How much time off work did you take?

I planned for five days.
I'm fairly certain the vast majority of that time will still be available for me to play Destiny if I want to.

How long will it take to knock out the story mode? I'm hoping to do it this evening around 5pm

Feels good to get to 9k and then get to 300k.
This queue doesn't even work hahahahaha
This queue doesn't even work hahahahaha
And everyone else can be too. In a day or so (probably a few hours even) we'll all be playing as normal and this won't even matter.

Sure this is still early in the day
and the problems are evident. Wait to later and it'll get slowly more hectic. Who's to blame? Bungee or Activision?

Maybe some of us were there, when Destiny alpha, beta and vanilla launched, and had no issues, and thus expected this launch to be the same. Not to mention, that I buy the majority of my games day one, and this is the first time I can't play something I've bought at launch. There may be bugs at release, but at least you could play them, unlike this.
It's a big deal, when I've paid for something that doesn't work, at all.

Not hating on people who took time off, but for me video games will always be there. Jobs may not.

Got kicked back to the 130,000s. Hopefully it's up and running by tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to get some time in before graveyard shift.

Love that I got booted twice, losing my low number position. Now it looks like the queue is actually working and I'm stuck in the back...

That 99% uptime!

Yup everyone acting like it's going to get better makes me laugh.
We are the 1% that wakes up at reset to play. Just wait for the other 99% of people who play after work.
Don't log off after you get on today. Don't idle!
It 's an hour or so after launch. Sometimes things go wrong with online games. Destiny launches before were the exception, not the rule. You can't ha e had much experience with online launches before, and you certainly don't work in the tech/online world where you see this stuff from the inside and understand how it works (or doesn't work, as the case may be).
It's not a big deal, and in a few hours your game will very likely work just fine.
It very likely isn't a queue. More a way to keep the servers from being hammered while they work on it.

Dude, that would have sucked.

The point is, in case it escaped you, that people paid for the game before its release, but aren't getting access day one.

If this queue isn't actually real then isn't that even worse? Giving people a false number and hope.

324k on Xbox hahahaha
I totally agree. I'm responsible for 10 servers of our company; and our infrastructure is relatively simple, but scaling up still takes time. You try to scale up when needed, but there is a difference that you're infrastructure "is looking good on paper and should be able to handle -amount of traffic-" compared to having a giant influx of traffic, overloading things or actually exposing flaws. Maybe it's just a small part in your chain that wasnt able to handle X-amount of concurrent connections.
That said, I do think that Bungie should do a form of regular beta/stresstests. But I guess that they do not want or can spend the resources on that.

The queue seems to move faster when you're in last place. Or maybe it's faster overall just now?

Day one isn't over lol... it's barely begun
Since I have some free time to make a post, 78865 in line.
I played Destiny on the Xbox thru TTK before taking a break to catch up on some other games. I wanted to get back into the game with the new expansion but most of my friends I played with moved over to The Division and aren't planning on picking it up. I've always kinda regretted missing out on the exclusives with the PS4 and I actually prefer the DS controller, So I'm starting fresh on the PS4.
If anyone else is in the same boat and would like to team up sometime, My PSN is Star_Gypsy. If anyone would like to do the "refer a friend" please let me know. I would really like to get that shader.
And I've been booted from the queue. I knew I shouldn't have taken my eyes off the tv.
Threads moving so fast, Probable not the best time to post this.

You realize day 1 just started right? Give it time. Not every launch can be perfect. It's been, what, 2 hours?

Probably those of us who were in that 30000 getting booted to the back of the queue lol.

LOL. How are you reading this as me needing to calm down?
A number of people, known to Bungie, pre paid for this expansion yet couldn't, and still can't, access the content at the time Bungie said it would be available. Right?
