DEAR BUNGIE, 29 straight pinnacles. None of them arms.

Can we at least agree that’s a little excessive? Ppl call it bad RNG. But it can’t be RNG if it happens every…single…season. Check my account. I’ve saved all 29 of my 2020 pinnacles that have dropped and none are arms. Why? EDIT: I didn’t realize so many Bungie employees frequent the forums, willing to answer our questions. It’s refreshing. EDIT #2: I’ve been updating the amount each time I get a new one. When I first posted it was 18 pinnacles.

  • Time padding with zero effort using RNG instead of actual content

  • Bungie has complete control of how the drop algorithms work they could easily ensure duplicates are tuned out and resampling occurs until something useful drops. The only thing that I can think of is Bungie likes people to grind just to keep the player numbers up. Bungie's RNG God has been a tight stingy sod from day one.

    This has always been an enormous issue. It pisses me off. I haven't been able to get a primary OR boot 2020 engram for two weeks now. It's flipping absurd.

  • Almost 20 pinnacles and 10 powerful engrams and no class item. The RNG in this game is -blam!-.

    • I once went 8 weeks waiting for a hunter cape, it didn't matter but it irritated me, after week 8 I wiped & deleted the account.

    • I wish there was linear progression towards levels. A vendor that allows us to just upgrade our weapons and armor and get rid of infusion.

    • Same, into my 3rd week of just needing a class item. Of course there will always be those who are on the luckier side of RNG which while insist there's no problem. I hate so much the decision to put the BS pinnacle grind back into the game, it's such a stupid decision.

      • I understand your pain. I think the early claims that the system analyzes your gear and gives you what you need are a complete lie.

      • It's a joke, I'm still waiting on just a heavy drop and running all 3 classes but no sir. We all know it's rigged to extend playtime but until a bungie whistleblower comes forward I can't see it changing. 🤬

        • Been like that since D1. If you need that one piece of armor to advance, it's the one you won't get for a long time. Once you get arms they'll start dropping like crazy. The grind is the Bungle's main objective. In my experience RNG does not exist.

        • Could easily put a weekly, one off, focus option where you can focus the desirable armour/weapon Pinnacle drop, [b]once a week.[/b] That would appease both sides, RNG blessed and the RNG deprived.

          • This might not be the best answer for everyone, but use the current dungeon. We know what armor drops from each encounter. You have 3 chances each week to get the armor drop you need. You're outta luck though if you need the class item.

          • I been saying that about legs. But it’ll eventually drop. Doesn’t matter to me really, not many activities require a high light level.

          • They won’t care since we have artifact power. Chasing an artificial number like it’s the only thing to do in destiny will make you crash out, just let it come to you, and if it doesn’t well you still have artifact 🤷🏽‍♂️

One such inquiry, perhaps the most often one in the iGaming industry, is indeed straightforward — is the random number generator (RNG) truly random? In short: no, not entirely, although it might be as much as possible in the first place. Thus…by the criterion of definition, which is also used in scientific elaborations, not a single RNG is random in online gambling or anywhere, for that matter. https://lcb.org/articles/what-rng-truly-means-random-number-generator-or-really-not-genuine-outcome-after-all

              • Shhhh , get back on that wheel Hammy. - Bungie. Seriously though it can be annoying when it can take an entire season to get the last jigsaw pinnacle. Making the power count account wide has helped but bad luck protection needs implementing properly.
