I’ll see you guys next week, I guess. I’m not doing another week without DIM. Hopefully they put out the server fires, though.

We will be temporarily disabling the Destiny API for maintenance. During this time a number of web, mobile, and 3rd-party app features will not be available.

Please stay tuned for future updates.

Since the release of Revision Zero, the team has been monitoring a rise in error codes. A bug deep in the way that the new exotic was set up is causing some pretty gnarly game/API issues, resulting in full server crashes (which boots hundreds of people at a given time).

This could also result in the final moments before an error not being recorded leading to reports of a triumph not being honored or a drop being lost.

In the last couple days, the team has gotten closer to identifying the root issue, but we were faced with a few options.

1: Disable new exotic entirely which may not prevent the overall issue.
2: Disable the API which will make transferring weapons a bit more difficult
3: Do nothing while the team continues to investigate a potential fix and continue to watch players hit error codes.

Option 2 felt to be best. While we understand the inconvenience, this not only lets players continue to engage with the new mission and exotic, but also prevents the continued onslaught of errors and missing item reports.

It's always tricky when triaging issues like this, especially during the holiday period, but we feel we've landed on the best option for players during this time.

Team is looking to provide additional details as they can, so please stay tuned to @BungieHelp for more.

If the new exotic is messing with the servers, it's clearly Telesto being petty

I was planning on giving Destiny 2 one more big'ol play this weekend into the New Year. The New Dungeon, organize some raids... I've STILL not done a complete run of Kings Fall, but NOOOOoooOOoo.

Ugh.

That said, cool for dmg04 to give us one more peek behind the curtain and giving reason behind the actions before bowing out. Might be his last, but this kind of communication is always appreciated.

We've implemented a fix that is intended to address multiple connection issues experienced by all players.

This has introduced an unintended issue where there is a visual error on weapons currently being crafted. This is only a visual issue and will be fixed in a future update.
