Yeah it's not really a big deal. We are all in party chat having a laugh about it lol

 

[Caramello]

a mess of what magnitude? it's the middle of the night an hour after release. calm down.

It's 8pm where I am on launch day, it's a mess for sure.

 

[Zakalwe]

lmao where the fuck did you get THAT from

Holy shit wow

Some of the reactions here are golden for sure.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Finally in, only had to wait for 46k people.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

We're mad now but once we get in all will be forgotten.

This is very true

 

[Owlowiscious]

You guys and gals getting twisted do realise that dozens and dozens of unexpected problems could be the cause of this, right?

All it takes is a little human error or oversight and even the best laid plans and preparations can go to hell.

We're an hour after launch, people, chill your grills.

what fun is that

 

[deadduck]

The queue is a lie

Kicked again, now 268k

The queue is to buy time and stop the auth servers being hammered.

 

[Mrgamer]

I'm just in the toilet waiting it out lol

 

[neoism]

destiny servers not available..... 😑

booted..

queue 271652









.....


dear bungle

Yes how dare we want a game to work as intended at the time promised. We are such monsters.

 

[Frostt]

No suprise for me with the cue since is Bungie we are talking about...

 

[CouchMaster]

Knew something was up when I was repeatedly getting kicked out of tower before reset.

 

[17 Seconds]

It's 8pm where I am on launch day, it's a mess for sure.

it's not a "mess". it's a minor annoyance and a blip on the radar. people need to stop acting shocked when popular online games have issues immediately after launch. you should have known going in that there was a good chance of something like this happening.

 

[Nags]

lmao where the fuck did you get THAT from

Holy shit wow

From your own comment that I quoted.

They've used that money to make more and more content. You can't just pay for the maintainence of unused servers when the user base bails on you.

 

[Zakalwe]

No, but if you're actually getting legitimate stressed you are being ridiculous.

 

[Marvel]

Your bowls or the Queue?

Spoiler

lol

 

[Melchiah]

Nah. I'm fairly chill about server launch hiccups. Run of the mill for me. Destiny + TTK Launches were the exception not the rule.

Well, you said...

Is it early entry if no one else is getting in either.

...and I agree, it's not an early entry because no-one is getting in, eventhough we paid for it.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

it's not a "mess". it's a minor annoyance and a blip on the radar. people need to stop acting shocks when popular online games have issues immediately after launch.

No. What needs to happen is for games to actually work. What a concept.

 

[Geist-]

Hey guys, I haven't tested it yet, but I think you can preview weapon/gear rolls when you get packages.

 

[Jinjo]

No suprise for me with the cue since is Bungie we are talking about...

We haven't had launch-issues with Destiny in two years, but whatever, that's fine.

I'm taking this in good fun reading the reactions and jokes on here and reddit with my friend. Despite this issue I'm having a good time lol. I can feel for people who were ready for this as much or more than most. I can't let stuff like this make me mad. Shit happens.

Exactly. I'm just watching Twitch streams until I see someone successfully connect to try for myself.

No one paid for "early entry".

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

From your own comment that I quoted.

How is it the users fault? This is America we're not obligated to keep playing games if we don't want to.

 

[Kensuke]

Kicked for the 4th time. 285k

I think I'm done for today.

 

[noomi]

Still down?

Right!

I woke up at 9pm gmt, showered, made a pot of coffee, set up my snacks and beanbag and got comfy and now I'm sat here waiting with the rest of you.

It's fine, it happens, we'll all be playing soon enough and none of this will matter.

 

[Zocano]

Still down?

Go back to bed

 

[Gala]

Still down?

Get up, queue up, get kicked and repeat!

 

[bonchooski]

Man what the shit was at 238k booted to 297k.

 

[FyreWulff]

Hedgey is in

[KxoZz]

All the gifs and images are making this wait worthwhile at least lol

 

[hEist]

kicked...
145k -> 302k

welp, tell my mom I love her.

 

[Melchiah]

No. What needs to happen is for games to actually work. What a concept.

I couldn't agree more. It's beyond me why people are taking their side, and trying to belittle the issue.

 

[Makikou]

Good thing I didn't take a day off?

 

[chronic_archaic]

That's it, I'm going to sleep.

 

[Zakalwe]

The queue is a lie. As others have said, it's almost certainly there to keep the authentication servers from being hammered while they resolve the issue(s).

Ignore the numbers, we're very likely all sitting in the exact same positions.

.

Read what you wrote again.

Seriously, is there any point bickering about this?

 

[TsuWave]

was 89534 on the queue and it booted me. come back and now im 256311 on the queue.

wtf bungie

 

[Marvel]

Eat

Sleep

Queue

Repeat

 

[Bradach]

I hope you guys get in soon.

I had planned on lurking in this thread all afternoon so that I could live vicariously through you all until work is over.

 

[Melchiah]

No one paid for "early entry".

You do, when you pre-order / buy something day one.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

.

Read what you wrote again.

I just did. It's still not "the users fault". It's the fault of the game not maintaining its user base with radness. Again, America, free country, etc.

 

[Zakalwe]

I couldn't agree more. It's beyond me why people are taking their side, and trying to belittle the issue.

Maybe some of us have been a part of game launches for a while now, or maybe some of us work in tech/online and understand that "shit happens" is a very legitimate phrase.

It's not a big deal at all, and there are dozens of reason why it could happen.

We all need to relax and wait it out patiently.

 

[Darth Tastrophe]

Still not as bad as the lines at Disneyland.

 

[GreyWind]

Kicked again now I'm at 320828

[Zakalwe]

You do, when you pre-order / buy something day one.

No, you pay for it early and get access the exact same time as everyone else.

There is no "early access" unless you actually get access before people who didn't pre-order, which is not the case here.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

The queue breeds madness. Don't let it divide you, Guardians.
