Don't get me wrong I look forward to Xur showing his spaghetti face every Friday and I hurry to see what goods he is peddling like a good little guardian, but its not very exciting or engaging. Xur should bring a lot more to the game when he pops up so he continues to provide excitement and anticipation for his arrival. Here are a few of my ideas for how Bungie could make Xur more exciting and engaging.
[b]Idea #1[/b]
Give Xur his own full set of legendary gear including armor and weapons.This gear would be designed around the Nine but be different from the Trials of the Nine gear. To get this gear you would need to increase your reputation with Xur just like other faction vendors. Once you max out the reputation bar Xur would give you an engram that would randomly drop a piece of his gear with the chance for an exotic item. To get his reputation up you would need to kill tough yellow bar enemies on the planet which he appears on to collect exotic tokens. These tokens are then handed into Xur to increase his reputation. The story behind this could be Xur needs you to collect exotic materials so the Nine can provide guardians with a selection of exotic gear each week.
[b]Idea #2[/b]
Give Xur a rotation of exotic shaders, ships, and sparrows to sell each week. The selection of these items would be random so you don't know what he would be selling each week. Maybe throw in some consumable items such as XP and glimmer buffs.
[b]Idea #3[/b]
Create a selection of 5 to 8 exotic weapons and armor that are unique to Xur and only he sells. Out of these exotic items only 1 would be randomly available for purchase each week. However you could make these possible drops in the the engrams that drop in Idea #1 above.
[b]Idea #4[/b]
The ability to purchase a Lost Item Map from Xur. This would be a very expensive map (similar to Cayde's treasure maps) that would be to collect an item that Xur lost on his travels. This map would lead you to a single chest on the planet that Xur is located on and would drop gear from Xur mentioned in the idea's above. The chest would be located in a far out of the way corner of the map and definitely not be out in the open. There would also be high level enemies surrounding the chest that you would need to kill to be able to get to it.

Just bring back 3oC and be done wth it. At least 3oC turned every activity in the game into a worthwhile activity to play for exotics or infusion fuel. Most "hardcore" players have most exotics by now anyway. In D1 Xur ended up having the purpose of making any activity relevant. That would actually be useful given the current D2 content drought to have Xur sell 3oC (There is a drought of content that can actually give you useful things, there are plenty of useless things to do in the game that of course nobody does)

Perhaps if I negotiated this with the Nine, they would listen...

Helll ya!;Bump!!!

I do like that I can shoot at squid face now when he angers me. Lol
-
I've got over 1000 shards and nothing to spend them on....

He's merely a trash collector.
-
All of these ideas rock, you need to be in Reddit for bungie to notice them tho.
-
I just want to know why we are in year 3, and still have no idea who the Nine are.

I think Xur should have quests too. Maybe for specialty items or weapons you can get by doing things like you did with banshee in D1 every week. I also think they could put Holliday to much better use too. She is worthless seeing as everyone gets purple sparrows and ships from bright engrams. Would love more interaction with Cayde as well. He's the man! Give them quests or bounties or something at least. Heck even the sweeper droid could have something fun to do like a hunt for lost items after the tower was destroyed. Get something cool and unique for returning them to him. I don't know.......but seriously there is a lot of potential on the tower and farm with so many npc's.

honestly this might just me, but the title sounded kind of weird lol. honestly I liked the 2 day extension

Not just Xur, all the vendors need to be vendors, this RNG nonsense isn't cutting it. They need to sell things that will make it worth leveling the rep like when the faction vendors show up.

Edited by Epidemic006: 9/23/2017 3:20:12 PMThese are some great ideas!!! Also, how about a side quest for Xur?
-
Great ideas
-
How about all of them, but rotated? Choice is always a good thing. But yes, great ideas 🤘 ☮️
-
Awesome ideal. Ideal #1 would be legendary!

Bump!

Brilliant post! I also think the power of the gear is very low. One of the main things that made year 1 Destiny so good is the fact that exotics were one of a very limited amount of ways to reach max rank. Now that infusion is a thing, I think this should happen again.

Bump... Any of these ideas are good. Unfortunately, you need to post it on Reddit to get any attention from Bungie.
-
Bump!

Can I ... BUMP !

Edited by michelle6995: 9/23/2017 7:56:10 PMSolution: - Xûr gives is a quest - Reward: Random exotic. Very useful for players who are in need of legendary shards and cannot afford any of the items being sold by him

I swear Destiny 1 feels more like a sequel than Destiny 2. so many things from Vanilla destiny didn't get carried over to D2. privet matches, modifying exotic gears, choosing crucible modes, Xur as well. where is POE? are they gonna add it again in future DLC? we already paid for it in D1 so we should get as a free update. D2 should have more contents than D1 + the first two DLCs.
