So in my quest to gain Etheric Light, of which I've received none, I've been forced to turn to desperate measures. I'm 0-9 in nightfalls, so I've tried that method, and I spent hours last week on Qodron (or however you spell that giant medal warden's name) to no avail. So what's my next easiest method to get some elusive Etheric Light...you guessed it, Lord Saladhead and the Iron Banana!!!!
I'm a casual, I admit it and embrace it fully, I have a 50+ hour a week job, 3 kids and coach soccer 4 nights a week and weekends. I wish I had more time for Destiny but I don't. I have around 550 hours into the game, which is way more than I ever thought I'd get to but I'm honest enough and content with myself enough to realize I'm not, nor do I ever want to be a hardcore gamer. Tell me to get good all you want, I'm good at life, I'm OK with being below average at a collection of pixels on a screen.
So for all of you who run into me in IB I apologize ahead of time for being a sweaty try-hard but Bungie has forced me to do it. For a casual like myself my best option (since RNG in nightfalls is 0-9) for Etheric Light is to grind the heck out of IB and sweat my beans off. So if you see a Lvl 34 Titan shoulder charging and Thorning his way to rank 3 with a KDR of around 1.1 that's likely me. While I do apologize if it causes anyone angst to have me playing like this in their game, just remember, Bungie gave me no other option.
Edit: OK so I'm not sure if it's just trolls finally finding this thread or a misunderstanding, but let me paraphrase the whole gist of this thread. I'm terrible at PvP and I know it (that's why I barely ever play it) and I don't have any free time over my current amount of gaming time to get good at it...wish I did but I don't. That being said, since I have yet to have the skill (or in the nightfall's sake luck) to get an EL Iron Banner is a great option. By making the decision to grant EL at level 3 Bungie is pushing a lot of us PvE only players into PvP since it's just a matter of grind not skill to get it. I do apologize if my loadout and playstyle ruin your IB, but I need a couple EL to upgrade my legendary weapons to 365 so my 2 friends and I who play regularly can have a better chance at lvl 34 & 35 PoE. The thing is MANY other players are in my same boat, so unfortunately for players who regularly play IB and want a good competitive experience, you now have to deal with us in your game. Unfortunately Bungie made the decision to have EL not be skill based, but able to be grinded in PvP but not PvE so for a lot of us, this is our best chance to get it.

I'm a casual too and I love it. Just enjoy the event. No need to apologise. You paid for the game, it's yours to enjoy however you want.

Quodron is easy. Just use gally, or truth or hunger and nuke the boss simple we that

Yup I got one character to 34 but ib is an easy out

2 AntwortenYou sir, are me (with one extra kid). I'm 0-for-9 too. So I'll be right there with you shoulder charging, Thorning, and shotgunning my way toward the only available source of etheric light.

Thank you for writing what I feel.

You win the internet. Glad to see some people on this forum still have a life.

3 AntwortenMe too. I'll be there with the last word setting 8 rapid fire hand cannons shots off into somebodys general direction and hoping for a kill

Sweaty beans = Etheric Light.

You can typically get at least 3 etheric light from a flawless trials run (lighthouse/rewards). If you'd like, add me and a friend and I can run it with you this weekend.

You are forgiven guardian, everyone has greed in them and well go to lengths to aquire what they desire. For me i go for the scout rifle and aquire 2 of them and maybe another shader.

2 AntwortenI have no beef with thorn, or shoulder charge. If though you see me coming arc blade in hand remember paybacks a bitch. ;) My Ill will handcannon can and often does out gun thorn, with that I say come at me lol.

3 AntwortenI almost wrote the same thing. Bungies fault for creating this situation. I would have never set foot in PVP if there was another assured way to earn EL without having an established group or the gh that never drops.. Bought the game on release, My first destiny pvp was yesterday Yep, I cost my team at least one close match simply because I was bad. It might happen again but I finished the night at about .8 k/d with most recent games positive. There were a few games where I was top on my team (that's scary) so there are a lot of us scrubbing it this week. I still can't stand hand cannons though. One of my worst games was trying to use my hawk moon.
-
Yeah, I'll run IB as well even though I don't like PvP and suck at it. Sorry, future teammates - I need me some Etheric Light!!!
-
Many are in more or less the same position. The only reason that I use Thorn now is because 80% of the players uses it, because its an easy quick kill. Using an AR is out of the question and I dont have great Pulse Rifles. Red Death is untouched and I'm too scrubby for Last Word to have good effect. Simply said, pvp isnt fun anymore. But almost everyone does for the Lights now.

I don't care do what you need to do. :)

2 AntwortenI like you, you're a good person. Do what you need to.
-
You!!....are forgiven lol
-
If it can kill you faster then you can kill me....then yeah, Im gonna use it
-
5 AntwortenDon't sweat it. I'm the level 33 (soon to be 34) Warlock hitting you with melee from 15 feet away and wildly shooting at you with my Thorn and Felwinter's lie. Iron Bananner was made for us slightly above average players.

1 AntwortenAs long as you're a team player, that's fine by me. What annoys me are the people who go 2-20 but don't have a single capture. If you can't kill the enemies, at least be helpful in other ways.

My words! I watch the next weeks and if they dont change their game philosophy im out. This game gives game content just to people who 24/7. They split the player Base
