These two things are not the same, though - he might never sell it again regardless of its "game breaking"ness

My point is that he wont sell the golden goose egg in W1 just because he they did it in D1. If anything theyve toned down the exotics so we wont get another Thorn or pre nerf gally.

D1 was essentially a beta we all paid 100 bucks to live test for them and one thing they learnt was exotics in D1 were "too" much fun.

Any cool poo poo will come out like TOM or SS did.

it's weird that if you preview a shader from the inventory menu it changes the colour of an exotic weapon, but you can't actually do it. arctic pearl sweet business rules. Shame I can't get it.

How do people feel about the grenade launchers? The only good one I've seen so far is the one that fires flashbang grenades. Otherwise I think I'd rather just have rockets.

Play Of The Game is one of my favorite weapons. Six in the chamber, decent blast radius and proximity detonation.

I love them, but I have used weapons like that and loved them for a long time in FPSes, so I might just be weird. There's one that's full auto and none of the grenades detonate until you let go of L2 that is pretty cool for very niche uses, but generally they are like rockets that are harder to aim, but have the advantage of being able to shoot over cover.

Went ahead and picked up Merciless, though I have Skyburner's Oath for the raid. I figure why not might be good for Nightfalls at least. 262 light now! I'll probably do the raid at 280 or close to it in a few weeks.

What's the name of that one? I might like it. I loved grenade lanchers in BF3 but I can't seem to use them right in D2. Same with SMGs, though I do pretty nicely with sidearms.

Lmao. I knew his prices would be somewhat in line with D1. Glad I went hog wild with infusion instead of hoarding like 600 shards or some poo poo. He'll probably sell other stuff eventually though.

They would never price them above what the average player could reasonably accrue in a week.

Just started this game, did they replace the 3 factions in the hub with people who are out in the field? Found the EDZ guy and assumed he counts as a faction so wasn't sure if this is how they work now instead of bounties you get from a hub.

That didn't stop people from hoarding hundreds of shards in preparation though. I think I said so in the discord and someone was like "no way they'll be that cheap." It's pretty amazing how much Bungie has gone out of their to make the game accessible and rewarding for people who aren't putting 2nd job hours into it.

They are both underpowered and hard to use. High risk no reward.

But I want that one that you can prime before exploding, that type of burst damage could be useful somewhere.

With the removing of a consumable to get power ammo, power weapons are kind of ..situational...

Yeah, the factions are now the story NPCs you meet. Though of you go to the hangar there's like a whole room for FWC and an area for Dead Orbit, so they might show up later through DLC. Couldn't find a New Monarchy spot though.

Like all of my Crucible ghosts tell me there's a higher chance of faction items dropping in Crucible games.

Man, I hope the only way to get faction rep is to kill dudes of the other factions in Crucible, Crucible really needs to be a bit more rewarding

As someone who has used both you probably won't get a ton of use out of Skyburner's Oath compared to Merciless in the raid. I haven't found anything that even gets close to Merciless as far as being able to burn something down quickly.

I like them - you can spam them into crowds and wreak havoc. I got the Lion exotic that fits into the energy slot and it's ok there. It's a bit niche since it's a utility thing that removes shields and isn't meant for damage. But it's handling is super high so you switch your kinetic to finish them off.
