1. That's 2 hours more than it should.
2. Or they saved up on servers, and didn't prepare for the amount of players coming back, and wanting to try Destiny now, eventhough they must have had the sales numbers. If that's so, they saved up on the players' expense.

Shit happens. People make mistakes. There's no reason making a big deal about it. Not everyone is perfect.

i've been out of the loop. have they announced what day the raid launches, and what the recommended light level is?

Apparently, you're still not done with arguing, and want to have the last word, eh?
Fits this situation perfectly, as no-one is able to actually use the product they've paid for.

Raid is Friday, not sure on the recommended light.
The Queue is a lie.
An hour or two and we'll all be in and this will be but a distant memory.
And apparently you're not a man of your word as you're still at it. I'm not the one who said I was "done" arguing.
And no, some people are playing so "no-one" is simply not true.
And this is online gaming, I'm fairly certain if you read the small print it will tell you online gaming is subject to unexpected down time.
Nothing that's happening here is a "fiasco".

It's pretty obvious you don't understand much about enterprise network infrastructure, because there are a billion things other than "not enough servers" that would have caused this.

...Booted again.
Do you realize people take off work for this? Wake up at 2am? It's unacceptable. They can't even keep people's place in line for the queue.

Actually, there are a few people here that are playing at this very moment!
Seriously guys. Bungie is not perfect, quit making it out like any small mistake is the end of the world. Shit happens. Developers make mistakes.
We still have the entire rest of the day to get in and there's still a whole year until D2. I think you'll be able to play this soon.
He's gone full hissy. There's no coming back from it, regardless of reasoning.
Word.

it's such a massive failure that everyone will immediately forget it the second it's fixed.

Posting queue positions and 'booted again' is getting old. Don't bother.

Take off work? Some people lost their jobs and families for this!

I do understand and I still say shit happens. People make mistakes and Bungie makes mistakes just as much as us. They're not like Blizzard, where they can pull this stuff out of nowhere and it works.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset. But it's still only been 2 hours. You still have the entire rest of the day to play this.

What in the hell? I'm 158k in the queue. I didn't even know the game could reach capacity. Go to sleep you freaking nerds

maybe this will teach you not to take off work for an online video game that might launch with server issues.

Went from like 250k to 30k.

Or maybe some people have a bigger perspective. I used to work in server backup support for EMC. I saw this happening to literally every Fortune 500 company in the world - Microsoft, Dell, IBM, the White House, NASA, everybody - multiple times a day. Enterprise infrastructure involves a number of moving parts and there's no magic wand that makes it all better, especially at 3am. It's likely not even something Bungie handles support for internally that's causing the roadblock, it's probably another company whose support center in Europe or India is managing things at this hour.

Sure, people make mistakes, but I'm puzzled how many here defend the corporation in a situation like this. Especially, when other game developers/publishers are blamed for less, like bugs at launch which don't actually prevent anyone from playing the game.
How much is Bungie paying you, Live?

Not defending bungie. This is just a hiccup though. Relax.

These servers need to go live before y'all choke each other through the damn internet.
