You get home from work, load into Io, and see 6 people all standing in a circle around Xur firing all the heavy ammo they have at him.
I didn't even have to look at what he had to know it was going to be another letdown. Seriously, if Xur is only to have 4 items every week, it would probably be a smart idea to make more than 1 out of those 4 items any good. Xur used to be something to look forward to, now it's just another thing to roll our eyes at each week.
P.S. Thank you to whoever designed and added the "slow clap" emote to the game, because it really helps me sum up my attitude towards Xur each week XD
Edit: I was honestly not expecting my joke to get this much attention, so let me clarify:
I think the fact that Xur only brings 4 items every week makes people feel more prone to being let down. This is because the odds of someone having most of his inventory increase a lot when he only sells a few items. In D1 he used to sell three of coins, heavy ammo, sparrow upgrades, glass needles, and exotic shards. So, even if his selection of exotic items was not to your liking you still had a reason to go visit him or look forward to Xur each week. That reason is now gone for a lot of people, as evident by the 6 people I saw shooting Xur with Rocket launchers...

7 RepliesEdited by HollowedWayfarer: 9/30/2017 5:51:38 PMXur should have exclusive exotic shaders and emotes in his inventory. I've got some ideas [b]Exotic emotes (each costs 50 legendary shards):[/b] Jackpot- Holograms of exotic engrams and glimmer rain down from above as you shower in it Old Sport- Hold a hologram of a cocktail and copy that one pose from the Great Gatsby meme. Chase the Dream- A holo xur walks up to you, holds out a G-horn then runs away with Ha Ha Ha in Neon above him [b]Exotic shaders (purchase a pack of 3 for 50 legendary shards and 6 for 90):[/b] Glowing Gold- a primarily black shader with accents of exotic yellow that glows. Glowing Midnight- a primarily black shader with accents of legendary purple that glows. Glowing Ocean- a primarily black shader with accents of rare blue that glows. Glowing Forest- a primarily black shader with accents of uncommon green that glows. Glowing Snow- a primarily black shader with accents of common white that glows.

your last paragraph is what hit it dead on. you could always buy something from him because of heavy synths and three of coins. nobody is spending real dollars at eververse for fire team medallions, Xur should sell them each week for shards. that would at least give us something to spend all these shards we have each week. plus i rarely see people using/buying medallions since most would rather spend bright dust on shaders and emotes. just have Xur sell medallions

3 RepliesXur should sell exotic engrams for 50 shards or something like that. And in addition, maybe just sell 1 exotic engram per character so it can't be abused. So people can get stuff at their appropriate power level, and then they have a chance for new stuff if Xur isn't selling anything new for them. Then Xur would be fixed.

6 RepliesWhile I'll agree that Xur is a let down every week the real let down is... [spoiler]every exotic in the game[/spoiler]

Xur himself literally says he doesn't even know why he's here. So even he knows his inventory is bad.

1 ReplyEdited by Your Hate: 9/30/2017 7:24:56 PMI thought everyone was mad he sells exotics because then they didn't "earn" them? Now, people are upset because his exotics aren't good enough.

Xur is and always has been about helping new players gear up with extotics. After you have reached a certain level, Xur will be useless to you. He sold some useful accessories in D1 like exotic shards, glass needles and 3 of Coin but in D2, there are other ways to up the odds of an exotic drop and there is no need for glass needles and exotic shards so a quick check to see what stuff he's got and forget about it and move on.

3 RepliesWith how easy it is to get exotics. Remove xur fron the game. Also since everything is a fix roll. Tripple the legendary items. Tripple the exotics. Make them actually worth while to get. And lower the drop rate so its actually fun. Also rebalance your game so work vs reward actually works. No reason to do strikes when PE give everything faster and easier.

3 RepliesIf you see bungies official post they are actually asking people what they would want to have Xur sell... you might want to look into it since you know... your post is about this topic.

2 RepliesYou think the complaining is bad now? Wait till he has the same things, I'm calling it now merciless next week

3 RepliesWhereisxur.com It takes a matter of seconds to find out where he is and what he's selling. Why waste all that time in orbit to find out?
-
Xur should actually sell rare exotic equipment that you can't achieve by opening engrams..they should also sell at a high price 500 for one exotic

1 ReplySome people just do not understand the point of Xur. OP is one such individual. #TitanMasterRace

19 RepliesPeople STILL don't get it. Xur is good if you don't have the items. Xur will always be bad if you've already got all exotics. If he isn't selling an item you need, you will have to wait. Stop being an entitled f***.

Merciless and Wardcliff coil WAS ok but this week was just bad.

I would prefer that there would be I don't know MORE EXOTICS IN THE GAME! In D1 you had tons of exotics to work for and each one was unique in its own way. Sure some sucked more than others but there were plenty good exotics to out way the bad ones. In destiny 2 they have less than half of the amount of exotics in D1 during year one.

trash collector that sells trash 🤔

Obviously xur gets his loot from the same shop as they stock the raid loot with

This is what happens when Obama wins. :/

Does it really surprise you? Just like Destiny 2, Xur is designed for casual players.
-
He hasn't been relevant for 2 years really ... he's depressed and doesn't give a shit anymore so he leaves most his shit at home.
-
Yeah, sitting on about 1500 legendary shards, with nothing to do with them.
-
That other guy is a moron lol xur is trash in d2 I get it
-
Xur was only something to look forward to for me to buy the 3 of coins in d1...
-
If they added mods and ammo synths and hell even some sparrows it would be something. It's a weekly thing so not every week is gonna be good. He already sold the best 2 weapons in the game. I didn't have the armors so I bought them. I won't use them but it got me 3 exotics closer to having them all.

2 RepliesHunter exotics have all been trash. I'm waiting to find one where the perk is "grants auto rifle 1 extra reserve bullet and increase physical size of weapon- damage decreased from larger reserve"
