The development team at Bungie is currently very busy. Many players are complaining about connection issues and error codes in Destiny 2, which are preventing them from playing. In a statement, Bungie clarifies what is behind this.
What struggle does Bungie currently have to fight?
- An extreme exploit allowed players to equip legendary weapons with exotic perks
- This allowed weapons to be fired in rapid succession, leading to immense damage against enemies
- Bungie did not plan a rollback for the exploit, but first wishes the fans “a lot of fun” with it
- The development team did pull the plug and announced a fix
- Currently, players are struggling with error codes and connection issues that are not related to the exploit
After yesterday’s maintenance, several error messages suddenly appeared for many players. The fans assumed that the error codes and connection issues were caused by the last patch. But Bungie has now clarified that something completely different is behind it.
The translated statement from English reads as follows:
In recent days, we have observed an increase in error codes and connection issues. The team has confirmed that these error codes are not related to the planned fixes for the recently occurred crafting issue, but are the result of DDoS attacks. Although we usually do not confirm this kind of attack and do not intend to do so in the future for reasons of general game security, we believe it is right to communicate the additional stress on our systems given the recent circumstances to our players.
We would like to thank our players for their patience as our teams work diligently to ensure the integrity of the game and continue to implement our roadmap for future stability improvements.
Statement from Bungie on twitter.com
The development team has thus struggled with hacker attacks in recent days. Normally, Bungie would not make such DDoS attacks public. However, due to recent events, the team decided to inform the players about it.
The players hope that such problems are not part of “The Final Shape”:
“Thank you for letting us know”
Due to the many problems Destiny 2 is currently facing, many players could be upset. However, in the comments, it becomes clear that many users understand Bungie’s situation.
The community is grateful that Bungie has decided to make the hacker attacks public. We have selected some voices for you so that you can get a rough idea of how players are reacting to the situation:
- Iiizwerg: “Please what, this is crazy. Thank you for the communication.”
- AD2P_Twitch: “It’s a shame that some people feel the need to ruin it for everyone else! Thanks for the transparency regarding the recent DDoS attacks you faced! Take the time you need to get the issue under control, we’ll all still be here to log in and grind again!!!”
- NewEra7Official: “On top of the crafting exploit, this is a hell of a weekend for you.”
There are sporadic comments where players still complain about the situation. The community advises these users to take a break from the game and wait until Bungie gets the situation under control. When that will be the case is currently unfortunately unpredictable.
As if Bungie didn’t have enough problems, there is also a lawsuit against a cheat manufacturer: Cheat manufacturer announces offensive against Destiny 2, sees “the day of reckoning” coming
