Please consider adding alternative ways to get Nexus lights.

Not true. Just by having my Novus equipped while playing the game got me to about 700 Light, without even trying, decided to farm it afterwards in-case there was a relic upgrade in 2.4, fortunately there wsan't.

That's weird. To get 700 light you need to do either Fates 700 or run ST 60 times. Or spam dungeons alot. But even then, 700 isn't even the half of whats needed. Maybe we just have different playstyles. But personally, I have no reason whatsoever to spam fates, ST or dungeons over and over again.

I was in duty finder que for trial roulette for a max of 5 minutes all night yesterday. Just keep doing trial roulette for an hour or 2 a night and the lights will add up.

Really? Why am I not surprised that the whining didn't stop after the atma nerf?

I think people will be happy only when they get the full nexus with a nice bow around it placed in a chest right next to the Aetheryte in one of the main cities once they ping 50.
And then they will still whine that it is too difficult or too time consuming because nobody tells them which of the three cities it will be and they have to waste money to port to each of them to take a look.
How does SE dare to actually make you work for something in this game....

Seconded. I actually farmed around 600 lights only by doing Frontlines (I think I got to rank 32 by that). After that I've also tried to do a few runs of current bonus trial whenever I feel like it. I'm currently missing under 200, and using Novus for expert and other dungeon runs (but not Coil or newest extremes). I don't feel like changes are needed.

You missed point that i have 3 Novus weapons. Im pretty ok to farm via DF/fates/dungeons etc. for first Nexus but the other 2? I feel like i wasn`t rewarded for building 3 Novus weapons, i was punished by 6 month grind.

You should do what most of us are doing. Figure out bonus on trials and just queue up for that one til bonus runs out. I think I got 50 lights or so in an hour and could probably do even better if I didnt fall into a party of 6 new ppl, wiping at garuda HM haha.

So one hour and 50 lights isnt that bad imo.

Nobody who farm light (even as casual) do it only with FATE or ST.
There are enough other content most people do daily that also give light

Now i`m pretty much gated to about 14-16 lights per day ( expert roulette, hard roulette and trial roulette) so it will take about 1 year to get my 3 Nexuses.
...

For Novus stage we had repeatable quest and hunts, so if you were willing to get hardcore on progression, you could really do it.

Why are you gated to 14-16 light per day, is it a time issue or that you just don't want to do dungeons/trials without the soldiery bonus?

Don't underestimate maps, 1-2 light at a time can build up. I save up my maps, then do some runs with my FC. An hour long map hunt gets 20-30 light easily.

Your reward for building three novus weapons is three novus weapons. If you also want three nexus weapons, it will require a massive amount of play time. If you don't think that's a good deal, I suggest you don't aim for three. The game isn't decieding that you get months of grinding, that's all you.

[Devils_Lawyer]

If you dont like to grind for nexus then get a soldiery weapon, its enough to do any content this game has these days anyway.

In the end it will get nerfed like the atma drop ratio was so if you wait long enough....
