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 2: another good article about the problems with Niobe Labs

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

Moral of the story: don't watch streamers Problem solved for everyone
-
Why not another dungeon?!

BUNGIE: "I know. Instead of simply putting new paid content behind a time-gated waiting period, we'll make it a stupid puzzle that streamers can use to urk out subscriptions and donations as well." ppl stupid enough to pay for the annual pass: "🖕🖕"
-
No? I think it's super cool

I agree. Bungie needs to remember who pays their bills, and it's not the top 1% or streamers, it's the thousands and thousands of casual players that have jobs, families, school, etc. It's a dangerous game to start making it difficult for the majority of your players to unlock the content that they have already paid for. Now, with all that being said, I do understand that Bungie plans on the fact that the top 1% will jump in immediately and unlock the content in a relatively short amount of time - but what if they didn't? Then.... "Lucy, you got some 'splanin' to do"... because the player base isn't going to be happy with sitting around for days waiting for the content that's been paid for to be unlocked. Well, that's all. I'm not complaining, arguing, objecting, etc. Just throwing some perspective out their. Food for thought from a random customer standpoint - a customer that has already stopped pre-ordering anything Bungie related and whom waits for others to play and review the content before spending a single dollar on this company. Just saying. ;)

Actually creating tiers of engagement from the super easy all the way up to "hive mind required" type of material helps this game appeal to a broad cross section of gamers. I think it's brilliant.

Edited by Demon_XXVII: 1/8/2019 11:57:36 PMStreamers only count when you actually watch/pay attention to them Just ignore them, the solution will eventually reveal itself Stage 1 PUZZLE WITHIN NIOBE LABS Shoot Wind with Bow. (Butterfly Symbol) Shoot Rock with Sniper (Fish Symbol) Shot Fire with LMG (Hand Symbol) Do it precisely, speedily Listen for the 'bong' https://streamable.com/t9uo4
-
The code is....up,up,up,left,left,right,right,O,Square,X,Triangle,Control+Alt+Delete. You're welcome...
-
Indeed. Watching streamers just randomly find the correct codes is -blam!-ing embarrassing. Obviously Bungie is feeding them clues. Clue: (in French) wait in the shadows to find the real truth Popular streamer: “Mmmhm, mhmm, mhmm, what if we shoot butterfly from hand while jumping in circles with a sword equipped?” (Puzzle solved) Destiny is in some trouble.
-
Hmm a bit tricky, So far all the symbols are there as if you are getting the emblem using the sniper. What is throwing me off is the rock symbol

Edited by Sur_GalaHad: 1/8/2019 11:23:02 PMYou got 3 forges you can easily do on your own. Last week was ascendant challenge this week you get shattered throne there is enough to do stop crying and wait for the streamers to have their time to shine too . Everything is not for everyone. They are doing all the hard work so you can just do the forge...... SMH If everyone has to solve the puzzle to access the forge then you have a point but that's not the case it's unlocked for everyone when the puzzle is solved. If you want to solve the puzzle go solve it nothing is stopping you.
-
I guess everyone here is that one dude who buys Zelda games realizes there puzzles in it and go cry on forums about it.
-
You do realise you can go in yourself and solve it right? You don’t have to watch streamers do it. Or are you just too lazy and dumb to do it? You sound like someone who has paid for a luna’s howl 😂
-
Don’t fuel that forbes loser.
-
so bungie gives us quest steps to unlock forges and people complain. then they make an activity that needs to be done by 1 team and people complain. guess theres no winning
-
What solving the puzzle is actually like: https://youtu.be/vQ4dnBrtrWc
-
Streamers don't have to. Go figure it out yourself.
-
Poor bungie..
-
Reeks of total desperation...

Edited by BuffBlinkNerfFusions: 1/8/2019 9:40:14 PMIn this thread: impatient, unimaginative people are triggered that for once a Destiny non raid activity requires basic thinking
-
Because Bungie relies on these cyber panhandlers for exposure. They think the common man listens to them. I hear the new liberal super soft U.S. Army is even attempting to use them as a recruiting tool.
-
Whats' worse is you have to repeat the 3 step unlock puzzle to unlock the console every time you instance there....
-
Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles.. since when the money are puzzles? comon bungie let all this puzzles shit and create more exotics, guns and exclusive stuff with all the money that you have win until now. Cheers, -Albi
-
I mean... How'd you find out about whisper of the worm? Hmmm
-
I never thought of it that way. I think you are right though, I am not watching them. I have no interest in watching others play a game. IF this is going to be done in the future, a friday night or saturday morning release world wide would give significantly more people the ability to participate.

Ehh... Shattered Throne here I come again.
