BLACK ARMORY UPDATE!

Effective immediately, we’ve made some changes to the Power requirements for the Lost Forges of the Black Armory. In [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uK8ywYCdhI]previous conversations[/url] about the Season of the Forge, we discussed our new development goals. With the Annual Pass, we set out to deliver an extension to the Destiny 2 endgame. We want to create a series of aspirational challenges to keep your hobby fresh. Over the past day, we’ve been taking in your feedback. It's become clear that we made the initial Power requirements for the Lost Forges too high, keeping those sweet new rewards out of reach. Some players at 600 Power have been unable to dive in and beat the final boss without grinding for new Power first. We have just delivered a server-side update to reduce the Power requirements for all the encounters in the Lost Forges by five. We fully acknowledge that this is a small move, but it is the one that we can make today. This is not the full extent of the changes to the player experience that we are investigating, but it should give Guardians at 600 Power a better chance at completing the activity. This response doesn’t answer all of your questions. There are still many of you asking how you can catch up and acquire the Power you need to join the quests to recover these Lost Forges. The answers to those questions are coming. We have some existing plans and some new ideas in the pipeline. That conversation will continue tomorrow in “This Week At Bungie.” Thanks for playing. Thanks for your feedback. Keep reporting on your experiences out there in the wild.

  • I’m really enjoying the DLC, the new weapons are great. Cleared the forges with little to no problems after a few runs and getting power level up a few notches. When lower power level folks try to Solo an area it gets harder. Overall it’s fun. Can’t wait to check out the new raid with even more new guns dropping. It’s not too easy yet and still a challenge. Sad that Bungie will just cave and succumb to trash players and eventually just make it too easy and lame.

  • Yeah the forge is a big miss.. Once again good idea horrible implementation. Just ran the first one with randos at 613 power.. couldn't burn down the boss fast enough. Having to go back and re-grind old content again for the 3rd time or 2nd time is getting old. I get you wanted to add end game content but you need a path to get us to that point. Guys I play with a burnt the f out chasing a power gate. You absolutely have to ease infusion and right away. This shouldn't even be a debate by now. A week into the 1 new activity we get and I am already turned off by it. That's a fail on Bungies part.

      Epic FAIL. I just wanted to play something new and fun. Instead I'm questioning if I even want to grind this stale content any longer.

      • Problem with D2 across the board is simple. Not enough content worth playing. You have created grinds like master cores, and set light level requirements/time gates to stretch the game out and create an un necessary grind, because there is such a massive shortage of fun activities and content. If you do not own all of the most recent content there is a strong feeling that you have inferior weapons and classes, to make us buy the dlcs. I think this has had the reverse effect though as a) its so obvious and b) if you wait the content is 80% cheaper in a few weeks/months max. Its crazy how the longer Destiny goes on, the more out of touch and distant the devs feel. "Ah make the light level for the new raid and forge high again- itll extend its life cycle" 2 hours later raid/strike in disguise completed "worked a treat good job guys!" There was a time most Destiny players struggled to find a reason to play other games. Now players struggle to find a reason to play Destiny full stop, albeit a week or so when new content drops. Destiny 1 needed some surgery and was hospitalised a few times but D2 is the patient that has never left the ward and is on constant life support lol

      • I feel like I'm being punished for buying this....I was hoping to get first clear of the forge but now I have to grind another week just to play it....its really discouraging me. Everyone was at 600 that's what the first wave should have been. I'm not having fun with this...

      • Why are there no new vendor weapons or armor or even ornaments? No strikes? No crucible maps? And they're not on the roadmap either? You can't expect us to grind for the same crap for another year. This game will die. You can't just cater to the 1%. You can't just make endgame content and not any new middle content or additional pillar content, or new zones. Your design philosophy and decisions in this game for the past 4 months honestly baffle me

        • Oooh boy I guess we should all be bowing down to the all powerful Bungie gods for a wopping 5 light reduction for this activity. Just goes to show you how brain dead the people working for this company really are. We know you guys have spent HUNDREDS of dollars making us rich but lets make this new activity practicality impossible to beat for 95% of the people who paid for. And then when people say something about it we drop the light level by a whole 5 f***ing light level. Get f***ing real!!!!

          • I know at higher power the Gofannon forge probably won’t be a problem and I’ve been close to killing the servitor (reckon I could it with a well of radiance on the team), but there’s too many frustrating parts together in that forge. When you add the following together, it just makes for a frustrating experience over a fun one. - Electric shanks electrifying the floor - A floating boss so some supers/grenades are useless. - A boss that teleports or hides behind cover. - A boss this turns so now crit spot isn’t visible. - Getting teleported just as you get to a good spot. - Getting teleported while using your super. - Time wasted getting to a good spot after teleporting. I think if you just removed the boss teleporting us, it would reduce the frustration of all of those aspects together enough to make it fun. I find the Volundr forge fun enough, but Gofannon is honestly just annoying at the moment.

            • Yes, the lvl 50 bump should have been rolled out a week ahead of time, instead of everyone expecting to do the new content and getting shredded as the timer runs out. After grinding again it's the same deal, people getting overun, and timed missions are the worst, it's not fun at all. Going back to some other games because it's too punishing to even try the forge. Also every looks like clowns/misfits because of the requirements to upgrade armor. Whatever fix got done people are still getting ripped to shreds in pugs (pickup groups). I can't stress out this much over something that should be fun.

                Hmm, it's been really interesting to read over everything the last couple days from people that like how this released and those that didn't. It got me thinking why is this forum in such a controversy over this and the funny thing about it? it's right in front of everyone's eyes. Thanks for posting it Cozmo. [quote]We have some existing plans and some new ideas in the pipeline.[/quote] [spoiler]If you had these plans set up before you released this DLC this post wouldn't have had to ever exist. See, I understand both sides and everyone is right. If anyone doesn't understand what I meant about that, please do not reply. The player base is not at fault, it's the lack of willingness this company has to compromise. There is this thing called (communication,) and when that communication is none existent when it comes to actually listening to the feedback prior to releasing any DLC. This forum on how it has been the last couple days is what you will get (every single time a new DLC comes out.)[/spoiler] Now that that is out of the way. Black Armory wasn't a bad idea and from what I understand there is more to come like a new map? The leveling up like some I have no problem with prior to running the event even though I completed it twice yesterday at 608. IMO the game mode isn't really an issue as far as leveling up goes, the problem was Black Armory is the (only) new thing out of this first DLC even though there is more to come. The festival doesn't compensate for the lack of new content knowing it's a free event that happens every year. Using it to fill in that void of new content is the problem and this might tell everyone what to expect with the next 2 parts of the DLC that is to come. One new little event and old content to fill in that void. Overall? Not a good way to start out any new DLC knowing what was offered prior to this DLC. Meaning, there was more than this one little event that gamers had a choice to level up and keep themselves entertained, but Bungie didn't offer that at all. Sure Bungie said there wasn't going to be a campaign etc.... but that was after the fact and that is poor business IMO. This company lead gamers to believe there was something more to this. Whether it's their fault or not it is still poor business for this company to keep leading its player base on no matter how anyone tries to justify it. You might want to tell your investment team to think about what they are doing before you guys lose more of your player base then you can afford. Activision not being happy says enough. Edit: Oh, and one more thing. Can you explain why Xur has not been updated for 3 months now or any vendor for that matter? Edit: 1, Please Stop throttling heavy ammo. What's the point of having gear that is supposed to increase your chance of getting better drops if they don't work at all in the forge.

                • Suggestion: For future rollouts, raise the level cap a week before the new content so people can start getting ready and since the new content isn't really out yet , won't have issues doing "old" stuff.

                      I had recently just got the Powerful Sniper Rifle frame to the last step for forge completion. At the time, I had a Powerful Machine Gun Frame in my Pursuits tab as well. I helped a friend finish his weekly on the EDZ forge. When we completed the forge it removed both quests from inventory. Didn't pay it much attention until I completed the Nessus Forge. No Sniper on the floor, No Sniper in postmaster, and can't buy the frame back from Ada-1. Sad about it. All that grinding to get to the Nessus forge for nothing.

                      • I never understand the folks that complain about “Hard Content” in a game designed around the power of loot. Yes, the shit is hard. Its meant to be hard. There is alot of content in Destiny 2 that is not hard and can be easily soloed. However, this content was not made for those folks. This content, like the Shattered Throne, was made for the folks that want to invest the time and energy into getting their characters powerfully geared. And then comes the “I pad for it’ complaint. Yes, you paid for the game, the season pass, and the expansion. So because of that bungie needs to just throw loot at you? Play the game. Learn the game. Get good. And stop bitching. If you find this content to hard, then you are not meant to play the game. Something along the lines of Roblox might better suite you.
