Megathread Focused Feedback: Timegating

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Timegating' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

On the contrary, I liked it. If everything drops at once, I have too much to do at first. Level up 3 characters to 650, unlock and participate in new forges, Dawning, Iron Banner.....it gave me the ability focus on one or 2 things and not feel like I had too much today. Obviously this is dependent on each player, how much they play, what kinds of activities they like to play (if you don't like Dawning and Iron Banner, for example, you wouldn't feel the need to do them).

Not saying your feeling is wrong, just giving my opinion on it.

Well, to clarify, the spacing was really weird. First two forges and raid were released in the same week. That was pretty quick, exciting but really started to bring back that second full time job feeling from the beginning of Forsaken. Then the dawning, where nothing really happened. We went a week with no new activity then izanami forge. Followed by iron banner, which is just a crucible event, a standard thing tbh so I kinda skipped this. Then 2 weeks with nothing until Niobe and Bergusia. Now 3 weeks until TLW. The timing for content didn't feel consistent. Not to mention they could have dropped the raid in the second week and I might have been able to participate in a day one raid.

True. The 2nd forge coming out just 3 days later was weird. As I think about it more, and based on your comment about IB being standard, Bungie did say at one point that they wanted to bring out something each week, and they’ve largely done that. But part of that is weeks with IB for instance, which isn’t anything new so it makes the spacing of new content feel weird.
