i think everyone is a little disappointed that this one event has taken more time to complete then almost every raid that has come out besides vault and last wish. it's absurd. it doesnt make for a fun activity, it's hard to lighten up when you'd hope to be able to accomplish something that isn't even a dungeon.

Again, I agree... but it shouldn't be that hard to lighten up. It is just game after all. And it's not like this is new for Bungie. They've been tripping over their own feet for a while now. Just sit back and laugh bro. Much healthier.

I think the issue is that we waited weeks for a time gated unlock to get here, only to be stifled by this inane chore of a puzzle that mere mortals like me cannot complete/figure out. This is a shooter, not a Mensa test. I know nothing about cryptography/decoding stuff or historical stuff that were figured out just to get emblems and a message - which also needed decrypting. On top of all that, it's not fun to watch a streamer/Reddit forum for clues or even wait longer to get in on the action. And what about solo players? Zero chance to accomplish unlocking this - which I'll add I've solo unlocked all previous forges (as have many). I feel like Bungie linked to Twitch so they could bolster their streamer numbers and head-counts on views for their game. Hell, even guys like Datto has sub only chat on, so that cash grab to sub just to have the right to speak further proves my theory. I, like many, looked forward all day to get home and dive in, only to be left with nothing to do but maybe watch someone else play. 10/10 Won't buy Destiny 3. Bungie gave up us normal people, so I give up on them.
