Xur. Being able to buy such unique and powerful weapons from a vendor is ridiculous. I've seen a ton of ideas on ways to fix him, and I don't care how he gets fixed, I just want it fixed by the time Taken King comes out. I want to wear exotics that when people see me wearing it they say "Man.. How'd he get that? That's so rare!" And not "Man.. I hope Xur sells it this week!"
Take Hawkmoon and Gjallarhorn for example. Before Gjallarhorn was sold this week, it was the most sought after and most rare weapon alongside Hawkmoon and that is due to it not being sold by Xur ever except for well two when nobody wanted an exotic heavy.
Right now, 'exotic' is not a fitting term for that tier of weapons. The Taken King is a step in the right direction with quests and such to get the new exotics, but I don't want to go through getting a new exotic weapon or armor and being excited that I will be among the few to have it only to have Xur sell it that week and just be one of the millions that got it.
I get that you earn strange coins and that some exotics just won't drop for you. I'm missing the Hawkmoon and the Crux, but I'd never want Xur to sell such elusive items. It takes away their rarity and it becomes just another "exotic" that everyone has.
With all the steps Taken King is taking to move forward, not doing something about Xur would be 50 steps back. This is very much a shoot and loot game, and having some of the most sought after items be easily obtained through a vendor does not create epic moments at all. I, for one, do not feel like I've "Become Legend" after [i] buying[/i] an [i] exotic[/i] weapon.
I hope to see this changed; it needs to happen.
Edit- With all this said, I understand why the current Xur is important to people. Since RNG is cruel, is nice to have a guaranteed way of getting that one item you want. I'm not bashing people who "Xurn" I'm just saying that I think there needs to be a better system in place
Edit 2- I've taken out the part about losing value in exotics when Xur sells them bc you guys are right, what does it matter? There is no trading/barter system anyways. Also, for those of you calling me elitist, I'm not being elitist. I'm not being a special snow flake or whatever. I'm literally just wanting there to be a legitimate way of earning exotics. I don't see how I'm being elitist when I said I want people to admire rare armor I have. I mean, I want to look like a badass like nobody has seen so they'll be like "wow he did a lot of crap to get that". So yeah try not throwing around terms you kids read on the internet without knowing what they mean.

If you want someone to approach you and say 'wow, where'd you get that'....you ARE being a special snowflake. Because you have it and they don't and for some reason, based on a fictional game, you feel special or better than. Grow up.

Bump I agree it's just more fun when a gun is really unique
-
I agree with you but on the other hand you have people who have put 1000+ hours into the game and havent gotten it. Ive been lucky enough to get all the exotics(not how...meh). Its a win lose situation
-
All new weapons are about to come and just like the loot drop destiny is trying to keep players interested. For months people complained about xur selling crap and then he sells something good and now more complaints. You have to look from both sides, there will always be a side that is unhappy/disappointed. Can't please everyone and remember, it's just a game.

Modificato da xXxSoCoLdxXx: 8/16/2015 4:37:07 PMI think with TTK, questing for exotics would be similar to exotic bounties. Also,with them putting in a different RNG system it should take away some redundancy in its system. It may phase out Xur in some respects.

2 RisposteThere is a way to earn exotics.. Pay for them with strange coins, or grind exotic chances each week.

They are called exptic. Not super super rare. A Ferrari is an exptic car. Doesn't mean you can't buy one off ebay.
-
Stopped reading and muted. Just a long winded post saying "I earned my Gjally but Xur is awful!!!" Jump off a bridge for us, alright?
-
I'd rather people who can't raid or are more casual have the system the same. Games stay alive and big when they are welcoming to different audiences.
-
You sir, sound quite butthurt
-
I will agree to disagree you beautiful snowflake you.
-
I hate having to rely on A random reward system to obtain exotic weapons. I do think their should be away to buy what you want however it should require more work then it currently does. Gally should have cost like 200 strange coins. That would have actually made earning it more true and keep the casual or new player from being able to buy one since building up that number of coins takes a while.

7 RisposteThe vets among us will remember Xur selling Icebreaker for the first time in October.......snowflakes cried they weren't special & Xur would kill the game, all sounds just like this weekend......that was 10 months ago.......see where I'm going with this?

Destiny is not about to die anytime soon. It's one of the most played games out there and it's going to grow. People threaten to leave all the time (not saying you) but those folks still play. It's like a tantrum, the toys go flying but after a good cry everything is okay again.
-
3 Risposteidiot just delete your characters and quit the game, because people give 0 -blam!-s if you like that Xur sells exotics. this entire game is based of a LUCK based loot system, so just because you got LUCKY with a loot drop, does not mean you are special in any way.
-
Xur won't kill destiny, no new games will kill destiny. If other players having a PVE weapon pisses you off so bad than you need to quit
-
Oh dear lord snowflake. Enough with the wall of whiny text.

Same could be said for legendaries, why are there so many on sale? I didnt know it was [i]that[/i] easy becoming legend

I've always just thought he should sell engrams

1 RispondiIf game didn't have Xur the game would have died months ago. Huge numbers of Players would have rage quit over the horrendous RNG.
-
Exotic doesn't mean rare, it's more unique than anything. Which most of them are in their own way.

10 RisposteModificato da AVeryStrangeCoin: 8/16/2015 4:12:12 PMI bet you bought that Gally on your titan from xur, you hypocrite. And your a blink shout gunner. I bet you don't want shotguns or blink to be nerfed haha.

Modificato da OwlRNothing: 8/16/2015 4:27:06 PMLet's face it, I wish the whiners would move on already to another game .
