In my opinion, these purchasable exotics every weekend are getting kinda old.
Seriously, they are basically free top-tier weapons with little to no challenge to acquire (don't tell me 20+ strange coins are remotely difficult, I could get 27 in less than 1 hour while share-playing someone's account).
I'm not suggesting we remove Xur, I think he is an awesome addition for those who get shafted by RNGesus, but I think he should at least be in a place that is challenging to get to. How about just after you open the vault of glass? End of a specific strike? Just in a cave (or any place in one of the patrol maps) that is guarded by some harder-than-average mobs would be awesome.
I just feel that an exotic merchant has potential to add more than just his wares to the game.
Thoughts/comments/suggestions?
Edit: removed the word "welfare" since people aren't reading past it and crying about things completely unrelated to the post.
Edit 2: the places I intended Xur to be placed were places that could be reached by anyone with access to the patrol maps, inside the vault doors could easily be accessed by just waiting for a group to open it up and running after them. If you are able to get through a weekly strike, you easily will be able to reach Xur.

Why are people saying this guy can't get 27 coins in an hour? I bet he could do the weekly strike 3 times and get enough blue engrams for a coin to pop out and get 28 coins in an hour
-
Put him in out of bounds area lol
-
Running a Dreg over with your shrike and getting a legendary engram that decodes into an exotic doesn't require very much effort, either. But I guess you consider that way more difficult than running the weekly heroic on level 28 to get enough strange coins to buy an exotic from Xur. RNG does not equal earning anything if you think earning is done through crazy feats.

My exotics pump out as much damage as my legendaries.....just saying

7 OdpowiedziYou couldn't get twenty seven coins in an hour if RNG was clinging to your leg and licking it. Nice try though.
-
3 OdpowiedziI dare you to get 27+ strange coins in under an hour. I'm calling you out. The most coins I get in a week, is around 30, and that's because I have two characters to get 18 total from weekly strike, and then I get engrams. I earn 30 a week.
-
Bull on your number of strange coins in an hour....the casual gamer with one account has little to no chance of getting 23 coins in one week
-
I think he should just spawn somewhere in the game besides the tower. Instead of trying to find him somewhere in the tower every week you would have to search all the planets to find him. Maybe even spawn in different locations for each player? Idk just some thoughts.

Just put him on a different plant every week that will make it harder lol.

9 OdpowiedziXur is meant to bring people back to destiny every week. The sale of exotic weapons reignites people's interest in the game. Bungie should absolutely not make Xur difficult to reach.
-
Let's make it difficult for you to post stupid shit!!
-
Should of made him hard to reach from day 1 not now. .Don't try to kill the joy of others who buy from him.

1 OdpowiedźI got a news flash for everyone bitching about xur. Besides the gjallahorn and icebreaker, exotic weapons are worthless. There's plenty of legendaries that beat them out. PvP is a little different but I hate the PvP in this game.
-
At least have him come once a month. Every week is a bit too often.
-
He should be on the highest pillar in the tower. The only way to get to him is to have a friend keep spamming the fan on and players have to jump up there to talk to him. Haha. It would make the tower more fun

5 OdpowiedziIt took me a long time to get the coins :/ you play way to much if you have more then 9 after a day

Put zur in those tarps above the tower, its hard at first to get on top

3 OdpowiedziEdytowany przez użytkownika HAIL_Bowdown: 11/16/2014 2:08:12 AMThe weapons Xur sells aren't worth a damn anyway. Get a raid weapon and they will be useless. The Raid legendary are way better and they don't use an exotic. Easy choice IMHO
-
This is a terrible idea. Bungie are never going to stop selling the best gear to the worst players. So the best solution would be make things more expensive, if I play at least 2 hours a night all week, and beat the heroic on both my characters I can get 25 strange coins easily. AND bam, your average casual gamer will be able to afford the weapon every single week. However when I'm gaming hard, like in fact most weeks I can reach 35 or so. Point being instead just make his gear harder to get? Then not everyone will look the same and give up trying to grind out RNG drops and just start waiting for Xur every week!
