Who wants to run the weekly with me 3 times tonight? I didn't bother running it this week because I figured there wasn't going to be anything worth buying.

by ChrisTheeCrappy, Friday, February 20, 2015, 06:55 (3564 days ago) @ bluerunner
Only need to run it on 2 characters, but I won't be home until late. Would do it tomorrow or LATE night, after MCC Customs, if you are still on.

Would love to do it. I do have a raid scheduled at 9pst though.
I thought about joining in on someone I saw doing a run last night but I always feel guilty about dropping in uninvited.

I've got a raid late tonight, but if you and Chris see me on and not running a raid, just join up and we'll go.
It's a normal raid

So you guys should be done by 1am EST. I believe I would still be online then.

I bought 300 heavy ammo, 100 for each character. I feel like I should buy more.
Edit: Yes, Avateur, I created a third character again, but for a special purpose that is purely fun/amusement. Not to grind Weekly/Nightfall/etc.
Everyone chime in w/ how many Heavy Ammo Synths you bought!
by Speedracer513 , Dallas, Texas, Friday, February 20, 2015, 06:36 (3564 days ago) @ Korny
I spent 28 coins on synths alone (for a total of 140 synths). I see above that Pete spent over twice that!
I started out pretty disappointed when I woke up to see that he was selling No Land Beyond and a bunch of armor I didn't really need. But it actually turned out to be a pretty good week for me. I bought three chest engrams, hoping for Heart of the Praxic Fire. The first one I decrypted was Heart of the Praxic Fire! The other two turned out to be Starfire Protocol (with a much higher intellect rating than my current one) and a Crest of Alpha Lupi for my hunter (with a much higher strength rating than my current one). I went ahead and bought Voidfang Vestments and Radiant Dance Machines to pretty much complete my Warlock and Hunter exotic collections. Then some fusion rifle telemetries for my recently acquired Vex Mythoclast and a bunch of heavy ammo to finish out the shopping spree; with enough strange coins leftover to buy multiple Gjallarhorns next week!

It finally happened?? Did I miss you post about it? I figured for sure when you got one you'd be going nuts on the board here or something haha

I'd say it wasn't so much a moment of excitement, but of bittersweet closure ;)

Yeah, I got it last week. Honestly I thought about posting about it that night, but I just couldn't think of what to say at the time; I was serenely speechless. I wasn't sure how I would react, and to my surprise it wasn't so much running around the living room dancing, but rather (as CruelLegacey put it best) a "moment of bittersweet closure." Playing around with it subsequently definitely was exciting though. I think since I had gone without one so long, the hype of how good it is had started to die down for me -- but running around shooting stuff with it almost feels like cheating. :-)
I imagine that if/when I do ever get a Hawkmoon - that will elicit happy dancing around the living room.

We're still friends. I'm just now the more experienced friend you look up to since I got to third base with her first.
Name the time and date and I'll continue to be your wingman as you continue your quest looking for the right Atheon to pop your cherry.

If I get Voidfang's from the chest engram, then I've got 112 coins waiting to empty Xûr of his Synth stock when I get home from work, meaning 560 Heavy! If I have to buy Voidfangs (which I want, mostly for collecting), then I'll ONLY be hitting Xûr with 99 coins, and come away with a measly 495 heavy ammos.

100 each for each character, minimum

I'm actually a little surprised to see that I appear to be on the low end of the spectrum. I'm curious now -- are you guys taking into account that the heavy ammo bug is (theoretically) going to be fixed within a week? Do you feel like you might regret dropping all that coin on 300/400/500+ synths if the bug is indeed fixed soon?

Nope, the bug being fixed would just be a bonus so that the synth stash lasts longer.
I still have 90 strange coins left and I don't know the next time Xur will sell heavy ammo. If he sells it next week, I just won't need to buy many then. If he doesn't sell it again for a month, I'll still be all set.

What else is there to spend it on when you have nearly all exotics in the game and have since releveled weapons to 331 to and armor to 36 light. I'm sitting on nearly 20+ telemetries of every kind, and have more VXO timebreakers then I know what to do with.
At this point unless Xur sells Gjallahorn or Suros (so I can get my 3rd each), or he finally sells Heart of Praxic Fire I really have nothing to spend Strange Coins on.

Probably not.
In my case, what would I buy? I have all the weapons Xur can sell. The only things I'd buy are armor pieces. Those are cheap. I have all the hunter ones, so that leaves two other possible purchases each week when and if I start the two other classes.
Armor sells for 13 coins. That's a maximum of 26 coins I'd spend on gear each week until the new DLC. That is less than what I take in. This week I got two engrams, and ended up with what he was selling for warlock and titan. So no coins spent!
So no, I went to town, and will probably buy more, and just never ever have to worry about heavy ammo again. If anything, I am going to stockpile MOTES OF LIGHT to roll a bazillion Xur engrams from House of Wolves to get the cool new exotics right away.

I bought some when I first tried the Vault of Glass Raid because Beorn yelled at me and told me to... I maybe used one during it? The rest have just been sitting in my inventory since.
I kind of play by the seat of my pants, trying to work with whatever I have, so I didn't even realize the heavy ammo bug WAS a bug till a month ago, and I still rarely notice it. If I'm out of heavy ammo I just change my strategy. Guess I'm playing mostly subconsciously or something. Plus opening the menu and waiting for it to load during gameplay (on the 360 at least) is too dangerous usually.

Truth be told, I have needed heavy ammo much less than the internet would have you believe… I probably use maybe 4 or 5 per week playing, and that's including the Crota raid multiple times. Vault of Glass doesn't really require them, since the game is generous about giving you heavy ammo after each section, and it's not as important as in Crota.
Ammo synths?
by slycrel , Friday, February 20, 2015, 12:20 (3563 days ago) @ Speedracer513
I bought 8 rare fusion rifles from the gunsmith this morning and am now broke. :D
Only 30 heavy ammo synths for the moment, to bring me up to 2 stacks in the bank and roughly 20 on each character.
I have 352 motes of light. Think I can score a HotPF?

The fun thing will be seeing you buy one at a time, going back and forth from Xur to Rahool. This is a pretty good week to do it since they're as close to each other as they ever get!
SUCCESS!!!

305 motes remain!

Good role? And are they particularly useful? I typically play a fairly mobile crucible game where getting places faster would be helpful, but not sure if the strength for intellect trade on my current boots is worth it.

So, is any of this armor worth it? I don't feel inspired.

I like Voidfang in crucible. Having grenades ready on every spawn is very useful. Works well with both subclasses. With my sunsinger I like being able to chunk 2 grenades at the guy who just killed me and is capturing my point.
Need to get my priorities in line...

I have trouble wearing any other Exotic besides my Sunbreakers, I can't barely convince myself to buy anything else! They are just so damn pretty.
