Visual Countdowns
In order to get into Archon’s Forge, you’ll need some SIVA Offerings. Depending on which one you have and then enter into the computer, you’ll get a more or less challenging difficulty. For example, Fused SIVA Offerings have a recommended light level of 320, whereas Perfected SIVA Offerings come in at 360. A neat way to scale the difficulty of the challenge, sure, but it’s more what happens after entering them that’s cause Guardians a few troubles.
Once entering your offering, you only have a matter of seconds to jump on into the Forge. If you leave it too late you get locked out and you’ve wasted that offering. The same issue comes when using a Splicer Key to re-enter after being kicked out of the Forge if your teammates didn’t revive or you self-respawned. A visual countdown of how long we’ve got wouldn’t necessarily mean that the amount of time to jump in would have to be cut down, but would stop players from dawdling around or changing their equipment unaware that they’d already missed their chance.
