Enough already with the repeat pinnacle drops.

Been playing all week. Just needed a 1310 power weapon drop to hit max power. Almost every pinnacle drop has been kinetic, the rest are armor. This is just bad design. Pinnacle drops shouldn't be tied to a random slot based on drop. If you're trying to lengthen the grind; again, bad design. It's annoying. If you're serious about leaning into RPG/MMO elements then lean into the crafting meta game a little more. Make it a consumable item like the upgrade cores or prisms that you can use as infusion for your gear. That way players get to choose where they put the drops. Making this grind artificially longer by weeks because of RNG just pisses people off. I don't like feeling like my time was just wasted in an activity. RNG PINNACLES DOES THAT.

    • Run the last encounter of DSC. 2 power weapons in that loot pool. It's about knowing those little things to increase your chances. Am I wrong that in D1 we used to be able to infuse any armor/weapon with each other to raise its power?

      • I have been running into this for the last 3 seasons. My last 4 IB bounties, 48 total, 28 were kinetic. The rest were mainly special, and a few heavy. Only 6 pieces of armor, and to kick me in the nuts on the way out, almost all those duplicated slots I already had high light. My pinnacle drops have been worse. About 75% kinetic. Almost no armor. I’ve almost quit. In a leveling game, it’s no fun to have almost no shot at getting max light.

      • Plays a game thats fundamentally built around rng and grind...complains about rng and grind. Makes sense for this forum.

        • That is what you get with season pass loot I haven't got one single other item "legendary" that is fun or interesting. It's all "Meta" from here. That is boring! But i just got the DLC's so i have a lot to chew through

        • Need the same. After many attempts to obtain a 1310 power weapon, and constantly getting either a kinetic or bond, I gave up. I'm tired of grinding for that final piece when it will make no difference the first week of next season. The frustrating feeling has forced me to shelf the game for a bit. Could care less about guardian games.

        • At this point why in the world would you even care? The season ends in 3 weeks and there's nothing you need to be max for...there never is. Just chill and if it happens great.

        • You think mmos don’t have rng? I once went an entire tier in wow, clearing every week, and still didn’t get my bis ring.

          • It really doesn't matter now, it's only one power level and the season is all but done. In a few weeks it won't matter in the slightest.
