Make Xur Upgrades less confusing for new players
Hello people of the feedback forums,
I don't usually visit this section but it's time a made a post about an issue that needs to be addressed. Every week I notice several users making posts like "Xur reset my exotic" or "Xur stole my Shard!" made by people who do not understand the purpose of xur upgrades. The thing is all of this could be prevented by one simple change. Instead of having it say [b]Upgrade[/b] equipped exotics Bungie should change it to say [b]Update[/b] equipped exotics. I believe by changing this it would lead to less confusion.
Any input is appreciated
Thanks,
Mecha Cam

I would have read every line of the upgrade description if they provided one, but there was absolutely nothing there. It just calls it an "Upgrade", which makes it look like Xur will upgrade your weapon for the price of one Exotic Shard (which seams reasonable as that is not a cheap price). So the problem isn't that we didn't read or that we came to some kind of illogical and hasty conclusion, the problem is that the feature is misrepresented and can easily be confused with something else that seems to make perfect sense. If I already have what Xur considers to be the fully "upgraded" version of the weapon, I shouldn't even be able to purchase the so called "upgrade" as it serves no purpose. At the very least, they should add a warning/description so you know what will happen. I shouldn't have to be an active forums participant to know how something like this works - it should be made obvious from within the game.

I agree.

4 RepliesPeople should ask before they upgrade or maybe read a little. I get a good laugh every time I see "Xur screwed me over" - no Xur didn't... you did it to yourself.

Lol I'd laugh if I saw that

4 RepliesIt could also be fixed by reading comprehension.

I also think they should add a little box in Xûr's inventory that when you select it, it'll provide a brief amount of information on Xûr's exotic [i]updates[/i]. It should also be made so the very first time players visit Xûr, (post if this ever gets added in) you'll [u]have[/u] to go through the page and check off a box at the very bottom that says something to the effect to "I have read and understood this page." Once players check that box, they'll never be prompted to read it again and any mistakes solely hold them accountable.
