WE NEED DROP PROTECTION!!!!
Want to know why your community would rather afk farm than play the game? When turning in umbral engrams, I got 1 set of arms, 5 chest pieces in a row and then an arm... all at the same light level, ZERO growth after hours of farming the material. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED!!! How many years have we been dealing with this?
Give us drop protection. I get it, it’s RNG, but it seems to me the math involved trends toward giving you what you don’t need to progress. I sick of it. Bake into the code that after 3 -blam!-ing drops, that slot is “locked” out to prevent this morale destroying phenomenon from occurring.
Thank you.

I get what you are saying, when i first started farming umbral engrams, i got around 9 bows before i got something different, and any time i open a group of engrams in one go, i always get 1 item significantly more that anything else. Its really annoying and makes farming for loot even worse

Um since beta I would have a better chance of convincing wife of sexy time than bungo changing this strat

Finished my pinnacles on my Titan today. Got a helmet that didn’t benefit me. One Kinetic, and the rest were energies. All pinnacles complete, that’s all I walked away with. Kinetic and energy. Mind you it’s week 2 so weapons were already high and the first energy gave 1 power higher than previous.

3 RepliesDid Garden last night, with challenge, and every single pinnacle was an energy weapon of equal power level to the highest energy weapon I already had. Literally made zero progress on the power grind. Working as intended? Bungie, can’t seriously say they don’t see the issue here.

Just like when you do a nightfall for 100k and your rewards are gauntlets and a heavy, and then you do your crucible/vanguard/gunsmith/gambit pinnacles/powerful gear and get all gauntlets and heavy back to back. All the same level, a level under and rarely, maybe one or two pieces are a single light higher

1 ReplyWhen i was doing the izanagi quest i got the rare bounty where you have to get kills with a full set of forge armour and weapons. When it came to getting the armour i got about 6 leg pieces and 2-3 of the helmet, gauntlets and class item, but no chest piece. Eventually it expired and i had to get a new bounty. I did end up getting the izanagi, but then it got nerfed a couple of weeks later. After spending about 2 months on the quest. I -blam!-ing hate forges, that gun and bungie for making the whole thing so frustrating and worthless

8 powerful chest pieces today. Mind blowing that drop protection is still not in the game.
-
I feel like the RNG generator isn't completely "random". Like have you ever turned in a bunch of tokens and gotten a bunch of the same thing, with the same rolls?
-
1 ReplySame. Did all my pinnacles on my hunter. All kinetic and energy weapons. The + 1 s were -1 from what already dropped. Waste of time grinding
-
6 RepliesDid pinnacles today on my second character and got 4 cloaks 👍👌They wonder why people afk forges when grinding out level is so unthinkably unfun

I dont think it should be three drops and a lockout I think it should be you get arms from one drop then you cant get arms until something else drops. It should also look at your gear and weigh what would be the biggest upgrade and the drops should fall in that direction. The new power system with the different tiers of powerful gear is so poorly implemented since each drop a week is necessary now to progress at a reasonable rate. Back in the day you could play the activities you wanted and maybe just a little of the activities you loathed to play and still progress reasonably but now you have to do every single activity with bounties stacked on top of it so you cant even use the weapons you like while playing an activity you dont enjoy just to be able to play new content. Very bad job Bungie revert the leveling system if we are still not able to play the way we want to 100% of the time.

I was 969 in season of the dawn the entire season on all 3 characters. I hit 969 in prolly about 3 weeks then I could never get the pinnacles I needed for the rest of the season. Keep in mind this is doing every pinnicale activity on all 3 toons every week. I think my artifact was like 37 or something. I am 100% in agreement that we need getting $(&)Ed protection.

2 RepliesHours? I got 7 umbrals in an hour just doing the contact event normal, and afk farming is getting fixed. Its not like i dont get the need for drop protection. But saying "this is why people are cheating the game" ive played games with far worse rng. The amount of information out there for farming methods and tips in this game is massive. Ive also had no real trouble getting heroic on the contact event its been very fun actually. Im enjoying contact far more than seraph, in fact i almost soloed one to heroic myself. I struggled with seraph towers even after hitting light the majors were too tanky for the mechanics. This event the actual process is more linear and isnt buggy. And the new weapons are very exciting. Sympathetic arsenal on the bow is basically like having auto loading holster in every kill.

3 Repliesgot in first week of the new season 4 widow bites from the new dungeon...4 in a row!!! wtf!! being 20-30 light below the required level, working my ass off and taking 4 widow bites home that also drop from the gunsmith. bad design at its finest
-
Yep. I got five energy weapons from powerful sources last week. Then three chests, then three heavy weapons. I got some legs and arms to drop and almost fell out I was so relieved. Destiny has needed drop protection for six years.
-
I got three pinnacles drops, same energy, same weapon, same power level. so disappointing
-
Hey I have about 10 bows if you want to trade them for 1 pulse rifle...
-
Fureal tho...
-
They won’t give drop protection because it would make the grind useless meaning everyone would see through their startling lack of content.
-
I'd rather have weekly vendor refresh, but ok.
-
*sips coffee* Kneepads? I only read the title
-
Yeah I got 4 fusions in a row. I was big pissed. Really discourage me from booting up the game

1 ReplyLike smith has drop protection. Bungie wont drop him.

Edited by Zed Ingalls: 6/16/2020 9:14:02 PMYup. Last season I went the first two week of pinnacles only getting boots and energy weapons. Might have been tolerable if the energy weapons from Garden weren't absolute shit. But we're literally forced to do pinnacle drop grinds for gear we don't even want. THEN we have to farm more materials to infuse gear we actually like into something usable in endgame content. Which we've already had to do 3-4 seasons in a row now. Just make the pinnacle grind once a year instead of every season putting so much emphasis on it. But... they kind of have to because all the other content in the game can be summed up in an afternoon of playing. So they have to add this artificial grind every season or it would REALLY be empty.

2 RepliesI'm 100% with you on this, I've had crappy RNG throughout the last 4.5 years of playing destiny. Even my clan mates over the years would back me up about how bad it is. Its one of the reasons why every season i always struggle to reach pinnacle cap while all my friends hit it within a few weeks despite the fact i'm running the same activities with them. Last IB all 4 pinnacle bounties gave me a set of gauntlets at the same light level, the last few weeks of last season I was stuck at 1007 as I literally got 6 cloaks and 2 pairs of boots from all the weekly pinnacle stuff. Its like that every single week, i was at 1007 for over 3 weeks despite running all the pinnacle stuff. I had overall LL of 1007 and a hunter cloak at 1009. My first pinnacle drop was a cloak at 1009 followed by 5 other cloaks at 1009 and then 2 pairs of boots at 1009 (previously 1008). In a week i managed to get 1 item (the boots) up by 1 LL. RNG my a55.
