The Grind to 450+ and being Reset to 200 is a Bad Design Decision.
Say you make it to 450. Get all your tier 5 loot you wanted. Next season rolls out.. Bam! Your reset to 200. And the new grind continues. So what was wasted? Your time and energy, not to mention tons of resources. We know the current state of using unstable cores to upgrade is ridiculous. 8k for one piece is just unbalanced and unfair in terms of player investment over the outcome.
With the grind, investment, and time commitment in getting to the cap. You will barely have time to enjoy your loot before you are reset. Honestly, the whole system feels like punishment and a chore instead of a grind. When we grind to get good rewards and be capped to feel powerful. Than we should only continue to grow in power. I think instead of resetting us raise the cap by 200 each season.
As for the casual playerbase. They'll have no reason to stay because they will be physically and mentally exhausted by this grind. And none of them will reach the cap..
Portal is a good idea, but we need a plethora of content to sustain it, and not too mention increase the completion drops by atleast 3x on all activities.
The World Tab needs to be updated to include all Tier 5 gear and weapons to help with the grind and excitement to farm them again.
I'm inbetween on how I feel about this whole change. They said they wanted to bring us Quality of Life changes to Destiny. Well, I can say this feels more like Dimishing Returns of My Investment. And this is where I might get off the Destiny train for good. None of it feels rewarding because the commitment doesn't feel onpar for what I have to do. I hope this wasn't their over arching decision to keep player retention. Because they will definitely move on if this system doesn't get improved.
Personally, I'm tired of getting reset every year.. been tired of it. Honestly. And, now this system is even worse.. and punishes further the more you push to the cap. So, I ask myself, why push for the cap if it means nothing next season?
How about giving us more Darkness Subclasses we been asking for?
Vault Space?
Prismatic Fragments?
More Spirit Class Item Rolls?
You know the true Quality of Life stuff?

Edited by x Mrs snipeS x: 8/7/2025 5:05:22 AMWas talking about this with a couple friends today but the grind prob wouldn’t be so bad if we had a way to focus pinnacles via portal activities. Meaning that there is always an activity that drops each weapon and armor slot. Constantly farming solo ops and encore praying you get what you need is not it. Additionally Desert perpetual should be dropping pinnacle loot as well at the very least for your first clear per character each week. Also hate that the game now punishes you for playing with friends if they can’t commit the same amount of time to the game as you. I’ll be playing through renegades because I paid for it but beyond that if it doesn’t change I’ll be done with destiny.
