Sooooooo does anyone else find this Niobe labs puzzle thing kinda dumb? Why does bungie think we want to watch streamers figure out a puzzle?
Edit: this twitter thread sums up how I feel.

Edit 3: from Mayhem420 in this discussion:
The last forge will be available at 2PM PST based on bungies twitter

datto hasn't gotten it yet we might as well play something else or gtb an call it a day.

Yeah it's dumb. I refuse to play this crap
-
I can see it now season of the drifter will be “shoot random lights to damage the primeval”.
-
Just unlock the damn thing!

Bungie needs to STOP. I would LOVE to say some stuff on here but I’ll get banned. It’s so frustrating when a company ignores their Fans. This has me at fumes. I was so excited to finally get the other exotics (or try to) but it’s a damn soft launch. God damn it. Bungie will not ever listen to us. High Moon Studios has probably made more of an effort than bungie in forsaken, so why can’t they take over the franchise. They can’t do worse than bungie is. Pieces of...

Why would we need new content that we have no chance at figuring out as a normal player. This week is stale waiting on smarter people to figue out. Enough with this bs Bungie!
-
Yeah this is massive alienation to regular players. We don’t matter because we don’t give Bungie free publicity (steaming).

ANTHEM ANTHEM ANTHEM ANTHEM PLS FASTER PLS FASTER PLS FASTER PLS FASTER PLS FASTER

I think at this point unless everything destiny tries is a release on the scale of the dreaming city it will fail. Streamers dont speak for the average player its okay though. Just makes it so much easier not feeling bad playing other games.
-
I think this teaches everyone a lesson [spoiler]don't ever make a career as a video game designer[/spoiler]
-
I don’t think it’s that bad, but maybe if this was more of a side content thing instead of the story from a dlc. Like a quest and not the main story of a dlc.

They must have a bonus for twitch views. Sitting at 55k views on twitch alone. All because of some component that was never explained. 😂

9hrs and counting. What a -blam!-ing train wreck,

Edited by BraddyBo: 1/9/2019 2:31:24 AMI have to log on, what is the niobe labs puzzle? Is progress locked on a time gate or something?

Games are supposed to be relaxing. Tell great stories/amazing gameplay, doesn’t matter. I’ve done puzzles, from Portal to Darksiders and even more vague titles, and they are doable with the information given in game. This? What a nightmare. I’m worldly enough with information, but this game shouldn’t be using old languages/signals and vague references to convey the answer

I'm giving Black Armory a chance, but I haven't really been enjoying it and I've been playing other games more. I thought the Forges were too high level at release, the quests to unlock the Gofannon and Izanami Forges were too long, and now the final Forge is gated behind someone finishing this activity before we go through another huge quest. I know they're trying something new with this Annual Pass, but I have to admit that I'm disappointed so far and don't think it's worth the money.
-
Complainers: stop playing. It's that easy.

Niobe Labs? [b][i]I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain[/i][/b]

Niobe Labs has been out for 9 hours now, and nobody's beaten it yet. World's First for this will have taken longer than half of the raids in Destiny history.

I get that this is a marketing ploy, but the biggest gripe comes from that this is purely for streamers. Especially, those with thousands of fans who are helping them with puzzles. It’s not a level playing field. Especially, when the community knows you have pet streamers who mysteriously have the upperhand, always.

Edited by New_zZzomBie: 1/9/2019 12:49:36 AMIt’s REALLY dumb. Why create this thing only done once , that we all sit and watch unless we have all day to play destiny. A dungeon everyone can play and repeat would of been much cooler I guess they’re thinking it would get some cool streamer publicity??? It just reinforces the rhetoric they are designing this game for streamers Okay wtvr Don’t f up last word , as all the steamers say it better Damn we’ll compete w Luna and live up to the hype of an 8 hour quest

Big Chugus approves.

Edited by Ejmart90: 1/9/2019 1:06:09 AMMy main problem with this whole thing is that it isn’t interactive for most players. With the whisper quest I knew that I could go into lfg, find a team, and I would have a good shot at completing it. With this, the only people who have a shot at doing it are the ones who play this game for a living, and the rest of us have to wait on the sidelines until they figure it out. I would have loved a dungeon activity that was challenging and had challenging mechanics, and that normal players could have a chance to accomplish if they wanted to give it a shot. But hopefully when it’s finished the new forge will make up for it, and hopefully we’ll finally get a hand on the izanamis burden and jotuun

has anyone tried buying more silver? they did mention they wanted better monetization in the form of micro-transactions
-
Don’t care found out there’s a worlds first and another dumb quest so haven’t signed it.
