I just soloed the entire Thorn bounty, and I soloed The Summoning Pits and killed Xyor. Now I have Thorn.
THAT is earning a weapon. Not getting an RNG drop from some random activity.
Fite Mi M8. Now continue.
Edit: Stop saying that it's easy to solo it. You know it isn't, you don't have to gratify yourself. I'd rather just have some fun with this thread instead of a huge bragging competition.
Edit 2: Well seeing as this thread is quickly becoming another one of 'those serious threads', I may as well chuck out a serious point. While [b]recieving[/b] the bounty is up to RNG, actually performing the tasks required is what constitutes the earning part. After all, if getting the weapon was RNG, I guess that means controlling your character, firing a weapon etc. would be up to RNG. (Still wouldn't mind having a fun thread :D)
Edit 3: Well I had fun replying to that little twerp with only one useful character. Thought he knew his stuff.

I soloed everything too and I agree completely on that being the way someone should get exotics.
-
That's the true definition of earning.
-
I'm with you there. Just got through the pvp part after trying it for a week. Now onto the strike :D no pain no gain *_*
-
You have no clue how to use satire and more than likely never spoke the word until frequenting these forums.
-
Nice. Congrats man. I personally think that every exotic should be obtained from an insanely hard bounty, the kind of bounty that would make a normal person rage quit after they drop an anger turd in their undercarriage
-
Yes, that is earning a weapon.
-
Satire is supposed to be humorous, this is not.
-
Why make a post like this if its gonna upset you. Nobody really cares how anybody gets what they get except jealous scrubs. The game cost $54.99 + $19.99 = $74.98 plus tax. I earned my shit by virtue of that regardless of wether or not I spent hours playing and cheesing half of it just to say " I earned mine bla bla bla". Sorry bra. Get over it

Edited by Zoop: 4/13/2015 12:14:46 PMLol the bounty is easy, its still a matter of rng to get the exotic bounty to drop. So no, its exactly the same as getting a random drop at the end of a nightfall or something. (If any, its even easier, since everyone has a fairly high chance to get te bounty). Any other rng dropped item also requires "work". This bounty just lets you do a few things (all easier than a nightfall) one after another. Stop fooling yourself, its a game, you dont "earn" anything.
-
No one cares.
-
Satire is lost on the stupid
-
I got the bounty two weeks ago late at night woke up soloed everything like you did in the thorn bounty without any help from friends not even in crucible and beat the entire bounty in one day
-
I agree with this post. Although exercising the patience waiting and hoping for rng to give you something good is daunting. The invective bounty is almost as bad as thorn if you suck at pvp like me. But I got through it and thorn is next.
-
Hm wrong you Didn't solo your thorn bounty solo. PVP requires a team of 3-6 players nice try next
-
Earned? Playing a game and getting a weapon is not earning.
-
Well, I also solo'ed it, and agree it ain't easy, and yes, I thiught this post was complaining about xûr and how a random drop is somehow earning somthing, but exotic bounties are yes, the way to [b]EARN[/b] stuff :)
-
Now go earn invective and we can talk... Good luck.

Edited by jitsudave: 4/13/2015 9:34:49 AMI solo'd it too first time. Proper pain in the arse. After TDB I did it again but with a mate who also had it on. Way way easier. And yes the bounties are the only real earned weapons in the game. Thorn most of all as it's the hardest. Calling SGA earned would be a push ha ha.
-
I am confused, do people usually get help with the bounty? (Honest question) Also, anyone who paid their $60 and have grinded out this game to lvl 30+ have earned any weapon that drops.
-
I just need the bounty before the patch.
-
You say you don't want this to turn into a bragging session, but isn't that EXACTLY what this thread is, you bragging you solo'd the bounty
-
Thank you. I see it that earning coins to get something is pretty much earning compared to RNG
-
Was doing nightfall and weeklies to get coins for Suros, got it as a drop instead. Totally earned that gun instead of all those lame arse Xurners out there
-
Edited by Turkeybean: 4/13/2015 9:56:31 AMDoing Xyor solo wasn't bad before TDB, but after was definitely more difficult to do. Also takes longer since you have to deal with laser shrek where before you didn't. Not fightin, just throwing my opinion. Edited for personal stupidity.
-
first time i did xyor it was a twat with two people, not so bad the second time but i still wouldn't fancy soloing it. maybe if sat in the back room perhaps but even then you could still get bitch slapped by all the wizzards.
-
Not an easy solo mission, all the heroes will try to claim it is as per usual haha
