Purchased the exotic body engram from Xur and also the item needed for the exotic bounty. Cryptarch did me right! I have the sunbreakers too, but can't equip the both, oh well.

My word, that is a sexy long coat.

 

[ced]

I have a confession to make.

After all my bitching, I finally got a purple engram and the cryptarch blessed me with exotic arms.

Game still fucking hates me though...

Guys I don't think Xur is selling coins anymore via mat exchange... I checked with my level 3 hunter and I had just bought a single coin from him in the morning. Now nothing. My friend just came online and he didn't get option from either of his characters to buy a strange coin either... Can someone corroborate with me?

People abused it, so Bungie hot-fixed it.

E: As in, no more ability to buy a coin with glimmer.

 

[X-Frame]

Any Female Titan's purchase today's helm from Xur and can take a screenshot?

Curious to see how it looks on the female model.

 

[E92 M3]

If they don't you'll be done before December.

Not really, getting cool stuff is half the fun. Then you can take it to PVP and get more stuff. What isn't cool, is playing for a week and only getting one legendary, never getting exotic bounties, weapons, and just overall getting screwed over by Cryptarch.

For next weekend I hope Bungie doesn't raise the prices of strange coins

 

[Garrett 2U]

Because the Titan helmet that Xur sells is best suited for the Striker subclass (I'm using the Defender subclass), I gambled and purchased the exotic engram. I was lucky, very lucky.

Hey congrats, I got that too!

...but I'm a warlock

It got patched out pretty quickly.

He's not. People were exploiting it for infinite coins so Bungie patched it. Sucks how the few always ruin it for the many.

 

[Darryl M R]

If I don't want to gamble my modes of light on engrams with Xur is there a reason not to buy legendary class items from the Speaker?

We know. Bungie killed it

 

[AmateurHour212]

Ok cool. I wont be on til 6PM EST, but Ill be on probably til 4 or 5AM.

No sleep for Drewbins.

Are you on PS4? What's your PSN? I will be on around the same time as you. I will be doing a marathon situation tonight. I'm level 21.5 but don't see myself stopping until I'm level 24 tonight. It's a long road but it's doable.

 

[Victrix]

Bastion is an absolute mess with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. One of the reasons I play Rumble, I don't have to see that shit.

I don't get Bastion hate, seems widespread.

Want to fight cqc? Go fight near B or A, or sneak through the tunnel to C.

Want to snipe or fight long range or use vehicles? Stay outside.

Some of my fireteam was complaining about 'taking a long time to get anywhere' (use your sparrow?) or dying to vehicles (don't go outside?).

Both the A and the C spawn can get to a safe entry to B in seconds on a sparrow, and unless you're really unlucky you won't run into a vehicle or a sniper near your spawn since it usually spawns you as far from enemies as it can.

 

[Cømet]

Still the fact he came with the same shit twice is kind of bullshit. He already has limited supplies. I guess I might as well get the 2-3 motes of light I need this weekend and buy the chest engram

I imagine Bungie saw all the people crying for the sunbreakers to be available again and figured why not. A lot of people couldn't play enough the first week to get them. You'll survive until next week.

 

[LollipoPReapeR]

I guess it makes sense. Damn it.

 

[VE3TRO]

Hand Cannon is awesome, upgraded to 242 Attack and it takes down bosses really quick.

Guess this means I can't buy a strange coin.

*sigh* Way to go, gamers.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

My one strong goal/dream is to get my FWC Rep to level 2 this weekend.

I need 1623 of it. Can I do it?

Also, how many marks is armor from a factch? And glimmer? How much do they cost overall.

 

[Night Angel]

Infinite coins post

How do? I might get a few to get me to where I can buy 2 pieces.

Edit: just saw your post... fuck that. Nah. Hell nah. Uh uh. Nope.

I would but they disabled coin buying and I'm two coins short :<

 

[Crimson_Gold]

So any other way I can get 3 strange coins outside of the lvl 22 weekly heroic? I'm sad, I won't get my gauntlet

 

[Patroclos]

|OT4| Better gameplay than Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us combined

Right, Dax? =D

I laughed.

Spoiler

People gave her a lot of shit but she was talking mainly about bullet sponginess and AI, I think she was right.

 

[LiK]

Heroic Strike for 3 coins.

 

[E92 M3]

I'm sure they will make it so you can buy coins again.

Also, are you guys appreciating the constantly changing time of day? I think it's really cool.

 

[VE3TRO]

You could do some farming, I got a Legendary engram and it turned into 3 Strange Coins. I think Rare engrams can give 1 coin as well.

This. I always have a lot of fun on Bastion, it reminds me of Valhalla a bit. Sniper fighting on it is really really fun, but there's ample area variety for people who prefer something close-up.

If I don't want to gamble my modes of light on engrams with Xur is there a reason not to buy legendary class items from the Speaker?

As of yet, I don't think so!

 

[Victrix]

Heroic Strike for 3 coins.

Already did it, I'd have to do the 26 which would be a lengthy slog, don't have time for that right now.

 

[AmateurHour212]

me and you both!

I am sitting at work ignoring emails thinking of Destiny.

Haha, yup. Same boat... I am either dicking around the companion app on my phone or on here checking out comments and replying etc.

|OT4| Dat Destiny Crack

Well there's that. Still sad though. Off to farming

 

[darkwing]

Fuck fuck fuck. Just bought the same Legendary gear twice by mistake. Used up my marks. God fucking damnit. No way to get my marks back. Discarded and got some shards back. God fucking damn.

take a deep breath, it's not a race

 

[MADGAME]

Looking to take down Xyor the Unwed tonight around 7pm Central time if anyone wants a piece of that S.O.B.

 

[Andrew.]

Precisely. If you raise rep, you're investing in the long term for a vendor that will sell you Legendaries without question.

As long as you arent farming for random drops hoping for some luck based loot bullshit, nothing you do in this game is ever really a waste of time.

...which is how they get you.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

This is the last time I'll broadcast this (i'm also about to go away for the weekend- save some Raiding for next week please!)....

For the duration of Xur's visit, if you have not used your third character slot, you can obtain infinite Strange Coins. It is confirmed working.

I do not endorse this kind of thing. The process is also boring as hell. However, I have been told that some people actually like it and/or will put themselves through anything to gear up as quickly as possible. You can also be extra prepared for his next visit.

If you haven't figured out how to do it, reply to this post. Just keep in mind that this was not intended, and while I doubt there'd be bannings (it's rather innocuous given that there's no trade economy), I do expect it to be patched somehow.

oh?

If nobody does this for you before I get back on, I'll drop a shot in here for ya.

 

[Victrix]

I fucking love it. Some of the areas are absolutely breathtaking at the right time of day.

I stopped and stared when I hit the coastline of Venus at daybreak.

Destiny is a reallllllllllllllllllly pretty game.

If they hit 60fps in destiny 2, it'll be my gotf.

There you go. Already had it for a while. Looks pretty badass.

 

[shinobi602]

So what are the strange coins used for? Also have a 'Mote of Light' as well...

 

[Patroclos]

Am I only one who thinks that it's bullshit how one weapon [Fusion Rifle] is hard counter to every primary weapon, to other special weapons than FR's and to LMG's? Maybe to RPG's too, but depends how good RPG user is and if can take shot from far away.

"Shoot to head!" -argument can be made and is true to certain extent, but if FR has short charge time and user can track you then you are dead before you know what happened.

The best advice I can give is you have to listen. A lot of time the sound will give them away. But, some times you end up leaping away from a fusion rifle equipped teammate like a maniac.

 

[super-famicom]

Guess this means I can't buy a strange coin.

*sigh* Way to go, gamers.

Hopefully we'll get some from the strikes tonight. But I'm not buying anything from Xur this week since the chest doesn't interest me.

 

[Andrew.]

So what are the strange coins used for? Also have a 'Mote of Light' as well...

Both are used as currency for Xur (the weekend only vendor) who sells exotics and legendaries.

Or it might be just exotics. All I know is he sells "zee good shit".

 

[backflip10019]

So what are the strange coins used for? Also have a 'Mote of Light' as well...

Trade them in to Xur on Fridays/Saturdays for exotic weapons. You'll need quite a few though -- at least 13 strange coins and 23 motes of light.

 

[Cømet]

So what are the strange coins used for? Also have a 'Mote of Light' as well...

Buying stuff from Xur the based, you can check his stuff out opposite the speaker's office.

 

[Nori Chan]

So what are the strange coins used for? Also have a 'Mote of Light' as well...

Coins are for the weekend vendor that will get you an exotic armor piece at 13 coins.

Motes of light can get you a legendary class item from the speaker or an exotic engram from the strange coin vendor.

 

[The Librarian]

PREPARE FOR AWESOME

 

[VE3TRO]

Aww ma gawd yes. Rare engram turned into a Legendary weapon.

I've noticed playing Level 24 strikes gives shit loads of rewards. I keep getting coins, motes and engrams.

 

[kle89]

OMG I NEED THIS

 

[Jinjo]

So I have enough strange coins for a Gjallorhorn. But I already have an exotic Thunderlord heavy machine gun.... What to do... Get sunbreakers for my lv 6 Warlock so I have an incentive to level her. Or just wait it out 'till next week.

Hope not every week is an exotic chest engram btw, would be nice to gamble for other stuff too.

 

[LiK]

So what are the strange coins used for? Also have a 'Mote of Light' as well...

Coins for Xur and the Agent of the Nine sellers

 

[dangerbyrnes]

which console? if its ps4 i'll do it.

 

[Xamtheking]

Where is OT4?

 

[Byron Bluth]

Yay! I am glad the exotic Titan piece was a helmet, since that was the only legendary item I found and did not purchase, so no wasted vanguard points here.

However, my boots are now the only thing that isn't legendary/exotic. Must find some!!!
