In Destiny, the excitement about Xur, the Agent of the Nine, is high. The community manager DeeJ now promises to advocate for the players’ interests and look for solutions with the team.
This Friday marked the third time in three months that the DLC sniper rifle “No Land Beyond” was available from Xur. Those who needed the weapon purchased it during the first two times, making this weapon offering a dud this time. And the worst part: a pattern emerges. Once every 4 weeks, it seems Xur sells the DLC weapon No Land Beyond, followed by the DLC rocket launcher “Dragon’s Breath” the following week. Then there are two weeks of other weapons, and then it continues with No Land Beyond. Now it was “No Land Beyond’s” turn, so is there going to be the rocket launcher Dragon’s Breath for the third time next week? Grim prospects for Destiny players and enough reason to be upset.
Destiny Community Manager: They fixed the Cryptarch, they can also fix Xur
Surprisingly, DeeJ, the community manager of Destiny, agrees. He made unusually clear statements in the reddit forum. To a player who thought it was outrageous that Xur sells Dragon’s Breath and No Land Beyond once a month, DeeJ agreed: “I see it that way too. That’s my argument. They fixed the Cryptarch. I think they can also fix Xur.”
I agree. That’s the case I’ve been making. They fixed the Cryptarch. I think they can fix Xur.
In the coming days, he will clearly address the responsible designers about the problem and talk to the team about solutions.
Instead of making house calls here to offend people with conversations about the issues, I’m going to focus my efforts on talking to the team about solutions.
DeeJ also commented on the “prophecies” of the Japanese user who predicted Xur. Xur’s loot table is “randomly” generated. But even if a player can predict it, that has no influence on the outcome. DeeJ asked the team if it was possible to manually influence Xur and his offerings. They told him that manipulation was not possible.
Mein MMO says: Xur remains a mystery after so many months. If it really is programmed to sell “Dragon’s Breath” and “No Land Beyond” once a month in its random pattern, then it urgently needs to be changed. It doesn’t help at that time anymore, no one will buy “Darkness Awaits” because of that.
