Here’s how it works. Upgrading exotic weapons and armor is completed by interacting with the weekend vendor, Xur. When he arrives every Friday morning, he will now have a new option to upgrade one of your equipped exotic items. Each week, he’ll offer some (but not all) exotic items as being available to upgrade.

You’ll need three things. First, you need to own the original version of that exotic item, and turn it in to exchange for the upgraded version. It doesn’t matter if this old version of the item is brand new or fully upgraded. To complete the upgrade, you’ll also need to turn in an exotic shard. This recently introduced new material is available for purchase for seven strange coins from Xur, or by breaking down another existing exotic item in your inventory. Finally, each exotic upgrade costs a hefty dose of cash – around 7000 glimmer as of my playthrough of the expansion in mid-November. After turning all three of these things into Xur, he’ll hand you a brand new version of your item with a higher defense or attack value cap.

So basically all those who have actually played the game are screwed over and those who haven't played the game get an upgrade for very cheap. I really don't know anymore. My opinions of Destiny being a 6/10 is now to a 4.5/10.

As /u/Sketchshido said on Reddit: "DLC should add to the game, not reset it."

I'm very out of the loop and understand some terms but what happened with all the other offsites and "sapphire". I never paid attention to people posting things related to these in the main forums before because I thought they were stupid and just stuck to posting and lurking on b.lind. Anyone want to give me a brief history of the shitstorm I missed/ignored?

Well I feel like I owe an explanation as to the title of this post.

For as long as I can remember I have always fixated on death. When playing games as a child I would always be the first to "die" and more often than not my friends would try to "revive" me in whatever games we played. I really wanted to die and I really didn't know why.

Skip ahead to my first year of school. I'm a 6th grader and I don't really get along with people. I got bullied and picked on so I didn't make any friends. I came home with brushes and my parents asked why and I really didn't want to explain to them I don't get along with kids but eventually I mentioned something to them and they contacted the school. The following year I was moved to a different school. A charter school where I could try again.

 6th grade once more for me. I did great. I was a strait A student and liked by all my teachers but I still wanted to die. Every day that I got home I cried myself to sleep or went to my room to cry while doing homework. I really didn't want to do anything. This is when I discovered online gaming. I fixated on watching videos about Halo and other games in my free time and my grades began to drop. My family blamed games but they were the only thing that I really enjoyed. The friends from my church were hollow and often ignored me so I decided that I wouldn't be their friend anymore. I only played games. All that I had was games. Everything that kept me alive was games. I kept telling myself that the next game to come out would be great and that I should stay alive to play it. Games were all that I had. Games were my addiction. They were everything to me.

Come high-school I made a couple friends that liked games. I could talk to them about games and play games with them. Xbox live was my life and I started to fail classes. My family,  especially my father, we're entwined in their idea that I was going away from their religion and they were right. I didn't believe in God and and hadn't for a long time. My father constantly talked about Jesus coming and destroying the world and everything in it and that it would happen before I was out of high school. So I just stopped. I stopped caring about school. I stopped really trying in anything. Games started to get stale and my father's constant rhetoric about the world ending engraved itself in my psyche. I was convinced that I was going to die and I would finally be rid of the world. That day never came.

I didn't end up graduating high sch because of complications and it really at its hear was my fault.  I could have graduated but I chose to put holes in my ship. I wanted to sink and I wanted my life to be a failure so I could die. I moved back into gaming as I got a full time job. Every day at work was hell. I felt that I was working for a scam. Everything about it was against who I am as a person and I hated it. I constantly told one of my friends that if I don't quit I will kill myself. After 6 months I quit and she was happy. I hadn't killed myself but I can tell you I got close. Really Close. I had everything ready. My family was gone for a weekend and I could have done it but she called me out of the blue and convinced me not to.

It's been 6 months since that day and I still am putting holes in the ship. I could be in college but I ignored deadlines and failed to meet them. I could have graduated high school but I have ignored that too in the hopes that everything will end. I wanted to be homeless. I wanted my situation to be more dire so that I could have a better excuse to end my life. And then GamerGate happened. Everything I loved came crashing down. I wanted to go into software development and concentrate on game development but then GamerGate happened. Everything I loved and hoped to go into was torn into shreds.  My one last hope was taken from my under my feat. My life raft that I had left unscathed was taken from my by the flame wars and hate thrown about on the Internet and the people I once loved became enemies and I didn't want to do anything for them. I gave up. The past two month have just been me as an empty she'll trying to find another reason to live and I still haven't seen any hope or reason to move on.

I really want to end it. I know one person on this forum personally and he'll see this eventually but I don't really care.  This isn't me saying I'll kill myself but I can tell you I'm getting there.  I just need to find a way out if I'm ever going to get out of the sinking ship I sabotaged myself.

Edit:I'll fix issues with the grammar later. I'll also expound upon other issues at a later time. I just needed to get this out because I have been fixated on it and couldn't sleep. Hopefully this will help me get to sleep but I really don't think it will help.

I've got to say I like it but it's battle mode is poop. DD and 64 were by far better for Splitscreen Battles but MK8  does have better races.

You are aliens.

I love Battle Arena games and both of them look great. Gigantic looks a bit like a MOBA and Overwatch looks likes an Awesome hero based shooter.

Plz Cheat.

An oddity that I found myself listening to a year ago and just found it again.

Plz save me.



Edit: It got slower

Edit 2: It's back to normal now. That was a long hour.

Anyone here want to play some Super Smash Brothers Wii U on Saturday/Sunday?

Utter Chaos ensued. One of the best game nights with friends ever.

All I have to say is fuck everyone who think that emoji are cool. I will stop texting everyone of the people I know who uses them.

IE : 2 for campaign and 4 for PvP?

Looking to build an under $800 gaming PC with a friend and was wondering how we did. We wanted to match everything aesthetically and keep it in line with out budget.
Anyone have any recommendations/changes to make it better or cheaper without loss of performance?

Edit: Updated OP with proper video card.

Edit 2: We are leaning on the Intel build because it is easily upgraded in the future.

Random add just started playing but I couldn't locate it on the screen. :/
