The pickup registration for charges in any of the forges sucks. It is extremely inconsistent. You’ll be standing there holding X to pick it up and the circle will fill and not do anything, so you’ll hold it down again and only then you’ll be able to pick it up, all while getting shot at. Or the pickup option won’t be there at all, and you’ll just have to hope the game recognizes you’re trying to pick it up. Worst of all, you’ll be in a super, running around killing enemies and just happen to run over a charge and you pick it up automatically, cancelling your super. One last thing: fix the issue where when you throw the charges at the forge, it either bounces off or explodes when it hits the beams. There have been several instances (usually on round 2) where I’ll throw the charge at the forge and it bounces right off the beams or even bounces off the middle. The whole forge needs a patch. So many glitches going on.

I've not really noticed the charge pickup problem. I assume it's a lag problem, like on your end you've filled the bar but the server hasn't registered it yet so no pickup. It's worse on the tangled shore public events, you have to wait a bit after filling up the bar before you actually pick up the orb, I've had a few times where I walked away thinking I grabbed it and didn't. For the bounces I've noticed it only really happens on the four corner beams. I've tested it after noticing it happening the last time I ran a forge, oddly enough I never had a battery bounce the first few times I ran it.

This is just another example of artificial difficulty, bungie sneaks tons of stupid little things like this in their game. If you don’t believe me do some tests. I have found lots of things change in different situations; health regen slowing down in certain boss fights, regardless of your stats, grenade recharge as well. Two tail fox failing to target prime evil bosses from ten feet away (thanks bungie for so thoroughly ruining a new exotic) as well as countless other stats and items we grind for being manipulated whenever bungie needs their trash ai to seem tough. These are the worst game devs i have ever seen at the supposed triple A level.
