I have 11 bits of Etheric Light
Thats ridiculous, I only have 1 (I have admittedly been quite lazy this week!) Presumably, you got most of those from Trials, right? Most I could have gotten last week from PvE, assuming no NF drops, is 6. That assumes successful completion of 3 x lvl 34 and 3 x lvl 35 PoE. Which would equate to around 15 - 20 hours gameplay even if things go reasonably well on every attempt (which seems unlikely on lvl 35 based on experience to date). No thanks!Just goes to show how unbalanced the game seems to be in favour of PVP rewards at the moment. I'm guessing you've also used a few and 11 is just what you have left.

I'm more likely than ever to delete a character and start a Titan as I'm getting bored. Anybody fancy starting over?! It'll probably be after this IB week. I NEED the new hunter cape. 
Very tempted to join you - I think the Warlock might have to go in favour of a Titan. Thing is though, it won't take us that long to level up and then we'll be bored again...I seriously don't think I'm going to bother with NF this week but, I'll be on for a lvl 34 PoE at some point for the etheric light.

Iron Banner starts at 6pm this evening, with a few new interesting changes compared to last time, main one IMO being Etheric Light at Lvl3+5, and tying in to this, once a character has reached max rank, the others get a boost to help them level up.
The Titan ToO boots last week topped CE for me, Heavy Ammo and Scout Rifle ammo!

I've only been in 2 PoE level 34s, so yep, all from ToO. It seems to be random, but you get 1 to 2 bits from the chest at the Light House and at least 2 from the gold and silver tiers. 18 drops per week is not impossible. I have all weapons upgraded that I want (FB, VoC, Found Verdict, 2 x LDRs etc) and all armour ascended as well. The 11 are just left over, so you're right, it is imbalanced.
I can't decide whether to delete the second hunter or the warlock. I detest playing as a warlock and hunters rule the roost in PvP so it makes sense to delete the warlock. BUT, the self-res is uber helpful when solo'ing NFs and it would be nice to have 1 of each. Kaney deleted his warlock yesterday and had started a second hunter...

All they've done is make PvP equivalent to PvE in terms of rewards.
It used to be that PvP only players had to wait months to get the highest level armour and they only got it from Iron Banner. Now PvP players can get top level armour just as quick as PvE players.
Of course, if you play both PvE and PvP, you now get twice as many opportunities to get top level armour.

I ascended my VoG boots for my characters - still get the heavy ammo perk and they had decent rolls. Plus they don't look hideously ugly. The Titan ToO boots last week topped CE for me, Heavy Ammo and Scout Rifle ammo!

Looks to me as though it is unbalanced in favour of PVP, not that it matters. It took less than a week to get the 2 characters I needed to lvl 34 and the PoE weapons all seem a bit rubbish so, there really isn't much to grind for already! In fact, my main motivation to play is to ascend the old wepaons. Everything else is a bit mehIt used to be that PvP only players had to wait months to get the highest level armour and they only got it from Iron Banner.

PvE has opportunities to get 2x Etheric light per character per week, plus 2 chances at level 42 armor, plus two chances at level 42 weapons, plus any that drop in the nightfall or PoE chests.
PvP has one level 42 armor and one 42 weapon for sale, plus you get 2 etheric lights if you get 8 wins on your ticket.
If you go flawless, you get a chance of another Etheric light and a primary weapon with an element. Going flawless is extremely difficult though (something like 1 in 10 ToO players manage it per week).

I guess I must just hang out with a lot of Elite PVP players then PvE has opportunities to get 2x Etheric light per character per week, plus 2 chances at level 42 armor, plus two chances at level 42 weapons, plus any that drop in the nightfall or PoE chests.

As for PVP abeing biased..... I think it's just been balanced. Rewards and drops have always been poor or non existent in PVP in the past.
POE has become boring fast, rinse and repeat.
Looking forward to a bit of IB, just not sure if to Warlock or Hunter it, I won't have time for both. Can't wait for a bit of 6 man action eh Singhs?
Shane, I found this after our shotgun musings the other night http://www.reddit.com/r/CruciblePlaybook/comments/... might be of interest. I was looking at whether the Party Crasher was worth keeping.
I'm really looking forward to some 6 man action, and gonna be Bannering as my Hunter. I'll be on throughout the day as of tomorrow.

Range is insane now.
Might warlock the IB this time for a change but I do like my new Capri Sun gloves on my hunter

I'd like a Felwinter's Lie.
Me too. Is it a random drop this time round or for sale? I've lost track on what's been sold and when. Do we know if weapons obtained during this IB will be subject to original or new perk rolls?s99ane said:
