I tried getting to 3 in IB to be able to buy just 1 but wasn't able to play last night. It's so frustrating this quest for Etheric Light.

Even if you got to Level 5, you could still buy only one. So hundreds of games of suffering, for only two Etheric Light.

As of now I have 0 so that would have been something...

Im going to have to suck it up and play POE for it I guess. Im going to pray that I get some in the Nightfall this week, I didn't last week.

Were people really confused by this? I thought it was fairly clear by the way they spoke about it before this Iron Banner that you would be able to buy one at rank 3 and one more at rank 5. And even if it wasn't clear before last Tuesday, as soon as the Iron Banner went live there were plenty of sources (including right here on this very forum) that you could just get two per character.

No no, I was clear on it. I just really wanted to buy one or two rather than have to drag myself through POE. It's a completely new game type for me, and I can't say that I am loving it yet. It frustrates me and I was hoping to be able to be able to grind enough IB to buy one. Sadly, things came up and I couldn't play last night.

Yeah, I was pretty sure you understood it... but Morpheus' post was at least the second time today that I've seen people upset about the fact that you could only get one each at ranks 3 and 5.

Sorry, whenever I hear the words Iron Banner I get a headache, so I usually just skip any paragraphs about it in the updates.

The only reason I wanted to play was to try and get Gheleon's Demise--it's an insane weapon.

That was my fault, but I still think that a rank 5 should buy as many Light as they want. They seriously earned it.

"Frustrating" doesn't begin to cover it!

I actually DID get my alt up to 3 last night, but before I could go to the Tower and get my hard-earned Etheric Light my ISP decided it would be a good time to do maintenance on my service. Rebooted the Xbox, router, modem...nothing. I was cut off and couldn't get back on before the reset.

I'm gonna take a break...

Don't know if this is an option for you, but Destiny is playable over a 4G LTE connection. If you have a phone with mobile hotspot, you can play Destiny.

I completed my very first Atheon kill last fall while tethered to my phone.

If you're like me and you lose quite a bit, it's a time-consuming task.

I bought three (two for my main and one more with my alt last night). The glimmer farming had the greatest potential for being drudgery.

All in all, I had a good time with Iron Banner, better than I ever have playing regular Crucible. I had plenty of lousy games, but some great games, too. For the first time I was in first place for several (unfortunately, I usually didn't win those), and I had one game with 28 kills, which is pretty astounding for me.

I'm glad it's over, but I look forward to the next one. My regret is that I skipped it until the last two.

Or have you just been avoiding the Lvl 34 while underlevelled? I know there's a few naysayers but I've been enjoying PoE quite a lot.

We typically don't have a 3rd to run with to do anything higher than 28. I'm really not a fan of Bungie's "rule of 3".

We did a lvl 32 once though, it was nice...

I've only got one EL, from a nightfall. I'm betting there won't be any substantial new Destiny content until September. If that is true, I really don't see the point in trying to rush to the new level cap.

I learned my lesson on that last time. Shit gets boring, quick.

That would be terrible. If I could buy unlimited Light at level 5 I'd have unlimited light right now. At the very least I could buy 62 without even leaving the tower. Then another 7-9 an hour if I wanted to glimmer farm. A lot of players would buy so many that they completely lose their value as an activity incentive.

That said, 1 for Rank 3 and 2 more for Rank 5 would have been nice for those players who haven't been able to use the other avenues yet.

That's not currently an option for me, but good to know! I will jot that down for future reference.

Considering how much at least one of my regular crew dies during our PoE runs, I think it might be entirely possible to run them with just 2. :p

In any case, PoE runs are long enough to justify FTB events. I recommend.

Im sure the same goes for others. A couple times this week I've just sent invites out to make up a group for 32.

So, I tried to get 2 to level 3 during Sat & Mon evenings. I got one, & was literally 1 HW kill or 1 win away from it with my second. It's my fault, I forgot to get the buff for several games yesterday, and I got a touch too aggressive when I was 2 kills away with my Corrective Measure.

Munky was a champ and waited for me in the tower and refused to allow Lord Salad leave of the place. It's really too bad I didn't make it, so very very close. His waiting would have paid off (for me). Thanks Munky!

I ran the 32 last week in a fireteam of two - it went well until the final boss, but between the mobs, the eye and the boss we weren't making much headway. After several wipes we brought in a third for the kill (and at that point we just burned him down with ~25 Gjallarhorn shots with weapon bubbles left and right for cover).

Oh no, Dogcow. If I had known you needed more to get it done I would've stayed on later last night. I thought you made it. I'm sorry.

Oh, I got my Titan done, just not my hunter. No biggie. Like I said, it was my own fault, I really should have made it.

I see you and Jackie doing Nightfalls together pretty much every week. I'm going to start being much less hesitant to just join your fireteam without asking, and then pressure you to do some PoE or Trials.

You could by one at rank 3 and another at rank 5. I bought 6 Etheric Lights this weekend.

Just trying to clarify what you were saying in the previous post.

The utter hell I went through all week is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth going through two more times. I don't care if there are so many buffs all you have to do is frickin' log in. I'll get hit over the head with a skyscraper first.

I AM NOT doing that with my other classes. Two each then. Six is still not a lot.

If you're not into PvP, there are two guaranteed weekly Etheric Light drops in PoE and chances of it in Nightfalls.

You could argue that those are "hell to go through" alone, I guess, but Destiny has never been meant for truly solo players.

Feel free to join us any time!

We tried it at POE with 2 and it was ok till we got to the boss round a third would have made it much less painful. I think Bones eventually joined us and helped us a couple weeks ago but I haven't played since. I know I need to get some more games in absolutely.

I won't be back on till Thursday night but I am hopeful that this week I can tackle it and not get too discouraged. Nightfall will be first on my checklist but after that I am free for whatever.

The 3 person thing is silly. I still maintain that it should be 4 people for activities like that.
