Pinnacle drops are a waste of time.
What is the point of the pinnacle grind when energy weapons keep dropping repeatedly? On my Titan I dropped 5 energy weapons out of 6 drops; the weapons all dropped at the same light level.
We need bad-luck protection on pinnacle drops asap!

At least you got weapons. I got x4 helmets this week..yay...

Edited by Kiro - 13: 4/4/2020 8:51:03 PMYou need to split the challenge reward from the inital run or you may have the problem of 2 rewards for the same slot. While its not 100% that you roll as an example 2 hand cannons from one event. However, if you have run GoS alot you know the the challenge reward typically does function this way sadly. Also Bungie added a form or duplicate protection in about a year ago I want to say. It use to be way worse trust me. Sorry about your luck, I been making sure to separate my challenge drops ever week and I am at 1009.5 light and I have only played one character this season. I know its a little late in the season, but if you are doing the one character approach to the grind it is faster but more expensive. Also the bonus of having my lock and titan at 1007 light while I have only 20mins of game play on them this season. Via useing my hunter to boost them.

1 ReplyI bet you were doing the Garden of Energy Weapons at the time! 3x character last week, doing challenge too....1 armour piece out of the whole x3 raids, the rest weapons, mainly energy 🤦♂️

The pinnacle grind is a joke. It's just to force players to play more to have a chance at the ordeal nightfalls. Bungie's idea of challenging content is pathetic.

1 ReplyEdited by Pr0t0Zer0: 4/4/2020 11:48:08 PMThats why you just ignore chasing light level drops and avoid ll advantaged game modes if you are too far behind cap. If you get em cool, if not no harm. At least thats how i view it. Light level is literally the worst part of mmos and we dont even get massive multiplayer as the trade off.

Accutally ive been getting class items every week...lol

No you don't. Pinnacle levels are just something to keep you occupied and playing the game past week 1. They don't even matter for the most part anyway. This is what RNG is like. Just like you don't ask for bad luck protection on godrolls, you shouldn't be asking for armor pinnacle drops either.

They would be more meaningful if the artifact wasn't unlimited....

Same as me last week. Even the titan mark dropped at the end of Garden last week at 1005 and what was I wearing..... A 1005 mark. Banner and every single one in the game gave me energy weopons at the same light I had. All dismantled.

Does anyone know of any successful games where level is based on RNG? LL is our level really, that other number is just a relic. I can't think of one single game that is worth playing that bases levels on RNG drops. Crazy insane thought, Bungie should ditch the LL on RNG gear system and have us earn light through activities that build and create light levels. We already basically do something similar with the artifact. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with their psychologically manipulative loot systems, I can't think of any logical reason we should be leveling up randomly.

It’s basically just a weak flex.

I never ever go for pinnacle drops however I tried this season and got repeats nonstop so I just didn’t bother.

I have also found that chasing hard cap during the season doesn’t lead to a benefit during the season and although I reach or almost reach it by the end of the season, I don’t feel like it was worth the grinding each week. That’s just in my experience since Shadow Keep launched. I keep thinking “I’m not going to bother next season”.

1 ReplyThey simply will not make this “choose your loot to be armor or a weapon”. This is Bungie’s way of inflating play time and they will not fix it.

They chose to make the drops +2, requiring only 4 pieces to push you to the next average LL. Garden has leaned toward weapons since it came out, no secret there. Bungie also doesn’t intend for the average gamer to hit the pinnacle cap until like week 8 or so. 100% drop protection would just result in you getting everything you need early, and then going “there’s no point in doing anything, I’ve done it all”
