A very impressive stock from Xur:


The helmets he had were very impressive. Two must haves for the hunter and warlock. Both of the helmets have the very sought after ability of replenishing health when picking up an orb that gets generated from other players. This helps out tremendously when trying to do Crota's End on hard mode since you can't regenerate health like normal.

Even the weapon is pretty good this week. It's one of the less common weapons in the game so a lot of collectors were very happy. Bungie has been updating his stock so we have been seeing a a nice variety of weapons and armor here lately. There have been many people predicting Xur's stock because they have figured out his sequence so Bungie had to update it. I'm still waiting for the thunderlord, an exotic machine gun, because it's the last weapon I need to complete my collection. I don't know what I'm going to do as soon as I get the thunderlord because I have everything else I need in the game. I guess i'll just have to wait for the new DLC to come out.

This week Xur did a very good job with his inventory.


Finally he is selling something of good use and different. For the past view weeks even months his stock has not been very good. This week he is selling the Red Death, a pulse rifle that heals you after each kill. This weapon is very sought after and is very important for raids. The titan helmet and the warlock gloves are also very useful too. They are two items that I desperately needed and could not get so I am glad that he is selling them this week. Along with those items he is also selling exotic engrams and heavy ammo synthesis again. We are being blessed with him having both of those for a second week in a row. Hopefully our luck keeps going.

We're still waiting on the 1.1.2 update which is still weeks away. This update has nothing guaranteed yet but they are exploring many options. The best ones in my opinion are vault space, raid fixes, and strike fixes. Fixing all of these things would seriously help out with adding to the game's success. The most common thing that I hear people complain about are these specific things. Everyone gets mad at the raids because there are small bugs in them sometimes and no one likes to do the same strike over and over and over again. If Bungie fixes these things, they will make a lot of people very happy. Something that people don't really understand though is how complex this game really is. There are multiple systems at play for this game to work properly and they all have to communicate well with each other. One small thing wrong in one system can throw a whole different system off. It is very hard for them to update this game very fast because of how complex it really is. Hopefully they can keep up with their weekly updates and keep fixing the minor things. Having the minor things fixed is important too. For now we should just enjoy the game because it is still really fun even though there may be some glitches to it.

There's a familiar weapon in Xur's stock this week:


It seems like the ice breaker is becoming much more common in Xur's stock. It is one of the best weapons in the game but he doesn't need to be selling very often. Exotic weapon collectors like myself want more of a variety in the stock so we can collect all of the weapons. The armor he has this week is decent. The titan helmet he has available is among the best in my opinion and is very useful. If you do not have it I would suggest picking it up this week if you don't already have it. He has also been selling exotic engrams and heavy ammo synthesis more often which is really nice. The heavy ammo synthesis is extremely useful so the more he has it the better. I would say his stock this week is pretty good.

I have not played the game very much this week so I don't really have anything to complain about this week so I guess I can talk about upcoming updates and the Destiny app. If you are a Destiny player I would highly suggest getting the Destiny app. It has recently undergone an update to where a player can grab any weapon that is stored in the vault while playing. Before this update every player had to leave the game and go fetch the weapon from the vault. This would get very annoying at times because it could take up to 5 minutes to get whatever you needed depending on Destiny's servers. With any new thing there will some problems with it so with the next update, 1.1.2, they will be addressing the issues with the app. Some players have reported that they have lost their weapons while transferring them with the app so this is a must fix. Hopefully this update will come soon and after that, will be the next expansion pack, The House of Wolves.
