet stat rolls on my armor from using them along with perks I could actually use.

Yup. This has been one of my biggest gripes since launch. You run through so many awesome gear sets on your way to max level only to be bottlenecked into a few variations of uglier gear. I hate it so much.

Yeah, I agree. In final fantasy 14 online there is a material called glamour that allows you to change the appearance of you powerful armor to something else you prefer the look of... A good idea.

I feel like a more suitable change to this would be that you can infuse legendaries into rares, which will in turn make that rare a legendary version of itself, and adopt that legendary item's perks. Part of getting to a high light was the grind for legendary gear to begin infusing. It took me a week to get a full set of legendary gear for my Titan, and I'm still missing the helmet. I also bought 6 Glass needles, the last time Xur was here. I don't think Bungie wants it to be THAT easy to claim important gear.

6 RepliesSo your post actually has two elements: 1) "Glass Needle is useless, and 2) "not enough legendary armor. Have to disagree with 2) right off the start. Since they made faction armor much more accessible with the automatic reputation gains, there are now multiple sets of legendary armor available. Two Vanguard sets, two Crucible sets, three faction sets, one Iron Banner set, one Trials of Osiris set. So that's actually nine full sets of armor. And one Raid set. Still eight if you count the vanguard and crucible variants as one set apiece. (The two sets are similar for each.) And that's not counting the individual pieces from the strikes. And exotic armor pieces. As for 1), well I haven't tried a glass needle yet, but I've heard that they don't work as expected. If I were going to change Glass Needles, I'd just change them so they improve the stat bonuses and Light Score of an exotic a little each use until it reaches maximum. They might have to change the pricing a bit.

1 ReplyAgreed. The rare amour for warlock is sharting on the legendary gear. The Azoth bend set is the only good legendary set and it has to be the whole set.
