Nigward o it was an extremely fun game, don’t get me wrong. Sniping was fun. New killstreaks and specialist were dope af. But everyone and their mothers ran acr/mp7 with akimbo fmg9s. Shotguns were op due to the extended msg giving them extra pellets, and the striker was a fucking sniper. Not to mention the lag compensation being some of the worst in any cod. Spawns were so shit on CTF that you could easily get spawn trapped in an infinite loop. It was a fucking dumpster fire, and I enjoyed every second of it xD
Props to Rahool. It's not his faukt I keep getting the same weapons over and over again. He has to go through so much work for me to make audible sighs right in front of him.
@@billycyph Without going into detail, it was left out due to a rendering issue (and VERY poor quality control on bungie's side. Clearly NOBODY ran niobe labs through on the "live" version)
No you daft fools we paid for the content the puzzle was added by them as some dumb ass way to bring the community together with more lack luster rewards.
Sam Mindel No you fucking dumbass we paid for the Forge which was the fucking content promised if we had paid for the puzzle then it would have been included in any promotional material. This puzzle was something that BUNGIE put in cause they thought it would be cute so NO.
Didn’t they also got Harvard professors in on this too, I still do wish they didn’t release the forge early, cause the pop offs upon finally completing the forge would’ve been legendary
Mo Jones that’s true but this game leaves new players lost. I have the game since the first year. I don’t play it every week but I’ve played it a lot since I got it and I didn’t even know this event happened I don’t know half of the things in this game I always have to watch plenty of videos on youtube to know about anything
looking at it, I think bungie should have announced from the get-go that the forge would be unlocked after a set timeframe, and told puzzle-solvers that there was a time-limit. racing against a clock you know is there is far better than failing without knowing you were timed
@@janesmith1840 He is acknowledging the reference OP made, which is a line spoken by Aslan, the Lion, to the White Witch in the Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis.
In my experience, players tend to really love when their actions become a permanent part of the story. To have their actions immortalized in the game lore ever after is one of the greatest rewards a developer can offer their players. We stand on the shoulders of giants.
This is why the guy who reached 999 first should be immortalised in Destiny lore as the first to reach the fabled height. They should add a lore book referencing a Guardian with his in-game name.
Tbh, I was really hoping the “beat Dul Incaru with 999 power solo” would be something similar. Where the completion would unlock something for the whole community.
It would of been interesting because Bungie didn't advertise it as a "brand new activity" and it would been an awesome bonus. Which is why Niobe Labs failed. Players expected to play it on the day of release. Instead we watched an elite few bang their heads on the door until it opened.
Savathun just trolled us. She is the loki of destiny. We all believed the book of lies. She uses trickery to destroy us and that makes her stronger. We all were fighting in the dreaming city and this makes savathun stronger.
i get the feeling something was supposed to happen, but bungie underestimated the amount of time some ppl were willing to spend on the game and didn't implement it yet
Nmotsch idontwannagivemyrealname well, “Savuthun” did release a troll post (by Bungie) saying that the guardian getting powerful fufills her plan. So they definitely recognized it, so it did “work”. But I doubt that “true” power 999 changes anything now.
I am a new light player and didn't even know there was something like that tied to the forges. I wish I started playing this game sooner to be able to experience this whole puzzle event with the community.
To be fair, that's very plausible. Games are not just "games" there's a lot of hidden agendas most people are unaware of. And destiny has a lot of subliminal messages.
_Of course_ I wanna see this kind of thing again. This is the closest Bungie has gotten to their concept to _literally_ "become legend". Not just within the watered-down story of the deep world of the game itself, but it's massive community. It's awesome when you think about it that way.
After seeing Bagel4k reach 999 light and try to break the curse I absolutely feel like events like this need to become a part of the game. At least one thing so that way the community can really come together for an awesome reward
That whole thing to break the curse at level 999 was a lie in a book full of lies written by a liar who becomes stronger the more people fail to see her lies. People seriously didn't read Truth to power
Thanks for watching this one, I put a lot into it! All streamers are linked so please go follow them if you would like to as well as the final song, which if you didn’t know, is a sample of the Gladd clip where he goes off on the puzzle EDIT: ALL SONGS USED ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION TOO!
Crazy that I see new light players saying “dang I wish I was there for this” lol how I felt when I joined d1 in house of wolves and missed Crota and loot cave.
I don't feel like this brought the community together at all. I didn't know a single person that participated. It was a puzzle made for streamers to collaborate on while everyone waited for them to solve it.
Exactly my thoughts. These Events may be cool and nice, but they are not made for your average full time working Player. They are made for the full time Players.
2:34 is why I stopped playing Destiny 2. Me "looking for help to do the raid and get (insert exotic here)". Everyone " oh you'll easily get help on LFG". LFG "Come back when you have the exotic you want, then we will help" is the standard response
Yeah, I haven’t done a raid since leviathan for exactly that reason. I remember trying to get a fireteam together for Kings Fall was a bitch and a half.
@@Fever_Ghoul its just "You're doing the raid to get the gun that you need for the raid? Well sucks to suck since no one will let you join because you don't have the gun."
I played a bit of Destiny 2 and found it a ton of fun,but the social system is pretty fucky. Pretty much no useful built in voice or text options. I also heard rumors similar to your statement,that the game is rampant with elitist no-lifers who won't party up with people they feel are inadequate. So you're basically locked out from content that requires a group. I did play with randos while doing quests that seemed cool,so I'm not hating on all of the community though. The gun mechanics are satisfying and the maps are fun.
Either that or a different Exotic. I LFG for DSC, get told to come back when I have Divinity. I LFG for Divinity, get told to come back with Whisper of the Worm. Tell them I can't get it because I only started with Beyond Light. "Ah well."
@@Winasaurus That is such bullshit on their part. Divinity is indeed nice to have, but it is by no means necessary. Those people are simply perpetuating the long-held idea of the player who asks for X or Y weapon playing like shit.
It can be a pain in the ass but I'll always remember the outbreak prime where you literally had to look up a binary chart and tell the people in your fireteam where to stand before aksis ph1. So in other words yes they should keep and add more to the game so that you feel accomplished and have something others don't. Saying this I have yet to complete niobe labs and am not sure if I ever will cause much like outbreak prime once I completed it I never wanted to do it again and most people have that mentality.
Outbreak Prime is and probably forever will be, one of my favorite quests of all time in destiny. I literally memorized the plates you stand on to start the monitor puzzle by heart because i did it so much
The binary chart was super easy if you didnt have a bunch of brain dead assholes w you. Put the biggest dipshit on the 1st jump, 2nd biggest on second, and so forth. New guys that I took thru always went 1st....if of course we were doing the binaries.
then they should also announce something like a one of a kind weapon or something for the first team to beat it, otherwise some players would be like "well, why should i then do this puzzle/challenge/etc if it just gets unlocked without doing anything"
@@shadowmaster335 You dont even need to do that just write in the description of the forge that it was unlocked by the 3 guardians with the help of the community i think having your name(Username) taking part of the lore would make any fan want to solve the puzzle
@@myst8719 yeah okay, kinda like some games have it announced for the server as a "world first" achievement, that could work, what gamer fervent about a franchise they love wouldn't want having their in game name immortalized like that

Yes, we need more stuff like that, thats what makes a ingame world feel alive. No, don't end it prematurely, give out hints if necessary, but don't just cancel your own ass next time
I mean you have to remember this community is also the community that denied the riven cheese patch back in the first week it was discovered due to the community being to bad to actually do it despite it being the best and most fun encounter in the game and it's not that hard actually and bungie rarely gives patches in between dlc drops so that's saying something.. :t
Videos like these gives me goosebumps all the time . Moments like these where guardians from all over the world comes together for a greater cause is exactly what the story of Destiny is about
Destiny is an MMO and part of the reason Bungie broke off from Activision is even because they wanted to be able to make sure people knew that, after all Most MMOs also flounder because they completely lose sight of the "Massively Multiplayer" part of their name. Grand collaborations where people come together to all contribute are exactly what MMOs are *supposed* to be about. They don't all have to be AR games like this, but truly, really and truly, we need more things that allow anyone who wishes to contribute feel like they're indeed contributing to something greater. Things that because of their efforts help the world evolve and become more than it was. Actions that are more than the sum of their parts. I understand that the nature of that sort of thing makes it hard to make anything perpetual, it makes it hard to allow anything to be eternally accessible; as a New Light I never got to experience these kinds of things, and while I often lament missing things, it's also just part of the nature of these kinds of games, that people with seniority naturally have experienced far more of the game's history and development just by being there with it. And those who stick around, no matter how new you are, will eventually have your own moments of personal history with such games, simply by time moving ever forward as it always does. I hope Bungie learns to embrace this philosophy, the core tenets of an MMO, rather than continuing to skirt it, afraid to commit. MMOs are a dying genre, yes, and yes, partly because of society changing, but also because too many developers behind them have lost sight of what made them what they were to begin with. This silly shootygame has filled that void for me right now and, if it took the right path, I'd... be okay with keeping it that way. So... I hope it does.
I remember my step brother telling me about this, not too long after Destiny 2's launch, I want to say a couple weeks into faction rallies beginning, I stopped playing, and my step brother tried so damn hard to get me back into Destiny but I kept hearing the stories of how it was getting more and more messed up with microtransactions and poorly received DLC. Main reason was I was so pissed my special edition bonuses were single use items, but eventually after being told about the collections (which I think is such a great thing, being able to reclaim exotics and cosmentics you owned, especially now in Shadowkeep) and hearing how good Forsaken was and all the cool stuff, I came back in just before season of the Drifter started. So its fun now hearing of the puzzle hell that players had to break through just to unlcok the final forge for everyone. Its fun when its a big thing the community has to come together to solve, especially when once its done, the rest of us don't have to suffer through puzzle hell XD
I had a blast watching this. You had to have each person standing on a different symbol and moving to another location at times in between it was ridiculously convoluted and really propelled gladd to the next level of being known. He was getting so many subscribers cause he was like the only guy who didn't take a break it was over 24 hours if I'm not mistaken of him trying for the community
@@xeno4946 the game is pretty ass wish they woulda just built off of the successes in d1 instead of doing dumb shit and changing shit that didnt need to be changed the game is hardly playable now I quit playing after the osiris dlc and it's pretty blatantly obvious if you didnt play this every day damn near since it launched you genuinely have no place on the game if you want to experience all it has to offer pvp is completely unplayable cause it seems only a few weapons in the game are even viable in the mode and if you're just now getting into d2 or just now coming back you're not getting the gear that will at least get you on the level of the no lifes that never stop playing what a disappointment this game is
@@texasthib2029 I'm not sure where you get the idea that you won't be able to keep up/get the gear to compete. It's pretty easy to get some of the best weapons
Bungie 100% need to do more stuff like this! I loved the idea of starting at level 1 again it made it so much more intense but they should have added rally flags as you need ammo for the whole thing 😂😂
They also need to value the time put into doing these activities with WORTH WHILE gear instead of weak ass fucking ghost shells and fucking emblems. I mean fucking come on now how long do you think it REALLY took them to slap that shit together as apposed to the time it took to solve it? BUNGIE DOESNT FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOU OR THE TIME & EFFORTS you put into doing difficult activities. Just look at the 999 Shattered Throne ZERO FUCKING REWARDS! ZERO! Niobe labs super difficult puzzle and a FUCKING GHOST SHELL AMD EMBLEM something that took them all of maybe an hour or two to slap together.
@@PennyPeterWacker the throne was a trap to begin with we knew abot it like half a year ago (only small brain would think it was real) and for Niobes Labs it's more for the completion and your own triumph and less for the loot nothing in-game
my opinion on the question “should there be another Niobe Labs type event”. My answer is I’d love to have another puzzle like this. I feel like that when gladd pulled it off everyone was crying tears of joy and relief. possibly one of the most iconic moments in destiny 2’s history just happened. when something takes that long and it has that iconic of an outcome. it brings the community together. it makes us feel like we can accomplish the toughest bs bungee could throw at us. I’d love to see soooo many more of these. a vex, cabal, hell even a darkness puzzle. there’s so many opportunities to make something great like Niobe labs. the ball is in bungies court
I get what you're saying but literally THOUSANDS of players paid for an elite few to complete that puzzle. It wasn't even advertised as that. Players bought a season pass to play new content. Instead we were forced to watch a few top players, (sometimes brute force a solution) have fun and unlock it for us. It soured the whole season.
When you talk about it being soft released before being solved it's kind of important to remember they "forgot" to release the final clue, and once they did we had it within like minutes. Raidsecrets discord had been going nonstop for days and the second they released the final clue people had figured out the solution. Niobe Labs emblem is still my favorite to wear, I actually feel like I earned it compared to most others.
The floor caved in with the weight of our jaws suddenly dropping so hard. (Was one of the many working on *all* the puzzles, not just the unlock for the last forge)
I did this with my fireteam and going through it just made me admire how people came up with the code to unlock the Forge, it was an incredible experience...
I didn’t even know the event was going on, it completing bypassed me. However I think the most disappointing thing was how quickly they abandoned the vision. Less than 81hrs is kind of ridiculous.
It seems that they gave up easily on their visions, however, the amount of hate they were getting from people on Twitter reddit and their own forum, after 24 hours of lab not being completed forced them to open the forge. I was playing back then, and it was unreal, it's nothing compared to the hate they got now for final assault or overall during the season for recycling most of the content, they probably were on the merge of major loss of player base because they locked content for which players paid behind an extremely hard and sophisticated puzzle. Ngl, personally I love the idea of Niobe labs, and would love to see something like that in game again, but maybe a slightly easier version
I feel like they kinda had to. One of the exotics you needed that forge to get has a kinda long quest and had a step that was tied to an activity that is only playable every three weeks. They got a lot of shit for the puzzle but imagine how much more they would get if the forge was unlocked so late that people didn't have time to do the quest and had to wait another 3 weeks just to finish it.
I missed the unlocking struggle and just always wondered how people figured out any of that. Thanks for making it semi clear .. yes those codes and combinations are like what????? Nice video!
These videos are super useful for my friends as they're newbies, they love your content as you explain everything very well and the videos are really well done
I'm happy I got involved with the third emblem puzzle and was one of the folks spearheading Niobe Labs proper. Sad it took so long since puzzle 7 was essentially broken and ruined an otherwise insanely good event. I will say, there may not be a super good recorded history of the emblem unlocks but I think they're critical to the problem solving behind Niobe Labs. If you have time, might be another good video to make!
Keck yeah! I want more of those puzzles! That's what I loved so much on D1 for Outbreak Prime. I went through the whole thing with my 3 characters.. Great video man
*Hold up, I didnt realize that was the lab. I found that before this event completed and i didnt even KNOW about the event at the time since I was newer. RIP*
You missed the part where on console, with a controller and capped sensitivity, it was nearly impossible for the player to even attempt doing the puzzles due to the time limit and poor hit registration.
And they couldn't wait an extra day for that content? Ruining the hard work and effort of the rest of the community? Sounds so utterly 'casual' to me, and it's a gross blight on the gaming community.
Cool Breeze you are the type of person and gamer that is a gross blight on the gaming community. Casual is good, why? Because these are games. Some people just play to relax and wind down and just enjoy the game. Others, like you, that look down on casual players ruin games. I blame these moronic streamers. Everyone is toxic and try hard because they want to be the next big streamer.
@@ryujinjakka4518 casuals still can just wind down and chill while playing. The puzzle was rewarding competitive players to find out how to solve it and all the casuals that didn't care about trying to solve the puzzle would be rewarded anyway with the content as soon as it was solved
REALLY good video but the one issue I had was you completely forgot to mention the fact that Bungie had to release additional info about the Level 7 puzzle midway through people solving it. If you recall they forgot to add the text to the monitor or it was a bug that made it not show up or something so players only had half of the clue to solve Level 7. Once Bungie gave the community that additional clue it made it possible for us to find the final solution and help Gladd and co beat it. I was in the Raid Secrets discord that day helping with solutions and I definitely remember there being a huge jump once Bungie released that additional nugget of info. Either way great video and awesome to see someone compile all the info in one place.
I had just started playing D2 when this event started so I was clueless, playing the Red War campaign. But I agree, for the people who spent hours trying to solve the puzzle, there should've been better prizes than some exotic ghost shell. I also agree that bungie should've allowed for the deadline to be reached before opening the gates to bergusia.
My thought on it is this, stick to your initial vision. After someone solved the puzzle open the forge. However I do not think that a puzzle of this caliber should have been tied to new released content. They could have tied it to an extravagant piece of gear/gun and emblem got the same outcome without making community mad because the content they paid for wa as not open on launch day. I mean a ghost shell, and emblem not much of an incentive to other players. However tie Jotunn and idk some fabulous piece of armor to that puzzle and boom people would work it. After couple of months open it up like they did and community happy. But a whole content drop or say the end of a forge, I was little upset. I see what they were going for and understand it. But they just tied something too big behind an extremely hard puzzle. Thank you for reading.
I think it's a cool idea to have. As someone that will never have the time or ability to fully participate in a first raid clear race, it's cool to see that stuff and watch other people do that. The only thing I don't like is something's are tilted way towards whoever has the most free time, such as artifact level in level enabled events. Because most people can choose to do raids each week, myself included but I don't so I don't complain. But most people don't have the choice of playing 7 hours a day or w/e to grind out +40 light on the artifact.
What they should have done was released the puzzle a week early and gave us a "One week" deadline to solve it, either releasing it on time if we fail, or early if we succeeded... I'd see that as a win win. I also wasn't playing during this time so I missed all the drama, but I still think my opinion would have been the same.
The Drama wasn't really that big for most of the players. Most did not even really care bout the puzzle, bcs of work/school and stuff. Some tried it, gave up and waited for someone to solve it or bungie to release it. But the idea to bring sth like that a week or 2 before a big content update, so people could "work" for that new content on a fun way is dope! (And also they could focus just a bit more on solo players)
The one time where “Listening to player feedback” was the worst thing bungie did. Not for the broken hints or mechanics, but the people complaining about not being able to access the forge. Because they caved and from this point forward, nothing close to Niobe labs has been in the game
what an incredible piece of content. the lore behind it and the black armory in general.. and the feeling when you finally complete it. the fact that the hints were taken outside of the game makes it even better; sure, it might have been overkill for a forge but niobe labs is probably the best thing in the game, in my opinion at least.
I would absolutely love another event like this. I was unfortunately moving overseas at the time and was unable to participate and could barely follow along while airport hopping. Black Armory was such a good expansion, but I feel like the way things are going now, we won't see anything like this until D3.
I know I’m a month late but you never know man! Shadow keep is going to have monthly content just like forsaken so who knows? Maybe bungie is working on a huge puzzle that requires you to go to multiple planets. That would be cool asf
I really liked the idea and was completely hyped. Then I realized i couldn't do it, since I had no fireteam I played with. Well, thank goodness they opened it. I watched the streamers solve it and it was a great experience tbh. More pls.
At around 6:40 Gladd's chat was suggesting some off the wall stuff because no one could figure the puzzle out. He was very exhausted and very heated so now we have comedy gold. Source: I was watching his stream during the entire niobe labs stream. Edit: I guess I can't spell entire lol.
This reminds me of old COD zombies where teams would stay up multiple days or a week to sole the new easter egg once the map came out. It always brought the community together and it was always a fun experience. There should be more events like these
I've only got into Destiny 2 within the last couple of weeks so never experienced this, but I'm with you, I think they shouldn't have opened the forge until it was completed. I'd love to see more content like this, although frustrating, progression is the name of the game with games like this. Either way Destiny 2 is a hell of a fun game, I'm having a blast, and with Activision gone things can only get better!
These are the worst a stupidest waste of time events destiny has ever made puzzles like this literally had absolutely nothing todo with the game they could have made codes from years of in game content they had to pull from, they also ducked it up huge by one level they didn’t even have the info correct so even if you solved what they put in you’d be wrong the hit registry was trash so that would wipe you and the having to completely start over every time was stupid it should have been start over every level again instead it was there worst content they do horrible when it comes to puzzles
I managed to do niobe with some friends las month, it was unique, a recommended experience btw, the rewards should have been better though, the ghost shell is neat as well as the emblem but I think we deserved more tbh
@@Ravenspire1996 Oh don't get me wrong, they've clearly done it first. I just find it more interesting when less "popular" influencers, etc complete these tasks.
Your frustration makes no sense at all. Everyone had the same opportunity to be "world's first". Reality check not everyone can. You sound like this "I know Usain Bolt broke the world record but, i'm just frustrated that he's now dubbed the world's fastest". Grow up. No one is at the top forever. There will always be someone better that comes along. Work hard maybe one day you might just make it.
Bungie must have loved the 1999 version of Resident Evil 3 "So there's this compass you need. If you take it from the slot it's from the water you had to travel through to get to it becomes electrified. So instead you have to go to the statue of the Mayor and retrieve a bronze book. With that bronze book, you go back to the water fixture and take the compass, and then place the bronze book inside to make the water safe to pass through. After that you take the compass back to the statue and set it in the right hand, which'll cause the statue to rotate and give you... a $50 car battery."
Personally as a regular player who has a full time job, is married, and has other interests I don't like the idea of locking content behind overly complex puzzles, my time is limited to a degree and having to rely on full time streamers/players just feels wrong to me, that said a lack of challenge also feels wrong, ultimately I would say leave them in but not make them as obscure and as obtuse as Niobe labs was, I watched Gladd's stream when he went off on one about all the hoops they were looking at jumping through and you just knew there and then what Bungie was aiming for had failed.
Just because you have limited time doesnt mean everyone else does. You shouldnt restrict the way everyon else enjoys it because of your life situations
@@1RuneKing You realize he stated the same thing you said,but in reverse,right? I would have to agree with the OP here. Even though there's no-lifers that play games and can sit in their room full of redbull and Adderall for days on end,it doesn't mean the masses can. I love a grind in games and hate having things handed to everyone,but locking content behind insanely complex puzzles is just bad on the grand scale. Kudos to the people who don't socialize much and have their bills paid for them.
“You bought the content.” The content was the opportunity to solve the puzzle, not reap an unearned reward. Demanding that the devs open the forge when the puzzle was still unsolved is equivalent to demanding money because you bought a lottery ticket
We weren't sold a puzzle that only a select few could participate. Bungie advertised 4 forges and the exotic quests that came with it. Instead we got a glitchy puzzle, which a select few streamers could play it and a community on hold until it was completed. The game literally came to a halt until Niobe Labs was opened. Its like we were forced to pay to watch someone else play for us. If it was a bonus forge or if it was free, I don't think the community would of complained. If it puzzle was easier (or worked like intended) and took a few hours to solve then I think the fan base would of forgiven it but it was 3 days of waiting. It was just a bad idea.
I love Destiny 2, but joined in season 6 with nothing but the base game, so I don't know much about destiny's dark release days, or wins with forsaken. ( now I have annual pass) . Your content is amazing and I really like it, and like knowing the history of my favorite game.
STAYlN ALlVE I also agree with you guys... Getting a ghost shell doesn’t compel me to do this extended quest... the only time I was debating to do something like this was back when harbinger’s echo sparrow was available but it was bugged... so I gave up...
Jeromy Sanchez Exactly this...I mean literally nobody could solve it for the longest time & the rewards for doing such things in this game are always the shittiest things. Woopty fucking do a ghost and an emblem. Even the 999 shattered throne got ZERO rewards. It’s like Bungie was running out of ideas and needed a publicity stunt to increase game popularity. Also I could give two fucks about worlds first raids. Like don’t me wrong it’s great that it happens and congratulations to those who did but I don’t really care to have it slapped in my face when I log in. They did fucking congratulations you want a fucking cookie?
I remember getting mine literally took me one entire day just finding people over and over again watching datto's guide so many times. When we finally cracked the code and the pyramid opened it was so satisfying. I was one of the readers sitting there with a binary to hex conversion chart or whatever for so long. Outbreak was hard but after hearing that one part about the gems and a code about a random forest in french was pretty dumb.
The puzzle was so hard that even Activision gave up.
They gave up when they released the shit shows known as mw3 and ghosts
@@mattrex94 no fucking way did you just say mw3 was a shit show

You missed the part where they litterally had to change a hint to be easier because the original version made literally no sense
What was the original version?
Imagine if they didn’t give a new hint and kept the content locked. Two meta changing exotics probably would have been locked away for a year.
I mean they actually did that cause the hint was missing the stuff they added.

Yes we did. If you want to see the gaming world move past unregulated lootboxes, then UA-cam Andrew Yang. Fight forever Guardian!
Sam Mindel No you fucking dumbass we paid for the Forge which was the fucking content promised if we had paid for the puzzle then it would have been included in any promotional material. This puzzle was something that BUNGIE put in cause they thought it would be cute so NO.
Didn’t they also got Harvard professors in on this too, I still do wish they didn’t release the forge early, cause the pop offs upon finally completing the forge would’ve been legendary
“The person who is watching this.”
Me: I just got the game, i don’t know literally anything, why am I here?
OMG same boat here
Lmao same bro, this game gets crap for nothing, its pretty great.
Mo Jones that’s true but this game leaves new players lost. I have the game since the first year. I don’t play it every week but I’ve played it a lot since I got it and I didn’t even know this event happened I don’t know half of the things in this game I always have to watch plenty of videos on youtube to know about anything
looking at it, I think bungie should have announced from the get-go that the forge would be unlocked after a set timeframe, and told puzzle-solvers that there was a time-limit.

remi ster I think he’s trying to say that the rewards suck ass
In my experience, players tend to really love when their actions become a permanent part of the story.
To have their actions immortalized in the game lore ever after is one of the greatest rewards a developer can offer their players.
We stand on the shoulders of giants.
This is why the guy who reached 999 first should be immortalised in Destiny lore as the first to reach the fabled height. They should add a lore book referencing a Guardian with his in-game name.
Cool Breeze If they add a Guardian named “Bagel” into the lore, I’m done.
@@theholytoilet6668 done in a good way, right?
KiddJerichoXO No, human. Done in a very neutral way.
Tbh, I was really hoping the “beat Dul Incaru with 999 power solo” would be something similar.
Where the completion would unlock something for the whole community.
It would of been interesting because Bungie didn't advertise it as a "brand new activity" and it would been an awesome bonus.
Which is why Niobe Labs failed. Players expected to play it on the day of release. Instead we watched an elite few bang their heads on the door until it opened.
Savathun just trolled us. She is the loki of destiny. We all believed the book of lies. She uses trickery to destroy us and that makes her stronger. We all were fighting in the dreaming city and this makes savathun stronger.
i get the feeling something was supposed to happen, but bungie underestimated the amount of time some ppl were willing to spend on the game and didn't implement it yet
It wasn't beaten at a true 999. Maybe seasonal artifact levels don't count.
Nmotsch idontwannagivemyrealname well, “Savuthun” did release a troll post (by Bungie) saying that the guardian getting powerful fufills her plan.
So they definitely recognized it, so it did “work”. But I doubt that “true” power 999 changes anything now.

so basicly bungie is a military project that released a "game" in order to find best cryptographs?
Look at DICE and battlefield 4
They fooled all of us
Holy fucking shit.
To be fair, that's very plausible. Games are not just "games" there's a lot of hidden agendas most people are unaware of. And destiny has a lot of subliminal messages.
@@xBlackOutx21 What kind of "subliminal messages", I ask?

_Of course_ I wanna see this kind of thing again. This is the closest Bungie has gotten to their concept to _literally_ "become legend". Not just within the watered-down story of the deep world of the game itself, but it's massive community.
It's awesome when you think about it that way.
And here I thought when Outbreak Prime came out in D1 was convoluted
After seeing Bagel4k reach 999 light and try to break the curse I absolutely feel like events like this need to become a part of the game. At least one thing so that way the community can really come together for an awesome reward
Lol, "apart" and "a part" mean the opposite thing.
Knights of the Nine autocorrect lol
Except the only people getting rewarded are the streamers
That whole thing to break the curse at level 999 was a lie in a book full of lies written by a liar who becomes stronger the more people fail to see her lies. People seriously didn't read Truth to power
@@mikufollower8564 It was written by Eris, then by a Golden Age AI, then by Eris again, then by Quria, then by Savathun. Deeeeeeefinitely not a trap.

I don't feel like this brought the community together at all. I didn't know a single person that participated. It was a puzzle made for streamers to collaborate on while everyone waited for them to solve it.

"Best and brightest" bruh..
Exactly my thoughts. These Events may be cool and nice, but they are not made for your average full time working Player. They are made for the full time Players.

Lol like the felwinter quest, I was just waiting for people to finish with the towers.
2:34 is why I stopped playing Destiny 2. Me "looking for help to do the raid and get (insert exotic here)". Everyone " oh you'll easily get help on LFG". LFG "Come back when you have the exotic you want, then we will help" is the standard response
Yeah, I haven’t done a raid since leviathan for exactly that reason. I remember trying to get a fireteam together for Kings Fall was a bitch and a half.
@@Fever_Ghoul its just
"You're doing the raid to get the gun that you need for the raid? Well sucks to suck since no one will let you join because you don't have the gun."
I played a bit of Destiny 2 and found it a ton of fun,but the social system is pretty fucky. Pretty much no useful built in voice or text options. I also heard rumors similar to your statement,that the game is rampant with elitist no-lifers who won't party up with people they feel are inadequate. So you're basically locked out from content that requires a group. I did play with randos while doing quests that seemed cool,so I'm not hating on all of the community though. The gun mechanics are satisfying and the maps are fun.
Either that or a different Exotic. I LFG for DSC, get told to come back when I have Divinity. I LFG for Divinity, get told to come back with Whisper of the Worm. Tell them I can't get it because I only started with Beyond Light. "Ah well."
@@Winasaurus That is such bullshit on their part. Divinity is indeed nice to have, but it is by no means necessary. Those people are simply perpetuating the long-held idea of the player who asks for X or Y weapon playing like shit.
It can be a pain in the ass but I'll always remember the outbreak prime where you literally had to look up a binary chart and tell the people in your fireteam where to stand before aksis ph1. So in other words yes they should keep and add more to the game so that you feel accomplished and have something others don't. Saying this I have yet to complete niobe labs and am not sure if I ever will cause much like outbreak prime once I completed it I never wanted to do it again and most people have that mentality.
Such a fun time, I love those things that teach you new things in raids
Outbreak Prime is and probably forever will be, one of my favorite quests of all time in destiny. I literally memorized the plates you stand on to start the monitor puzzle by heart because i did it so much
Mattooee I remember outbreak prime quest omg the memories.. I’m feeling very nostalgic rn
The binary chart was super easy if you didnt have a bunch of brain dead assholes w you. Put the biggest dipshit on the 1st jump, 2nd biggest on second, and so forth. New guys that I took thru always went 1st....if of course we were doing the binaries.

Videos like these gives me goosebumps all the time . Moments like these where guardians from all over the world comes together for a greater cause is exactly what the story of Destiny is about
this comment made my day, thank you!
Destiny is an MMO and part of the reason Bungie broke off from Activision is even because they wanted to be able to make sure people knew that, after all
Most MMOs also flounder because they completely lose sight of the "Massively Multiplayer" part of their name. Grand collaborations where people come together to all contribute are exactly what MMOs are *supposed* to be about. They don't all have to be AR games like this, but truly, really and truly, we need more things that allow anyone who wishes to contribute feel like they're indeed contributing to something greater. Things that because of their efforts help the world evolve and become more than it was. Actions that are more than the sum of their parts.
I understand that the nature of that sort of thing makes it hard to make anything perpetual, it makes it hard to allow anything to be eternally accessible; as a New Light I never got to experience these kinds of things, and while I often lament missing things, it's also just part of the nature of these kinds of games, that people with seniority naturally have experienced far more of the game's history and development just by being there with it. And those who stick around, no matter how new you are, will eventually have your own moments of personal history with such games, simply by time moving ever forward as it always does.
I hope Bungie learns to embrace this philosophy, the core tenets of an MMO, rather than continuing to skirt it, afraid to commit. MMOs are a dying genre, yes, and yes, partly because of society changing, but also because too many developers behind them have lost sight of what made them what they were to begin with. This silly shootygame has filled that void for me right now and, if it took the right path, I'd... be okay with keeping it that way. So... I hope it does.
I remember my step brother telling me about this, not too long after Destiny 2's launch, I want to say a couple weeks into faction rallies beginning, I stopped playing, and my step brother tried so damn hard to get me back into Destiny but I kept hearing the stories of how it was getting more and more messed up with microtransactions and poorly received DLC. Main reason was I was so pissed my special edition bonuses were single use items, but eventually after being told about the collections (which I think is such a great thing, being able to reclaim exotics and cosmentics you owned, especially now in Shadowkeep) and hearing how good Forsaken was and all the cool stuff, I came back in just before season of the Drifter started. So its fun now hearing of the puzzle hell that players had to break through just to unlcok the final forge for everyone. Its fun when its a big thing the community has to come together to solve, especially when once its done, the rest of us don't have to suffer through puzzle hell XD

They should have another big puzzle to further join the community together. I honestly thought it was really cool what they did.
Activity comes out a week after the season: I can wait.
Activity is locked behind a 3 day long puzzle: YoU'rE lOcKiNg CoNtEnT!!!
my opinion on the question “should there be another Niobe Labs type event”. My answer is I’d love to have another puzzle like this. I feel like that when gladd pulled it off everyone was crying tears of joy and relief. possibly one of the most iconic moments in destiny 2’s history just happened. when something takes that long and it has that iconic of an outcome. it brings the community together. it makes us feel like we can accomplish the toughest bs bungee could throw at us. I’d love to see soooo many more of these. a vex, cabal, hell even a darkness puzzle. there’s so many opportunities to make something great like Niobe labs. the ball is in bungies court
I get what you're saying but literally THOUSANDS of players paid for an elite few to complete that puzzle.
It wasn't even advertised as that. Players bought a season pass to play new content.
Instead we were forced to watch a few top players, (sometimes brute force a solution) have fun and unlock it for us.
It soured the whole season.
I know that but that feeling of just “finally it’s over” is awesome
When you talk about it being soft released before being solved it's kind of important to remember they "forgot" to release the final clue, and once they did we had it within like minutes. Raidsecrets discord had been going nonstop for days and the second they released the final clue people had figured out the solution.
Niobe Labs emblem is still my favorite to wear, I actually feel like I earned it compared to most others.
The floor caved in with the weight of our jaws suddenly dropping so hard.
(Was one of the many working on *all* the puzzles, not just the unlock for the last forge)
@@timp.211 as someone who has zero interest in destiny, but loves grandiose puzzles like this, thanks for your time mates!
I did this with my fireteam and going through it just made me admire how people came up with the code to unlock the Forge, it was an incredible experience...
I didn’t even know the event was going on, it completing bypassed me. However I think the most disappointing thing was how quickly they abandoned the vision. Less than 81hrs is kind of ridiculous.
I mean, their visions were shit. Their hints were shit and they knew it.
It seems that they gave up easily on their visions, however, the amount of hate they were getting from people on Twitter reddit and their own forum, after 24 hours of lab not being completed forced them to open the forge. I was playing back then, and it was unreal, it's nothing compared to the hate they got now for final assault or overall during the season for recycling most of the content, they probably were on the merge of major loss of player base because they locked content for which players paid behind an extremely hard and sophisticated puzzle. Ngl, personally I love the idea of Niobe labs, and would love to see something like that in game again, but maybe a slightly easier version
I feel like they kinda had to. One of the exotics you needed that forge to get has a kinda long quest and had a step that was tied to an activity that is only playable every three weeks. They got a lot of shit for the puzzle but imagine how much more they would get if the forge was unlocked so late that people didn't have time to do the quest and had to wait another 3 weeks just to finish it.
I missed the unlocking struggle and just always wondered how people figured out any of that. Thanks for making it semi clear .. yes those codes and combinations are like what????? Nice video!
These videos are super useful for my friends as they're newbies, they love your content as you explain everything very well and the videos are really well done
Would love to see this happen again. I wish bungie wouldn’t have opened the forge early.
I would love to see this again, the creators giving a challenge to the whole community keeps the game alive and creative juices running.
I'm happy I got involved with the third emblem puzzle and was one of the folks spearheading Niobe Labs proper.
Sad it took so long since puzzle 7 was essentially broken and ruined an otherwise insanely good event.
I will say, there may not be a super good recorded history of the emblem unlocks but I think they're critical to the problem solving behind Niobe Labs.
If you have time, might be another good video to make!
TheTeawrex thanks for the comment and all of what you do! ❤️
Keck yeah! I want more of those puzzles! That's what I loved so much on D1 for Outbreak Prime. I went through the whole thing with my 3 characters.. Great video man
Love the description you gave of Izanagi’s Burden, AKA
“If you don’t have it, people on LFG won’t let you raid” 😂
*Hold up, I didnt realize that was the lab. I found that before this event completed and i didnt even KNOW about the event at the time since I was newer. RIP*
You missed the part where on console, with a controller and capped sensitivity, it was nearly impossible for the player to even attempt doing the puzzles due to the time limit and poor hit registration.
Tbf some people just wanted to play the forge and didn’t give a hoot about the puzzle
And they couldn't wait an extra day for that content? Ruining the hard work and effort of the rest of the community? Sounds so utterly 'casual' to me, and it's a gross blight on the gaming community.

Others, like you, that look down on casual players ruin games. I blame these moronic streamers. Everyone is toxic and try hard because they want to be the next big streamer.
@@ryujinjakka4518 casuals still can just wind down and chill while playing. The puzzle was rewarding competitive players to find out how to solve it and all the casuals that didn't care about trying to solve the puzzle would be rewarded anyway with the content as soon as it was solved
REALLY good video but the one issue I had was you completely forgot to mention the fact that Bungie had to release additional info about the Level 7 puzzle midway through people solving it. If you recall they forgot to add the text to the monitor or it was a bug that made it not show up or something so players only had half of the clue to solve Level 7. Once Bungie gave the community that additional clue it made it possible for us to find the final solution and help Gladd and co beat it. I was in the Raid Secrets discord that day helping with solutions and I definitely remember there being a huge jump once Bungie released that additional nugget of info. Either way great video and awesome to see someone compile all the info in one place.
Evan, this is absolutely the type of content you should focus on bro! Much love!
I had just started playing D2 when this event started so I was clueless, playing the Red War campaign. But I agree, for the people who spent hours trying to solve the puzzle, there should've been better prizes than some exotic ghost shell. I also agree that bungie should've allowed for the deadline to be reached before opening the gates to bergusia.

@@Razgriz_01 Aw, I have been looking for people to play with :c
My thought on it is this, stick to your initial vision. After someone solved the puzzle open the forge. However I do not think that a puzzle of this caliber should have been tied to new released content. They could have tied it to an extravagant piece of gear/gun and emblem got the same outcome without making community mad because the content they paid for wa as not open on launch day. I mean a ghost shell, and emblem not much of an incentive to other players. However tie Jotunn and idk some fabulous piece of armor to that puzzle and boom people would work it. After couple of months open it up like they did and community happy. But a whole content drop or say the end of a forge, I was little upset. I see what they were going for and understand it. But they just tied something too big behind an extremely hard puzzle. Thank you for reading.
I think it's a cool idea to have. As someone that will never have the time or ability to fully participate in a first raid clear race, it's cool to see that stuff and watch other people do that.
The only thing I don't like is something's are tilted way towards whoever has the most free time, such as artifact level in level enabled events.
Because most people can choose to do raids each week, myself included but I don't so I don't complain.
But most people don't have the choice of playing 7 hours a day or w/e to grind out +40 light on the artifact.
It's so nice how a video game community can come together this much for one quest
What they should have done was released the puzzle a week early and gave us a "One week" deadline to solve it, either releasing it on time if we fail, or early if we succeeded... I'd see that as a win win.
I also wasn't playing during this time so I missed all the drama, but I still think my opinion would have been the same.
The Drama wasn't really that big for most of the players. Most did not even really care bout the puzzle, bcs of work/school and stuff. Some tried it, gave up and waited for someone to solve it or bungie to release it.
But the idea to bring sth like that a week or 2 before a big content update, so people could "work" for that new content on a fun way is dope! (And also they could focus just a bit more on solo players)
Lmao “Bloody Tears” is a great song to use with the context of the video
Hey i live just next to brocéliande! There is a lot of stories about that forest
Did you shoot it though?
The one time where “Listening to player feedback” was the worst thing bungie did. Not for the broken hints or mechanics, but the people complaining about not being able to access the forge. Because they caved and from this point forward, nothing close to Niobe labs has been in the game
what an incredible piece of content. the lore behind it and the black armory in general.. and the feeling when you finally complete it. the fact that the hints were taken outside of the game makes it even better; sure, it might have been overkill for a forge but niobe labs is probably the best thing in the game, in my opinion at least.
These secret missions make Destiny great
I would absolutely love another event like this. I was unfortunately moving overseas at the time and was unable to participate and could barely follow along while airport hopping. Black Armory was such a good expansion, but I feel like the way things are going now, we won't see anything like this until D3.
I know I’m a month late but you never know man! Shadow keep is going to have monthly content just like forsaken so who knows? Maybe bungie is working on a huge puzzle that requires you to go to multiple planets. That would be cool asf
Check out the r/raidsecrets subreddit now. There's a new puzzle undergoing at this exact moment! It's nuts.
I’m from the future. Corridors of time is coming
I think puzzles and things you're forced to think about and figure out is a huge, unique, trait that destiny 2 has, and I love every second of it
5:50 - Guess you could say that they were crying "BLOODY TEARS"
A final d2 puzzle that leads to D3 ..I don’t even even know if that makes sense but yeah
This is what I’ve missed while at work.
same ._.
You were working for 90 hours straight?
I really liked the idea and was completely hyped. Then I realized i couldn't do it, since I had no fireteam I played with. Well, thank goodness they opened it. I watched the streamers solve it and it was a great experience tbh. More pls.
At around 6:40 Gladd's chat was suggesting some off the wall stuff because no one could figure the puzzle out. He was very exhausted and very heated so now we have comedy gold.
Source: I was watching his stream during the entire niobe labs stream.
Edit: I guess I can't spell entire lol.
This reminds me of old COD zombies where teams would stay up multiple days or a week to sole the new easter egg once the map came out. It always brought the community together and it was always a fun experience. There should be more events like these
I've only got into Destiny 2 within the last couple of weeks so never experienced this, but I'm with you, I think they shouldn't have opened the forge until it was completed. I'd love to see more content like this, although frustrating, progression is the name of the game with games like this. Either way Destiny 2 is a hell of a fun game, I'm having a blast, and with Activision gone things can only get better!
These are the worst a stupidest waste of time events destiny has ever made puzzles like this literally had absolutely nothing todo with the game they could have made codes from years of in game content they had to pull from, they also ducked it up huge by one level they didn’t even have the info correct so even if you solved what they put in you’d be wrong the hit registry was trash so that would wipe you and the having to completely start over every time was stupid it should have been start over every level again instead it was there worst content they do horrible when it comes to puzzles
I managed to do niobe with some friends las month, it was unique, a recommended experience btw, the rewards should have been better though, the ghost shell is neat as well as the emblem but I think we deserved more tbh
Personally I believe it should of stayed locked, my only frustration is when well known streamers / content creators are dubbed "world first".
Well what do you want them to be called? Most recent fireteam Reedem are the most recent to complete Last wish
If they are world's first then they deserve the title
@@Ravenspire1996 Oh don't get me wrong, they've clearly done it first. I just find it more interesting when less "popular" influencers, etc complete these tasks.
@@ChalkanCheese i understand that
Your frustration makes no sense at all. Everyone had the same opportunity to be "world's first". Reality check not everyone can. You sound like this "I know Usain Bolt broke the world record but, i'm just frustrated that he's now dubbed the world's fastest". Grow up. No one is at the top forever. There will always be someone better that comes along. Work hard maybe one day you might just make it.
I would enjoy the puzzles and such. It really brings the community together when hardly anything else can.
If there was ever a game for this type of community event, destiny is it. I hope to see another puzzle like this one day
personally, I love this, and I think Destiny is the perfect platform to do this. Just don't put it behind a paywall
Bungie must have loved the 1999 version of Resident Evil 3
"So there's this compass you need. If you take it from the slot it's from the water you had to travel through to get to it becomes electrified. So instead you have to go to the statue of the Mayor and retrieve a bronze book. With that bronze book, you go back to the water fixture and take the compass, and then place the bronze book inside to make the water safe to pass through. After that you take the compass back to the statue and set it in the right hand, which'll cause the statue to rotate and give you... a $50 car battery."
I would absolutely love another event like this
I wish there were more puzzles like this, where you have to cooperate to get a solution instead of just killing stuff
Wait this is where the outro song came from with gladd talking 😮
Personally as a regular player who has a full time job, is married, and has other interests I don't like the idea of locking content behind overly complex puzzles, my time is limited to a degree and having to rely on full time streamers/players just feels wrong to me, that said a lack of challenge also feels wrong, ultimately I would say leave them in but not make them as obscure and as obtuse as Niobe labs was, I watched Gladd's stream when he went off on one about all the hoops they were looking at jumping through and you just knew there and then what Bungie was aiming for had failed.
Just because you have limited time doesnt mean everyone else does. You shouldnt restrict the way everyon else enjoys it because of your life situations
@@1RuneKing You realize he stated the same thing you said,but in reverse,right? I would have to agree with the OP here. Even though there's no-lifers that play games and can sit in their room full of redbull and Adderall for days on end,it doesn't mean the masses can. I love a grind in games and hate having things handed to everyone,but locking content behind insanely complex puzzles is just bad on the grand scale. Kudos to the people who don't socialize much and have their bills paid for them.
Didn't even know about this wtf I must live under a rock
Same bruh 😂😂
Same
I feel a deep sense of disappointment lmao

theres a surprising number of people who dont
“You bought the content.”
The content was the opportunity to solve the puzzle, not reap an unearned reward. Demanding that the devs open the forge when the puzzle was still unsolved is equivalent to demanding money because you bought a lottery ticket
We weren't sold a puzzle that only a select few could participate. Bungie advertised 4 forges and the exotic quests that came with it.
Instead we got a glitchy puzzle, which a select few streamers could play it and a community on hold until it was completed.
The game literally came to a halt until Niobe Labs was opened.
Its like we were forced to pay to watch someone else play for us. If it was a bonus forge or if it was free, I don't think the community would of complained. If it puzzle was easier (or worked like intended) and took a few hours to solve then I think the fan base would of forgiven it but it was 3 days of waiting.
It was just a bad idea.
And you don't buy a lottery ticket to watch someone else play the game and win.
The Comfy Geek I see. I didn’t know that it was the forges themselves that were promised
@@TheComfyGeek The puzzle was a part of the forge, you want the reward without doing the work.
@@TacNuke951 we didn't get to do the work.
We were allowed to watch the most popular streamers work with the top secret finders.
I love Destiny 2, but joined in season 6 with nothing but the base game, so I don't know much about destiny's dark release days, or wins with forsaken. ( now I have annual pass) . Your content is amazing and I really like it, and like knowing the history of my favorite game.
Hey, really loved your Last Wish video, and great job on the others including this one! Keep making stuff, you're a really good story-teller!
Bruh... I thought I was finished when I got Jotunn le monarque and izanagis burden but I guess I was wrong...
A ghost will never motivate me enough to complete a challenging activity for it. Or a sparrow.
Jeromy Sanchez exactly
STAYlN ALlVE I also agree with you guys... Getting a ghost shell doesn’t compel me to do this extended quest... the only time I was debating to do something like this was back when harbinger’s echo sparrow was available but it was bugged... so I gave up...
Jeromy Sanchez Exactly this...I mean literally nobody could solve it for the longest time & the rewards for doing such things in this game are always the shittiest things. Woopty fucking do a ghost and an emblem. Even the 999 shattered throne got ZERO rewards. It’s like Bungie was running out of ideas and needed a publicity stunt to increase game popularity. Also I could give two fucks about worlds first raids. Like don’t me wrong it’s great that it happens and congratulations to those who did but I don’t really care to have it slapped in my face when I log in. They did fucking congratulations you want a fucking cookie?
Man i miss playing destiny everyone i knew that played destiny moved on so i gave up trying to play
SuperSonicGoldens if they jumped off a bridge would you too? . Keep playing man
@@Don03G If jumping off a cliff requires you the same amount of thought -when- as* leaving a game, you have problems.
@@skullcrusade3436 It's an analogy fucktard
@@nicklasdaniels769 your analogy should make sense to be valid, "fucktard."
“Niobe Labs was one of the most complex puzzles in gaming”
Outbreak Prime in D1: Am I a joke to you?
I remember getting mine literally took me one entire day just finding people over and over again watching datto's guide so many times. When we finally cracked the code and the pyramid opened it was so satisfying. I was one of the readers sitting there with a binary to hex conversion chart or whatever for so long. Outbreak was hard but after hearing that one part about the gems and a code about a random forest in french was pretty dumb.
These puzzles is destiny community at its finest. This is why we love destiny
What belongs is having my Hammerhead back and properly usable!
