Dismantling exotic gear really doesn't yield much of a return. I just dissolved an exotic body armor and got 3 platsteel and 2 Ascendant materials. Really not worth 23 Motes of Light.

Am I right in thinking Motes of Light can only be spent on Xur Exotic Engrams (which is a lottey what class it is for), or the Speaker will sell you a costmetic item?

So, while it doesn't seem fair value, there isn't much else you can spend your motes on I don't think?

Can I do the weekly challenge all the time or does it expire once I've completed it the first time? If I do it 5 times in a row I'll have enough coins for the Exotic Rocket launcher but I'll need some gaffers to do it with.

One and done, no repeating.. Depending on your level. The level 26 challenge is the best you can do this week, and that yields you 6 coins.
 
Aw yeah, new helmet for my Titan. Thanks, Xur!

Shards or Energy?

Ascendant Shards are very valuable. You will eventually pick your favorite exotics to completely upgrade and it will very likely involve dismantling some legendary/exotic gear on the way.

Motes of light on the other hand are an infinitely earnable currency, one of the few in the game.

Oh fuck off Xur. Last week I got super salty for missing the Sunbreakers by 27 minutes and intead used some Vanguard marks to get me gloves. I expected the stock to be different this week. Now he's back with those gloves and everyone else gets something new. Fuck off Xur. Go back to RE4.

Yes, that's true but also Motes of light are also used in Exotic bounties.

I guess it doesn't matter for me largely, I already have the helm so that's it for exotic armor, so my Motes of Light would've gathered dust anyway.

Ascendant shards, so yeah I feel slightly better about it.

You should have plenty of glimmer

PROTIP: You can buy the strange coin with each of your characters.......

So I can buy with my titan and hunter then store in the vault for my warlock?

Can any level but the strange coins?

That's some great pro tip if true.

Well I guess I'm finally gonna cave in and trade my Scout rifle for an Auto rifle in the Crucible.
You're too much at a disadvantage when using an SR at this time. :(

Any news on how or when the PvP will get some balancing?

Also being on the receiving end of a panic super can be frustrating, but dealing a planned super out at the right time is sooooo satisfying. :)

I have got my first Exotic bounty last night. Complete the Weekly Strike or the Raid.

The Raid? I will give that a miss for now...

The Weekly Strike?
Tried on my own, failed at the final boss

I will put a shout out in here tonight (UK time) - could do with a couple of people helping out (Xbox One).

Your strange coins can get you either a Titan helmet, hunter chest piece or Warlock sun breakers gauntlets. You won't get nothing from your motes though. But you can exchange glimmer for one more coin and buy the gjallerhorn rocket launcher.

So my coins are worthless this week?

I already have a Hunter chest piece. I could use the coins, and then break down the armor for materials.

Is the Xur Hunter chest piece, better than the Vanguard chest piece?

I could use a hand from two skilled players for my Thorn exotic bounty, I just need to finish the final stage. Enemies hit hard and are heavily shielded so pack your elemental weapons
 
Bought exotic engram, got exotic chest armor...and for my class! (Heart of the Praxic Fire - Warlock)

My only complaint is that it, like the gauntlets he's selling, are geared toward Sunsinger and I really prefer Voidwalker. That, and the base defense and light of the exotic is less than that of my partially-upgraded legendary. I already used 6 ascendant shards to upgrade that one - bad choice.

Was secretly hoping Xur would have a nice Exotic helm for Warlock this week because I've been unable to get a legendary and am still a ways off on marks thanks to helms costing so much for some reason.

So a lot of people getting the Lucky Raspberry from the engram, any of those actually Hunters or is this game purposefully fucking with our heads?

I thought he'd have a helm too. It sucks that everyone else gets new things but we get sunbreakers again. I didn't get them last week so I'll get them now, but I still wanted a badass exotic helm.

I can afford the Titan Helmet and the Exotic Engram. I'll buy both I think. Will he remain all weekend?

Remember, you can only wear one or the other

Can the exotic engram only produce armor or can it produce weapons as well?

Only Armor. Am I the only one that thinks the Titan exotic chest piece looks really out of place in general in Destiny? I know it's meant to make you look like a commando but it really feels awkwardly out of place.

Xür is still selling those Warlock gauntlets? Awful! Gonna blow some Motes on an exotic engram and then dismantle it for parts cause I'm ballin' like that.

does the warlock's void grenade count as void damage for the thorn hand cannon bounty? right now all i have with void damage is a shotgun and my last match i actually ended up with less points than i started with

What dies xur have in regards to a warlock ? If you Dont mind me asking he's not yet available for me yet
Some cool Gauntlets, but he also always sells a random exotic engram, this week it was a chest. I bought it on my Hunter.
The Cryptarch even fucked up the exotic engram Xur gave me. The Cryptarch is an asshole. I want to fight the Cryptarch.
I didn't even think about that, I was so excited to see what I got that I forgot it was him "giving" it to me.

I bet Xur had the perfect bladedancer armor chest all picked out for me. And that asshole put it in under his table and gave me this:
But the joke's on him. I want to praise the sun.

It still has a slot function, so those engrams
will only make chest pieces. He may randomize which slot he offers for exotic engrams and we just happened to get it twice in a row (like Warlocks did this week).

Yup that's exactly where I'm at. I've got legendary for everything but still running with a rare helm due to the stupid weekly mark cap.

Well the exotic gauntlets from Xur are better than nothing. Slowly creeping up to 26.

Goddamnit. That's the exact chest item I want, and instead I got Crest of the Alpha Lupi for Titan on my Warlock.

I really feel like I'm late to the party. I preordered the game, couldn't play last week because of work stuff, friends wedding and a bunch of other stuff and even though I had the chance to spend some time in the game this week, I'm a mere level 12 hunter. But it seems like nearly every other player in the whole damned game is at least level 22. How does everybody else do it?! No whining here, I'm in no rush, and quite content with running around Old Russia, but I just cannot fathom that so many people have to much time already put into this game.
