I have 20+ etheric light that I grinded for during HoW. The biggest disappointment I have encountered with TTK thus far is BUNGiE's decision to remove Etheric Light's purpose in the game. Why would they place so much importance on Etheric Light just to toss them to the wayside during the next DLC? BUNGiE really needs to create some sort of avenue for allowing us to use our hard earned Etheric Light in TTK.
What do you guys think? Should we be able to use Etheric Light, or just delete them because BUNGiE decided to not use them in the game anymore?

PETITION TO USE ETHERIC LIGHT FOR LEVELING WEAPONS/GEAR LIKE MOTES OF LIGHT
EDIT#1
PETITION TO USE ETHERIC LIGHT TO TRADE FOR LEGENDARY MARKS
EDIT#2
People are indicating that exotic shards are stacking up. I agree. I probably have at least 40. It will be nice if we could use our exotic shards or the etheric light to infuse our gear. Even if it just brought items to 280 light, it would help.
EDIT#3
We are trending. Lets keep this going so it gets addressed as soon as possible. It will be awesome to see BUNGiE taking our suggestions/opinions into action.

155 RepliesThis is a good idea. I'll ask the investment team if they could add in a way to turn in your Etheric light for something in return like rep or motes.

3 Replies150 Queen's Wrath faction reputation for an Etheric light... Yep, that is an official joke
-
I agree. What the point if acquire them during HoW and acquire it now if you dont have a purpose for it.
-
I literally made this same post and people ate me alive when I mentioned using it to ascend/infuse year one gear lol but hey the message got through
-
I would be happy to trade Etheric light and Exotic shards Tuesday for a Legendary Mark burger today.
-
I think they should b used to increase lvl cap of all gear n weapons,(the higher the damage or defence value the more it would cost to upgrade), and to allow for personally customized gear(each piece of gear has a certain number of upgrades available,weapon sights explosive rounds etc for weapons and increase reload speed, carry more ammo etc for armour). u could use motes,marks and shards to have ur weapons upgrade slots wiped clean and buy the upgrades that u want (exotic weapons excluded) . I spent more than 50 motes remodelling my NA3D1 scout rifle until it had full auto explosive rounds and firefly, and now its less than useless . This would make motes, sha5rds and marks evenmore valuable and well worth the grind.
-
They should be able to be infused into a legendary or exotic to raise its defense or attack stat to be honest only makes sense.
-
I say 4-5 motes of light per etheric light. That would make doing PoE worth the grind for those who want more motes.
-
Yea legendary marks are kinda pointless since you can grind for blues that are higher than the gear you can buy in the tower. How about a etheric light just adds 2 light to ttk gear and it has a cap at 300 or some shit idk if a cap is possible without breaking something else but just an idea

9 RepliesI have 70 Etheric Light. I cannot believe that the speaker does not trade these for motes.
-
1 Replyi think Etheric Light should be used to raise Faction rep or to be used to gain 5000 glimmer from the cryptarch.

Compared to everyone on this post I suck because I tried my ass off to earn just one etheric light and my exotic shard collection never exceeded 5 at any one point. But those facts just make me agree with you more. If by some miracle I had earned an etheric light, just to have it made irrelevant, I would have been crushed and probably quit the game (at least for a while). If nothing else, why can't Bungie allow a materials exchange like it did for armor stuff?

I have around 150 exotic shards and i've never bought 1 from xur in my entire time playing this game

1 ReplyEtheric light - best upgrade system bungie ever had, and they trashed it. So it sits in my vault now wasting away.
-
Or we could exchange etheric light for legendary marks.
-
You need exotic shards to infuse exotic gear. Max light is 310. Def gonna need those shards lol.
-
2 RepliesVote for treating in for faction rep. 25/1 ratio Or trading to the speaker for motes of light or glimmer.
-
They didn't know they were Gona toss it away at the time
-
I got one today from turning in a petra quest. Wtf?
-
One light should be worth 5 marks. They were a pain to get.
-
I say leave etheric light as useless inventory. #salty #moveon

Edited by SpartyAnimal: 9/22/2015 10:28:37 PMI like the idea of trading them for Legendary Marks. The purpose was to use them to upgrade gear and weapons. Legendary Marks allow gear and weapons upgrades.

1 ReplyLol I scrapped 30 etric light when the taken King came because I though it would give me stuff XD
-
I actually like the edit 1 thats much better day something like 25 marks per etheric light seems doable
-
Why not keep etheric light for its original purpose?? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to keep old gear and content available to ascend to current level cap? If anything it would create more diversity throughout players and increase the level of options for players choices of armor and weapons What I mean by this really is it'll eliminate clones of everyone only wearing ttk gear and also it'll allow players to keep their gear they were already happy about for instance i leveled and ascended all gear and weapons on my characters I enjoyed mostly from iron banner content so to see that gear being made useless with no way to bring it up to current level caps is beyond frustrating considering the grind it took. Input on why this decision was made and how it helps the game would be appreciated
