Also:
Increase Weapon Bounties we can complete the same time,
and thank you for the Quick draw slide shot blast furnace
EDIT 4: SO MANY REPLIES AND UPVOTES BUT BUNGIE REFUSES TO RESPOND.
Edit 3: Will a community manager respond?
Edit 2: thanks for your thoughts. If bungie wants us to spend time it's not a problem for me if I spent it killing stuff in the forges. But spend my time in loading screens and traveling it is horrible and removes the incentive to grind and breaks the combat momentum
Edit: let me explain why.
I fly to the tower to get the pulse bounty, then fly to Mars to complete it, then fly to the tower to give ada the radiosomething useless thing, then with new bpunty I fly to Earth and go to Bergusia to earn a bad roll weapon. Then lets start all over again..

1 ReplyI never understood why we can't access bounties, turn in engrams, or various other things from our ship in orbit. Futuristic space magic tech and we still hand deliver letters.
-
Just got blacksmith last night and you’d better believe I ain’t ever doing anything forge related again
-
Literally at 160 forge completions and still no refurbished black armoury shader. Killed countless saboteurs and deleted tons of god rolls of all reprised black armoury weapons.
-
Agreed
-
2 RepliesMy favourite part is when you can't even earn a Ballistics Log to get a weapon frame because all the Bounties are "Craft a weapon in X Forge" Since, for some reason, you can't purchase regular frames with Modulus Reports until you've purchased one with a Ballistics Log.
-
As someone who made over 400 forges runs I can't agree more. I like Ada, but, seriously....
-
Yea it's idiotic. Basically saying return to ada so that she can show your dumb a$$ how to plug a fuse in.
-
9 RepliesAnother tedious step. Agreed!

1 ReplyAdd in “fly to EDNT, sparrow for one minute and then forced to walk for five minutes to get to berugsia forge”
-
And lose the 5 min game time against their online figures, cmon you know its all about stretching everything out as much as possible the same goes for tracking a quest with multiple parts, why does it stop tracking and you then have to re-select the next part so bloody annoying these issues should have been QOL changes so long ago

3 RepliesHere's how the flow should be. Buy multiple frames -> complete kills and strong enemies -> launch the forge from orbit There's so much wrong with the current flow. Having to complete 7 normal bounties first in order to unlock all the weapons each week. Then grind a little in order to go back to ada for no reason. Then launch up a destination(edz) and drive to the forge for matchmaking. It takes way too long in order to get one gun. Only thing that's guarenteed is the weapon. Not the masterwork or some perks. The forges are horrible. But Bungie never fixes an activity when launched. Let's never forget how horrible Niobe Labs was. Thank god that didn't become mandatory.

No more return to ada is needed, we need to also be allowed to go into the forge directly. Nothing more annoying than having to load into patrol to then go to a forge and then start the matchmaking
-
Its actually awful, plus you have to sparrow all the way to the bergusia forge (if you want curated rolls). Im convinced half the time spent per weapon forged is either flying to a destination, in the tower, or on a sparrow which is awful. Return to ada step should be removed and you should be able to instantly queue a forge from another destination. “So you just want the game to be easier?” Increase the number of tasks you have to complete or radiant seeds needed per frame if you want. At least then you are actually shooting things. Making us spend so much time travelling or loading doesnt make it any harder, it’s just annoying.

Damn, haven't seen one of these posts in a while. I'll always get behind this. Now, if we had D1 load times between worlds, i wouldn't mind at all, as the times were drastically shorter, compared to D2. But, it just takes so long to fly anywhere. Often, I will complete my beta frame and be caught up in the moment, I fly to the Bergusia forge to complete my frame, only to realize upon completion, I forgot to go to Ada-1. Now I have to go all the way back to the tower and all the way back to the forge and run it a second time. I know I should pay more attention, but sometimes I just forget.
-
can't do it. busy work is what makes this game a MMORPG. [spoiler]😂😂😂[/spoiler]
-
I agree it's dumb, but if they haven't changed it yet, I doubt they will now. For most, the main use for the forges is AFK farming at this point.
-
This is just some of the things that I think will turn new players away when they test out the game with first light or whatever they are calling the free version. They are trying to entice new players to try out their game with little incentive to stay and play long term

4 RepliesEdited by TheShadow-cali: 7/24/2019 3:38:26 PMIt's not useless to Bungie because that means you're spending more time in their game. Why do you think The Tribute Hall was set up the way it is. Bungie knows not everyone had the resources and new gamers that are playing are going to have to grind for the material between that and leveling up 3 characters among other things. A lot of people are going to blow through their resources and spend a lot of time in this game. It's like the Cores when they were first introduced as part of the infusion. Bungie deliberately made the cost high when purchasing the cores from Spider and deliberately made it where cores were hard to come by. There are many things in this game that are just made to stretch out time that is wasted time. Take the bounties for an example, there are [b](4 times the amount in D2 then there are in D1)[/b] because of the lack of in-game content, mainly to due with Bungie blowing through their resources not using their head. You also have things like the mindless quest that getting 1500 kills with a grenade launcher only to extend time. I can make a huge list of how much time is wasted time in this game so Bungie can get their quota vs quality time spent in the game.

2 RepliesIt’s all about padding playtime and don’t fool yourself about it. Just do math. If on average it takes you 7 minutes to “return to Ada, run to Ada, click the weapon frame, fly to EDZ, sparrow to Bergusia, load into Bergusia”.... so say there’s 250,000 players forging a weapon..... that’s 1.75 million minutes, 29,166 hours, 1,215 days, of “playtime” for Bungie to brag about and make investors happy It’s all business and it’s all calculated
-
1 ReplyWhen you complete it the first time you shouldn’t have to go back and forth anymore. It’s pointless and a huge waste of time. You’re completely correct on saying it ruins the momentum of combat.
-
I like to do the Bergusia forge and then realize I forgot to go to Ada-1 before going to the forge.🤤🤪
-
Scribes! Write this down!!
-
They know they should remove it. They are just being stubborn lazy -blam!- about it so they keep their artificial grind. They only care when their money is on the line. Greedy scumbags.

speaking of bounties i did loads of wanted bounties for spider and it didn't drop the lord of wolves not once and he should have powerful wanted bounties tied to lost sectors and not wait for one to randomly to show up in an patrol area where players who aren't doing them can waltz on by and quickly nova bomb it before you ready your weapon on it and the one powerful wanted bountie tied to the lost sector on mercury came out this week when it should have being last week when mercury was the flashpoint but not for an week to say that the flashpoint is on nessus .
