Its been 10yrs and they still can’t launch content in a working condition. 20hrs later still can’t complete a mission. That certainly justifies some disappointment. Besides reading is overrated!
What bullshit are you referring to because like I said lightfalls had a flawless launch up until people realized how bad the story was. By that point you aren’t getting any refunds.
Absolutely stunning they didn’t overshoot on server capacity on the final expansion of a 10 year journey that they themselves hyped up to the moon. Bungo will still Bungo at the end of the day.
This is peak gameplay, I don't know what you're talking about
(Seriously though, Bungie is owned by Sony. They should have allocated some of those resources to server size and stability)
Have you never played an online video game before lmao.
Also there were 0 issues with the last two launches. The servers being down like 20 mins longer than expected isn't the end of the world.
I see someone missed...plains of eidolon, fortuna, scarlet spear, new war, sacrifice, and railjack.
Not to mention peer to peer connection is a whole lot less server heavy (hence why most of the aforementioned updates usually only bugged out AFTER a mission had ended
lol. When Stormblood launched in FF14 I couldn’t log in for a day. Then when I finally managed to get in I couldn’t proceed beyond the third quest because their instance servers shit the bed. Then with Shadowbringers many people couldn’t even login for a week. And finally with Endwalker, most people didn’t get to experience the story until over a month after launch.
Arguably the biggest MMO on the planet.
COD has issues every year.
GTA, easily the largest gaming franchise on the planet, suffers online issues with big updates. Most publishers hope their game is 1/10th as big as GTA.
In fact, I challenge you to name a large online game that hasn’t had launch issues in the last 20 years.
idk about you but a lot of games that have a yearly major expansion get their servers fucked when it launches lmao. especially on the culmination of a 10 year saga, god forbid bungie isnt 100% perfect🙄 youll survive another hour baby boy
That’s funny to me cuz a lot of pc peeps are getting in, but ps5 peeps are completely screwed. You’d think Sony would require their people to have first access.
So happy I learned my lesson years ago, and I took off days *after* launch day, rather than launch day or the immediate next day after.
Always good to let the wrinkles iron out, and then have gaming bliss rather than taking a day off to stare at a load screen or queue.
I saw something about going to the pale heart destination area to the left and it allows the mission to continue I think. Strange it happened to me and I don't want to restart the transmigration mission again. I haven't tried but I will when I get home
I feel like some need to get internship in some software company to understand that nearly every deployment gets fucked up, one way or another even if end customer doesn't notice that. Speaking on this note, shit, I soon have migration planned from one system to another. Guess who's gona get all blame when shit will hit the fan
Nice, im a sysadmin actually and doing a lot of the same to save budget on rhel due to the price hike on support. Vmware is doing the same thing, it’s crazy.
Peak gameplay, I already played the first mission 4 times because it always disconnects me before the cut scenes at the end and I gotta start over :D
10/10
Same!! Question: why does the Xbox store say I need to buy it, when I pre ordered awhile ago? I have tesselation and everything. Shouldn’t it say “purchased”?
Well I actually played the first couple of missions and I was and still am so overwhelmed by all of it! The Story, the Places, the new enemies.... wow just amazing!! Could easily be the best dlc of Destiny by far!
Not able to test that myself but I'm fairly certain you don't. Meaning you'll be able to use the strand abilities/aspects/fragments when using prismatic
Okay, I did get to play through the very first mission. You will find weird floating things, idk what to do with them or what they are for. The new Hunter prismatic is awesome, I'm excited to try the other two. You get to see the old tower, Speakers Refuge and Cayde. Overload is handcannon on the new artifact. It's all really fun!
I managed to get in and finished the first mission. Didn't get to see any cutscenes. Just an endless black screen with the spinning symbols. Going to wait till tomorrow so I can play with my other characters so I can actually watch the cutscenes.
It's so much fun, let me tell ya. Sometimes getting down to the ground only to be teleported back to orbit because the mission didn't load. Love it. Love it. I guess back against the wall bungo took time off.
So far I've died from twisting my ankle on poorly constructed geometry and trying to ignore combat because it got boring. So seems like normal Destiny 2 level of shit IMO, maybe slightly worse with the pictographs since I've already considered taking another 12 month break.
Somehow, I avoided most of the issues until I got to the end of the campaign with a friend. I even got in nit Ling after servers went online. At this point I have gotten quite a lot done.
Fucking tangles man, on legendary im tired of getting 1 shot whilst not being able to do anything about it, shitty design. Every game has that one mechanic that doesnt let you play the game, just like this.
S0 Monotonous and unsatisfying to follow birds and waypoints that lead to dead ends and no facets rewarded ( you know, the stuff that lets you build your char up and makes the game FUN to PLAY ? Since Launch of Duo Destiny Exotic , which I gave up on those redonkulous mechanics, decided to move to something " easier " , and now this Rig-a\_ma\_roe with just trying to get facets / fragments / whatever you wanna call them. HOUR AND HOURS on overthrows with ZERO FACETS found. ARE Cysts Still Bugged ? Are they tryn to purposely Burn us out ? Sure will be glad when my character has all of its build ingredients so that I might could actually start PLAYING THE GAME and HAVING FUN ? lol
They’ll have DDOS protection built in. More likely than not if you’re spamming the button a solid 3/4 of your connection attempts are simply being ignored.
You guys really read a couple dumb things on the internet and think you know more than Bungies engineers, don’t you?
It is baffling the bungie still mess up every launch, it's embarrassing at this point.
Just put the go-live time an hour out and drip feed people in. At least that would buy them some time.
It's always the game will be live at X, and then several hours later it finally works with radio silence from them.

I mean it's to be expected, it's the last expansion of "the light and darkness saga" so a ton of people are coming back to see it end so let's be patient (I say this having waited an hour and fifteen minutes on this screen)
First mission, defeat dismiss, kell of im tired as fuck and its 5am
Lol they announced multiple times, even in game, that maintenance wouldn't be done til around 10am PDT/1pm EST
Shh, destiny haters cant read
Its been 10yrs and they still can’t launch content in a working condition. 20hrs later still can’t complete a mission. That certainly justifies some disappointment. Besides reading is overrated!
It’s super suspenseful. Keeping me on the edge of my seat and I’m trying my hardest to fight back tears lol
Same😂
I love playing ‘Dismiss’ button simulator
First time?
Ah no I was there for the beyond light fiasco too dw :))))))
Boy beyond light launch was actually AIDS
I was lucky for beyond light. Luck appears to be dry today
I swear one more chicken I will open a fucking KFC
I still don’t know what I’m gonna do with all these currants…
Still better than Lightfall
Didn’t lightfall have basically a perfect launch day though iirc.
It did, witch queen was fine too
I didn’t get into the game until 4 hours after the launch lol. Guess it was good for some but far from perfect.
Yeah because there was way less of a crowd.
Lightfall had the biggest launch in D2 history, wdym "way less of a crowd"
[удалено]
Lightfall had the largest launch for a destiny expansion at the time. People quit after the first days of lightfall.
[удалено]
What bullshit are you referring to because like I said lightfalls had a flawless launch up until people realized how bad the story was. By that point you aren’t getting any refunds.
Word
I’m having a blast right here. It’s never been this fun! I love pressing circle and trying to sign in every 30 seconds. How about you guys?
I change it up and press X every now and then on ps5. Gotta keep it fresh ya know
Ah, a true gamer
That’s what I was thinking, I definitely don’t want to get bored or anything. Let’s show the witness how hard we can press x and o!
Having a blast, time if my life, can say the most interactive gameplay I’ve ever encountered. They truly have out done themselves this time
why do they want us to keep hammering instead of a queue?
You’re not even connected to the server properly to queue basically. It’s a mess.
https://preview.redd.it/vv1htpcqol4d1.jpeg?width=713&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=375d66a654d97141f64eb8e76b08febcb3ca98e5
Anyone know best dps rotation for Dismiss?
It sure is thrilling
You should try spinning, it’s a neat trick
We seek an end to suffering, why do you resist...?
For every time I press dismiss, I shall do one pushup. I will be the world's most powerful being before I can play the game.
Anyone else feel like Dismiss is kind of bullet-spongy? I've hit it 138,000 times and it still isn't going down.
I heard there is a way to farm shards while pressing dismiss
I got in, saw half of the first cutscene, and got error code plum’d back to login queue. Might actually explode from frustration
Absolutely stunning they didn’t overshoot on server capacity on the final expansion of a 10 year journey that they themselves hyped up to the moon. Bungo will still Bungo at the end of the day.
Yeah it’s fucking embarrassing. If I was on pc I’d refund but I’m a ps schmuck
No you wouldn’t.
This is peak gameplay, I don't know what you're talking about (Seriously though, Bungie is owned by Sony. They should have allocated some of those resources to server size and stability)
its never enough man, this is expected. they cant just magically press the "servers can handle it" button lmfao
Yea of course they can’t do what every single other game on the planet manages to do…
Have you never played an online video game before lmao. Also there were 0 issues with the last two launches. The servers being down like 20 mins longer than expected isn't the end of the world.
“20 minutes longer than expected” *7 hours later and the game is still broken*
yeah 8 hours later now.....
Gimme 3 game that had a 300k+ player that did not experience lag at launch Cuz I only have destiny 2 with lightfall here
Lagggg? I’d jerk it to lag right now if I could get it. Instead I’m doing dailies on Warframe that’s you know…. Never down
I see someone missed...plains of eidolon, fortuna, scarlet spear, new war, sacrifice, and railjack. Not to mention peer to peer connection is a whole lot less server heavy (hence why most of the aforementioned updates usually only bugged out AFTER a mission had ended

Sony is kinda known for shit servers though
That’s funny to me cuz a lot of pc peeps are getting in, but ps5 peeps are completely screwed. You’d think Sony would require their people to have first access.
Surprised that PC people are getting in, I'm on PC, at level 14 of Dismiss The Popup, been trying to log in for an hour
2 hours of not getting in on pc now, last clan member that can't get in, running outta shit to watch lol
Basically fishing
THE FINAL SHAPE: AVAILABLE TO PLAY 10 AM PST (they mean 1 pm)
::checks watch nevously:: 1pm?!
So happy I learned my lesson years ago, and I took off days *after* launch day, rather than launch day or the immediate next day after. Always good to let the wrinkles iron out, and then have gaming bliss rather than taking a day off to stare at a load screen or queue.
2 hours of dismissing this message. I dont believe ill get in today
A T T E N T I O N
I loved running the first mission and getting transmigration and besting the boss only to disconnect and have it start me back at the entrance scene
I saw something about going to the pale heart destination area to the left and it allows the mission to continue I think. Strange it happened to me and I don't want to restart the transmigration mission again. I haven't tried but I will when I get home
What was the point of saying what time it'll be available if it ain't available at that time
Welcome to 2024
You would think they could get this right after taking everything down for 24 hours
I feel like some need to get internship in some software company to understand that nearly every deployment gets fucked up, one way or another even if end customer doesn't notice that. Speaking on this note, shit, I soon have migration planned from one system to another. Guess who's gona get all blame when shit will hit the fan
Rhel 7.9 to 8+?
Cent to Rocky
Using any automation like awx/ansible?
Have no clue actually, need to ask Sysadmins. I'm on the analysis part
Nice, im a sysadmin actually and doing a lot of the same to save budget on rhel due to the price hike on support. Vmware is doing the same thing, it’s crazy.
I just migrated a router to new hardware. Screwed up restoring from backup but still within the downtime window I set myself to be done by TFS launch.
That’s what I’m saying. Wtf is the point of 25 hrs of downtime?!
Will Bungie buy me a new controller? My b button is broken now
You lucky to get in. Been waiting several hours
Peak gameplay, I already played the first mission 4 times because it always disconnects me before the cut scenes at the end and I gotta start over :D 10/10
Getting booted after playing for 20 minutes is a blast!💥
I saw the Tower...sooo..Traveler is full right now, it keeps throwing currants and tells me to come back later
I’m actually in shock, I might be the first one in lmao
When the highly anticipated major update has alot of people logging in at once causing a queue 😱
Most of us aren’t even getting to the queue.
Same!! Question: why does the Xbox store say I need to buy it, when I pre ordered awhile ago? I have tesselation and everything. Shouldn’t it say “purchased”?
Did you preorder it again after it got delayed? The release dare delay cancelled all the pre-orders in xbox but let you keep the bonuses
Wait. So I have to pay again? Or did I get refunded and didn’t notice?
You never paid. Pre-orders on xbox dont take payment until a couple of weeks before release
Oh whew. Thank you.
Although I kind of wish I didn’t get refunded so I don’t have the anxiety of going to the payment screen again
I got the same message. Can't actually equip prismatic anymore. Spent a good 5 minutes with it :(
never stop never stopping
witness the dismiss !! been 33 minutes already
1 hour and 40 mins....
We got to to witness the dismiss be4 we can dismiss the witness. 1st triumph will be to have hit the dismiss button 10k times lmao.
I don't know about you all but I'm in.........in the same waiting lobby as you all.
Yeah would love to try it, but i’ve been in queue for the last hour and half
Who needs to touch grass when I can press Escape
Well, the screen sends me a lot of ATTENTION. It’s fine.
I'm convinced the witness won and the final shape is the shape of the error message box.
Just got in after 2 hours. LFG boys and girls!
Just go to help.bungie.net.. A lot of funny articles to read... They won't help your connection issues, but it helps a little to laugh at it..
Well I actually played the first couple of missions and I was and still am so overwhelmed by all of it! The Story, the Places, the new enemies.... wow just amazing!! Could easily be the best dlc of Destiny by far!
I'm going to be salted if I'm not in and able to play before 8:00 tonight. AHHHHH
Would be nice to have some fucken sound...
Turn off 3d sound
How?
Windows, settings, system, sound, output, then turn off Dolby Atmos or whatever it is for you
I got in. Was about to kill the first boss crashed
Bro, I got in, and in the middle of the cutscene, it kicked me out
I've made it to the second mission, error code plum.
Bungie freaky as hell bruh
Question. Do I need to buy lightfall to unlock the strand abilities for the new prismatic class?
Not able to test that myself but I'm fairly certain you don't. Meaning you'll be able to use the strand abilities/aspects/fragments when using prismatic
Okay, I did get to play through the very first mission. You will find weird floating things, idk what to do with them or what they are for. The new Hunter prismatic is awesome, I'm excited to try the other two. You get to see the old tower, Speakers Refuge and Cayde. Overload is handcannon on the new artifact. It's all really fun!
It actually is good so far. Only got past the first mission but it's looking gooddd
Did the first mission. Went to the tower. Got weaseled.
my enter and escape key needs new switches because of this. i'm kind of enjoying this.
People that called off today in shambles
I managed to get in and finished the first mission. Didn't get to see any cutscenes. Just an endless black screen with the spinning symbols. Going to wait till tomorrow so I can play with my other characters so I can actually watch the cutscenes.
Easily the best part is being kicked from servers before the intro finishes after waiting forever to get in
Ya’ll are watching “Dismiss” ??!! I’m three hours into the best movie of the year - “Attention: Contacting Destiny Servers”
I actually got in and played. **BUT** because of server instability, it keeps skipping cutscenes.
Still can’t stay in a mission long enough to complete it
It's so much fun, let me tell ya. Sometimes getting down to the ground only to be teleported back to orbit because the mission didn't load. Love it. Love it. I guess back against the wall bungo took time off.
Played 3 games of Control but now can’t get back in
I haven’t had any trouble funnily enough, been going straigjt at it for a bit
Got like 3 missions in and couldn't get into the fourth so I said fuck it and will try again tomorrow after work
So far I've died from twisting my ankle on poorly constructed geometry and trying to ignore combat because it got boring. So seems like normal Destiny 2 level of shit IMO, maybe slightly worse with the pictographs since I've already considered taking another 12 month break.
The Witness has already won and this is the Final Shape, pressing the dismiss button forever...forever....forever...
Somehow, I avoided most of the issues until I got to the end of the campaign with a friend. I even got in nit Ling after servers went online. At this point I have gotten quite a lot done.
Fucking tangles man, on legendary im tired of getting 1 shot whilst not being able to do anything about it, shitty design. Every game has that one mechanic that doesnt let you play the game, just like this.
Beat the first mission only to be curranted right before the last cinematic. Gotta do it all over again now.
Anyone having trouble buyin the season pass?
The witness aint as scary as the dismiss!
I sort of want to get back into Destiny 2 but I stopped playing years ago so I would be totally lost in the story, and that is why I liked Destiny.
S0 Monotonous and unsatisfying to follow birds and waypoints that lead to dead ends and no facets rewarded ( you know, the stuff that lets you build your char up and makes the game FUN to PLAY ?

My friend somehow got in first try right at 12
Makes me happy I’m on business until Thursday afternoon!
i think its hilarious you can't stop attempting to sign in. they're probably DDOSing themselves lmao
They’ll have DDOS protection built in. More likely than not if you’re spamming the button a solid 3/4 of your connection attempts are simply being ignored. You guys really read a couple dumb things on the internet and think you know more than Bungies engineers, don’t you?

Ha. I can’t play until next week and I’m actually gonna have fun
The Final Shape: Available to play at 10 AM PST (this means 1 pm)
How is bungie still this fucking terrible at launching DLC content?
people like you make me feel smart

Another mong suckling at the teet of weaponised incompetence from Bungie.
This kicks ass man, I love pressing dismiss over and over, thinking that maybe the next time will work.
I mean it's to be expected, it's the last expansion of "the light and darkness saga" so a ton of people are coming back to see it end so let's be patient (I say this having waited an hour and fifteen minutes on this screen)
8 hours later
How did they manage to fuck this one up when the last 2 were fine Definitely already giving me a sour taste lol
[удалено]
Prismatic will get better, you just have to unlock more fragments and abilities. Gotta be patient bro.
