The way its supposed to work is that if you get the buff every week it extends the timer to last another week, while also increasing the effectiveness. Buying the buff on a different character will however NOT extend the timer and NOT increase the effectiveness. The buff can only be purchased on a single character each week, which encourages you to only play a single class. Making the buff account wide should fix these issues.

Edited by Dooodley: 6/24/2024 8:18:13 PMXur has a bunch of QoL issues. * The issue with the buff (which I'm going to trust the OP on since I havent noticed myself. I have a main and just run pinnacles on the other two when I've ran out of things to do on the main) * Having to pick up Xenology on every character * Having to talk to Xur for the Xenology reward. Not everyone runs the activities required every day, meaning that people will save them for the weekend. It just limits when and what you play alt. you'll have to skip a Xenology week for turning it in late (mostly an issue for new and returning players) * Losses resulting in less coins - even if a match lasts longer than a NF most weeks. I dont know if it's to prevent AFK'ing but people would probably do that regardless. * The inventory stack being way too small. Between having to run Xenology when Xur is present and capping out fast it's just stupid to run strikes mid-week - unless of course you really like strikes.
