My favorite part of the forge so far is when my ball bounces off of it.

I was able to consistently complete the Forges once I hit 610+ even with randos. Are people really that bad at this game?

Why I didn't purchase the annual pass yet: because I am nowhere near 600 light level and likely have 2 months before I could hit 600. I don't play much as I find it extremely boring only playing the same stuff over and over for some meaningless light level gain. It's slow and painful and I just flat out do not enjoy it. There isn't exactly good loot to be had. Doing the challenge stuff for powerful engrams but no end of activity rewards is downright painful. Seriously all that drops is blue crap. No legendary stuff hardly ever. I play this game for loot but you took the loot out of the game. I'm stuck with whatever gear is the highest light level. I can't afford to infuse any gear as I have to save for when I'm higher light. So I'm literally stuck with a loadouts of some garbage smg and a bow or something. That isn't how I want to play the game at all. I hate smg's but it's all I got to grind for my next light level drop. I just want this light level grind to end so I can go back to enjoying the game. But it's never going to end. And this discourages me from playing. My time is not rewarded. Thus the game is not fun. It is work. Why can't we level up doing activities like before? What was wrong with leveling up via strikes or pvp matches with drops at the end of activity? Was that so broken? The game was at least fun back then. I'd love to enjoy the game but I am literally forced into only playing whatever is dictated to me by bungie. Do this for a powerful engram. Do that for a powerful engram. But don't do it twice because there is no reason to do it again after you got the engram. Playing the game is just no longer enjoyable. I'm only playing it for powerful engrams and nothing else. Do you hate fun, bungie? Because this isn't fun. It is work. It's literally work. I have to work on whatever you tell me to if I want to get ahead. I don't have endless anounts of time to sink into the game. I don't want to play it every day, not like this. Destiny is so far from everything it was, this feels like a different game. This isn't the destiny I've been looking for...sorry I just don't like it. It isn't fun to only play for engrams and that's all there seems to be. Maybe some people might like the game as is. I don't see how. It isn't exciting. Exotic drop rates are nearly non existent. Loot doesn't drop so I can't level up that way. Almost no legendaries drop so I can't get any good rolled loot. I guess I miss the point of playing. I just have to accept that I'm only playing for light level until I'm maxed out then I can start having fun. But I don't see how the game is any different once I'm maxed out. There will still be no loot... I guess I don't get what destiny is all about. It isn't a looter shooter, not any more. There is no loot in the chest at the end of the strike. Shaxx won't give nothing but blue crap. And on the ultra rare occasion I do get a legendary, the light level is too low and I have to waste cores infusing (that I don't have.) Can you just make destiny fun again?

How hard it is to play this game..... I keep getting lower light drops from your stupid games “power engrams” wasn’t this a problem you douche bags had before I mean it’s just ridiculous! If you guys were trying to keep people faithful to destiny and away from games like anthem surely you have failed! Can’t wait to see the numbers drop once anthem hits

[quote]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.[/quote] The forge is too tough for light level 600 players, only the first wave was reduced by five will the remaining two sections are still 620 this is detouring to player who you said would be able to complete the first forge. with swarming enemy’s that are still 620, a timer, and the batteries even though they hit the ignition they either bounce off or get stuck. So still players who are 600-615 can’t still finish the forge.

Gofannon forge on nexus is not working worth a crap. It is worse than the strike that you had. I don't even take a shot and it transports me all over the place. I hope that you can fix this as I am really sick of this. I am done with this game I have spent a lot of money and now I am done. It looks like you are trying to keep us from getting the weapons.

First off ... I love destiny, its mechanics are fun it's lore is great, I have been playing bungie games since Halo CE debuted on og xbox. Love them all. Spent 61 days real time playing Destiny 1 beat all the raids and in D2 I have spent 28 days so far... I am not a spectacular player but I have fun with it. That said, black armory doesnt give me anything new to do I am not "good" enough aparently to do anything in the forge, and there isnt any content for me. I didnt know it was going to be that kind of hardcore. Sorry I dont really want destiny to be dark souls ish ... it is becoming only for the most elite players. I am pretty much in a clan that has died thanks to attrition everyone more or less left because the game pulled away from us.... maybe I am in a demographic you dont care about, a dedicated but rather casual, having a job and adult concerns I dont have the time for raids, and grinding the same old stuff gets old. I mean you have a roadmap ... and I have the annual pass ... so I will prob drop in and play once in a while... but I am really sad I wasted my money on content that will probably be inaccessible untill it's irrelevant.

Why are you guys continually ignoring the countless people on here, Reddit, Twitter, etc, that aren't able to get certain Forsaken exotics to drop after 3 months and hundreds of hours played? I've had so many friends and clan members stop playing altogether yet I keep playing hoping things will change for the better. This game used to have certain days where loot drops were so good that it made people want to come back and keep playing. I love this game but am so frustrated with the lack of loot drops and you guys won't even acknowledge your fan base wanting answers. Please MAKE DESTINY MAGIC AGAIN. 🙏🏼 #MDMA

Please make more avenues of getting cores or just vet rid of them. I said please

Any chance of a quick fix so that thrown charged batteries don’t bounce off the forge on a direct hit?

Ever since this update the only issue I been having are the error codes. Played with a group of friends in the ignition and we tried to play competitive and after we fly in for the ignition all we get is error codes like fig, grape, baboon, weasel, etc... we played competitive we we got booted before we even finish matchmaking and it counted as a lost but not once but twice so we stopped. I'm just curious has anyone else encounter soo many error codes since the update. Oh and I'm hard wired internet goes up to 400mps didn't have any issues before the black armory update.

Gambit is impossible to win if they summon their primeval first. Terrible design
