Dear Bungie,
I managed to reach 500 light after quite some grind. The +2’s helped.
But now I am 500 and every drop needs to be a pinnacle. Really? Not +1’s?
Did it already from 400 ti 450 and it was way way too long. Let me explain it in a simple way to you.
- On your character you have 8 slots
- A pinnacle is a 5% drop rate. But not really because you control the drops. You never ever get 2 pinnacles within a certain amount of runs. So let’s say 2 runs.
So that’s 20 x 8 =160 solo ops runs f.e. for 2 levels up assuming you get everything perfectly in the right slots.
50 levels x 160 = 9000 runs of solo ops if everything drops perfectly.
Edit: After 500 it should be 50/2=25. 25x8=200. 20 runs makes 4000. Plus all the times you get a pinnacle in the wrong slot.
We need more pinnacle events that give us a boost.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to level up past 500? You can get T5s from nearly every activity while playing at power. Any dungeons/raids/mythic etc. has forced power deltas, PvP ignores power.

500 to 200 in a few months 😂🤣. Do it all over again 😂🤣.

MC=PIE SQUARED = 2 PINACLE DROPS PER RUN love it lol

I got pretty much from 300 to 400 from just farming trials on a flawless card this weekend and im glad to be somewhat up to date to be able to get tier 5 loot and play all the available difficulties now, but no WAY am I bothering grinding levels any further. It was enough of a slog to get to 400 and the system gets even worse past that... absolutely zero chance

2 RepliesPower level 500 to 550 equals to 9000 solo ops for you? What kind of math is this? 😂 Upgrades from only pinnacles again sucks though.

[quote]Now primes are +2 it'll take a lot longer than the old 400-450. 1 drop every 20 (it's much worse but hey) - 8 slots x 50 = 400 power needed, that's 200 primes (if perfect, which won't happen) 200 primes x AVG 20 runs that's 4000 completions of perfect rng, AVG runs 6mins, 4000 x 6 A= 24'000, 24'000 mins = 400 hours, 400 hours IF perfect rng so maybe double that. Actually terrible design[/quote]

Actually it’s less than that. I think the average is a pinnacle every 12 runs. So 12 x8 = 96 for two levels Then 25 x 96 = 2,400 runs of solo ops. It’s still far, far too many runs of the most boring thing in the game. Either way man, we need to stop playing to make it abundantly clear to Bungie that they need to change this 💩, and toute suite. If we keep playing they will ignore our feedback. Bungie needs to feel the ire of the community and start improving this game back to where it was. I mean the irony of this game. It’s either great or Bungie “improve” it and it gets worse. They never can leave stuff alone that works. This video is the perfect analogy for Bungie and D2. Father Ted represents Bungie, Father Dougal represents the Bungie glazers and the poor car represents Destiny 2. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/vcNiYQgsBUU?si=ICJ5FUUwH4Um4uMJ

3 RepliesI want someone to explain to me why they are stuck on this idea of doing this after 500. What’s the point ? Just leave it the same as 200-499 . It’s just layering on another annoying way to upgrade for the sake of it . People hated 400-450, just get rid of it and get some good will back .

Is just give up the game… it’s awful now
-
Shouldn't have any of this pinnacle BS to level up, reaching max level should be done with any drops from anywhere, not this "pinnacle" but pumped up from 10 to 50

2 RepliesI can’t imagine myself putting that amount of time in, every time I play I’m frustrated after a fairly short time

1 ReplyDon't do it.. It Is pointless. Play whatever, whenever. If you get there you get there. Save your mental health
