I don't think exotics reset like everyone seems to think... (Destiny)

you'll get the new version, and won't have to waste a shard to upgrade it

The retarded thing is, a lot of casuals don't read the weekly updates or patch notes line by line. Nor do they watch out for DeeJ's hints and tips on his twitter or in the forums. Essentially, there will be a large subset of players who won't expect all of these weird changes and will think the game is bugged or something when their exotic is reset. Many of Bungie's changes don't make sense to me even when I've read through them all.

Am I misunderstanding...? The way I read it, your exotics will not be reset automatically; they will only reset if you choose to buy the "upgraded" version from Xur.

Or you get a new one. And if you are sitting on a missive that's nearly finished, and you wait to turn it in, it'll be the new one.

Yeah, I get that anything acquired after Tuesday will be the new "upgraded" version.

So maybe this was the wrong thread to post my previous reply in, I'm just getting a strong sense that many of the people here (and even moreso in other parts of the Internet) are misunderstanding that exotics are not "getting reset" -- but it just means we'll have the option to upgrade them even further than their current max (assuming we're willing to let them get reset to some extent temporarily)
