to those saying that we are core wanting, want everything given to us en-titlists please consider.
streamer mentality has pushed this game in a direction most dont want.
1) last season the highest forum up vote was for a remove cores post with over 1600, the next highest was bringing back d1 Armour with over 800. what was one of bungies big announcements....
"we hear you want to meet our development team, we will playing gambit at this time"
i dont know any normal player that wanted that, in fact from what i understand several steamers were there for that. hmmm coincidence i think not.
2)this seasons pinnacle weapons versus last seasons. last season was done right by that i mean it was doable. 40 strikes/gambit matches 500 headshots and 200 multi kills. even if you only play 2/3 times a week for an hour or two you could still over the course of the season get these. this season if you cant for whatever reason do nightfalls your doing 100 strikes, 1000 precision hits and 250 orbs. if your thinking wait why cant you do nightfalls well thats because of point 3
3)not everyone started at 650 for the season, and its arrogance to think why not? even with the catch up bounties etc not everyone will be up to standards for nightfalls if you go by lfg. must be certain LL etc. wait make your own post well i did and waited 25 minutes with no luck. not everyone falls into the "correct" time frame that some lucky people can always get
4)gambit private matches, i went back through alot of posts when i first heard about this. i couldnt find one on people asking for this. this is streamers wanting to show off boss melting and team stomping, nothing but an ego boost and content creation pure and simple
5) last word/thorn/ace of spades quests. these laundry lists are getting more and more ridiculous, just a grindy mess designed to frustrate. i can forgive ace of spades as the last bit of the quest was more of a tribute to cayde, fleshing his character out just a bit more before we said goodbye. but there is no development in any of the other quests. atleast you got a decent hand canon at the end, the allegiance quest rewards are just screaming
"lets not make it to easy we need more of a challenge"
these are some of the main points i know there are alot more but just remember not all of us can do 8 hours a day or have everything line up for us. streamers are out of touch with reality and the fact that bungie use reddit not there own forums for feed back puts them in the same boat

I have to disagree on the Pinnacle Weapon grind. I don't mind a grind at all if I get a tangible reward at the end. Last season, both Breakneck and Loaded Question ended up being so worth the effort (to me) that they're basically all I use now. This season I'm currently working towards the Service Revolver (not a Pinnacle but I don't have one and want it) and Oxygen at the same time. I cheesed the orb requirement with my middle tree Defender Titan (yup, cheesed. Don't care; come at me), but am grinding out the 40 Strikes (20 so far) I need for Service Revolver while adding to the Oxygen triumph at the same time. Over halfway through my precision kills and made serious progress on both. I should have a Service Revolver by the end of the weekend and, while doing Nightfalls for Thorn, I should be done with Oxygen very soon as well. Can't comment on the Gambit Pinnacle yet as I've barely dabbled in Gambit Prime or Gambit 2.0 yet. I'm not a Comp player, but I've also decided to try for a Luna's Howl. If I'm successful, I'll get the Luna's and the Recluse at the same time since the Fabled rank requirement is needed for both. May as well kill two sweaty birds with one stone. I CAN agree with you on light level. I haven't hit 650 yet across my three Guardians. I'm gonna have to to get through a Reckoning, but light level grind is so ungodly boring that I can't bring myself to really do it. I miss the old light level system where you just slowly progressed no matter what you did.

You can do a Nightfall at 540 its not difficult. You just put on heavyweight and the proper singe then run through. Good lord. Farming NFs is not difficult whatsoever solo or not, 650 or not. The pinnacle weapons aren't that bad either. Recluse is incredibly simple to get in terms of the fact you just play and win competitive. You'll get the Delirium just playing Gambit Prime normally. And for the Oxygen getting 1000 precision hits and making 250 orbs is a walk in the park. If you do Hallowed Lair solo you can generate those 250 orbs in 2 or 3 runs. Its not difficult at all. Gambit private matches were asked for, multiple posts with lots of upvotes that didn't specify anything about Gambit private matches in the title but it was in the body in a list. Those quests were fine. Last Word came with a ton lore and an interesting but simple mission at the end. Sure the in between part of the mission and crucible step was a bit grindy but it wasn't that bad. Thorn you can just complete going about your normal business unless you LITERALLY have no normal business left to do. Im going to be doing Blind Well so boom that step is done, Im going to be doing Nightfalls anyways so thats done. See what I mean? And the allegiance quest rewards are good (at least for Drifter). Each week you get a free powerful gear drop, synths, and infamy. Thats a pretty great quest reward. The Vanguard one could have been better though. We don't need things being a walk in the park again, its already not that bad to begin with.

Nightfalls are 540 not 650 🤦♂️

How are this season pinnacle weapon not done right? Vangaurd: Doable across all characters with shared progress and comes naturally without having to use specific weapons Play three strikes a week on each character and two night falls You automatically go for precision shots use masterwork weapons and supers to make orbs Crucible: Again shared across every characters. Just win comp matches/iron banner and reach fabled That's it Gambit: defeat prime evils and wizards, reset rank Shared across all characters, again cant strentch this enough

gonna dump on your third point real quick, sorry. But I'm super casual, barely played last season, hit 650 on all 3. This isnt the hard part...the hard part is logging in to actually do it again. all. the. same. crap. again.
