Destiny Maintenance To Take Game Offline For Several Hours,Iron Banner

4.5
Significant server improvements coming to Destiny tomorrow morning means services will be interrupted for several hours, developer Bungie announced in a news post earlier today.

Beginning on October 7 at 7AM Pacific, players will be unable to play the game until maintenance is complete. The down time is warranted, however, as the hot fix being applied “will improve the technology that enables players to connect to Destiny,” says the dev team. Gameplay will remain unchanged, but players should notice fewer connection issues.

Here are the details of the hot fix going live tomorrow:

Client fixes
Added more data logging for matchmaking systems
Improved connectivity failure handling to reduce beaver (Kick To Orbit events) KTOs
Improved logging of player disconnections
Internal tools fixes to speed up our release process
Fixes to the roster system to allow us to tune the frequency of roster updates on Xbox One
Fixed a bug that allowed users to quick scope on some weapons
Server Fixes

Security fixes
Server performance improvements
Fixes to reduce the frequency of some KTOs
Better logging to help diagnose connectivity problems
Fixes to some Centipede errors that were exclusive to specific player characters


As a reminder, Destiny’s Iron Banner Crucible playlist also begins tomorrow and will, of course, likely be affected by the down time. You’ll have plenty of time to participate and earn special Gear, Emblems, Shaders, and Ships, however, as the playlist will be sticking around until October 14.



For those don’t remember, the Iron Banner takes your weapon and gear stats a little more seriously, so you’ll want to bring your best equipment into the Crucible. You’ll be able to visit Lord Saladin in the same area of the Tower that you found the Queen’s Emissary.

This game is too fun. It is really the only game I play.

I still feel like this game looks horrible, but I'm going to buy it since most of my friends play it, plus I need some new console games tbh. I won;t be surprised if I hate the game though, and if I do, I'll most likely just give it away to someone.

I think people should take a breather and do something productive with this time away from the game, rather than complaining about it on the internet until it comes back up.

Main thing i love about Destiny is they don't mess around like EA, they get the job done and updates as fast as they can.

Hopefully never, I can't think of a single game that was made better by mods.

Good thing I am not home and I was away so when I get back it should all be done and ready but good to see them foxing the bugs for the game shows they still care about the game and I found the disconnecting issue a problem the most so hope they fix that.
