Yep, it was sold by Xur during his 2nd appearance. I stupidly passed on buying it.
No one knew of its glory and it was passed by many lol. I am sure Bungie threw it in on week 2 for the sake of posterity lol.

if there is one week that Xur has to disapoint, I don't mind it being this week due to the PSN fuckage.
It would suck royale if Xur had GOOD stuff this week while so many people are locked out.
So, I am not complaining about Xur's shit selection too much today
I'm still locked out

Just bought Dragon's Age on amazon with some gift cards I got for Christmas. I think Destiny is going to get a bit less playtime in the next month or so. I still love it, but I need to mix it up a bit.
I didn't bought mine. I got lucky with an engram. Just two days before Xur sold it, I got mine. It's been with me since then.

hmm... didn't mean to piss a lot of people off. I didn't play Destiny seriously back then, so I didn't even know about Xur until like the 4th or 5th week? I think the first week that I found Xur, he was selling Ice Breakers.
Someone on GAF told me to buy IB even though I really wanted to get whatever armor he was selling at the time (shortage of coins). I was just lucky that he was around.

You're not the only one, I've received several arc/solar fusions, but never a Legendary void. I'm even planning on keeping one of the newer 294 rares if it ever pops up. I hilariously tried using my void Secret Handshake for Nightfall to no avail, thankfully I have a trusty 300 Final Boss that makes short work of anything from a distance.

So. . can't log on to play Destiny. I guess I'm hopping on Dragon Age.
17 coins after 2 weekly heroics. i had saved up 23 expecting all exotic weapons to cost that much. was pleasantly surprised to see Gjallarhorn only costing 17.

You and I both know how it was. Low level that early on meant you had few strange coins. I put a lot of hours in the game earlt and only had enough to buy helm of Inmost Light. Also, 2 weeks in very few people knew the greatness of gjallarhorn. I thought wasting strange coins in a heavy was foolish. How wrong I was.
haha no worries im not mad, just a little irritated i missed out on the best weapon in the game when i could have had it for all these months...

Yeah, IB was my first Xur item as well. I could see how OP it could be, but I was short on coins: GlamFM and Steroyd carried my low level ass through the 28 weekly so I could buy it. I died so much, and had less than 10 kills. Such a good memory. <3
My girlfriend got hers a week after, from the first Nightfall we ever completed.

IB was far enough in that it was a known power weapon and people could have easily had the coins. GHorn was an unknown, and personally I had just enough coins for one item that week. I picked armor since the going mindset at the time was "get to 30", and a weapon didn't help with that goal. For them to offer the upgrade for GHorn and not an outright buy, when they have offered Truth and Patience and Time on multiple occasions... I don't know man. Rich get richer indeed.

Quick question...
If I own Dark Below on PS4, do I also own it on PS3 if I buy Destiny there as well?

Are you using that lamp canon technique?Trying to solo the first part of the raid and having a tough go seems like 1st world problems about now.
It's really easy once you get it down.

neither did I. I wasn't hardcore into the game back then and had no idea what strange coins or what Xur was. IB was also the first weapon I bought from him and it has served me well ever since. So I can't hate on Xur too much

if you're on tonight i can show you extremely easy ways to do the entire thing on my titan (aside from crota)
I need to get on to upgrade my Ballerhorns. Please don't let Xur leave before then!
Actually, I have 3 Gjallarhorns (RNG was kind to me a while back). One is fully pretty much fully maxed. Do I upgrade 2 and keep the old one around until I max a new one? Or do I upgrade all 3 and go through the pain of not having Wolfpack rounds for a bit?

I'm just spamming the psn sign-in through remoteplay while finally catching up on Homeland.
I'm debating the same thing. If I can get enough glimmer I'm definitely upgrading them all though.

I wouldn't wait for it. Who knows how long Sony will take to fix this.

Afiak it's not actually down for maintenance as sporadically people are posting that they've gotten on. Which sounds like it's still just a throughput issue, whether it's still being DDOS'd or not.

Last I read they where slowly bringing the service back (europe). They can't just open the floodgates, but slowly more people should be able to get on no?
Same. I have a completely fresh/unleveled one and a stack of hand cannon telemtries that I was hanging onto for this reason. Once maxed, I'll dismantle my 300 atk version.

If you get a character to the second chest part and I'm online can I get in on that? Missed it last week and would like to get it on both chars this week if possible.

Double flame shield/life steal isn't better than longer low tier nade? lolwut
lol, I'm rather fond of all the holiday events and the snowball arena in particular.
there is no traditional mmorpg endgame whatsoever. no raids, no tiered gear treadmill, only a small number of very challenging PvE combat encounters, PvP is fully normalized (you can play at level 1 with full stats and skills if you want)... in PvE, for any endgame character you have, basically there's a deep cosmetic endgame (getting the armor/weapon skins you want or collecting them in general; there's a robust wardrobe and transmutation system) alongside whatever additional goals for yourself you want to pursue (100% world completion, beating every dungeon path, getting a legendary weapon, doing all the jumping puzzles, various collectathons/scavenger hunts, seeing every zone's big events, etc.), paired with very frequent, small content releases that tell an ongoing story and mix it up a lot in terms of gameplay variety. Each of these releases also comes with challenge achievements tied to it. Then there's the PvP and WvW (server versus server battlefields) that are endlessly replayable if you find them to be your thing.
there's little in the way of hand-holding once you hit 80, you have to decide what you feel like doing, but there's lots to choose from and a pretty good chance at least some of it will be fun for you.
I get that, and i was lucky enough to get voidfang from a legendary engram on the first weekend so i wasn't worried about armor. I find it nice though that bungie stealth sold the best weapon in the game and only those that were hardcore enough to have the coins and had the instincts to see the potential bought it. its nice having something to seek after versus just buy. its why Hawkmoon was so legendary, its why todd is going crazy trying to get praxic fire.
Using my son's hunter and I just got all the way to the bridge.
Then the darkness X 10 got me and I couldn't move.
Thanks Real. I've been using cloak and blink strike thus far.
What do you do when you get to the circle at the end?
sounds like a lot of fun, but id have to find friends to play with first
i can't really do those games solo
I made it to the bridge once.
Once.
At the end of my favorite Thrall part. Died there before the bridge formed.

I'm up to the shriekers in CE, anyone up for helping me get the 2nd raid chest?
There's a rock you can stand on, on the right of the last lamp when looking at the bridge.Using my son's hunter and I just got all the way to the bridge.

Jump on it, thralls won't attacks you there. You just need to snipe the Ogre and wait for the bridge to get formed.

for the first part, with the titan i run to the second lamp and hop on the rock. MIDA helps to move fast, with all agility perks. after positioning on the rock, it launches me up to the ledge. I follow that to the end and make a right and head past two lamps to the bridge.
when i get to the bridge, i activate the lamp and back up and let it explode. then i activate the bridge circle and immediately hop onto the rock next to the lamp, switch to sniper and wait for the ogre. once the ogre is dead i just sit down on the rock and wait till the path is formed, then sprint across the bridge. the thrall completely ignore you when you're on the rock haha

Jump on one of the two rocks next to the bridge and snipe the ogres. Try to get there with Weight of Darkness being as low as possible, otherwise jumping on the rock might be hard.
