With new light coming, Y1 content won’t be missing from any players. With that change, now would be the perfect time to actually utilize the Infinite Forest so it can live up to its name. I think it should be used to add variance to the strike playlist. And I mean more than just randomized floating Vex platforms and enemy types. Use it as an excuse to do everything from creating unique strikes that we wouldn’t otherwise ever see, to even bringing in some D1 strikes.
Open it up from the patrol zone by letting players select a randomized simulation of an environment that represents a “treasure hunt” or something similar. It has to be the most underutilized concept in the entire series. The potential is staggering. Please open it up.

The infinite forest should be used as like a zombies mode in cod how long can you live but also a huge firewall should be chasing you and you have to kill mini bosses and run fast to outrun the wall it would combine fast combat with a high score mechanics

Mercury has always had huge but completely ignored potential sadly

Mercury has the unique potential to connect the story of d1 into d2

Agreed. They could even do something crazy like mashing 3 random strikes together. Imagine starting out with the Inverted spire and 40% through the strike you and your fireteam are pulled through space time and are dumped in the middle of the pyrimidion with the 4 confluxes you need to scan, everything continues until the boss fight and when the boss is at 50% health your team as well as the boss are all pulled again through to the final room of the tree of probabilities strike. There the two bosses fight each other as well as your team. They could also do a waved based survival mode where the further you go the harder it gets but the better rewards you get. throw in new bounties, triumphs and loot. Normal mode has no time limit and a few modifiers. Heroic is timed but kills grant you extra time and the modifiers could be similar to classic D1 nightfall's This post has given me some ideas... the could do something similar with the archaeology on Titan to.

New Light's first mission: Enter the Infinite Forest. New Light's first mission's first assignment: Exit the Infinite Forest...

Organic Machine You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but, Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold

Oooooorrrrr we can just delete mercury from the vex database all together and pretend it never happened.

this idea is criminally underrated.

It’s our spring and fall event location

I'd like to see the glorified loading screen to be removed. The uses they've come up with it for events are a little boring.

I like this idea!! You get my upvote, sir ;)

all they have to do is open up the forest and plop down some chests that reward unique loot, maybe by using the same mechanics as haunted forest too
