I am glad Xur didn't have the Gjallarhorn, here's why.
Ok, so let's start with the basic logic everybody already understands.
1) Xur sells Gjallarhorn
2) Everybody is happy and buys Gjallarhorn
3) People spend the weekend upgrading Gjallarhorn
4) By Tuesday, everyone has an upgraded Gjallarhorn- at least with Wolfpack Rounds.
Sounds good so far, right?
Well, let's continue.
5) Weekly Heroic/Nightfall- both jokes, people just use Gjallarhorn and slaughter the boss/the adds quickly and painlessly.
6) VoG - groups kill the Templar instantly, groups kill Atheon within 1-2 time's vengeance. So VoG is a joke.
7) Crota's End- Gjallarhorn on shriekers, every group gets hidden chest free (wasn't hard anyways). Gjallarhorn at Deathsinger, wizards dead in 30 seconds, another 30 seconds shriekers are dead, another 30 seconds to a minute and Deathsinger is dead. People use Gjallarhorn to instantly take down Crota's shield, and use Gjallarhorn on adds+oversoul. Crota fight gets even easier.
8) Vanguard Tiger/Roc - More Gjallarhorn spam, more instant killing bosses.
9) Daily Heroics - these were already pretty easy, made even easier with infinite Gjallarhorns.
Clarification: so now Everybody has Gjallarhorn, it's not special any more, everything in the game becomes a joke. Bungie is either forced to nerf Gjallarhorn or make everything in the game 5 times harder. New players would be angry because they missed the opportunity, and many will stop playing/not buy the game. Nobody has any reason to use an exotic other than Gjallarhorn unless its something like the Hawkmoon, Suros, or Mythoclast. Game is unbalanced, and the end result will be Gjallarhorn being ruined for everyone - or some other unhappy result.
[b]Tl;Dr: Game unbalanced, not fun, Gjallarhorn gets nerfed after a week/everything gets crazy health+damage buffs and everyone is sad.[/b]
Well that's my 2 cents on the matter. What are your opinions on the topic?
>inb4 "you just feel special because you have Gjallarhorn": I have opposed the prospect of Xur reselling Gjallarhorn since it first arose several months ago. I only got a Gjallarhorn last week.

Ok I have 3 gjallarhorns. I also am about 10 minutes off of maxing out another one to 332 damage. It is an amazing gun. Absolutely stunning. It's damage output is out of this world and far beyond any other of the exotic heavy weapons. HOWEVER, I am tired of doing a raid with ransoms and me being the only one with it. I just did a raid through lfg with mostly 25-26 players and 2 other 31s (yes I know I'm a 31 I was just being charitable doing the normal raid). I was doing more damage to atheon and the templar than my 5 team mates combined who were armed with sub par weapons. As gjallarhorn does close to 3 times the damage of any other heavy in the game. Now I'm tired of being the one that teams have to rely on. You know sometimes I just want to sit back and snipe with my ice breaker. But no, right when we get to a boss it's 'who has a gjallarhorn?' You know I'm good with the relic as well! I also have a 331 void fusion rifle! I also want to work on my ice breaker and suros! I haven't even used my suros. With a gjallarhorn comes power. And with great power comes great responsibility. I want some of that responsibility shared!

1 ReplySays the guy who has gjallarhorn. Sorry but you might be singing a different tune if you hadn't already gotten it.
-
I think he should sell it but for an obscene amount, that way all the grinders who get crappy RNG can get one but newbies and scrubs will have to wait or put in the time like the rest of us.
-
Love my maxed jellyhorn 2.0. If you don't have it, your not in the jelly club.
-
What makes you think everyone will be using it? Two of my clan members dont even use it, i personally would rather not have an exotic on my heavy. Others feel like since you have a horn then youre on rocket launcher dutty, its annoying. I have it and dont use it as much, i probably only use it to show it off here and there to my friends who speak about it thats all
-
I missed something...was there a point made in that rambling he did?
-
I don't have it. I don't need it.
-
You just clearly said that ghorn is over powered. You don't think bungie doesn't already know that? It's going to get a nerf or tweak get ready for it. If everyone automatically goes for ghorn for a boss then there might be something wrong. Other than nerfing it,they could bump up the power of other heavy weapon exotics.

1 ReplyI don't believe for a second that everyone would have Gjallarhorn. I agree that there would be a boost of Gjallarhorn users, but I sincerely doubt that everyone you meet would have bought it. In any case, Gjallarhorn isn't so godly amazing that it would completely destroy all aspects of Destiny. It is a super cool weapon, but I think you are overestimating its strength.

All of that already happens. GG.

1 ReplyGot Gally twice... Sorry guys
-
I have the upgraded version maxed but I doubt I'll ever really use it. It's more of a trophy like my vex.
-
If they need it. I'll be mad. So mad
-
The game is a joke difficulty-wise, is it really a challenge if we just keep fighting the same defeated enemies over and over again?
-
3 RepliesPersonally I think xur should have a loot table of exotics exclusive to him. That way, things like gjallarhorn stay rng based, and there's more gear to collect, and there's almost always something to buy from xur.

1 ReplyWhat are you talking about That would be beautiful
-
I think your talking about the black hammer...
-
2 RepliesMan you need to go take a good long sleep, then when you wake up proceed to hop your head off a hard edged piece of concrete until you see red! Because you my friend are nothing short of a first class plank!

Edited by Maniac Survivor: 1/2/2015 8:13:50 PMIt is a good weapon for sure, but I know a lot of people who prefer Hunger of Crota or Black Hammer in order to use their Ice Breaker or Vex. Although I have to agree with your post #soundlogic lol XD
-
I got mine at midnight release
-
I rather use ice braker if no one in fire team has other ghorn
-
1 ReplySound logic, but mostly I just think that you don't want *your* Gjallahorn to be nerfed, so you hope it stays relatively rare.
-
2 RepliesThat's a huge number of words for the same old tired special snowflake argument.
-
1 ReplyGjallarhorn is a nice weapon, but it's not the be all end all of destiny. There are other very potent weapons available. Hell, as long as you can aim, xûr is selling one of the punchiest launchers in the game right now.
-
4 RepliesI don't get it, you might be one of those who bought ghorn on week 2, so it means you're one of those who didnt "earn it" and is playing quietly while you slaughter every boss, what makes you so much better that the others don't have the right to use it? We all paid the game no? And fyi a lot of players do have the ghorn but prefer using their exotic slot for another weapon
