I think Xur has become very boring and is only good for his 3oC now but I wish Bungie would change certain aspects to improve him. My ideas are
1 - his location changes are wider. He can appear anywhere in the solar system he can show up on Mars, Venus etc and you have to patrol to find him. Making him harder to track. He should have many locations and not be predictable. Even if he was to move between the Reef and Tower randomly and have better hiding areas then I think it would be fine.
2 - Gear Level - he should bring gear at a higher level for players. Here is the ranges
281 - 290 gear should be 290
291 - 300 gear should be 300
301 - 310 gear should be 310
311 - 320 gear should be 315
This makes him help people level up and worth finding in harder locations. The reason he doesn't give 320 gear is because I think after a certain level (315) high end gear should only drop from end game activities. Overall the feedback is his gear should be 290
3 - Nine Bounties - like every other faction or NPC Xur has his own faction level and bounties. They can range from crucible, strike, collection and raid challenges, on completion of all the quests you get 1 random exotic engram or 2 exotic shards (Dougdlux' idea). The 6 bounties could be
- Kill Atheon
- Get 10 kills in the Crucible
- Complete 5 Strikes
- Collect 10 Spinmetal
- Defeat 25 enemies with your Super
- Complete all other bounties
These bounties are only examples so leave your ideas for bounties too
4 - Xur can sell shaders of The Nine. There are Nine shaders of various colors costing 25 strange coins. Colors I would choose are.
All black
Purple and Silver
Green and Silver
Red and Blue (for Spiderman lovers)
Glowing Red
Glowing Blue
Glowing Purple
Glowing Green
Pink but not a bright pink more of a darker pink
5 - Legacy Engrams - More consistency is needed in his Engrams. Week 1 he sells Legacy Helm and Primary, Week 2 he sells Gauntlets and Secondary, Week 3 he sells Chest and Heavy and Week 4 he sells Boots and a random weapon Legacy engram. He also sells Shards for 10 Strange coins for infusion.
Just some ideas on how to improve Xur any suggestions on how to improve him?
Edit - People want gun shaders too and couldn't agree more. I never understood why they weren't in the game.
Edit 2 - When you reach a new faction level with Xur he will reward you with a package which could contain Shards, Legendary weapons, Motes, Strange Coins, 3oC or Shaders. What if there was a Nine Ship also?

yeah he should change, he is always wearing the same clothes, I mean jeesh their has to be a wardrobe somewhere, have him show up in a Xena garb or maybe a pink tootoo.
-
I always thought he should at least sell 290 stuff since that's minimum for the raid and most players who don't do a lot of endgame content seem to be in the 290s power levels

I like the shader idea. I'm sitting on almost 500 coins with nothing to spend them on. Shaders would give me an outlet.

1 Reply-Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Xur showing up on other planets, but it would be a bit inconvenient for him wouldn't it? What's he gonna do, use the gun he's selling as protection? Imagine if the poor guy was selling the Last Word. Although, I'd love to see Xur going wild on cabal with Red Death... -I'd prefer if maybe glass needles could be bought as a quick way to bring up an exotic's light. -Please, not killing Atheon. Think of the solo players... -25 strange coins for a shader?! What is this, Whole Foods?! I'd say 11 is a much more reasonable price. -YES! Exotic Shards! I only have 30 left, I need more.

7 RepliesWhy are people still playing this game at this point? I mean....not saying the game is bad or anything, but since there is no DLC for year 2 at all, there is literally no point in playing since Bungie will just wipe us and restart our characters pretty much in y3 just like the did in y2.

Next week xur pulls out no land beyond and shoots himself!!! No more xur!!! *Tears of joy*
-
Definitely agree with the gear level thing.
-
We need him to start selling shards again

Edited by AidanMaslowPhD: 1/1/2016 7:17:08 PMAlso bring back Year Two armor engrams and sell them every other week. Bungie seems to have removed them from Xur's stock and not told anyone. It has been almost 2 months since he offered one.
-
Sounds good but shards should cost strictly be 7 like it was, and its the same price as 3oc
-
I really like the idea of Nine Bounties actually.
-
Why doesn't he just sell engrams? I haven't bought anything from him for months apart from 3oc.

6 RepliesInstead of working on Xur, it'd be great if they changed their minds and actually made some year 2 DLC. They've already said they're done. The game is over. Why change Xur now?

1 ReplyLet him sell both engram and weapon again please

Misleading title. I thought this would be about something else.

4 RepliesEdited by Emurinus: 1/1/2016 2:49:41 PMFor step one I wouldn't mind him just being at the reef every other week. Going to different planets is too much hassle for him. Step 2...nope. Maybe have him sell them at 290 instead of 280, but no higher. Steps 3, 4, & 5 are good ideas.
