Hype creates mobility – in work and play. A Destiny 2 player overdid it and tried to log in to the yet unopened beta servers 500 times. The head of Destiny 2 feels pity.
Yesterday at 7 PM, the beta servers for Destiny 2 went live. However, the preload had already started earlier.
While most players were gritting their teeth, waiting for Tuesday at 7 PM, one player must have been trying to log in to the beta of Destiny 2 again and again since Saturday.
The fact that the servers were still down and kept throwing the same error message seemed to be irrelevant to the player: Maybe this time he would find a loophole and by some miracle get into the beta before everyone else!
This went so far that even the Game Director of Destiny 2, Luke Smith, noticed and told him before the actual beta start: “To the person who tried to log in to the beta 500 times over the weekend: Soon you will have succeeded. The wait is over.”
When it comes to quotes on the internet, one should be careful because they could all come from a kangaroo, but Albert Einstein is said to have once said: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
It could also be the definition of Destiny 2. In a game where blue items come from purple engrams, and Xur does what he wants, the factor of randomness is so powerful that anything is possible. I’m sure logging in for the 600th time would have worked for sure!
