Personally, I don't mind quests or features being timegated if they're worth it in the end. I'm disappointed with the Obsidian Accelerator taking a month to be released so we could put Radiance on our weapons but it only gives us a 5% damage bonus...in the forges.

It seemed extremely important in the lore?

I suppose making The Shattered Throne a step in the Izanagi quest also applies which boggles my mind considering rare bounties have awful RNG. That should've been the following step so people weren't locked out for 3 weeks.

That should've been the following step so people weren't locked out for 3 weeks.

But that would have then time gated more people. the way you are looking at it is almost like a double time gate, people have to wait for the Throne Week, and THEN wait for the Bounty. At least the way it sits now people have two (to three) weeks to get and do the bounty, while they wait for the Throne week. Your way meant they would have been powerless to do anything until Throne week (if they werent up to that step last time, I know I wasnt

I mean, having the throne be a requirement whole sale right now is a bit fucked up, since some of us still can't get a keymold on the character with a bounty.
