Edit #3: Squeezing this in at the top here, if you have your number of Archon's Forge victories (in your record book), please post it here along with the number of weapons you've gotten from the Forge. I need the data.
The only thing I seem to get from Archon's Forge is armor (this happened literally only once), engrams, and class items (just about every other time). I had a group earlier today, and one person in my fireteam got a "But Not Forgotten" Sniper.
Now, I got nothing (except presumably a class item, or an Engram). The other person in the fireteam got nothing. The other three people in the Forge got nothing.
What gives?
We did two Perfected SIVA Offerings in a row, maybe even three, but I got nothing but crappy little friendship bracelets (facetious term for Warlock Bonds is facetious) and a pair of gloves.
The poll above should help me gather data that I (and maybe Bungie, if they decide to rebalance this) need. Please, leave a reply. Feel free to tell me what dropped for you as well. I won't get too salty, I promise.
Edit #1: Someone down below (pablogordon, I followed your suggestion, I'm giving you credit now) said to put this in, basically a PSA to all of you running with a fireteam.
[quote]1st) WALK, do not run/sprint/sparrow the hallway from the dais. You will almost always be the only one in the lobby if you go in there fast.
2nd) If you do no damage to the boss, you will not get any rewards. If you die, and the boss dies before you can get any damage in, you get nothing.
3rd) on the common and rare offerings, please for the lobby let the boss out of the clamshell so everyone can get loot....I see so many people working on adds and the boss is dead before the clamshell finishes opening on the two lower tier offerings.[/quote]
Now, according to Splicer Warden, you can run and jump into the forge, just don't sparrow in there. Otherwise there won't be any other players in the forge. Personally, I have made this mistake before, and it kind of explains a lot... The rest is self-explanatory. Maybe this can help you all.
Edit #2: I'm also seeing a few posts that some people were unaware that Archon's Forge drops weapons. This is a problem that needs to be solved.
Edit #4: Another question, has anyone acquired anything other than a special weapon? Or are they just [i]that rare?[/i]
Edit #5: I was unaware of the fact that the primaries that I thought the forge dropped came from Iron Banner. Sorry for the mix-up. Original question still stands.
Edit #6: Okay, so apparently you can get rewards without doing damage to the boss, so disregard a part of edit 1.

7 fusions, 5 snipers and i reckon 100+ class items
