Greetings Guardians,
So Xur is selling Gjallarhorn on behalf of his (her?) masters, on what I hope will forever become known as August14th: The Day of the Nine.
I probably did a triple take on checking in with the app, blurry eyed from sleep and the disbelief of it all.
Some people are angry about this, but not me - why would I be? My reaction was one of disbelief, excitement, pure joy. Gjallarhorn is special to this community and I'm delighted for those who've never dropped it. What an incredible moment in the ever unfolding story that is Destiny. Everyone must know, everyone must be included and from the looks of the forum: everyone cares! Which is great!
I've been playing since beta. I bought the Gjally used by my Hunter during those fledgling weeks just because it looked pretty. Did I earn it then? You damn right I did. I put everything into desperately farming those coins before Xur was off and at that time it was hard. I've gone on the drop that elusive bastard another 4 times since. In my experience, plan C is a rarer gun! But that's just how RNGesus rolls.
People have bought it before, players have dropped it in a raid, a nightfall, the crucible. I've seen players decode it from an engram!
So go on you proud new owners of that beautiful beast, go forth and slaughter the darkness with reckless abandon.
You deserve it. However you got there. :)
[edit]: Lmao I'm loving all the people dancing with Xur in the bar right now! Keep the beer cold and the jukebox loud. party on guardians <3
[edit2]: Genuine pleasure to read the comments and see this trending. Destiny doesn't have to all be doom and gloom this month! :)

Until it's nerfed and is useless bungie just wants everyone to buy ttk so nerfing all the weapons makes sense from their stand point
-
I was mad at first but then I realized my friends don't have to have me on every raid and POE now and I can take a small break from all that and go into more crucible now for that grimoire now yay!!!
-
I'm more than okay with it. I'm overjoyed. I received 3 Gjallarhorns from various drops, all since House of Wolves, and the weapon is a game-changer. But I have clanmates with 50 - 100% [i]more[/i] time in--people with better Grimoire than me, more raids and Nightfalls than I've ever done--that will be getting their first Gjallarhorn today, from Xur. I am amazingly happy for them; I think it's a gesture that came way too damn late. The only impact another player having Gjallarhorn can ever have on me is positive*. There is [i]literally[/i] no downside to Xur selling it. * Well, I suppose someone shooting me with it in Crucible is a potential negative impact, but there, it's just another rocket launcher anyway.

I didn't believe my friend when he said that's what he had, it was 5 in the morning and I was shocked
-
The first line of this made me laugh loudly
-
I also think its completely ok. And i suspect that bungie did this partially because there are people in matchmaking sites that only accept people with the Gjallarhorn.
-
Glad he sold it now the whining can stop bout not owning one
-
Yes, but are those that cried nerf going to cry buff after 9/15/2015? That's my one and only question now that everyone has it.

Agreed
-
-
Right!!!
-
I like you. +1 good sir!
-
It is maybe the prettiest weapon in the game. You can tell a lot of care went into the detail of its design.
-
We need more people like this in the community.
-
Great post. I'm looking forward to trying it out and having some fun with it.
-
I'm okay with this also. Only thing is, Destiny pvp is gonna be a heck tougher, the fights for heavy ammo even fiercer. I love it !! But many others won't. As I said before, if this new coming top gun comes out in The Taken King, we're gonna have some tough fights ahead of us in the Crucibles/Iron Banner till then. Get ready for the next level, Guardians

Bungie meant to do this. It was expected for a while. 1. With the expansions coming, some how a new king of the hill weapon would have to come aswell. And if this time comes, the Gjally would be dethroned by the newcomer. 2. This one was a guess I made but it does support the first: IF a more powerful/better weapon than the Gjallarhorn would be released in a new expansion, there would be a good chance for the Gjallarhorn to be sold again by Xur. There was no way it could be sold again by Xur otherwise because it would mean chaos. Ergo, I believe these two points confirms the coming of Gjallarhorn's rival or subdoer even more.

I'm also happy, got 3 myself but dont use them as I prefer to mix my weapons up but now things will get done a lot quicker with everyone else guaranteed to be running gh, win.

Bump to the 20th power

I agree kinda lol but it'll be nice seeing everyone enjoying the thing, altho we all know people are gonna bitch about how they still can't kill skolas :')
