[u][b]#DeeJ_BNG please read bro! I know it's a lot to take it but I say this all out of respect and in comparison to a lot of other stuff you've probably read by other players what I've wrote just now isn't actually all that bad.[/b][/u] Xur has once again arrived in the tower. First let me start by saying that even though I've been a Destiny player since the games launch this past September that it wasn't until our good friend Xur had made his first few visits to the Tower that I realized what he was really all about. My first few weeks as a guardian I had no idea what strange coins were, or what motes of light were. Like most games that I truly look forward to and count the days until their release I always did my best not to spoil the surprise of learning the ins and outs on my own or by simply asking a fellow gamer for help. In the beginning I had no clue as to how the loot system in Destiny would work. Nor did I know whether or not the Exotics and other Curios Xur sold each week were supposed to be obtained other than by accumulating enough Strange Coins or Motes of Light to buy them from him. Then came my first nightfall and lucky enough my first Exotic item, a weapon at that (Universal Remote)(....yay.....)that I learned there were other ways to acquire the games top items. Little did I realize how much of a fickle bitch the loot system of Destiny really was. At first it didn't bother me so much. It was different from other RPGs with similar top tier weapons and their typical "go here and kill that then bring me said item from said monster and I'll reward you with said WEAPON OF AWESOMENESS" way of doing things was. So began the "GRINDESTINY"! (my own word =P ) This was the point at which I did the research and made sure to mark my calender and set a reminder in my phone for Xurs arrival. Xurned or Earned. Call it whatever you want. We all do the same grind. Whether they be strikes, crucible, weeklies, raids. everything in this game is EARNED. TLDR - I KNOW RIGHT! LOL After building my collection of Exotics and DOING MY BEST to keep that collection DESPITE THE VERY LIMITED VAULT SPACE THAT I HAVE TO SHARE BETWEEN THREE CHARACTERS. DESPITE THE FACT THAT BUT RIGHTFULLY SO, THEY CANNOT SHARE ARMOR WITH ONE ANOTHER ( for example I cannot equip my Mask of the Third Man on my Titan and so forth) [u]FINALLY MY POINT:[/u] Despite the stupidly low cap on Glimmer I never found myself capped out until the Dark Below was released. It wasn't until then that I had to start grinding for something that I never thought I would have to grind before. Glimmer! Not only did I have to spend a few hours capping out my funds that within minutes it would all be spent upgrading 2-4 exotics at a time and then I would have to grind yet again to cap out my glimmer just to re-level my newly upgraded exotics (not so much NEW but we can all agree here that we paid for Bungie to change the attack and defensive values on them for waaaaaaaaay too much.) [u]My Second Point:[/u] By now most of us Day 1 players have every or are close to having every exotic in the game. That's a buttload of glimmer grinding! Up until and I mean literally the week The Dark Below came out I had never been a proud Gjallarhorn owner and it SUCKS! Not the Gjallarhorn, but the ammo required to feed the wolves! (see what I did there lol) Before I ever owned one and only after I had stopped running out of things to buy from Xur with my coins that I had absolutely no problem spending my coins on Heavy Ammo Synthesis! 1 Strange Coin for 5 heavy ammo was a godsend compared to the ridiculous crap Eris Morn expects me to pay her! 10 wax idols for 1 heavy ammo!? No way! BUNGIE, DEEJ, WE KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING HARD TO FIX THE AMMO LOSS BUG AND I FOR ONE CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM THAT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH IT WILL BE FIXED. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY HASN'T XUR SOLD HEAVY AMMO IN THE PAST 4-5 WEEKS??? THE AMOUNT OF PLAYER MONEY SPENT ON HEAVY AMMO THAT EVENTUALLY ENDS UP IN LIMBO OR LOST DUE TO THE AMMO BUG IS REALLY STARTING TO HURT A LOT OF PLAYERS AND YES I SPEAK FOR MYSELF AS WELL. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO REFUSE TO RAID UNTIL XUR HAS HEAVY AMMO AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOTHING TO SPEND MY STRANGE COINS ON ANYMORE WHICH PRETTY MUCH MAKES DOING THE WEEKLY HEROICS AND NIGHTFALLS(I SAY NIGHTFALL FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING COINS AS A REWARD) POINTLESS FOR MOST EXCEPT TO JUST KEEP STACKING THEM UP IN OUR TINY LITTLE VAULTS PRAYING FOR HEAVY AMMO TO BE IN XURS BAG NEXT WEEK!!!! P.S. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS TO SEPARATE XURS INVENTORY BETWEEN THE CONSOLE FAMILIES. AS IN EVERY WEEK XBOX AND PLAYSTATION WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT XURVENTORY TO CHOOSE FROM, THUS GIVING PLAYSTATION OWNERS THE CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THESE PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVES! I HAVE EVERY EXOTIC WEAPON IN THE GAME EXCEPT FOR HAWKMOON. A PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVE. I AM A PLAYSTATION PLAYER AND ALREADY HAVE THE MONTE CARLO AND THE FOURTH HORSEMAN. IT WOULD HONESTLY BREAK MY HEART TO WIND UP WAITING UNTIL THE EXCLUSIVITY OF THESE WEAPONS IS OVER AND SEEING PEOPLE ON XBOX GET THE HAWKMOON BEFORE ME. [u][b]#DeeJ_BNG please read bro!
