Destiny Speculation: Exotic Ascension

[quote][b]1) Introduction[/b][/quote]In Destiny our Guardians will become Legend as we traverse the Solar System on a grand adventure to take back all that we have lost. But what about the equipment that we'll use? Is it possible that our weapons and armor can become Legend alongside us? Today I would like to share some speculation that will explore what it means to belong to an equipment tier, how we might be able to ascend our gear to a higher tier, and with regards to exotic ascension, explore the benefits and problems that come with a number of approaches to allowing players to create new exotics.

4 RepliesGlad to see some people actually come in with fresh ideas discussed in length. I like the third scenario you drafted up personally but I could see how some people won't want to go on "errand runs" but IMO destiny is going to be about exploring as much as it is about blowing your enemies to bits. I also think that the "ascension" so to speak of a superior to an exotic or pseudo exotic is a dangerous thing: Pros: You become familiar with your weapon it is you and represents you. Creates individuality. Cons: It suffers a bit to the lust to find actual exotics. If anything can be brought up to that level how "special" are these things? That being said I wish bungie would give us a few more scraps. I think they secretly love us to salivate.
