If I could see Xur on the map when checking the app, I would be sooo happy

I think he's always on the map, just in a spot where we can't see him. Having his location and stuff viewable on the companion app would throw people off, unless they could hide him in the app as well. It would explain why his stock shows up as weekly as well...

My Friday morning routine is now to wake up and check the Xur thread on r/destinythegame. They're pretty good about having his location and wares posted as soon as he's available. Then I can make a quick run to the Tower before heading to work and get what I want.

Just look for the cluster of nametags of everyone standing around him when you arrive in the Tower.

Heh, I've done exactly that for the last two weeks.

Still, when he's in the tower, it would be nice to see what he's selling from the app, even if they don't want to tell me where he is.

I had an exotic bounty where I had to buy something from him. When he appeared, the game put up a waypoint at his location :-p

I kind of like having to find him every week, but since all I usually have to do is look for a clump of name tags in an odd location, it takes some of the fun out of it.

It helps if you crouch while you do it too. Feels like christmas! Or a really lame game of hide and seek.

Achronos is on a well deserved vacation, spending his time playing Destiny and Civ: Beyond Earth.

And besides, lately I've been heads down on perf and infrastructure stuff. Apparently, lots of people like posting on bungie.net - keeping it from falling over has been entertaining... but so far, successful. :)

Figures the week when Suros is back I don't have enough coins on either console. Looks like I'm going to miss it again unless I get the weekly run on both my characters on PS4. Xbox I'm screwed as I've already done the weekly on my warlock but my titan isn't even 20 yet.


GRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Different kind of Grrr

by someotherguy, Hertfordshire, England, Friday, October 24, 2014, 07:53 (3466 days ago) @ PsychoRaven

I only just got a Suros from the nightfall. Guess I'll save my coins for Red Death when it comes up again.

wish I was that lucky

by PsychoRaven, Oklahoma, Friday, October 24, 2014, 08:04 (3466 days ago) @ someotherguy

I wish I was that lucky. I almost never get shit from nightfalls. Hell even when I was raiding on PS4 I got nothing but ass shards except a warlock bond and the shader. My luck when it comes to RNG is beyond awful.

Yup you're telling me. I think each boss should at least give one piece of gear. At least 1. You can give me shards but give me just 1 piece of usable loot damn it.

Your chocolate is in my peanut butter, dood.

I've got more exotics than I know what to do with, and I never, ever have enough shards to upgrade them.

Ever.


So, bank those shards.

You will need them later, and you will PAY.

Oh I did. They did come in handy upgrading gear I did have. that's why I have the gear to make me 29. I'm of course currently 27 as I'm leveling a new helm and gloves on PS4. lol

Once you reach where I'm at, and your armor is upgraded, it's the Ascendant Energy you need for all your sweet weapons :-p

I'm sitting on about 80 shards right now, with nothing to use them on.

I've also run the Raid 3 times now and have no Raid Gear to show for it. I've only gotten some of the Raid Weapons, further increasing my need for Ascendant Energy!

Just spent 69 Motes of Light on Xûr...

by Korny @, Dalton, Ga. US. Earth, Sol System, Friday, October 24, 2014, 07:52 (3466 days ago) @ Korny

Got two Sunbreakers, which I already have, and a Young Ahamkara's Spine... which I already have...

These random engrams are not as advertised. Bungie clearly flat-out lied about them being random if all they give you is stuff you already have. The exotic gear is on my disk, so I own it, and I have a right to use it. I shouldn't have to work hard and not receive adequate rewards for the fun I had while earning those Motes of Light...

I'm gonna go complain online about this.

Your first mistake was buying Exotic Gauntlet engrams. Yuck.

Really, I was just wanting to spend Motes, since I have so many that I figured whatevs. I don't even need gauntlets, since I have some for each class, and I prefer Chests, which I also have multiple of for each class, but eh... At this point, I'm just buying whatever I don't have, even if I won't use it...

That helmet is dumb.
Disco's dead, the darkness killed it.
Thank god.

It brought the metal. Also, metal to the moon, because.

You can't kill the metal.

The metal will live on.

Long live the metal.


-Rev want's a new helmet for his Titan, but it's actually just Lemmy Kilmister's hat. It's special abilities include being able to down a bottle of JD a day to activate the upgrade to Shoulder Charge: Titan Mosh.

Armamentarium

Worth noting that this week's Armamentarium has much better Discipline than last week's. 25 extra Discipline is only like 10% recharge improvement, but every little helps.
