Bungie, I appreciate that you learned from Court of Oryx. That was honestly some of the most fun I had in TTK. You made Forge better by having exclusive gear and making the drops end game worthy (at least for now). It's also a lot of fun with the axes that spawn and lots of enemies, so on and so forth.
So why is it when I go to the Forge it's always empty? Well, two things:
It's too hard to get a group together to do it.
It's too hard to keep it going because offerings don't drop enough and we can only hold one.
This is a big part of your new dlc. Stop holding it back and let it take center stage as a viable way to gear up. Let the offerings stack/drop way more of them and see if you can find a way to instance people into an instance with other people who may be running their own offerings.

yep i went in there last night and waited for about 15 minutes with fire team set to public and not one sole came in. This is not a good start a couple of days into a new DLC So how those bounties and record book are ever going to get done i have no idea.
-
What are the rewards for being successful in the forge? I haven't seen anything great as of yet?
-
I've gotten [b]A LOT of loot[/b] from the Archon's Forge so far! Not the way it was intended though ;) It was through a glitch that allows you to get [b]UNLIMITED SIVA Offers![/b] Here it is: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/213466948?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1[/url]

They also need to make loot ALWAYS drop for the person who has the offering and be a chance for the others. I put an offering in and the other person with me got not one, BUT TWO LEGENDARIES. What did I get? Nothing. That's not fair. Those offerings are hard enough to find as it is, but it's not fair for someone else to get two legendaries when it was my offering.
-
My first offering was a green one, so I used it and stood at the top waiting for enemies to spawn since it was my very first time doing so...I just wanted a good view, but then the walls closed and i couldn't get in. It wasted my offering and I haven't been able to experience the fight yet. #feelsbadman

I agree

How do you get an offering?

I was chatting with a mate about it too, we tried a purple tier one together just us 2 and got destroyed. You need at least 3 people just to deal enough damage to the boss and keep his shield down let alone side stepping the 2 shot enemies. The. blue tier is soloable but the step up to purple is way too steep an incline. Just put bloody match making in orbit for forge, problem solved you stupid engineers. Do they even play the game? Oh yeah, this will be so popular you will never need to lfg the forge, people will be lining up outside the door

It's such a slow rewarding process. In my time in the forge I've gotten decent loot to drop (such as legendaries and Siva enhanced keys) maybe it's just good RNG on my part but the reward from the loot is very poor. I've gotten multiple legendary cloaks/gauntlets and they are always below my light level. I've only gotten one pair of gauntlets that raised my light level. And that was by one light level. Granted the green and blue keys are easy to get through, it's just if I'm going to waste my time playing a video game I want to see productivity in my work. I don't want to play for 4 or so hours and only advance 1-3 light levels. I'm not asking for loot to drop light crazy or to have massive gains. I just want progressive loot for my time.

1. I have gotten [u]nothing[/u] from the forge (where is the Forge specific gear?). 2. The offerings are a pain to grind for and the drop rate for legendary offerings is nonexistant. Do they even exist? 3. Nobody is ever there for help. Why is it tucked in a corner where nobody goes? With Court of Oryx it stood out and was in the middle of the map. 4. With the drop rate of the offerings and the RNG for its type, finishing the Iron Lord bounties is annoying. You have to get them to drop, and then you have to get lucky that it is one you need.
-
Yes! But I think people need to remember that Archon's Forge is instanced, meaning that unless somebody has an offering in progress you won't be able to do it with randoms that just walk in whenever without an offering present. It's a frustrating mechanic that needs to change NOW. Because I'm not going on LFG or anything just do to a public event.

Day 2.... breathe addict....

Agreed

I have completed about 20 of these and have see very little in the name of rewards.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Agreed whole heartedly, I have one word for bungie(and I know I'm going to have those who disagree) [i][u][b]Matchmaking[/b][/u][/i] and for those of you who say no, fine then make it optional.
-
They also just made it so you can't transfer offerings via item managers now.
-
Why does it randomly lock people out and force them to use a Splicer Key?
-
I would agree with you but last night I went into archons forge with on friend to get a couple 320 offerings out of the way and after about 5 min we had 6 other guys and ended up doing almost 30 in a row. I doubt it will happen on that scale again but for me the offerings seem to be good, and people hang around the forge 90% of the time I'm patrolling.
-
Except for the drop rates, isn't it a good thing to at least have some bounties that take days or even weeks to accomplish?
