Petition to Remove Xur

's random stats for Exotic items. For example, this week's Armamentarium has 131 Discipline, when last week's had only 104. While it's not personally a big deal for me because I can just buy another with my ungodly amount of Strange Coins, the fact that this is even a possibility makes me a tad wary about purchasing gear that has less than 130 in a given stat in the future. I'm sure Bungie won't actually change this, but [b]the point of this thread was mostly to inform other players[/b] that this is something that can happen. What's the justification of making Stat values on Exotic gear subject to RNG? Bungie has already stated that they'll never have RNG perks on Exotics, such that every Exotic will always do the same thing as another Exotic of the same type. So why should their Stats be subject to RNG when the Perks are not? Just seems like an [b]odd break from their design philosophy and possibly an oversight[/b]. [u][b]+1 For anyone who actually read the content of this post and not just the title before jumping to the comments section.[/b][/u] You da [i]real[/i] MVP.

  • Doubt it will happen but they should. Or he should come with 2 or 3 exotic bountys each week where you can only purchase and hold one at a time. Atm they are far too easy to get.

  • I've noticed the same thing with the faction armors. Its kinda annoying when you buy helmet with the last of your crucible marks and then a better comes along and you have to wait a whole week to make more marks.

  • I think that you may be too wrapped in a min/maxing mentality. The differences in performance as your describe are not vast enough to be significant in my opinion.

    • I think the stat variation is so you can get a more unique piece of gear that suits what you want more that anything. I think the same stat having different values is an issue but have the stat itself being random is useful. I love using grenades cause they help so I wouldn't be very happy if the armor I think is good would only boost my melee which I don't use. So that much is useful

    • Nah I enjoy xur and the fact I work wayyy to much to have patience for random drops I too would like to do raids and stuff without blue or crappy purple weapons. He's the weekend warrior hero where we don't care about 15 to 20 point difference in stats.

    • I agree with you at the same time I don't care that much about the stat boosts. I main a hunter so discipline means nothing because we have the worst grenades. strength is whatever because I use the ability that cools down melee in like 4 seconds. and the super only works on hordes of trash so intellect isn't so important to me either. one thing I can add is that If they do change then it should be the stat not the number 130 int instead of discipline or whatever instead of a higher number of the same stat it's BS

      Its amazing just how many people skip the entire post and go right to the boohooing. Im with you. Ive started thinking that now if I just wait a week I may get the same item with better stats for the same price so why bother spending my coins today. Its been a month or so of that procrastination now. I dont know if I can learn to trust you again after this Xur, you shifty bugger... </3

      I think they should just remove him from the tower. Instead he should show up in random places once every few days on the planets, only for a few hours, to try make it actually difficult to get the exotics, but this might just be too random Alternatively, a solution for the stat issue would be to just make Xur's exotics have consistent but lower stat values, and exotics found in 'the wild' have the random values, so that Xur's stuff is always recognised as the home brand of exotics and randomly found exotics have the risk/reward of being either the worst or the best version of the exotic possible.

    • Quite frankly, contrary to your statement, they shouldn't remove Xur. They should have him appear less often. Every weekend is a bit much, and causes an overflow of exotic gear. He should come to the tower every 2-4 weeks instead. Just my two cents.

      I don't agree about removing Xur, but, he shouldn't sell weapons like the Suros. Reason being is because it overpopulates PvP. Which in turn, gets it nerfed. Because the people who like to complain about why it's op. Why sell one of the best guns in the game? I would think that should be an RNG drop only...same for the Ice Breaker. That's like saying; "Xur, you're now going to sell raid gear." Best gear in the game. I did read it. I am the MVP, I know that already.

      • Makes sense. I'd say that too for the Raid gear, but then again, I would hate it if INT appeared on it, same for the exotic gear.

      • I don't understand why they don't have reputation for Xur, all the other people that sell gear have rep so why not him? Then the bitching about earning gear will stop, even though strange coins have to be earned before buying Xur's gear.

      • I agree. Last week I bought armamentarium and upgraded it, then got it again from the nightfall with better stats. Now Xur is selling it again and it's stats are better than the random one I got! I'm almost glad I'm not at home to buy it again.
