Also, what about Rank 8 requiring pinnacles from Pathfinder - Pathfinder doesn't give out pinnacles.

Thank you so much! I hope you can find a way to change it this season. I've been playing since 2014 and my partner just picked it up after final shape came out. They had started doing guardian ranks to learn and they had asked about pale heart and I'm so glad i looked into it with them and told them no wait, don't do it. You'll not have any of the story behind doing pale heart. We have to do Europa, savathuns throne, Neptune before then.
