Okay, I've actually been giving this some thought. I got the Bad JuJu bounty again too. Does it make sense to run through an entire bounty again or just trade the old one in with Xur and then start anew? I bought 2 exotic shards last week just for the intent of being able to recycle a couple of my exotics.

I'd complete it over time. That way you have an extra one for an alternate character, or an extra exotic shard.

That makes sense, no reason not to have 2 Bad JuJu's. I really need to start working on my alternate characters.

So if shards aren't used for upgrading anymore, why do we need them?

Since there wasn't enough currencies already, bungie gave us two new ones

Ascendant shards - still used for upgrading legendary vendor armor/pre-DLC armor
Radiant shards - used for upgrading raid armor from Crota's End
Exotic shards - used to upgrade exotic weapons and armor

I'm not even sure I care about Xur anymore, I'm only going to upgrade my Icebreaker and I'd buy a g-horn if he had one, but I'm not wasting my time upgrading 10 exotics when they're just going to do this all over again in 3 months.

@53Driver you would have to redo the bounty because Xur doesn't sell the upgraded versions of Exotic Bounty weapons, however once you complete the new exotic bounty you'll have the V2 BadJuJu with a base 302 dmg to start.

Did the Nightfall with three 30's, it was pretty intense and cool because it was the new strike. The other guys had Fatebringers (arc burn) so I was hanging back to make sure we didn't wipe. Finally killed the witch and these dropped for me:



Then it was late and my gf just got back from out of town so I logged off. Didn't get to the raid yet, but I want to sooooo badly.

Video of @f0rge new sweet dancing shoes!

Are you sure about that? I was able to upgrade my exotic chest piece today using an exotic shard that I bought from Xur last week and over 7000 glimmer! Xur didn't have one single exotic weapon that I own so I wasn't able to upgrade any of my current exotic weapons. Guess the waiting game begins again.

And for those who plan on upgrading old exotic weapons and armor, you better have a lot of glimmer! I think it was actually about 7700 glimmer just to upgrade my old exotic chest piece. At least with the new higher stats, my current light level stayed the same. So that's good news at least. I was hoping Xur was going to be selling a weapon I didn't have, but he had the rocket launcher Truth again. I may buy it, not sure yet. Might just save my coins for next week.

Anyone on XB1 want to do some Crucible this weekend? I need to get my rank up to 2 and I need marks so I can purchase a helmet.

PS4 players, anyone doing VoG raids this weekend? I have not done the raid yet and I'm itching to try it. I'm level 28 warlock. PS ID: the_velour_fog25

Xur has SUROS and Icebreaker upgrades today. That's going to make a lot of people happy.

For me, I have enough strange coins to buy Symbiote 2.0 for my hunter, and then enough glimmer to upgrade my Icebreaker and possibly one more item. Can't wait to get home.

[Andrew025]

Gambled on the 2 exotic helm engrams... of course I get one for a titan and hunter. Because why would I get one for my warlock? That would be too easy, right?

Bungie must be trolling warlocks... it's been like 6 weeks with the damn voidfang.

[f0rge]

I grabbed the Icebreaker upgrade, didn't have enough glimmer for Suros and TLW.

I might pick up Suros later this weekend, I'm still looking for a new 331dmg primary and nothing the Vanguard vendor has interests me.

I will for sure, it still has cool rewards and it's fun. We can do normal mode, I still haven't found any VoG weapon drops. ): I really really want elemental damage on a primary, even if it only does max at 300.

Edit, if you're on PSN don't call it a gamertag/GT, it will get confused with XBox bros. Call it PSN or PSN ID or something.

This news pleases me immensely.
