Edit 2: Iron Banner Bounties are great...3/4, that's 75% of them, dropped in the primary slot and were useless. Quote from my friend on this matter: The fact that there are weekly objectives in this game where it's actually possible to make no progress when succeeding is insane. Prefacing this story by saying that I'm aware that power level doesn't really mean much any more. I'm past the point where I can run Grand Master. That's not the point. I don't give a -blam!- weather you got to max power really easily in like four or five weeks. So if you're gonna reply with that, don't bother. The point is that running pinnacles with only 11% (my friends current track record of the last 9 pinnacles) or 22% (my current track record of the last 9 pinnacles) of them being actually useful is insane. Regardless of weather power level means anything, it doesn't make it feel any better to, out of the last 9 pinnacles, only make progress on ONE PIECE OF GEAR My first pinnacle this week was ok, I did the tier 2 Pinnacle from the weekly Simulation on Europa. You know, the one that can give +2 power instead of +1. It dropped at 1309 in a slot that already had a 1308 (my class item.) So it was only a +1 Power gain. But I thought, I'll take the win here. I only needed that 1 extra point to get to 1308 power overall. So now I have a 1308 power average. Now ALL of my Pinnacles will drop at 1309. I only have TWO 1309 power pieces of gear now. My Chaperone (primary slot) and my Cloak (Class Item slot). Pretty good odds. Great. Any will be a 1309 and is statistically more likely to increase my power level. So I go do my Crucible stuff. Do 3 matches and get my drop. [EDIT: Crucible Pinnacle is a Tier 1, so it's only +1, not +2] IT'S A -blam!-ING PRIMARY Out of the last 9 Pinnacles I have done, only 2 have actually been useful. Only 22%. And I'm the lucky one amongst my group of friends. My mate has had only ONE be useful out of his last nine. If we include our Powerful gear drops not bringing up our power level to level, the percentages is probably something under 10%. That it NOT respecting a players time. That's spitting on them. I'll finish by leaving a quote from my friend (same one as at the top, I thought it was a good header): The fact that there are weekly objectives in this game where it's actually possible to make no progress when succeeding is insane. --------------------------- EDIT: Potential solution I came up with based off user AngelxInxHell's idea: What if certain Pinnacles each week dropped, instead of gear, Pinnacle Tokens. Which could then be taken to a vendor to obtain a piece of gear in a specific slot. e.g. Take your Pinnacle Tokens to Shaxx, you then have a choice of Pinnacle drops. - Pinnacle Primary slot = 1 Token - Pinnacle special slot = 1 Token - Pinnacle Heavy Slot = 1 Token - Pinnacle helmet = 2 Token - Pinnacle Arms = 1 Token - Pinnacle Chest = 2 Token - Pinnacle Legs = 1 Token - Pinnacle Class Item = 1 Token A system like that would completely eliminate the issue.
