Destiny 2 players are still experiencing server issues and bugs, impacting PvE and PvP content.
A bug that enabled players to use excessively powerful weapons in Trials of Osiris matches is being addressed by Bungie. The more concerning issue is the impact of a DDoS attack, which is still ongoing.
The server instability is resulting in unresponsive enemy AI, tied matches, disconnects, and various other network issues. It is anticipated that Bungie will be able to promptly rectify these problems.
Destiny 2 players are still facing significant server issues and technical bugs following a recent string of DDoS attacks. This is causing severe disruptions to the extensive PvE and PvP content in the game. Players have been consistently reporting problems such as unresponsive enemy AI, tied Crucible matches, and disconnections during Trials of Osiris weekend.
On September 15, a major bug was discovered in Destiny 2's Deepsight crafting system. This bug allowed players to apply Exotic perks to crafted Legendary weapons, resulting in the use of extremely overpowered weapons in Trials of Osiris matches. Initially, Bungie allowed the community to enjoy this exploit as they worked on a partial fix. However, while working on a subsequent hotfix for Destiny 2, Bungie released an official notice on September 19, revealing that the game's servers had been targeted by a series of DDoS attacks. This has left players disheartened with the current state of Destiny 2, as they continue to encounter issues with in-game content and network connectivity in the sandbox.
The Destiny 2 community continues to face server issues in various game modes, even after almost a week since the DDoS attacks began. Players exploring Neomuna, a destination in Destiny 2: Lightfall, have noticed that enemy AI is unresponsive to gunfire and abilities. Additionally, enemies are seen wandering around and ignoring players, while doors fail to open during instances of network instability. Some players also report the absence of rally flags, preventing them from restocking ammo before public events or dungeon/raid encounters.
In Trials of Osiris, network instability greatly impacts the player's experience, as affected matches result in ties. Furthermore, certain players are getting disconnected from the game when attempting to win a round in Trials of Osiris, leading to a loss being recorded on their passages. As Destiny 2 approaches its second week after the DDoS attacks, Bungie has yet to address the recent cases of server instability.
Despite many of the issues being out of Bungie's control, such as DDoS attacks, the bugs and network problems surrounding Destiny 2 have negatively impacted its reputation. The community is disappointed that technical issues consistently dominate discussions about the game. Therefore, it would be wise for Bungie to prioritize the full functionality of the game servers. Thankfully, Bungie is known for promptly addressing bugs and network problems, indicating that the company is likely working diligently to resolve server issues.
Destiny 2 is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
