Nonsense! They revealed that the ultimate team activity in Destiny is...wait for it...

RIFT

Yeah. Rift. Not the raids that many of us spent over a year playing every week. Rift.

Rift. Where one player gets all the points if they score. Rift. Where most of the time people don't even bother defending the runner because the runner gets all the points if they score. Rift.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

OK Folks, it's Xur Report time! Well, I hope it's time. Time has been a real strange bitch this morning, and I have had what could only be explained as a temporal displacement during my Xur Report. I believe I actually shifted through time and space in my attempt to bring you Xur's deals this week. The reasons for this are unknown.

Anyway, my results can be found in the video report coming up later.

Xur can be found in Center Tower, next to the Crucible Quartermaster. Here's his deals:



For the Titan, it's Ruin Wings. Heavy ammo, lots of heavy ammo.

For the Hunter, it's Mask Of The Third Man. I didn't do it, it was the Third Man.

For the Warlock, it's Light Beyond Nemesis. Revive fast...and often...

No engram this week because...

The weapon this week is Truth. Because not enough people have this in Iron Banner already.

The Legacy Engram is for Gjallarhorns...I mean heavy weapons. Don't buy unless you need a GHorn.

And that's that. Stay tuned for the Video Report, coming up in a bit...or it already came up, I'm not sure how this temporal displacement will effect me...

Thanks.

They seriously need some new content.

Has anybody actually used those fibers Xur sells for exotics?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

They come in handy. I use them when I want faster reload speeds and more ammo for specific weapon classes.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

So what does it do again? It doesn't affect the attributes of the exotic, does it?

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Video is now up. Sorry for the delay.

Glass needles reforge exotic armor. It doesn't change the exotic perks, but the other perks are fair game.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Just got an email from Bungie saying I have some glimmer at the postmaster to pick up. Any idea what this is for?

Not complaining, as I am probably the only person who really needs glimmer.

helmet and fusion are the rewards

I'm shit at trials, but if anyone needs a third to at least try for the helmet I would be interested.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

That is actually very cool - though I don't care for the colors - I'd use a different shader

weekly updates now hold less excitement than the arrival of Xur and I don't care about the weekly arrival of Xur

That makes Xur a sad Panda.

But you might be interested to learn that this week, "Xur" has invaded my report and has given me an exclusive roadmap for the future. That's right "Xur" talks about what's coming down the road, though he really couldn't be too specific about dates.

So tune into the video report to find out what changes are coming.

Until then, here's some walls of text.

Xur is located in North Tower past the speaker at the end of the walkway.



For the Titan, it's the Mk. 44 Stand Asides. Run around and shoulder charge people!

For the Hunter, it's the Graviton Forfeit helmet. Roll around in a poof of pink smoke!

For the Warlock, it's the Nothing Manacles. Watch as people run away from your tracking scatter grenades!

No engram this week because...

The weapon this week is Hawkmoon (sorry chase!). Shoot people with lucky bullets.

The Legacy Engram this week is for Primary Weapons. Chase, go and get your Year 1 Hawkmoon! For everyone else, refer to my Legacy Engrams: A Cautionary Tale video that I made the last time Xur sold a primary engram before diving in that pit.

And that'll do it for the text report. Stay tuned for the video report, coming right up.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

I'm pretty tempted on that Legacy engram. Is it supposed to be weighted towards the weapons you don't already have?

Yes. If Hawkmoon is the only one not in your kiosk for Y1, then it should come up for you. When I did my video, every weapon I got was one I didn't have a Y1 version of. The ones I did have didn't come up.

Re: Bungie - Destiny

Well, unlike some weekly visitors to the Bungie Universe, Xur has returned at his specified time and that means I have returned at mine to bring you The Xur Report! Yep, even my Internet going down shortly before reset has not stopped me from finding my way to the Tower to bring you Xur's deals.

"Xur" will have a little more to say about that in the video report, as he seems to take offense at those who don't keep a proper schedule. Can't say I blame him...

Xur is located in the Hangar this week, down in the lounge.



For the Titan, it's An Insurmountable Skullfort. Lots and lots of melees!

For the Hunter, it's the Achlyophage Symbiote helmet. You get an extra Golden Gun shot with this. However, what they don't tell you is that your time to use Golden Gun goes down when you use it. This was a nerf added for Year 2. It goes from very useful to barely useful because of this (not that many use Gunslingers at this point).

For the Warlock, it's The Heart Of The Praxic Fire. Look sexy while dealing more damage in Radiance.

Fun note! Xur offered these three items together back on December 18th. And where was Xur that week? The Cantina (It was Star Wars day).

No weapon this week because...

The Exotic Engram this week is for Helmets. Be careful here because...

The Legacy Engram this week is for Helmets.

Yes, the exotic and legacy engrams are for the same item this week. That is a first for Xur. And just because I love you guys, I checked on that. That's how I discovered the fun note above. You won't find that in the video report, it's a DVDTalk Exclusive.

So like I was saying, both engrams look the same this week. But the first one is a Y2 item for 19 coins, and the second is a Y1 item for 29 coins. Make sure you pick the right one. And by the right one, I mean the one on the left, not on the right.

And that'll do it for the text report this week. Stay tuned for the video report, coming right up.
