Braced frame because doesn't acc coils turn it from 4 hit kill to 5 hit kill?

I'm pretty sure 77 Wizard archetype is a 50 damage per bolt setup so coils would put it in the solid 5 bolt kill range.

I googled up a few of these pay to trials places just to see what they were all about and found a lot of them are offering rank 5 IB account recoveries for like $150. I think when the next IB rolls around I might toss a few ebay ads out and make some beer money.

Hey guys, go pick up your Bad Juju at Xur and don't forget to head over to Tess at Eververse and gamble with real money on a couple chances for some cool new ornaments for your new gun.

Hi I'm Bungie and I don't have control over the systems I made but I do sometimes to make some great marketing with Y1 Gjallerhorn and to get that DOSH with Bad Juju.

Bungie has fed everyone a series of confusing and contradictory comments on how Xur works but their final line was they don't curate him.

So it seems pretty silly that the week the Eververse store is selling special packages with Juju ornaments that he just happens to sell the gun.

It's not necessarily totally a bad thing because if I got one of those ornaments somehow it would be nice to also have the gun (if I didn't have it), but the issue here is that they obviously control Xurs inventory and they have lied about it, no they are making sure they can use Xur for even more whale cash. *Bungie voice* Never mind this and what that one dataminer showed, his will is his own.

I still remember the No Mans Land xur had for Xmax. Is either Xur is really random, or Xur is not random and they hate Xmax.

I think is random but theres a loophole and they hate to use it.

I think Xur is probably random most of the time but they can override it if they want but they don't want to too much because if it's obvious people are just gunna beg them to make him have what they want and nobody wants do deal with that.

I'm sure this is correct (note sure hate is the right word) but the silly/sad part is Bungie saying with a straight face "we, the developer that coded this game from scratch, cannot control this element of our game" and worse the BDF believing it.

Remember when the MegaMan dataminer guy proved there were Two Xurs. I'm sure one wasn't the rng one and the other the curated one and I'm also sure there's never been a switch on their server management tools to activate the later.

Xur is random. Xur can also be specifically curated when Bungie wants him to be. Bungie has never given us a straight answer about him, but what Bungie says and what happens in-game are two different things.

Conveniently, Bungie really, really wants him to be curated this weekend (probably next weekend, too!!!!!).

Because no one likes to be told a lie, and likes it even less when they discover the lie and the liar continues to insist there was no lie.

"Don't lie" is a pretty fundamental rule of society.

At this point, companies that ARE truthful are probably the minority, though. Life is meaningless, buy silver

I think that accusing them of violating a fundamental rule of society because Xur is selling Bad Juju is a little bit of an overreaction

bungie should chase their bliss those whales but also how about some new content that isn't based around THEM LOOT CRATES

good: "here's some new strikes, we updated vendor guns and armor, and tess also has new poo poo to buy!"

bad: "tess has new poo poo to buy."

seems pretty obvious what's bugging ABGD isn't microtransactions and it bugs me too

No, an overreaction would be to call for a boycott on reddit or post about it on change.org or threaten to storm their offices with a pitchfork.

Just talking about it is totally normal.
