Why get rid of the forge?

Now I don't have a reason to play DST anymore ;_;

 

Also, Invisible Inc. 2 please.

I suppose because it divides the community...As in like there would be less people playing on Survival servers, if people are using their time playing Forge instead.

Also, Forge doesn't have all that much re-playability. Once you beat, there's not much else to it. Eventually, even if it stayed, people would get bored of it sooner or later..

This.

It's been stated countless times that the Forge is gonna come back eventually, but right now Klei wants to move forward with more lore based events.

Then wait for the next event, the next forge event, or try one of the mod game mode like the hunt.

 

Forge is an event that only last for some time for various reasons.

Because players will become bored eventually, creating a circle when people take more time to find a group, leading to more people bored, leading to more people taking more time to find a group.

Because the event is repetitive. This is needed, so people can learn and become better, but doesn't work well over time. Classic DST has randomness and diversity to counter that. Look, yourself in the same post ask for Invisible Inc. 2. I suppose that playing the mission of Invisible Inc again doesn't provide the same fun than a new Invisible Inc ? It's why event must change over time.

Because one day we will have other events. So people must not be divided between forge and other events. And there must be a pause between events so people can relax, enjoy the normal game and not feel like there are too much event.

Because of balance for skin, too. Skins are attractive now, but with forge forever, people could get bored to obtain again forge icon they already got a lot, or disappointed they bought a pack because they have enough spool now...

Grand Forge Boarrior is licking his wounds and plotting against the survivors who brought him down. He'll be back one day. Trust me. And, oh boy, he will be madder than ever.

If you played only for the forge then it might be time to move on to a different game.
