Alrighty, here is my take on this whole Bastion/Corridors of Time situation. I have 1000+ hours on PS4 and 650+ hours on PC.
So, I love the game.
This was one if the coolest puzzles I've ever watched. I watched Datto get Outbreak in D1. I watched people unlock Whisper of the Worm and Outbreak Prime. I watched Niobe Labs attempts. This was the coolest puzzle I've seen in Destiny. I'm not sure if how we accomplished it was how the dev's planned, but it was so cool. A lot of community members chimed in. Streamers and reddit worked together. Even random viewers could help figure it out by sending in our own data. It was very fun. But it shouldn't have yielded a reward we KNEW about. It shouldn't have been a roadmap reward. This took more time and effort than both Whisper and Outbreak put together and those two guns werent put out by Bungie beforehand. The reward did not match the effort put in. Vex Mythoclast would've been better. A sword that swapped elements would've been better. Heck, Gjallerhorn would've been better. Bastion might be cool, but it's no ones "favorite weapon" and it shouldn't be the reward for Destinys best community puzzle.
