It's a crutch. You don't need it. I used Fireborn mostly before I made a Titan and Hunter and playing with them made me more cautious and not rely on self res. I still prefer Sunsinger but you can definitely do without Fireborn. Being a tank is much more fun.

I found my Sunsinger more a tank than Titan due the flame shield... the Melee is so much better too.

 

[Deku Tree]

So like someone else posted. Could I rent Destiny PS3 transfer the save upgrade my horn and re transfer back to ps4 when everything is back up?

No save transfer needed. Your save is on Bungie servers. As soon as you boot up Destiny with the same PSN ID it loads up your latest progress on either Console.

 

[blackflag]

Yep I am back now, about to load it up

Nah I thought I filled out a bubble but had 2 bubbles instead, just 5 radiant shards short now. Which will prob drop for me in the first two checkpoints

No doubt you'll be 32 before Crota

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Sounds like he said something that he wasn't supposed to say and now he is denying it IMO. Bungie also removed that video from their servers. I heard it and DeeJ sounded 100% sure of himself when he said it. DeeJ even talked about having conversations with the people who manage Xurs stock.

This sounds the most likely. This is also the perfect week to offer the Horn upgrade. Get a bunch of high level people out of the raids (no-one wants to raid without wolfpack rounds) and running around doing bounties and patrol stuffs to level up their shiny new Horn 2.0 while all of the Xmas newbs start flooding the patrol areas.

 

[Darryl M R]

Hunters are still my favorite class. They feel much more mobile and in control of their body. Gunslinger for PVP and Bladedancer for PVE medic support. Plus awesome capes.

You are able to get on PSN?

Woah. If this is not sorted by tomorrow I'll definitely hit up a redbox and pick up the PS3 version.

Also it'll be interesting to see the last g en version haha.

A xmas newbie was following me and colonel around on earth. We let him take the sword and try to kill those 3 hive majors

I just need to get the chest three times. I'm too tired to do anything else.

Sounds good, I will just wait around till you get it 3x

That sounds kinda fun. I sorta want to meet a Xmas newbie some time too.

 

[Kor of Memory]

haha wow, now i want to hear that video. iirc, i saw him confirm it on a twitch stream (iron banner maybe?) in the chat.



if bungie picks xur's stock, id love to hear their reasoning behind it. if they really pick it then i know we'll never see the gjallarhorn again.

I think I found it but I can't access it from work.

It's actually Deej speaking during an online PvP session of Bungie vs the world or whatever.

Try this link, I'm not sure if it takes you to the right spot, since I can't click on it myself at work right now.

XBL has been fine for me. Just played another level in Halo 1. Music is still amazing.

the guys in charge of Xur sound like jerks

I'm confused how some of you guys are on PSN

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Psn down still .

cool thanks heres what was posted:

This is from a twitch, the dev response is also voiced by Deej, responding how they did (well unless he was joking)

Deej: 'it's not random, there is a plan, but every time I ask the guys who know what Xur is selling they say'
Dev: 'are you asking as a community manager with a valid concern or are you asking as a warlock that wants another feathered helmet'
Deej: 'and I say, yeh everyone is concerned about um the warlocks getting the same gauntlets and they're like
Dev: 'that wont be a problem.'
Deej: 'And I'm like well could you set my mind at ease by telling me what you will be selling for the warlocks? and they say'
Dev: 'no'

 

[Namikaze1]

Thanks!
Now I can go rest for a bit.

Main Titan got shards, energy, and a third Ice Breaker.

Hunter got shards and energy.

Titan alt got the raid mark and energy.

I give up trying to spam the login.

Sony you should be embarrassed

I tank still with how I'm specced out. I rely on flame shield. Radiance is just an extra life really. Not a crutch. Its especially useful when you play with people who aren't the best or aren't very cautious in nightfalls and such.

I roll with max armor and recovery, and almost no agility. Combine that with double fusion grenade, double scorch flame shield from claws, and speed boost for glide to counter act the low agility specs and I'm nearly unstoppable. PLUS I have two lives. PVP I'll roll without the self res though.

 

[LiK]

Just tried PSN again and still down.

Is that the current method being used to get in? Geez. I'm expecting something from Sony for this shit.

 

[gdt]

I'm getting progressively angrier thinking about my sweet sweet Gjallerhorn sitting at 300 ATK for at least another week.

 

[Shito]

Didn't believe Deej at the time, and still don't believe him now.
Like someone said earlier, to me Xur is random, but they can override it when they want to, like they did for that Suros poll one time.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Just tried PSN again and still down.

I just woke up thinking I'll be able to play and it's still down. Lizard squad or not this is the experience i had around this time last year as well. PSN was down for a while cause of the holidays

 

[Namikaze1]

If they do have a say over what Xur sells, hopefully they put up Gjallarhorn for you guys next week. Though I have a feeling it might be Dragon's Breath instead.

If they didn't sell it for Christmas then they aren't going to sell it ever again.

They can control Xur and make him not sell repeats. But they don't bother. Make people rest on their coins instead. They wonder why the community sometimes fucking hate their guts.

Pretty much this

Feel like treating the community like shit is a part of their strategy. They can't be that stupid

 

[Kor of Memory]

cool thanks heres what was posted:

Yeah, see?

This, to me, is silly. It puts meaning behind every single one of Xur's items for sale and now upgrade.

It makes it hard to stave off all the conspiracy BS you see sometimes about G'horn not ever coming back.

 

[Jainc78]

If they didn't sell it for Christmas then they aren't going to sell it ever again.

I'd be fine even if they sold it at a increased price of 50 coins. He'll even 100 coins id still buy.

 

[gutter_trash]

since the DLC, Xur has never ever sold any of the WOW factor armors or weapons new to the DLC

Obsidian Mind? Nope.
Starfire Protocole? Nope.
Dragon's Breath? Nope

 

[todd360]

I would gladly spend 100 coins and not feel ripped off.

 

[Qwell]

ok caught up on the thread a little bit while I tried to login, wasn't able to play much the past 2 days, time to walk upstairs to the ps3 and get some grinding done for xur upgrades. Are there enough people to run VoG HM on PS3? that would be an adventure.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Just lost connections to destiny and can't reconnect now D: atleast I manage to upgraded all my stuff i wanted to do.
Edit: somehow I got back online after my second attempt
Edit2: got kicked trying to join you colonel.

*"random"with higher percentages for some gear, and some completely excluded from possibility. :/

 

[Darryl M R]

I think in their mind there are multiple tiers of exotics. Ballerhorn and Thunderlord being tier 1(top). They do not want to have the top tier exotics be available for everyone, but they do want people to be able to enjoy Destiny with exotics that they haven't had luck getting from drops (teir 2, 3, etc).

How did you get on at first I wanted to join you for the gorgon chest and PSN was just disrespectful

 

[LiK]

Xur hasn't resold Red Death either. I want that now.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Destiny is highlighted as one of Eurogamer's "Games of 2014"

[todd360]

Obsidian Mind? Nope.
Starfire Protocole? Nope.
Dragon's Breath? Nope

He hasn't sold 2 original warlock armors either. Praxic fire and dragon helm. Dragon helm isn't a big deal though because its shit and helmet engrams show up all the time compared to chest engram's which last showed up before I was even a guardian lord which was months ago.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Dude you'll get it one day. It's just a weapon. Doesn't really change the game unless you want to solo Crota or some other shit.

No idea, it just let me in. And third attempt after getting kicked for the second time, I got back in.

 

[figadapaura]

They've sold Sunbreakers how many times? That seems random to you?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

It can be random but they set the loot table. Let's say for this week they put 3 pieces of Warlock armor into the table and the Random part is the game picking which to sell. I doubt the entire selection of warlock armor is a possibility

 

[Kor of Memory]

Yes he did. Red Death has been available for 2 separate weekends.

I only have Voidfang, Sunbreakers and Claws, I never saw a Praxis ever sold

 

[Frenden]

I need to hit the Exclusion Zone and make a run at Glimmer for Hawkmoon. This pains me.
C'mon, PSN.
