If I am not mistaken, only 2 exotic have not been on sale yet, and are probably likely to show up soon: Hard Light - Auto Rifle Universal Remote - Shotgun primary My prediction: one this week and one next week, just in time to complete the loop before expansion pack is launched. (I know everybody who does not already own a Gjagjallarhorn want that to be on sale again . But that's just too good to be practical). On the armor front: it is about time for Warlock to get a good piece (4 Sunbreakers, 5 Voidfang Vestments and 2 mediocre helmets out of the 11 tries? Are you kidding me?): Time for "Heart of the Praxic Fire" or "Skull of Dire Ahamkara"!

I am hoping for the hard light or mida, those are the only two XBox exotics which I don't have yet.
I wish he would just sell the hawkmoon though, I want that baby so bad. Also, a 2nd gjallorhorn would be nice.

I got the Hard Light from VoG. I am not impressed. It sure does spray bullets everywhere, but it seems to be everywhere except at my target...

I missed the Achlyophage Symbiote Helmet last time. Holding out for that.

Wings won the prediction contest, Voidfang Vestments for Warlock and Armamantarium for Titan I think that it's safe for all the warlocks out there to give up their hopes on Xur, forget him, just hope Nightfall and VoG can drop good armors

Hard light is junk. If you get it, it will collect dust.

Mad props to my homie, Xurizzle

Mad props to my homie, Xurizzle Gauntlets are the sale item. You would probably need about 300 Motes of Light to get a realistic chance of getting what you want.

I bought a chest engram one time probably 6 or 7 weeks ago. I got Heart of the Praxic Fire. Lucky or planned? We'll never know....

Let the new round of predictions begin! I am going ahead with the items I need the most . Why the optimism? Because we need all the help we can get to take on the new Raid. Hunter armor: don't care, have them all. That said: I predict Knuckehead RadarTitan armor: Helm of Saint-14 (since I don't have Raid helmet, I need a better exotic helm...) Warlock armor: Heart of the Praxic Fire (Time for Xur to be worshipped by Warlocks...) Weapon: Gjallarhorn! (Time for Templar/Gatekeepers/Atheon to suffer the most miserable deaths from the wraths of guardians...) Engram: Chest (Helmet is OK too) And last but not the least: bring back the freaking heavy ammo synthesis!!!

Xur's day is just around corner. Time to start the prediction game again. My prediction: 1) Hunter helmet: ARACHNID 2) Titan helmet: Saint-14 3) Warlock: Obsidian Mind helmet or Heart of Praxic Fire chest 4) Weapon: Gjallarhorn 5) Engram: Helmet if Heart of Praxic Fire is on sale, Chest if Obsidian Mind is on sale 6) Upgrade: will include "Skull of Dire Ahmakara" 7) Curios: will offer Rocket Launcher speedup (to upgrade 4 above), and heavy ammo synthesis OK, that's more like my wish list. In reality none of the above will happen. Instead: 1) Hunter helmet: Symbiote with bad stats roll 2) Titan chest: Armamentarium with bad stats roll 3) Warlock: Claws / Voidfang / Sunbreaker with no-one-cares stats roll 4) Weapon: No Land Beyond or Dragon's Breath 5) Engram: either not offered, or gauntlet again 6) Upgrade: will NOT have "Skull of Dire Ahmakara" 7) Curios: will NOT offer heavy ammo synthesis Realistically speaking: out of 1-4 on my wish list, only ARACHNID has a realistic chance to be sold, because it is new and crappy (Xur loves to sell crappy new ones to get easy coins). The others probably will never be sold, they have to be "earned".

Gjallahorn and Obsidian Mind are really my only 2 wishes.

It would be nice to have the Gjallorhorn, but I have the 'Hunger of Crota' fully leveled. For the most part, based on some observations and discussions with people.....the two are very close in damage.

I'm not sure why anybody bought just the base game for Destiny and not the DLC. Sure, the DLC is a bit overpriced, but I have no regrets for my digital guardian edition.

They will all be DLC items. As long as Obsidian Mind is one of them, I'm perfectly fine with that.

For the most part, based on some observations and discussions with people.....the two are very close in damage. I don't have first hand experience so this is purely hearsay (mainly from Post's main Raid group): It probably does not even qualify as a "baby" Gjallarhorn. None of the players I know who own both would claim it is with straight face. I am talking about players who love other exotic weapons like Thorn and really want to use them, but in the end opt to go with Gjallar instead because it is simply too good. On a related topic: in all seriousness, Gjallar's wolfpack probably needs a nerf because it trivializes many otherwise challenging encounters to the level of "cheesing". For example: Crota, the most powerful boss in the game, should NOT lose 1 on 1 against a single guardian, ever.

I'd sooner the game make us enter a PUG without voice chat like they do with strikes, than do a raid solo.
