    500 Exotics

    How is an Exotic exotic, if not only everyone has it, but with the exact same stats? Didn't even Destiny learn this lesson? Thought they were trying to increase build diversity, not constrain it.

    They are making it so you won't get stuck with low gear value dropped exotic only to then upgraded it and get stuck with an even worse damage roll but with a 500 gs value

    I actually like that they are making sure, if you already have an exotic, that it'll be a 500gs. Keep in mind, it's not making attaining the exotics any easier, it's just making sure you can get the best GS on it.

    I have never had one drop *ever* in what is easily hundreds of hours playing this. Maybe you need to stop taking "everyone having them" for granted there.

    If you have one in your main character inventory or in the stash then you need to move it/them to a 2nd character's inventory. Try again. I have this bug(?) since launch day & haven't been fixed.

    They don't mean that, what they mean is how is (let's say) The Liberty pistol exotic IF when you get the Liberty the stats are identical to one another...meaning if we all find and use exotics we are fighting with exactly the same stats.

    If you've played hundreds of hours without an exotic then you're either not following the step by step guides to getting parts or you're grinding the wrong missions.

    The definition of insanity, is, doing the exact same thing over and over again, expecting it to change. That. Is. Crazy. you may just go crazy grinding

    Has this been added already as I had a second sweet dreams drop on Roosevelt last night, wasn't max stats though, was significantly lower base damage than the one i had already in my inventory?

    RNG is a cruel beast. 1500 hrs in TD1 and still didnt get drops for some of the exotic weapons. 500+hr in TD has had 2 sweet dreams, 4x Pestilence, 2x Liberty, 2 merciless, a Nemisis and a Chatterbox. I guess that increases my chances of getting it drop again?

    Wonder if the changes to Max stats will also be applied across tor current GS 500 exotics 'downgraded' at the crafting bench?
