I think the Forge would be a lot more tolerable if I was able to use it at the start of every depth. The only annoying aspect of the forge, to me, is the fact that I always have to waste time by leaving the party just to return to haven so I can heat my item and hopefully go back down if I get reinvited (or have a friend or guildmate in the party). if I could just do it myself at the start of every depth without having to waste time going back up just to heat and go back down, it would be a lot more bearable.
Make the Forge usable at the start of every Depth

You can do that already, unless you're running levels that give good amounts of heat, in which case you have to return to haven? Like why?

To keep forging data untainted by depth, of course.
I hope OP is doing this as well.

That's the problem. I realize
That's the problem. I realize you can do that in regular Clockworks depths, but those more often than not give pitiful amounts of heat, even in Tier 3. It's a grindy shame but FSC is the definitive place for grinding, both for heat and for crowns. It's unknown to me whether or not heating is possible in Shadow Lairs, but assuming it's not, it should be.
I'd also love to see a return of the old HUD and the old loot system. Everyone I talk to feels the same way.

Hey, ho, it's me, ya know
Yes please. The fact I can't use my 5 year long loading screen to Forge because you need to stand on the Arsenal mat is highly depressing.

You could even use the forge they have in Haven
This also happens to me when I enter treasure vaults. Sure, back in the old days there needn't arsenal stations in treasure vaults due to the lack of enemies, but if you don't want a thread suggesting reverting back to "the glorious olden days when somebody somewhere actually paid real money for your 5* gear", then maybe you shouldn't remind them of how much easier it was to heat up said equippment all the time. A lot of the levels in the clockworks were designed with those old days in mind, and while it is mostly compatible with the Spiral Knights of today, the seams start to show when you encounter things like Shiny Valestone Deposits, energy activated turrets or the occasional newsflash about "Freedom to explore" and elevators now being free.
I like this game, even if it could be a little less broken, but I find it extremely frustrating to run into things that once would have been awesome and really cool, but now just act as a reminder of how awesome and cool it could have been back before battle sprites. I propose looking through every level and setpiece and asking yourself if this works for the Spiral Knights of today, or if it is is just a ghost of the past.
I am way to tired for this
You can do that already, unless all you are running are boss levels.
