5 strikes for a pinnacle... What the heck!....NOOOooooooo

Why? Its grindy enough already I don't want to spend an hour doing the most tedious and boring stuff to get a pinnacle. 3 PVP - good. 3 Gambit - good. 5 strikes - BAD

  • 5 strikes is better than this weeks nightfall for sure.

    I need to break this down for people... and I don't like talking down to anyone. Do you plan on doing the accumulative score Nightfall pinnacle? I'm guessing yes. That was made easier, btw. Do that 1st.... Then tell me how many regular strikes you need to do? It says in the description higher scores will progress it quicker... where do you think you do that? They're encouraging you to prioritize your drops, while simultaneously trying to nudge you into Nightfalls to learn. And as you get better, the drops come quicker... as you learn the drops come quicker. It's actually good game design. Tldr: Do the Nightfall pinnacle first... that's why my first post was exaggerated a bit. The whole premise... 5 strikes, that's false. If you want to make a legitimate complaint... how about, they took a drop away... I'd hear that, there used to be 4 Vanguard drops...bounties, 2 Nfs, 1 reg strike playist drop... they took away the NF powerful. But this complaint... 5 strikes 1. It's not true... 2. It's easier to get both drops no matter your skill level

    • You could just do 3 nightfall on the easiest difficulty and get both vanguard rewards at the same time.

        • Don't worry guys. Once you hit max you'll never do a strike again during the season. Bungie wants to steal your time which makes you not want to play. They could make it enjoyable so you want to play more, but that's a head scratcher for them. They're confused at Bungie. They are putting monetization over fun not realizing fun is monetization.

        • You were already doing that last season between nightfalls and regular strikes most likely. Now you can double dip by just doing nightfalls and be done faster:

        • 2 nightfalls, one regular strike - 2 pinnacles. It’s actually easier. My only gripe is that the Hero Nightfall playlist should just be a collection of all strikes like the standard strike playlist. Doing the same strike constantly is boring.

            Completly agreed man. 5 is to much. And there's only one new strike on top of that. So once again we're playing the same old samo we've been playing before. Adding battlegrounds doesn't fix that. 😑

            • Taking longer to complete activities is their version of "difficult". Almost on pair with Pokemon in terms of -blam!-. Destiny 1 did everything much better.

            • Honestly you just have to run 3 NFs and you'll knock both of them out at the sametime.

              • I’ve started doing nightfalls cause it considers more surges personally nightfall is just better and might be for a while

                • Why would they ever make something less grindy when people keep engaging with it. They keep upping the grind because a longer grind keeps you playing, more people playing means more purchases and looks good for their shareholders. That's why they have you paying through the nose for a dripfeed of story content, that's why half of the meaningful rewards in this game are locked behind FOMO mechanics, that's why there's so many time gated unlocks. Nothing ever changes because this community is completely toothless, they won't stop doing it if you keep paying for it and playing it. People need to talk with their wallets or shut up.

                • I’d be fine with having to do five strikes if they got rid of the stupid burn requirement. 9/10 the subclass I want to run isn’t the current burn.

                    • Do 2 hero nightfalls. They count double for the strike pinnacle and they’re not that much harder. Plus it’s pretty easy to get 100k per run this week so you can easily knock out the Nightfall reward as well.

                    • This what I see now in strikes. I join, we all load in, ppl leave, and re-Q for another map, easier, faster 1. No one stays anymore, there's more players backing out of strikes to just try to q back in to another easier strike map. Thanks bungie for effin things up

                      • If you just do the nightfall 3 times on hero or less on a higher difficulty it meets the requirement.

                      • My biggest problem rn is the activities with literally one thing in them that you have to multiple times (nightfalls and defiant battlegrounds)
