Do you want pinnacles logically distributed?
How many of us have had our one slot we need a drop in, constantly looked over by the random reward system?
I know it is many.
Bungie, please respect our time and effort: put logic in place for rewards that raise light level to drop into the needed slot OR starting in the top most slots down.
EXAMPLE - you’re starting the season, anything will level you up.
Method: drops in helmet or kinetic and moves downward LOGICALLY filling the top slots FIRST, then moving down to energy OR gloves, then energy OR chest. Then it continues, chest OR heavy. Heavy or boots, boots then class if heavy is filled.
EXAMPLE 2 -
You have ONE piece of gear below hard cap, BUT out of the rotation.
Solution: you receive your first pinnacle in this lowest slot, and return to pinnacle drops being LOGICAL.
Please. Seven years of layer upon layer of rng is not why anyone plays this game. Please.

Ok, to close out this week, my warlock needed 2 drops. One in the chest, one in gloves. I did receive the chest, but all others went to slots I already had, including vault of glass which only drops gloves out of three pinnacle chests, dropped three vision of confluence scout rifles. So every single pinnacle, avoided this slot. It instead only gave them to me in slots I had already had covered. Even being able to focus/choose one slot would have taken a lot of disappointment out of the week.

Imagine something with this many upvotes and comments not being on top of the front page or responded to by bungie.

1 ReplyI know I am in the minority on the forums, but no. The last 2 1/2 I haven't got a pinnacle or powerful gauntlets to drop, until last night. Was I upset a little. But in the grand scheme with a 10 pinnacle power up it means next to nothing. More importantly it kept me grinding I get gauntlets 2weeks ago at pinnacle and I stop playing until GM and hard mode raid come out.

1 ReplyYou are talking about logic in Destiny 2. It does not exist.

12 RepliesEdited by Demon_XXVII: 6/2/2021 5:43:00 PMThey could try this option Bungie could easily set the system (not even widespread) so it offered a rotational basis of locations/core game/dungeons that reward specific pieces - say Tuesday reset, •1x Shattered Throne for a +2 pinnacle helmet •1x Pit for +2 Boots •Heroic/Prestige (3-6player, full of Champion mods, locked gear etc) [b]Y1-Y2 story mission[/b] for +2 arms (they could be really fun to run through) GoS/LW raid [b]sections[/b] - to bring more life to these areas & potentially allow non raiders opportunities to see the ‘endgame’ (for +1/+2 allotted pinnacle) •something similar for regular roaming ‘25Public Events (normal)’ for a +1 Heavy Weapon (All rotational with reward slots changing week on week) This gives the player base targets to hit in the time they have (not everyone has time to target every pinnacle reward just in case it drops the 1 thing needed) The real problem is Bungie - they want 24/7 XP grinding traffic (to please the shareholders/HQ)

1 ReplyIf I were to rework the leveling system, I'd probably make relevant activities drop vouchers for gear. Examples being "Oh, did your Strikes? Here's a ticket for a +1 Pinnacle. Finished Prophecy? Here's a +2 coupon" From there have a vendor who you trade in your vouchers for whatever piece of gear you want. I'd probably make Ikora the vendor, give us a reason to say hi. Or Osiris, Bungie seems to like him lately You'd also still get whatever drop you'd normally get, it just wouldn't be of a Powerful/Pinnacle increase. Feel free to poke any holes, I just want a leveling rework because locking progression behind RNG suuucks

1 ReplyNeed this now more then ever since you can’t buy engrams to fill in at/below-light-level gaps, nor can you save season pass legendaries for these occasions. Only 10 power levels to climb this season, but it’s way harder.

3 RepliesIt has always been pretty bad but it seems worse than ever this season. It seems like the new weapons are weighted to drop as pinnacles. That’s a problem when some of us keep getting the same things. Last week 5 drops were the new machine gun. This week seems to be new kinetic grenade launcher. It sucks and I’m getting tired of it. I stopped playing on PlayStation during Black Armory when we were waiting for Bungie’s pet streamers to solve the puzzle to unlock the last forge. I went back to XBox and started playing again just before Beyond Light because I could get the game and all dlc’s for free with Game Pass. I’ve paid for the last few season passes but this is getting old again. Maybe another break is in order.

12 RepliesThe ability to focus a single pinnacle each week would be perfect IMO.
-
Bump.

2 RepliesI have a sneaking suspicion Bungie actually [i]relies[/i] on crappy RNG to keep us from leveling too quickly, so don’t hold your breath for any QoL changes to drops in the slot you need.
-
I've been stuck at my same level for a week cause I've gotten drops in every slot except for boots and chest. Kinda frustrating
-
2 RepliesEven worse is when you need 6-7 pieces of your gear, and you keep getting the 1 piece of gear you already have, which is your highest piece. That is why I don’t believe this game truly has RNG. There’s no way.
-
1 ReplyA "simple" solution would be to guarantee that +1 pinnacles drop in a slot that can benefit from the drop. This does not mean that your lowest slot gets filed in, but it does mean that eventually you can get past the hump AND that your time spent running ritual playlists isn't a complete waste. That said, I would not be opposed to reworking the entire power leveling system to make it more satisfying to players.

1 ReplyI would rather have a choice between three random rewards that can’t be the same item
-
1 ReplyYou should be able to choose your rewards granted it’s an activity that’s actually challenging. Master empire hunts, grandmaster completions if you haven’t completed 100k already, maybe even final boss competitions in raid. These activities should allow you to choose, everything else -blam!- it

Slots of freedom!

To a certain extent yes, my ocd is driving me nuts I need 1 more piece of armor for max light and I’ve gotten 5 pinnacle ignition codes when I already have a roll I’m happy with. Like why do they rig it so hard
-
29 RepliesNo. Hitting the pinnacle cap is already easy enough now and can be accomplished in less than 3 weeks. It doesn’t need to be easier.
-
12 RepliesEveryone would be max power within a week or 2.

1 Reply[quote]Seven years of layer upon layer of rng is not why anyone plays this game.[/quote]It's a pretty big contributing factor.

4 RepliesDestiny 1 did it right in my opinion. The only way to get max power gear was the Raid. Sure, there were some "forever 29s", but I think the upsides of Raids and Trials being the only sources of Max Power gear would offset that, especially because you can technically farm gear infinitely with Raid Caches now. Further description in spoiler: [spoiler]Raid + Trials Drops, including from secret chests, final caches, and the weekly bounties: Power 1320 Trials Token Drops, Dungeon Drops, Legend + Master Content Drops, Iron Banner Drops: Power 1310 Lower level nightfall drops, competitive crucible wins, gambit wins (occasionally): Power 1260 to 1300 Playlist Strikes, Crucible, Comp losses, Gambit losses, Vanguard Tokens, Gunsmith Mats: Power 1110 to 1250 Everything Else: Power 1100[/spoiler] Of course, you could still infuse any item you get up to 1320 using Raid/Trials drops.

12 RepliesThere's already plenty of pinnacle source...if you play all 3 character you either got mad this week or the next week... Stop complaining about not being at a cap early season when there's no point

1 ReplyNah. I like it that I’m now getting 1316 gear and my hunter cape is 1311

1 ReplyNah. RNJesus and Lootcifer and the Ying and yang. Balance...
