A group of players discussing the desire for guaranteed attunement perks on exotic class items, expressing frustration over random rolls

A rising number of players are urging Bungie to rethink exotic class attunement systems. Discussion heated up as gamers expressed frustration over random perk allocations when purchasing exotic items from XUR every weekend, often ending up dissatisfied.

Context and Significance

Frustration has spilled over into forums where a user noted that even with a supposed 50% chance of getting a desired perk after attuning, they frequently receive repeats of unwanted ones. Their post captured the mood: "It feels awful getting so many non-attuned random rolls." This dissatisfaction highlights a larger need for improvement in the system.

Voices from the Community: Key Themes

Feedback from various forums emphasizes three key themes that reflect gamers' sentiments on the current system:

  1. Guaranteed Attunement Perks: Players strongly support implementing a guaranteed perk for exotic items, arguing it would ease frustration while maintaining room for randomness on other perks.

  2. Enhanced Crafting Features: Thereโ€™s a call for new crafting options, including a suggestion to allow players to save vault space by crafting after attaining the desired perk. It seems there is plenty more to engage players within the game.

  3. Sacrificing Existing Exotics: Many have proposed allowing sacrifices of current exotics for better options. One comment read, "Iโ€™d love this, save vault space, once you get the perk to drop you can craft it."
