Please, please, PLEASE allow us to carry multiple offerings. Archon's forge is almost always deserted. If you wait long enough someone will usually show up (though I've waited 15 minutes without anyone joining); you both present your offerings, then after two rounds they leave because you're both empty and you have to grind for another offering before returning to the forge to sit and wait again. If we could carry multiple offerings, not only would we be able to do multiple rounds, but people would stay in the forge longer so we'd be more likely to join a group when we go in.
Making us wait for no reason is a terrible design decision. Please recognize this.

Edited by RAIST5150: 11/18/2016 12:35:09 AMThe problem comes in at the terminal....only one device. It isn't like CoO where you use a different statue specific to each rune. They would need to add a bunch of terminals, or build some sort of selection routine in there that you would have to interact with....remember each class has three variants as well. Alternatively, I guess they could let us swap them in from our vaults....but they would likely keep restrictions on that as well to prevent us hoarding a bunch of them and then burning them down. I noticed last week they actually seem to have a sort of fatigue type mechanic in play, so they obviously want some sort of limit imposed. Got in with a group that eventually grew to 6 people, and we were spamming the h3ll out of it. We were getting a lot of offerings to drop. Knocked out 3 forge bounties....and then the boss's dome quit opening for us. Everything else about the event was the same, but when it came time for the boss, he never came out to play.

There's also no real point in it once you get your artifact.

Want a populated forge? Pop your offering, guaranteed to get at least two guardians to run into your instance within 45 seconds every time.* Tested and verified. Get a long enough streak going and you can get a very populated forge, but usually it will max around six unless people start filling out their fireteams, *as long as you are playing during normal, decent traffic, hours for your region. Going in at 4am local time isn't going to do you any favors.

Is like to hold multiple offerings too. Perhaps 5 perfected, 5 enhanced, 5 fused. You can with court of oryx. Though court you hold runes.

How would the game choose which offering to use?
