Bungie released Red Death Today in Xur's category of weapons, which has the forums now in riot. However, I think there is something greater going on. I think this was simply a test by Bungie to see how Players would react to something OP, such as Gally or in this case Red Death, be sold. They are looking to how the community reacts, and how they should tend to Xur's inventory in the future. They want to see what happens to PvP, if everyone has access to a good weapon. Performing this on PvE would devastate, so they are doing a small test to see what happens.
[b]EDIT[/b] Wow, I'm quite surprised on this post, never expected it to grow big. Now I guess I should rephrase my saying about Red Death and it being OP. What I'm saying here, is that Bungie knows this weapon would cause a small group of distaste by some players by reasons differing between them (Xurn, Too OP, Ruins Crucible, etc.). They had their chance to put in an unsuspecting weapon, and they took it to see playyer reaction (According to my Theory), and take note of what would happen in result. It is a great weapon for PvP and in some cases ruins the experience of PvP for some.

4 AntwortenBearbeitet von bigGRNninja: 3/13/2015 2:18:37 PMWhat the hell do you people expect from xur? What is supposed to really sell? Complain when he sells crap complain when he sells something good, what gives? He sells exotic gear. What should he do, sell everything as an engram and leave it to random chance? No y'all would simply complain about that too. So what then? What would it take to put the bottles back in the babies mouths and stop the whining? I'll tell you what, nothing, because y'all are lactose and tolerant and the bottle would only make y'all cry about that too

13 AntwortenYall complain when he sells crap and you complain when he sells good stuff and you complain anytime anyone does anything in this game so maybe relax and have fun with the game
-
A test? you fool.
-
Hardly a test when it's the third time xur has sold it

Honestly, I think Bungie is trying the phase out the stronger Gen 1 weapons for weaker damage ones. Ice Breaker seems to lack the same punch it had at first against Devil Walkers. Could just be in my head, but seems weaker. I posted a while back that I have a feeling the the pulse rifle buff was not only to strengthen them but also provide and create the excuse, PvP crying, to nerf Red Death. Same as what happened with the Suros. Granded most of the overhype was from crying, but Bungie I think intentionally kept running the AR headshot bounty to inflate AR, and Suros, use as excuse to nerf to respond to crying players. They could have adjusted that bounty at any time, but didn't until after they nerfed. This all would fit with their pattern of artificially extending grinding in game. HoW will show more though.

Red death is not OP... it has a very low rate of fire unless you're shooting without aiming..ppl with Red Death can't just run in front of a person and have a guaranteed kill.. a good shotgun,pulse rifle, or any other gun could still beat the Red Death
-
I felt the same way when he sold Soros and plan c

The vast majority of how destiny players feel arnt represented on the forums. No one cares. He can sell red death. He can sell Gjallarhorn. Just about no one cares. And anyone that does is taking this game way too seriously.
-
Lmao forums in a riot? K den
-
It's pathetic how people react, considering this is a game and these are pixelated weapons.
-
Or bungie just wanted to sell red death?
-
3 AntwortenTin foil hat much? Its a game, not a plot to destroy the world.... Plus, this is the 3rd time its been sold.
-
I guess ur right
-
I don't know. I think anyone could've predicted the forum reaction. Every time Xur has something good, it's the same thing. "For all those that Xurned their (insert exotic)..." I am looking forward to the day Ghorn is sold again. Can't wait to watch heads explode.

1 AntwortenPlayed PvP all night and it's so OP I didn't run into a single red death user. Does thorns DOT counter it's health regen?
-
You are so stupid. Everything is predetermined for years ahead.
-
I think thats true, as much as Ive always disliked Xür for being Xür, but I am not getting involved in all this arguing lol
-
This is the third time he sold it to Idk why people Bitch about
-
Red death is far from OP. I've had mine forever and barely use it. Got it out after the pulse rifle buff, and it went right back in the vault. Don't use it for crota cause I run gear that heals. Save that exotic weapon for ice breaker.
-
Red death is not op so shut you mouth. It's a solid gun and I don't see many people complaining
-
2 AntwortenI don't care if they sell stuff. If anything buying from xur is more earning than RNG Cuz you have to earn Strabo coins mostly..they Arnt random
-
Iron banner next week they will see how we react towards it and if we complain about it they will need it it is a test honestly it is a good idea but I don't play the PVP cause it crap.
-
Plus with everyone hating pulse rifles they wanted to put pulse rifles back on the map for people.
-
People over think this game to much.
-
testing Red Death as highly probable Half-life 3 weapon, Half-life 3 confirmed if you play Xur's hair backward
-
3 AntwortenWrong, red death has been sold multiple times.
