Forge is great… when there is a crew there.
Too often I find it empty as Oryx' Court and here it is just weeks after release and that makes it maddening. I'm slow-crawling my way into the zone so the wee taxed server system can try to match me into a pack already running, but it only seems to bring me together with an other crew every sixth time - at best. What a waste of time hanging out there alone, or some other fidgeting player hoping enough critical mass can gather for some fun... and fun it is when it's populated. This mechanism is a Fail. Points for style and intent, but execution is incomplete.
As an aside, the single SIVA at a time is not helping this bottleneck.
Let us hold and select multiples, because the investment of time to get there if you don't have one, but want to play with those who do, is stretching beyond my patience anymore. I'm enjoying a great deal of this DLC, but this area needs some TLC. Immediately.
Open to suggestions from community…

I am there w/ you. Bungie needs to: 1) Fix the load problem on Archon's Forge; 2) Increase SIVA Offering drops. Perhaps even give away a couple on a daily basis per character. Note: Last night, me an another player were walking in slow motion to the Forge to reduce the effects of the load problem/glitch. When we got to the top we saw the Forge empty. Seconds later an event was mysteriously starting so we jumped in an several others just seemed to spawn like ghost. We had lots of fun. So that demonstrates folks are there but the glitch makes impossible sometimes for others to see/join them. I hope Bungie fix this quickly. Best of luck to all! Hey, I saw a post today about Etiquette rules on the Forge. I recommend to all.
