Destiny Has More Emergency Downtime... In The Middle Of Iron Banner

Destiny Has More Emergency Downtime... In The Middle Of Iron Banner

Dom Peppiatt

Destiny is due to go offline 6am through 9am PT today, to fix a series of issues players are having with connection to the game's multiplayer modes.

If you're in the UK, that's 2pm to 5pm (so it should be fine by the time you get home from work).

It's the same connection error that messed up last week's deployment of the Iron Banner - an ongoing problem Bungie is going to want fixed before the next DLC (Rise Of Iron) drops in September.

Don't expect Banner to be extended to account for this downtime, either - it's fixed into a weekly cycle and will go offline on the Tuesday reset as usual.

  • WAIT PEOPLE STILL PLAY DESTINY LOL SHIT GAME HAS TO BE PATCHED LUL LUL LUL
  • The game has been out almost 10 years this shouldn't be happening. Get it together Bungie
  • Unscheduled maintenance scheduled from 6-9 lol
  • 2**** years fml
  • @3/5 it shouldn't be but the reason it is is because they keep adding shit without fixing the main problem they patch the affected crap, but the next time they add some shit to it even something small, a new effect shows up to affect the game because they didn't fix the actual problem. It's like every time you cook, you burn yourself, instead of learning not to burn yourself like a dumbshit, you just keep putting aloe on it to take care of the burns. The problem isn't being fixed, it's just having what's affected cured instead of fixing the real issue.
  • Who in their right mind was still playing this fucking garbage more than 6 months after release. I've played a lot of games in my time and this is without a doubt one of my 5 worst.
  • @7- then you ain't played a lot of games..... what's your other worst games My list goes 1. Jumper 2. Avatar 3. Mars rover landing 4. Need for speed pro street 5. Connan
  • Destiny is the worst game I've ever played.
  • Shit happens with technology. It's not like it goes down frequently.
  • I love destiny articles I get to see the faces of the trolls still lingering underneath this bridge. OT: hope they get this shit fixed for good this time. Really want rise of iron to be a smooth unaffected launch. Fingers crossed I enjoy it as much as I did the taken king.
  • RIP Bungie. You were a great developer!......when you were making Halo games. Who am I kidding though? Destiny 2's pre-order and buy numbers will still be off the charts despite the piss-poor job they did on the first game.
  • @7 My gamerscore (which hasn't been updated on here in at least a year) begs to differ. I've got 333 games on my gamercard plus all the original xbox, PC, Gamecube, N64, SNES and GameBoy games from over the years. Only worse game I've played than Destiny on an xbox console has been Deadly Premonition. Destiny is overhyped shite.
  • @7 Me. I like shooters, especially ones with smooth, slick controls and sharp handling. I like space stuff. I like a good grind. Fucking sue me.
  • We keep seeing problems because all of the DLC we have seen were fully or partly developed with the full game. It was ripped out by Activision.... The problems keep coming back because they were built when the game was broken.... RoI should be new and have problems anew!
  • Hope RoI has a good ROI! ;-)
  • I really enjoy playing destiny but it honestly has the worst connectivity issues of any game I have ever played. I regularly play many other online games without issue, but every time I play I am booted to orbit or to the title screen at least a couple times. Soo frustrating.
  • @13 and yet you can't resist getting on a forum for it WTF
  • Am I the only one that really enjoys Destiny? The only frustrating issues I've had is getting the "weasel" error. And it only seems to happen on the X1. Bought it on the PS4 also and never had that issue. But other than that issue, I've thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of this game.
