FotL is actually kinda dope
Hear me out for a second before replying. While the bugs are really bad and the lag in the altars sucks the activity itself isn't bad. The PvP rumble mode is not bad. While they are both repurposed old activities they are changed enough to be not boring. I do wish we could have also had haunted lost sectors as well but that might be spreading the 1 QA worker too thin.
As for the loot, it's not bad. Its not OMG I gotta farm for this super meta smg good but its not terrible. Also the free cosmetics you get from the event pass are incredible. The holochip is neat, the ghost shell, and ship are really cool. The shader is.. its a shader, the transmat effect is actually pretty neat. The sparrow.... oh what an odd shape... These are all free and far better than most of the old free stuff we got. OH also this is FAR better than the paid event pass thing we had where you could pay to get extra stuff but still had to grind. This current event pass is free, you can buy levels or grind them out and the XP gains are not terrible. Which I think we are overlooking. Bungie could have made it to it takes 5 altar clears for a single level on the pass but they didn't.
Here are my complaints, aside from the obvious bugs, Major events should be 3 weeks. FotL, Dawning, Solstice, Guardian Games. Making them only 2 weeks feels kinda bad when they have been 3 forever and it also helps with some fomo for people.
I wish we could turn off crossplay for the altars activity. The lag is REALLY bad when you have 2 or more console players in the group. I am willing to wait the extra load/gather time to have a playable activity.
Why isn't there a FotL reward in solo ops?
Anyways with that being said I am actually kinda optimistic about dawning being decent, probably not on the first day of the event, or maybe the first week, but the second week I am actually optimistic it will be decent, the loot will be good, and the free gear will be worth the grind.

1 ReplyWould be more fun if the shriekers and ogres weren’t so overturned with their blasts. Otherwise, I like the activity.

9 RepliesI don't get the headline. In the UK, dope is any type of illegal drug, or, a silly person. This FOTL is definitely neither.

Ight how much silver did they bribe you?

Thanks for playing FTOL. Here's your new ship: 🍆👀

1 ReplyI find all of the “free” events to be fresh and rewarding. I too wish they lasted three weeks. As much as I’d love to return to the haunted forest, this will do for a couple weeks of something different.👍

Best festival of the lost in half a decade IF the bugs didn't happen, unfortunately. Something for everyone in a sense. Festival specific activity with haunted altars. Ability to play variety of activities while still getting festival loot. Festival rewards pass actually has some solid cosmetics for once, namely the ghost shell... A real shame it was so buggy since that's all most will probably remember. I swear man. If they just had a few more staff to do proper QA, this game would be in a solid spot. It is beyond frustrating. So many good decisions made in time for this festival period but with the bugs, it just doesn't matter.

2 RepliesI wish it wasn't the mini battle pass for them, now its grind forever or dont get the shader
-
2 RepliesIf I'm being honest, nothing so far has been better than the infinite forest. That was the best seasonal activity in my opinion.
-
Just think it's weird we aren't fighting headless ones and just doing altars of sorrow
-
1 ReplyThe thing I liked the most about it is I’ve been able to get the exotic class item, that as a returning player when everyone else already had it seemed like a real PITA to get.

11 RepliesNice try Bungie.. No... Its... NOT

Edited by SuperKingzach12: 10/23/2025 7:01:55 PMNo it isn’t same broken bugs as any launch bungie can’t even keep over 30k player count on steam foe less than a day

1 ReplyFrom my experience it’s been positive. Sure it’s remade alters but it’s not as long. I haven’t played crucible but I hear it’s fun especially with a full group not to mention the fastest way to grind loot. It may not be a banger but it’s at least good. I hope this is a sign of things heading towards the right direction. I also agree these events need to be 3 weeks long.

Bungie needs a win. Boss bug workaround. Boss stays invulnerable with no way to restart shreakers. Sit under him to use up the respawns. It will reset the boss battle after last respawn death. Use void super. It is the only way to get the mask.

1 ReplyRodger that, speaking for veterans. It's aight. It actually hits the spot if you want to ask me honestly and look at the statistics I've been playing the f*** out of it and I know other people have too because it don't take long to find a game at all. It's not too long it's not too short it's not too hard and it's not too easy and it is hella rewarding, it is nice to make constant progress in my level every 10 minutes or so, the roles are great like it's hard to choose because they're all so nice. This hit the mark this is a good looter shooter activity, I've been able to finish every single one that I've joined and I've always gotten rewards it's pretty dope

4 RepliesEdited by Auronio: 10/23/2025 5:24:20 AMIt's nice and everyone can farm top level gear. It took me two days to understand the removal of instability cores, lol. Thought THAT was a bug... 😜😂👍 Red Rumble is again s sweat fest and I totally suck(ed) in it but I got my kills for the related mask. Back to Altars... Bottom line entertaining.

1 ReplyJust a shame people in MM dont know how to count. You're on three plates but two are usually left to one person while four morons stick to one. In the end you have two people with 300 kills each and the rest on 50. As for the activity, I feel like Bungie is always adding one or two phases too many. Two plates would have been enough.
-
Sure. If you can look past the bugs, the new activity having only one map and it being a fusion of old content, the Crucible mode favoring invis Hunters, two of the three exclusive guns share weapon types from Solstice, and the only new armor set being locked in Eververse.
-
16 RepliesI did like five alters runs & got showered in tier 5s, so I can't complain. Except I CAN complain because half of my runs bugged out lol
-
1 ReplyAm I missing something, we used to get 3600 bright dust for events, now we get... 350.
-
The weapons are all bad. Gets boring fast.
-
I hear ya, and want it to be good. But everything is so overtuned, our resilience is paper thin and the bugs… sheesh the bugs. Then comes the cruncher - its too overtuned to actually be enjoyable imho. Actually found playing destiny not fun which was a shocker. Then there is the fact its dropping tier 3 gear for me at 380. All my gear is tier 4 so whats the point. Gonna give it a miss
-
Due to the bugs, Bungie has announced it will be 3 weeks long now.
-
Really??? Because I wouldn't refer to an activity I have to wait ten minutes to get into, run 6 times to get 2 completions, that I get randomly booted to orbit from and that gives me a couple of 'on-level' tier 5 'okay' weapons on an A grade completion as 'dope' I'd probably use one of the following: 'Broken' 'Waste of time' 'Not worth persevering with' Yeah, that would be more accurate. I also don't appreciate that it won't even let me use a title I've already earned until I re-earn again. Apart from that, when it works it's merely okay.
-
Definitely a nice change from LS's. As for the boss softlock, throw pumpkin bombs at it. Those deplete their shield.

Edited by Auronio: 10/23/2025 6:26:59 AMAside from the positivity. I like it... Does anyone know what to do to achieve grade A in the Altars? B+ seems to be the best I can reach... Thx!
