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.

Edited by IAmJoshman: 6/17/2015 7:16:09 PMMy Exotic Ideas --------------------------------------------------- "The Black Hand" Exotic Hand Cannon "This is the embodiment of flame, the eternal fire, the scorched earth" - Toland, The Shattered Design: The color scheme is a black and red diesel-punk style with three barrels.

Precision kills leave behind a pool of magma that causes severe DoT when walked upon. --------------------------------------------------- "Cycle of Existence" Exotic Machine Gun "This is not the beginning of the end, but rather, the end of beginning" - The Speaker Design: This Weapons main material is wood, representing Yggdrasil (A.K.A The World Tree) from Norse mythology.
