Really? Wish I could find some. I've managed to get 3 and that was in the last IB. Hoping for the same again.

Do PoE 34 every week and if you can 35 as well, they are easy enough once you have practice

You have 2 34s so far so that means you can get 4 etherics per week

And that's not counting Trials which normally gives you etheric light as well.

I think I have around 20 etheric lights in my vault that I dont know what to do with... just remember to do PoEs every week and soon enough you will have plenty

I've 40 odd and I haven't touched PoE since week 2, guess its just from Trials.

Varik

Don't reall get to play trials so stuck with 1 per character per week

ferrigan101

He has two level 34 guardians, so that's a minimum of 4 per week if he runs 34 and 35 PoE on each.

Edit - just seen your ninja edit Varik! Now it looks like I'm talking to no one.....

Technically ninja delete, realised he was on about trial right after posting so deleted the question and posted new one a minute later.

Ps

Sorry meant to say nightfall, but that is random.

Tis a bit silly billy that the new IB gear has to be ascended.

Thats really grinding my gears!
You earn some gear from the IB, you can only buy 2 pieces of Etheric light.
You then use both pieces of Etheric light to ascend the IB gear.

How are you supposed to ascend the weapons or any of your original gear?

I know most of us have spare Etheric light from running PoE but the IB gear and weapons shouldn't require Etheric light to ascend them, you've already earned them!

Will roll the dice on the engram in the hope of getting a Ram. Nothing else of any interest there.

Yeah me too, time to cash in some more shards for motes. Used around 300 looking for the Ram last weekend, will prolly do the same again .
Of course I'll get it, do an Nightfall and then have two.

All non-matchmade content, i think you underestimate how many people do not constantly play with a pre-made fireteam. Its destiny largest downfall imo.

In fairness he community here is generally all too happy to help out if you ask.

But I take your point about non matchable content.

Personally if content is out a month or so I think it should be given match making criteria as people tend to know what's happening at that point.

I'm not saying everyone would use it but I don't see why it can't be an option.

Just my opinion.

Agreed.

And ya, people here are decent with regards to helping out but that doesn't really solve destinys flawed thinking when it comes to content.

But it's not All Content, Only "End-Game" content.

When I think about things I don't want to be doing with messers I think PoE 32+, Hard Raids, ToO and Nightfalls.

If there was match making on these, there would be Nothing stopping a microphone-less, AFKing Lvl29 person joining Crota Hard mode.

It's a completely different (and worse) game playing with match-made players in almost everyway.

Even doing a Lvl28 PoE or a Random Strike or Weekly I end up doing a lot of the heavy lifting while Tony-Blue-Gun is trying to ram himself into every cheese spot known to man

There's enough match made content for players who don't want to get in fire teams, and well if you want to do end game content and refuse to assemble or join a fireteam..... that's ok too.... I mean other players doing CE Normal Mode with a matched team might be ok and won't stop me from doing it with a Pre-made fireteam, but I can imagine it would leave a sour taste in many new comers mouths. So match making doesn't take away from Doing it the current way with a team, But I think it's par for the course now to expect to have to use LFG

So if you dont want to do a matchmade hard mode then don't, it still should be an option. Locking end game content behind artifical and stupid walls is dumb. Destiny is a decade behind other games in this regard. If people pay for the content it should be accessible. There is absolutely no reason nightfall shouldn't be matchmade and as for the fact that feck all people have been in the raids, is that a good use of resources - creating good content the majority of your players wont experience?

"Only" end game content? You mean the best content? **** that for a game of soldiers.

murphyebass

Cormac you wouldn't have to use the match making version if you didn't want to though just like you don't have to use it currently for a weekly for example.

I've usedit lfor the weekly a few times of late just as its easier for not having to bother you guys.

I take your point though that the game is better in fireteam mode though. Been a while since I joined a fireteam on here but I had great fun the times I did.

Anyway I'm just saying fireteams dont suit everyone and surely the success of the weekly and the POE lvl 28 should give them a basis to expand it further.

Matchmaking should be an option. Even for weekly heroics I would much rather have an option to solo it, do it as a team of 2 or take my chances with randomers...

gimli2112

I'd be ok with matchmaking provided you could make it private. If you were in something and a friend got kicked a randomer shouldn't be able to take their spot.
Even now when you are doing a weekly but have to do something first, you can't let friends start it and you can join up later.

Wait - what am I missing - how do you turn off matchmaking for the weekly?

He just means that you could go full fireteam on the weekly, or the built in matchmaking. You can't actually turn it off though.

Get a pre-made.

That is the whole point - matchmaking needs to be a user selected option.

Yup, literally 0 downside to it. Dunno why nightfall isnt matchmade by default anyway, not like it introduces new mechanics.

But what happens then when you get AFK'ers ? They sit at the start and you have to do all the work.
I like to solo the nightfall most weeks and then if anyone is on in the meantime I'll invite them in at the end to get the rewards.
I defiently do not want to play a nightfall with match made teams. Its bad enough doing it in the strike playlist.

Agree completely.

Would also be open to trolls completely ruining your experience of these strikes .

Then don't choose to.

I do it for heroics unless i see anyone playing but for anything else i don't/wouldn't

Would like it in ToO but thats more so there are a few more terrible teams out there.

But I can't choose to solo the weekly anymore. So why should I be made to match make if there's nobody on ? I'd say 8/10 times I've match made for the weekly there's been at least one AFK.

And that's exactly what would happen if they put match making into Nightfall, Raids, POE and TOO. Plus it'd be very unfair on new players to be put together with people who want to go AFKand ruin the experience on them. It could put people off.

Don't get me wrong I'll help anybody run anything, even invites in the tower if they send a message, because if they invite you at least you know they'll help a little to get through it. The same with LFG, if somebody uses those sites you know they want to actually run through the content.
