Bump for Xur App Purchasing!

[b]Bump this to let Bungie know they should make Xur's items purchasable via Bungie App.[/b] I don't always have access to my console every weekend, I'm sure I'm not the only one. How disappointing would it be to go away for a weekend only to find out the one exotic you've been waiting for forever finally is being sold? [i]If you "like" this post, also comment to keep this post going.[/i] Edit 1: [i][b]Bungie App or Website[/b][/i]. Basically over distance from your console. Edit 2: Someone mentioned the idea of charging more coins for the service, kind of like a [i][b]"shipping" cost ?[/b][/i] (or service charge) Though I would prefer they didn't charge more, I'd be willing to pay more coins (or other game currency) for the service, thoughts? Edit 3: Not saying that this update/addon should be done ahead of major issues (ex. Vault space), but I think it's something that could be added to the list of cool potential updates. Aka, [i][b]this is a minor issue[/b][/i]. Edit 4: There have been a number of suggestions for being able to use the app to buy from all vendors, not just xur, and pick up/turn in bounties. Essentially [i][b]make the Tower on the app[/b][/i], for the most part. Thoughts on that? Edit 5: Some people have mentioned [i][b]the fun with Xur is searching for him?[/b][/i] First question on that is, how many people actually do that? (Vs just googling his location) Second question, those who want to find him on their own, would the option of buying via App change your ability to have fun searching for Xur? Edit 6: A few people have mentioned the idea that app purchasing, be it for Xur and/or others, [b][i]be an unlockable feature[/b][/i] not just given. I think this could be cool as it adds something else to unlock/level without adding too much content. Any suggestions as to what way it could be unlocked? One suggestion is to earn it like a loyalty service, you have bought X number of items and you unlock it. Or having a special quest line or bounties and rep to unlock. Edit 7: Some people are having issues with the idea arguing that this concept is lazy or will destroy the purpose of the tower. If that is the case, what are some [b][i]alternatives to the xur app/web concept?[/i][/b] What feature could be added to help out the guys that have lives or jobs that take them away from their console? This thread has shown me that there are quite a few people who want this and/or who need it due to being away (for work, life, other). Alternatives: [quote]"To not ruin the search, when you sign in (on the app or web) there's an option that says "Tower" on the screen. Then when you click it your ghost with whatever skin you have loads into the tower and it can do whatever things you could do in the Tower physically. (Aka [b]float around the tower as your ghost on the app/web[/b])" - Predater40 "You could buy stuff from xur (with the app) but you [b]have to go to the postmaster/special orders vendor to pick it up[/b]. So if you go on vacation for a week and something you want is sold by Xür, open your nifty Destiny app and buy it from Xur but you in order to equip it you have to go to the tower and pick it up from the postmaster/special orders vendor." - tyman57889, OmegaGundam 00 "How about making [b]Xur's schedule (random)[/b]? I work a lot on the weekends... Making his appearances random would do more for Bungie's logons too. If completely random is out of the question, at least split his days up. Like say, Wednesday and Saturday. Also who (cares) about searching three little areas to find him? If that's the case, then [b]he should appear in a random location on one of the patrol maps.[/b]" - JCub_Feral [b]Extend Xur's hours.[/b] Some mentioned a day, some mentioned why not full week? If he's around all week then less people can say they missed him. Not a full solution for those away from console for greater than a week, but good for a number of people with shift work or weekend life. - A number of people Exotic ships, let the [b]exotic ships handle tower transactions[/b]. Earn the exotic dead orbit ship to buy items from the dead orbit vendor. Maybe one of the exotic bounties is a ship that allows you to turn in/ pick up bounties. - VIISwag Buy from Xur via app/web and it will arrive at the post master the next weekly reset - Techno256 [/quote] Edit 8: An idea to allow you to buy from Xur with the app would be to make [b][i]Strange coins not take up inventory space[/i][/b], but instead to be like glimmer and be shared across characters. (This along with Commendations) Are there any other items you would like changed to "global items" (not taking up inventory, shared by all characters) Edit 9: A good number of people have mentioned the idea to be able to [i][b]pick up/turn in bounties[/b][/i]. I'm down with this idea, I feel there would have to be some limitations. Should we be able to do this? Should it only be for one or the other? If any, should there be limitations? (Like only pick up, or only from orbit, ect) This is an offshoot from the original idea of Xur, but still interesting idea. Edit 10: [i][b]Xur should not be 'log in' insurance.[/b][/i] A few people have mentioned that if they add this ability to buy Xur through the app that no one will log in on Friday. This is not, or should not, be a reason for keeping it as is. Bungie should be trying more to keep us playing, not just logging on. Edit 11: "[i][b]Selling to Xur[/b][/i]..we all get those times where we get our 4th Plan C or for me Multi Tool, why cant we sell it to him for coins...? I know most of us don't need any more useless materials to hold in our ever shrinking vaults" - Goldenwings84 Edit 12: You can [b][i]see Xur's inventory in the app[/i][/b] now, one step closer to being able to buy from Xur!
