I know that playtime is low right now, but this is not the answer. Please reconsider this change, or at the very least improve the pinnacle grind (no repeat drops, more pinnacle sources, etc).

none of the ideas worked to keep people online... and they really think we're going to grind this again? even more reasons not to return to the game!! I didn't even finish the story because I'm not interested and the game is boring and now we have to do what we don't want!! thank you very much but I will never return to this game with such decisions.
-
Destiny has always been like this, sadly. But the difference now is that there isn't any content to make that grind worth it.
-
They just don’t get this isn’t a journey game anymore. Especially not for these brain dead episodes. Raise it in expansions because it makes sense. No one is going to get into pinnacle leveling so they can go collect radiolite for some mid vex story. They are watching too many of their own trailers.
-
Yeah this is not what the players want. Stop trying to take the easiest way to get engagement. It’s okay to wait until you have something we will enjoy doing. Nobody wants to infuse a bunch of -blam!- every couple months.
-
Pinnacles are just hard to get as it is, I’m a casual that likes to play advanced nightfalls and most activities that drop powerful engrams and I definitely struggle with a power grind….and to be 5 under the light level in higher activities is -blam!- too (go ahead tell me to go into fireteam finder to find people for harder activities) and y’all wonder why the game is dwindling
-
1 RispondiThe powerlevel system is becoming weirder and weirder, "boost your power to xxxx, join an activity and power goes 5 down, why? , join fireteam, your power equals highest powerlevel -5". It really doesn't make sense.

2 Rispostethey just need to let us over power content which would allow more creativity and diversity in play it would make the effort have meaning the caps are killing any reason to make progress allow our guardian grow and feel strong instead of getting one shot by dregs there is no innovation no freedom no growth we are locked in cages made by a toxic meta system the stand point of the toxic meta cultists is 'one of us or die' they abuse the game and its systems calling all to adhere to their doctrine but when the inevitable fix to an exploit or balance the op or something overused they cry and moan and hate when they only have them selves to blame then we push the boulder up the hill again....... a concerned and tired guardian.....

1 RispondiModificato da PlatinumWarlord: 9/20/2024 12:59:10 AMAnnual expansion power level increases are fine, but seasonal increases are just plain boring . It’s unnecessary busy work to keep players logging in. Artefact power already resets each season, why do we also need a pinnacle grind each season, especially one that relies on RNG drops. Just pick one system and stick with that, artefact or pinnacle power. It’s always 1 step forward and 2 steps back with bungie. They are tweaking/reworking the whole pathfinder system for next season because players don’t want to be forced into playing activities they don’t enjoy. And then they go and force us into those exact same activities again on the pinnacle grind. I have zero interest in the power grind anymore and won’t be sticking with the game for “frontiers”. I’m a D1 beta vet, 10 years of play time, however once my annual pass and seasonal content is done I’m jumping ship. This game has become too much of a chore just to jump in and play casually with friends.
-
I agree bungie make up your mind do we need a -5 power on any activity if your going back to adding to the power cap.
-
Even with the power increase, there is no point in it. Everything has power disabled/minus power. There is no point in getting high power gear if it isn't going to effect anything.

8 RisposteModificato da autopatch: 9/20/2024 11:18:26 AMTwo Words: SLOT PROTECTION (for drops in Pinnacle actvities that take more than ten minutes per completion per drop.) That's the number one thing that can be done to improve the QoL of the player WRT pinnacle grind. If a player only has one or two slots that are preventing advancement to the next power level, weight the drop into the slots that are lagging. There is nothing more infuriating than waiting for four weeks with a class item at 1998/1999 when the rest of your build (weapons and gear) is at 2000, and having all your pinnacles for the week drop in slots that are already maxed out or are in slots that won't contribute to progression. Incredibly demotivating. On the flip side, Iron Banner is my favorite pinnacle activity. I know that I'm getting 1) eight pinnacles each on three characters, 2) in relatvely rapid succession, 3) for a clearly definable amount of time contribution, and level of effort. I'll gladly suffer through that type of grind for that frequency of rewards. If the highest difficulty lost sectors gave out pinnacles, or if you could solo nightfalls and those gave out regular pinnacles, I'd happily do those too. Unlike Iron Banner, however, you have to be at or very close already to the target power level for those activites to be successful at them.

2 RisposteThe current pinnacle system is ridiculous… For months I have been trying to get my last 2000 drop (heavy slot) and still no luck… This system is a freaking JOKE
-
2 RisposteI never understood the pinnacle drops...grind all day to receive the same slot of weapon or armor over multiple pinnacles. why not make a focused engram vault at the tower where players could go to enter and choose which slot they wanted or needed, random weapons and random armor but at the pinnacle level that the player needs. at least it would give progression and not the feeling of wasting their time on useless repeated drops. i guess it makes too much sense!
-
1 RispondiI don’t think it’s really going to matter much unless you want to do things like GM’s, activity caps kinda make it pointless for everyone else. Me for example, before activity caps I would be bummed right now, soloing new dungeons is my favourite thing to do, which means I’d be getting ready to grind my butt off trying to get to pinnacle power as fast as possible. This time I’m like meh what’s the point of caring, the normal mode of the dungeon will probably be capped at 2000 anyway, I don’t do GM’s and I have all the exotics I want so lost sectors are also useless to me.
-
Let them cook, they trying get new low player peaks. Me: with 9k+ in game playtime, experienced player with 6 flawless raids and all solo flawless dungeons except WoR(i give up on grinding it because cant see future for the game)
-
Generally, i don't care bout it. I play for fun the pinnacle grind is some i just let fly by
-
They're just flailing at this point.
-
2 RisposteIt would probably get a better reception if there was an increase in sources for pinnacles and endgame activities are just another type of activity that gives pinnacles. If its basically just a mini version of what we got with the yearly DLC it shouldn't be too big of a deal.
-
You get what you pay for, and in this case, you paid for a useless progression system.
-
Lol .. we all just love the grind... Don't we ? Lol , I must have 550 weapons in my vault, 5% of which are at 2000 half my exotics still need levelling across 3 characters .. just got most of my armour that I use for my current builds up to level ... And now... I must grind again.. I knew this was coming and do you want to know a secret? There's two more planned for the two remaining seasons.. How do I know this... It's simple... go back to the final shape vidoc's The weapons show light level 2030 So expect more of it... It's all planned out.. ❤️Xeno ( the grind is real)
-
I'll say again what I said years ago, rotating pinnacle drop where each activity has a drop for certain slot each week
-
1 RispondiSeveral threads to the same topic. Hence please forgive my copy/paste. Just another nail to the coffin. Unfortunately. Even the yearly increase was an annoyance. But well, I took it, better than nothing. Increase once a year, bring step by step all your gear to the same pinnacle level and don't care about PL for a long time. Checkmark. Deal done. Now back to the old 3 or 4 month reset? Even if it's "only" by +10? Bad decision, wrong decision. And not what the majority of players want. It's confusing (or irritating) how detached meanwhile companies same like governments have become and forcing whatever decision on the people they finally depend on. A jug can be brought to the well until it breaks. Take care of yourselves. This is just a little annoyance in the greater scheme of things. It will resolve itself by basic market mechanisms.
-
4 RisposteI'm glad the power grind is back. Gives me a reason to play and something to aim for. As others have said, with account wide power level it will be much easier than before.

Oh noooo, not this again. Despite the worst year of Lightfall we were just fine with power. I don’t really care as long as I’m not discriminated by my “power” (which really isn’t a thing anymore anyway). If people want their more pointless grind, go ahead I guess. Won’t do ya much good in certain activities tho
