Edit 7/25: For people having trouble with ideas, here's two themes that may help.
Theme #1
Class specific exotics: in the taken king, we're suppose to be getting some. Let's see what you guys can come up with.
Theme #2
Toxotics: this is basically an exotic with an amazing perk but it is also hurts you somehow.
Not really doing a competition because I'm very inconsistent.
Edit 7/24: Glad to see we're getting some traffic going again. I've decided to change what this forum is about. I want it to be a creation outlet for everyone to share their ideas, not just for exotic gear. Hopefully you guys like the change. I'll try and include some examples.
Edit 6/11: Wow, I'm surprised that people actually want this forum to stay alive. I'm sorry for being silent for so long so I've responded to a couple of posts. I'll try and respond to anyone else that adds something. Also I'm going to look for the list of exotics that I have from the last competition. I'll post it when I find it. I'm debating on doing another one. Message me if you think I should.

Here are two of the Exotics I came up with. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Exotic Hand Cannon) Lone Wolf's Elegy Description) The pack cursed him in his final moments...but in his final moments...he cursed the pack. Build) The guns build could be allittle different then most hand cannons. The barrel could be extra long and protrude from the mouth of a wolf, the sight could be tucked cleverly between the Wolf's ears. The head could be all black with either blue or red, eyes. And the protruding barrel could be a dark silver. As for a cosmetic perk the gun could do Solar damage, but instead of shooting orange, it would shoot black bullets. (Kind of like the thorn) Perks) As far as normal perks go I can't really dictate what bungie would like to put on a gun, like anyone really can, so I'm not going to really touch that. The gun itself could hold 10-13 rounds. And the exotic perk I think it should be on this gun, (Curse of the Lone Wolf) is that bullets fired from this gun could explode their target (in black flames) and then shoot a maximum of 2 tracking black fireballs at any nearby enemies. I think it would be a cool gun to add in the spirit of the House of Wolves expansion. Maybe it could even be one of those hard to get...(exclusives type exotics) -------------------------------------------------------------------- And here's my idea for an Automatic Rocket Launcher, and yes I know, sounds OP but just read on and let me know what you think. Name) Oblivion "X" Infinity Element) Solar Description) This is no Rocket Launcher...it is the Embodiment of Chaos - /Crux Lomar's Examination Report/ Build) The launcher could be mostly black with blood red stripes on the side, and maybe some silver detailing. The front of the launcher tube could have a large indented rocket dispenser which would be related to the exotic perk. The Rocket Launcher will hold 3 rockets from the start (no tripod needed) and will have a special exotic effect, where when you aim down the sights, a target mark will paint enemies for tracking. Exotic perk) - (Ticket To Oblivion) - Increases magazine size to 5. When the player aims down the sight multiple targets can now be painted, and holding down the fire button will rapidly fire rockets. (After a short charge time) Because of rapid fire, the rockets fired won't have the same amount of impact as the usual rocket Launcher for obvious reasons. Also, when multiple targets are painted for rapid fire, the charge up will be indicated by a smoldering vortex of flames being sucked into the tube before the rockets are dispensed. There you have it, just and idea of something I thought could be comparable to the trusty old gjallarhorn ;P Comments would be appreciated, let me know what you think about it.
