let's see, since HoW launch he sold in order: helm, gauntlets and chest piece... if he sells boots engrams RNG can kiss my ass :|

Give me my shit, bitch!


Gun feels exotic in every way. Note the red flames coming out the end of the barrel.

i got it too yesterday and i alredy have another cipher to grind for the fusion sniper :D

Warlocks don't have exotic boots - so would they let Xur sell boot engrams?

Exotic engrams decrypt into random classes anyways. Even if you opened them as a Warlock you'd get something. If you're asking why offer something that literally offers nothing for an entire class....I wouldn't really mind to be honest. Chest engrams have been sold often and those favor Warlocks disproportionately anyways.

When TDB launched, Xur was pretty much all about the new exotics.... now with HoW,.... it's the exact opposite... meh :/

At least give us boots engrams, i dont mind to waste mottes on gambling. Not much to gamble on boots anyway :D

HoW exotics sold with the trickle modifier. Still pending:

The Ram
Celestial Nighthawk
Eternal Warrior
Purifier Robes
ACD/0 Feedback Fence
Khepri's Sting
Peregrine Greaves
Bones of Eao

If they sell 1 every other week it'll be months before they're all sold. It's a smart decision imo, since it'll prevent DLC fatigue and feeling we have everything too soon, which TDB failed with. They pushed the new stuff so hard that the new content felt old too soon.

Would love to see Bungie analytics on Xur. Has to be crashing week over week. Who doesn't have this shit already?

Well, I didn't have Third Man lol.

Tried 3 chest engrams and got the Hunter Lupi, Titan Lupi, and a Praxic Fire roll worse than my current one from launch. Oh well, Hunter Lupi was the last exotic chest I needed so 1 in 3 not bad.
 
So they're gonna trickle out HoW Exotics by having 1 on sale every other week? Too soon to discern a pattern, but that wouldn't be so bad. They've still got to sell:

The Ram
Celestial Nighthawk
Eternal Warrior
Purifier Robes
ACD/0 Feedback Fence
Khepri's Sting
Peregrine Greaves
Bones of Eao

They need to do 1 "All DLC" week sometime. Like how TDB did that every 3 or 4 weeks.

Nothing from Xur again, so far I only have Nothing Manacles out of all the exotics that aren't from bounties, nothing new has dropped for me in NF's or anywhere else which is annoying (especially when I wasted most of my motes trying to get something from exotic engrams).
 
Five engrams this week. No robes AGAIN

I hate RNG.

There has to be some sort of weighting system in place for exotics you don't have the less exotics you're missing. Has to be. My friend bought 40, yes 40 engrams last week, and 8 this week. No Purifier Robes. The odds of not getting even one is just ridiculous to me. There are only 8 chests.

whats the stats on light beyond?

Str only.. fuck off.

It's always Strength only on the Light Beyond. All exotics always have the same stat roll, just higher or lower at random. 136 is the highest you can roll on an exotic Helmet, currently.

Already have the purifier robes. Any other new exotic chest armor?

Nope.

I'd love that, but at the same time I think it'd be a mistake to sell 3 new things at the same time. Consider this:

  1. Upgrading armor used to be a hassle. So many bubbles, it took a long ass time so a lot of stuff got stored and forgotten.
  2. When TDB came out, some players who joined later in the game or who went a long time with one character were still missing a lot of Vanilla exotics
  3. We're several months away from any new content dropping

Contrast this to the current scenario. HoW exotics come at 42 Light and have a grand total of 3 upgrade nodes to fill in. 2 for boots. You can upgrade these in a day with some bounties. Moreover, the vast majority of us already have all the vanilla and TDB exotics except maybe 1 or 2.

If Xur just bombed us with all the DLC stuff, we'll have nothing new to look for and nothing to upgrade way too soon. HoW fatigue will kick in too long before Comet, and that wouldn't be a good thing.

I think 1 HoW exotic per week would be a good compromise. It'd take 8 weeks, or around 2 months for it to be all sold. By the time a new one is sold, the old one will have been upgraded, and by the time you're Pokedexed (let's say August ignoring potential NF/chest drops) Comet will be roughly a month away.

Bought 1 chest engram last week and got purifier :D fucking blessed :D

I was so occupied with gambling on exotic engrams that I forgot to buy the Nothing Manacles :(
At least I got the Feedback Fence, Khepri's Sting, Celestial Nighthawk and the Ram out of the engrams. Recently found the Eternal Warrior in a NF. Might go for the Purifier Robes if I can find enough motes.

Yeah I bought only a few engrams last week and got 2 purifier robes. That some people are buying DOZENS and not getting them is baffling to me. Then again, I bought 35 Helmet engrams and 22 Gauntlet engrams and I was never able to get the Celestial Nighthawk or the ACD/0 Feedback Fence. Craziness.

edit: not even exaggerating, look how many Exotic Shards are in my vault, and I've ascended every other exotic I own already:

So I have 66 completely useless Exotic Shards. They do nothing.

You know, I like to think I've played a decent amount of Destiny but then I see things like this......I have 13 motes and 21 coins, 2 ex shards and hee haw Ass Energies.

Must. Play. More.
People who do the Daily Heroic mission x3 every day have obscene amounts of everything.

Haha, I'd been saving my Shards, Energies, Coins, and Motes for months in anticipation of House of Wolves. Almost all gone now, though I'm slowly building the collection back up again.

Only time I ever do Dailies is if I'm levelling a new weapon or armour, which is pretty rare these days. I usually do Nightfall X3 and at least one Weekly Heroic per week. Since HoW, I've done Trials and Prison a lot. The amount of loot from both of those is astounding. Before HoW, I mostly did the two Raids on a weekly basis on Hard. I almost never play Crucible unless it's Iron Banner, or Trials lately.
