Anyone having issues right now? Got thrown out and can't connect again.

 

[Greenymac]

What's the best place to kill 7 hive with a nova bomb?

I feel like you asked because you knew the answer and just wanted someone to say WEVE AWOKEN THE HIVE!

 

[Jest Chillin]

Destiny doesn't have random loot, so there is no reason why it can't be offline. There's no innate risk of people making hacked weapons. They should be able to authenticate people's loot because the stats for weapons are fixed to such a limited amount of variance.

People could still potentially dupe weapons and gear, which provide supplies directly responsible for upgrading. Not to mention whatever else people could mess with in terms of abusing drops.

 

[Hawkian]

Looks like no Destiny for me today, I've had no luck connecting and have a party to attend later.

same, few more hours to try though.

 

[Ramirez]

If Destiny 2 doesn't have an offline mode, I might not buy it.

Well, that isn't happening. (offline)

 

[Deku Tree]

On PS3 the menus are so slow that going into the menus during a combat engagement of any kind no matter how easy is almost always causes you to die.

@cl112809

edit: LOL where are you at? if youre are steam, summon me Sunbro really for some jolly coop

Just keeled old iron king. got some help thank you though!

Hawkian, tell your fellow hawks to stop attacking me. I was in the middle of an epic one-on-one fight with this tiger only for this feather bastard to swoop in and claw my face. Then the damn tiger saw that I had my guard down and killed me. Fucking pussy.

He just saw an opportunity to kill you both, I'll see what I can do though

I'm curious if I missed something about Bungie being responsible in some way for the inaccessibility right now?

Dupe it for what, materials? That's all they'll get out of it since there is no trading. I'd be willing to let a crappy material system be compromised for the inclusion of offline play.

 

[MrAnderson]

No that punishes everyone. They should do what Rockstar did and extend his stay and provide extra bounties to make up for the days missed.

Having his same inventory two weeks in a row would be awful.

Bungie showing no goodwill with these issues is disgusting.

That's a fine suggestion as well, and I agree, same inventory two weeks in a row would be lame.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Rockstar announced yesterday they were extending. Bungie has not had a peep other than to deal with it.

Yes, happened to a good amount of people.

Just realize I type the wrong word, I need to stop typing fast and re-read what I write..

 

[Deku Tree]

We've awoken the Hive!

That's easy. Wake the Hive and put Shatter and Bloom on.

You know where

You playing on PS3 again or have luck on PS4?

I feel like you asked because you knew the answer and just wanted someone to say WEVE AWOKEN THE HIVE!

Thanks! I tried that a few times before asking but it wasn't working will try again with Hucast suggestions. OK did it first try now.

Yup playing on PS3. Just doing grinding.

 

[Midas]

Yes, happened to a good amount of people.

Thanks. Looks like it might be PSN. The app can't load anything.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Well since I can't get back on, but my wife is still connected, I jumped on her account and knocked out the PvP part of her Thorn bounty real quick. Absolutely insane how much faster that is as a Warlock.

 

[TheTylerDurden]

There has got to be more going on with PSN than we know. This is taking far too long.

 

[Frenden]

I tried Adding @cl112809, but Twitter couldn't find ya!

added you just now

 

[Bunta]

Thanks. Looks like it might be PSN. The app can't load anything.

I can get to the character select screen, but it won't connect after that.

 

[Frenden]

added you just now

RECIPROCATED.

 

[Midas]

I can get to the character select screen, but it won't connect after that.

Same thing here. It's just weird, you're obviously connected. But then what?

 

[BlindMonkey]

I can get to the character select screen, but it won't connect after that.

Same.

But isn't this happening on Xbox also, meaning it's Bungie's end?

 

[Byron Bluth]

I can get to the character select screen, but it won't connect after that.

Yeah for those who have been able to connect to PSN that is the problem in Destiny now.

Friends list and messaging works fine. PSN Store and What's New and such are not working.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Edit: Sorry to those who wanted to be surprised by GBs deliberations

Fuckin aye man

 

[Acorn]

Hope Xur is there for an extra day

 

[Rixa]

If its not PSN error message, I get to this point:

After selecting character, comes this error.

Time to take some beer & w(h)ine.

 

[JTran2003]

Havent been able to connect for three days even after attempting the MTU fix and whatnot... No dailies, havent completed both raids, weekly or nightfall... Withdrawal period is always the hardest...

 

[Darryl M R]

So is the PSN servers just fried? What's the deal?

It's scary to think that some group of people could do this everyday nonstop. Really doesn't make me look forward to an always online future.

 

[rNilla]

We've broken the Hive.

 

[Byron Bluth]

So is the PSN servers just fried? What's the deal?

My friends list and messaging on PS4 is fine. Anything in game needing PSN does not. PS Store is down and What's New as well.

Hold onto your butts

 

[Dhruv_hanom]

Rockstar announced yesterday they were extending. Bungie has not had a peep other than to deal with it.

Maybe they can't extend xur's date without releasing a patch or something similar.

 

[Byron Bluth]

Maybe they can't extend xur's date without releasing a patch or something similar.

So very lame. Sounds plausible too since it is likely an automated thing they just input values into for the various items.

You down for Crotas End raids at reset again with the usual people we've been playing with the past few weeks? I sent a PSN message and everyone is good to go. I know you haven't been able to get online

 

[timnich]

Playing on the PS3 version, it really sucks that the expansion isn't cross platform...Luckily I'm still able to pick up Eris' bounties and get them out of the way.

Also, wow are the load times terrible. Going to the inventory screen in a mission takes about 20-30 secs, just wanted to pop a black hive to get some extra glimmer and ended up getting killed before the icons would even load.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Maybe they can't extend xur's date without releasing a patch or something similar.

I can't imagine them being that short sighted. I remember during the beta they were opening and closing Iron Banner without a patch. Why wouldn't they make all of the vendors dynamic?

 

[Frenden]

Times like this make a stronger argument for Xur being a more permanent fixture in spite of the social/psychological reasons for making him a limited and special event.

 

[joecanada]

We've awoken the Hive!

What's the actual name of this mission again? I always forget

 

[Frenden]

I wasn't pro continual Xur presence until they increased his responsibilities. He's now the most important NPC in the game and is available the least.

I wouldn't be suprised if their "Hot fix" is to offer same stuff next Xursday too...

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Darkness Below?

 

[bobbyrawlins]

"You must be connected to Xbox Live..."

I am connected to Xbox Live, you effing cunt.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

lol...two weeks of no exotic engram, and NLB. No way.

 

[gdt]

If PS3 holds it together I'll go rent it after work. I'm off tomorrow so I need to Destiny it up. It's obvious this won't be fixed for awhile.

 

[rNilla]

Offer the same upgrades, mostly anyway, refresh everything else. No one will miss NLB.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Dupe it for what, materials? That's all they'll get out of it since there is no trading. I'd be willing to let a crappy material system be compromised for the inclusion of offline play.

I wouldn't. Duping the right items for materials would trivialize the content through leveling too fast on a wide scale. We've already seen just how fast a 32 sword wielder can melt Crota. Spread that across a much wider group of players (because once a duping technique is found, people will flock to it en masse) and it completely trivializes the content.

I can't imagine them being that short sighted. I remember during the beta they were opening and closing Iron Banner without a patch. Why wouldn't they make all of the vendors dynamic?

It just depends on whether or not the vendor was ever intended to be dynamic. Iron Banner was designed to come and go on their schedule. Xur seems to be intended to be a set schedule.. so it could be different in implementation.

 

[Shito]

Levelled up my titan from 10 to 16 those past hours.
Decided to change character to give him the stranger's rifle to go on, but fell into the same trap as you guys: can't connect anymore.
Oh well, time for a pause I guess.

 

[names2hard4you]

If app we warlocks get is the ahamkara gauntlets 3 weeks in a row I'll snap

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Cause Bungie

Yes that's only one of the reasons why always online sucks for consumers

 

[figadapaura]

Everyone deserves the chance to get NLB.

 

[rNilla]

Everyone deserves the chance to get NLB.

They should gift it to everyone as a way of making up for this mess. Then we'll all be happy.

What If I already bought it last night? That would cause a mini shit storm
