It seems to me this was poorly presented rather than poorly implemented. From what I gather from many others (and my own personal opinion as well), the community was looking for a bit of new content to play tonight. We had no reason not to believe that we would be able to be playing that final forge and chasing that exotic by now. It seems to me that everyone feels like you slapped a time gate on content that was timegated already, and that understandably makes people feel like they are unable to access content that we all paid for at the time the product was released. It seems like the equivalent of standing in line at GameStop all day only to find out at midnight the best sudoku player in line must solve 7 puzzles before our preorders are released to the public. I completely feel like that is EXACTLY why so many of us are frustrated. We just wanna play the game.
With that said, had bungie come out and stated previous to the content drop that a “severe and intricate puzzle must be solved to open the door to the forge. Only then will the final forge be available to play,” I think it would have felt better. We can deduce our streamers and other hardcore players are gonna lead the charge while we work and begin the daily reset. We could log on to twitch and cheer on our favorite Bro(man) and chill and hang out with the community.
The short version of this is
1. Let us play content in the day(hour) it’s promised. The gaming community has been used to this ever since the cold nights at GameStop for a midnight release. Deviating from that seems shady and feels disappointing.
2. If you are gonna do a thing that is new, prime the community so we know what you expect us to expect. Tell us “y’all might wanna grab a beer and watch the elite spearhead this if you don’t wanna be in the running for being first.” Don’t wait til minutes before the drop to vaguely tell us on Twitter that we don’t get to play yet.
Thx guys.
