[quote]Thing is why do I have to wait for a streamer with lore and nordic knowledge BS to solve something for me to play what I bought.[/quote] You dont. You can do what they are doing, try and solve it. You have access to the same info they have. Google, Reddit, Discord. There is not a streamer who happens to have phds in Nordic, Greek, and French mythology trying to solve it. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of people pooling their info trying to solve it. Streamers just happen to have a face on the internet while it is being attempted.

  • Well for the Bungie marketing department this is a success. Destiny went from 22nd (?), to 7th on Twitch..... Tux, this kind of shit is gaming seppuku. Foresaken brought lots of us back, but BA has turned just as many (including myself) away. I'm ground out bruv...

    I think puzzles that bring us together are good. This one is IMO while a good concept, the answers are a bit to obscure. This quest is a burn out. With streamers showing fatigue, it is not good even for marketing.

  • I understand your point but who has the time to sit 9 hours in front of the tv triying to solve this? Definitely not the majority of players, def not the casual ones. That is my problem, this is a forge, not a raid or an exotic quest. You can’t lock content behind a puzzle that you have to solve with knowledge that has nothing to do with the game or lore.

  • And I understand your point, that is why I think bungie made the (imo wise move) of saying once it is done it is unlocked for everyone, so people like you and I do not have to spend 9 hours doing it. Granted the downside is we have to wait for someone else to do it. I think overall, the event needed work, but where I disagree is in that it was created for streamers, it was meant for some hard core lore nerds (meant with love), uber brains and the hive mind to solve it and let the rest of us in.

    I hear you man. You will see that the first one to crack this will be a streamer, cause you can be a lore enthusiast, nothing wrong with that, but having time to solve and look at possible solutions is hell, even with 30k people in their chat, google, Reddit, discord are not even close to finish. It’s painful to see some streamers actually suffer to do this, you can tell they are burnt out just triying random answers (the fact that you have to start over from round 0 everytime you die just to input a wrong code and die again makes no sense). I hope bungie actually opens it for everyone and don’t come up with a weird quest like izanami forge after all this.
