Xur to become obsolete. Earners Rejoice!!
So with the new DLC just a few weeks away, it would also seem that Xur will become obsolete. The new exotics are with the DLC, you know, paid content. Since there happens to be people with varying reasons for not wanting to get the new DLC, Xur can't go on selling these new exotics just like he can't sell playstation exclusives. With only 4 more weapons, and Heart of Praxic Fire left on his stock that we've yet to see, Xur's usefulness will cease to exist. Even now we have Guardians who spam forums each week about how Xur has nothing new, so just imagine how dull Xur is going to become after his stock is cycled through completely. Of course, this would also make Friday forums just a bit more dull because there won't be 100!(Factorial) threads about "Earners" vs "Xurners"
Edit 1: for those who don't purchase dlc, they will forver be stuck with the same stock xur has, and will eventually find him obsolete. Those with dlc, and all the new stuff will also find that xur cannot sell new stuff, so they will tire of his old crap, and also find him obsolete
Edit 2: people seem to think i'll cry when dlc releases and i'm wrong. Well i certainly hope you don't wait on an empty stomach because those delicious tears won't be coming any time soon
Edit 3: readings too hard. I'm not a earner, i buy gear from xur every week, and do my nightfall and weeklys as well for some rng earning.
Edit 4: gameinformer got first look at expansion, and all you doubters of my topic, looks like non expansion owners indeed do [b]Not[/b] get access to dlc exotics. So Xur is going to continue cycling his stock of non dlc exotics.

Everyone can upgrade their current exotics, but only dlc buyers get dlc exotics

2 RepliesEris will be selling em!!

1 ReplyConsidering Xur seems like a possible supernatural being, it could be likely we would see two versions. Who's to say he might not exist simultaneously in the Tower and a possible new DLC social area?
-
1 ReplyOne of the most stupidest ideas of forums. Earners and xurners. There are no differences. Cant tell an idiot that though
-
Out with Xur and in with a new DLC exotic vendor.. I Guarantee it.
-
4 RepliesI think earn means something other than what you think it does.
-
1 ReplyLol. Just you wait.
-
1 ReplyThey will be adding in extra gear for people who won't get the DLC.
-
5 RepliesUmm you do know that everyone gets the new exotics even if you don't buy the DLC lol
-
2 RepliesUr edit 3 is wrong, u are a earner, earned coins-> buy gear-> earned!!!
-
1 ReplyI only need 2 More exotic weps and will have them all (till the dlc) At that point i wont bother going to him
-
>implying Bungie won't make Xur exclusive to DLC buyers after it comes out I don't have that much faith in Bungivision anymore.
-
Wahoo!

1 ReplyEdited by Vader_000: 11/26/2014 8:22:10 PMXur is my only way of getting exotics currently. I have gotten shards/coins from the nightfall 4 weeks in a row. I have Thorn and Bad Juju, hoping for the buff soon. I have yet to ever recieve an exotic from just playing, and I have bought all but 3 of my legendaries. The last 6 legendary engrams I have recieved (out of 8 total) have turned into shards or energies. I am getting discouraged. Xur is basically my RNG. Whatever he happens to sell, I buy because I know I wont get anything else.

4 RepliesIt takes more in-game work to buy a weapon from Xur than it does to get a lucky drop on any particular nightfall or raid..
-
1 ReplyWhat if xur sells different weapons for DLC players n non DLC? New weapons for DLC players and old weapons for non DLC until they release them to everyone. There is a new vendor in DLC selling new weapons so your dreams might be crushed
-
5 RepliesxD you do know that you can still get the weapons and armor without purchasing the DLC right?
-
3 RepliesPeople need to shut up about xur. Seriously he is just another vendor. So what you got lucky and earned an exotic from a strike or crucible? As long as he doesnt sell exotic bounty weapons then you arent "earning" the weapons you get from a lucky drop. The only weapons you have to really work for and earn are from exotic bounties.
-
3 RepliesI think the proposed vanguard stock etc is to be released to everyone! This won't affect Xur, but people should get new stock from the vendors. Can't wait till dark below...

Edited by mtwiggz: 11/26/2014 8:07:28 PMWhere is it confirmed that people who don't buy the DLC won't be able to obtain the new Exotic weapons? Stated specifically in a Dev Blog they said that much of the DLC content will be provided for all players. I will not state that this will include the new Exotics, but it could. You have no idea what will and won't be included. Who even knows if Bungie does yet.

7 Replieswhy dont people just admit that they dont want others to have the item? its human nature. i got the truth and heart of praxic fire within the the same nightfall and engram i got off of it. this was my forst ever nightfall. i dont see how this is ur so called "earned." this entire rant is so baseless, a waste of time, and stupid. lets just go play the game who cares what others have? geez. i never replied to these "earner" threads, but it's thanksgiving in the US, and let us just be thankful we are alive and able to have the luxury to even own and play a video game which is not an option to many people around the world. think outside of your immediate surroundings for just a second. you will surprised at how fortunate u are in life. that being said, thise that r unlucky with drops and using xur, i hope it brings some fun into the game for u an ld more power to u running weeklies and nightfalls for coins and such

5 RepliesXur should sell exotic bounties to obtain exotic weapons and armor (rather than the weapons and armor themselves). So you BUY the opportunity to EARN them :D
-
I believe xur will still sell the new dlc weapons and armor, it will just not be equip able by those who have not purchased dlc. Borderlands used that system
-
Anybode without the dlc will find the game obsolete, not because of the guns but because of the content that is already obsolete. I keep playing just to level up more guns and be ready on my three characters for the dlc
-
2 RepliesI feel like I earned everything because I payed $60 dollars for this game and it doesn't matter how I got my gear.
-
Wait what, he's sold Praxic Fire before...
