Bungie may be trolling with Xur now:
http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2yu2cm/misc_bungies_xur_changesno_land_beyond_troll/
I tried to data-mine today and bungie has implemented a lot of changes. Instead of Xur having one single constant IP on one port, he now has multiple. If you join a tower instance and you're the only one there, Xur will have 16 different IP address. If you join and its 8 other people, Xur will have 9 different ones. Only one of the possible IP's you connect to will share the packet information you need. The others will include self-input data like controller movement, date & time, and other player constants.
To combat this I used zone alarm on each IP separately until I isolated the one that sends the packets for weapons. This took considerably longer than I thought because each unique IP only sends packets for a 45 second window and then they stop for 100ms, and then restart. This made it hard to decipher the hex code and decide if there were any patterns.
Finally, once I managed to isolate the IP, find the pattern, and looped it. Every 22 packets started with the same 8b Hex. Bungie had literally broadcasted every thing as a No Land Beyond. This is what I found(obviously a troll), but yeah:
No Land Beyond 999 Attack Kinectic Damage
No Land Beyond 488 Defense Warlock Chest Piece
No Land Beyond 366 Defense Hunter Gauntlets
No Land Beyond 447 Defense Titan Helmet

Bungie has employed 8 servers from their network, and 8 from Activision. They've employed a fail safe on 15/16. They constantly shuffle ports and IP's that lead to nothing. The one IP that does lead to anything has the name No Land Beyond for every weapon, armor, and upgrade.

I would like to thank the guy who figured out how the first guy was able to take a peek at Cur's future wares. Thanks a bunch, Sir No Fun Allowed! If you hadn't posted how he did it, Bungie would have taken a couple more weeks to patch it!Bungie may be trolling with Xur now:

I'm just going to leave this here:
Nah Bungie would have patched it in the same time. I would like to thank that guy too. I'm really glad this got patched.
Destroying the surprise of Xur is actually really bad for the whole set up of Destiny.
¡Nueve!
I disagree It got me even more excited for Xur if it was items I wanted to get. Otherwise I am just ready for Xur to let me down every week.

Look how fast Bungie moves to close the Xur loophole, but so many other issues linger.
We get that many things are worked on in parallel, and that when one thing is patched doesn't mean others aren't being worked on but it is still highly suspicious that the issues that fall under the "exploit" umbrella have the shortest lifespan.

got nechrocasm, so excited to use it
Seems it did win. Dunno how I feel about that. On the one hand, I think the game is bloody brilliant and very fun, and does co-op PvE as good as anything I've played. On the other it also has some massive flaws and is still very much a (slowly improving) work in progress. I haven't played the competition but it sure does seem like an outlier of a pick.
Pretty funny fix.
Another stealth patch conspiracy theory.
The patch addressed deeper exploits tied to the animation glitch.
thx
Knowing Xur in advance really isn't harmless though from Bungie's game design perspective. They want you to be checking on Destiny on Friday or Saturday to see if Xur has anything you need. The predictions prevent that and are a much bigger problem for the game as a whole than raid bugs... although I also would prefer if they first fixed the raid bugs.
got nechrocasm, so excited to use it
Um, I think the link is broken.
You'll not be disappointed. haha
We spend more than 500 hours in Destiny ... There's no way the game is bad. Maybe they deserved it.

Not to completely give up hope, but the guy had only pulled the inventory through August, so there is hope beyond there. Also, it didn't have any of the HoW Exotics. Xur will likely be shaken up when HoW is added to the mix since we can expect him to sell the 2 Exotic pieces multiple times like TDB exotics. Unless they will just overwrite what was originally going to be planned those weeks anyway.

Yeah, I like Destiny, I've poured dozens of hours of my time into it, but goddamn, it should not be getting anywhere near any GOTY awards. There were just quite a few games out last year where were just flat out better.

Exactly, convincing the average user to log into Destiny once a week keeps some people form buying a new game since they're still "playing" destiny on a regular basis.
This means more player retention.
I've talked about this before, but Xur is a marketing teams dream system.
You have to realize that we are not the average player. The percentage of playerbase that knows anything about megamanexe or Xur's possible items is probably less than 10%. Hell, I'd be surprised if it's more than 1%.

It's funny, I have put way more hours into this game than any other game in years. Possibly the most hours I've put in any game ever, yet I wouldn't put it within a mile of a GOTY. I still maintain it is at best a 7/10 experience. The loot system, as broken and infuriating as it is, has its hooks sunk deep into me. It's not necessarily a healthy relationship, but I do keep playing which is what they want.
