Edit: I really don't understand the down votes, I knew the general community was generally against the well being of solo players, but this is a little ridiculous.
If you are going to design the follow on to Court of Oryx to be Archon's Forge, it is a nice design in general and I do enjoy playing it.
HOWEVER, there are things that NEED to change. Beyond the changes that the community have already cried for like stackable SIVA offerings, the little things matter the most. If I'm too lazy to LFG or pull friends into a fireteam to run Archon's Forge and I don't have a Perfected offering (read: it's either fused or enhanced) and I want to solo the public event, which is easy to do, I shouldn't have to worry about dying wasting any efforts of farming the offering and starting the event. Honestly... If I'm absolute and I try to duck around a corner only to find a silent exploding shank that was staring at the ceiling or floor is triggered and kills me, I should have enough time to respawn (5 seconds on the counter), get the splicer key into the kiosk, have the door open, and drop back into the arena with at least 15-20 seconds to spare before the event ends.... The timer is so short that the damned door doesnt even open fast enough to the point you can barely see the fallen before the encounter ends. Right now the encounter times out with no one in the arena at about 10-15 seconds.... Just boost that time out to 30 seconds and we are all good. Court of Oryx only gives you 20 seconds but you can walk right through the door (you respawn at about 11 seconds to return to the arena and can run through the door within 4-5 seconds leaving you 6-7 seconds to be slow at life and still continue the encounter). Also, if you fail in the court of oryx you keep your rune....
This issue of Bungie making it take too long to be able to spawn back in and open the door wouldnt be so bad and almost no-one would complain about it (looking at solo players that spawn into an empty Archon's Forge) if we were able to keep the SIVA charges if we fail...
Fix this Bungie!
P.s. I had a topic on this yesterday in feedback but some jackwagon down voted it into obscurity within minutes of the thread being created... his solution was "just don't die" which is fine and dandy but that's not a solution to the issue.

Also they don't want offerings to stack because the forge is an easy place to level up if you get in there with 3 or more people. You can stay for 2 hours and really load up on all sorts of loot.

Why is that unreasonable (stay alive) If you can't complete it solo you shouldn't get any rewards for dying and burning keys. Perfected offerings aren't designed to solo. If you can, great. Stop trying to make this team based game a single player game. There are plenty of games for you if you want to play FA

Down voted for the lulz.

Just down voting cause you whined about it

The door needs to act just like the Court door. Remove the damn animation

Just don't die....

Wait till a blueberry shows up, don't be greedy others need to do their bounties as well, you probably feed off of their offerings, wait for someone else to join

Don't die. The forge is fine.

i was in thier last night, started on my own with a green, another joined and we done quite a few more greens together, got some blues.. third joined and we took turns doing them, got perfected (no rewards lol, just enjoying it) then it went a little mad.. i got another perdected and seen two more on the floor.. could i F use em though, 3rd guy thought he was cool running to terminal to use up a green, even though i was already there waiting for it to light up and use purple.. he seen me, ignored me and topped it by trumping me with his poxy green.. i sat that out, in menu next thing the div was hitting me ! git me a bit mad :) went and done stupid thing and just deleted perfected, picked another up to delete and picked 3rd up and went to orbit.. only then realising all i had to do was run down tunnel then back to hopefully find ok people, feel a dick but i guess i caught it off of all the dicks that now seem to overun this game.. changes are defo needed for forge, bungo though won't ever cater for solo players at expense of fireteams, niether will people who like to always be in one, i play both, though solo since just before roi.. wish i had peers who played this game, that must be awesome.

sometimes don't get any reward when i do perfected offering

The door takes too long to open one time i came in and an activity was in progress, i used a splicer key and by the time the door opened and I got in, the event finished and I didnt get any credit despite spending a splicer key to get in. either open the door quicker or give me credit if i spend a key to open the door
