Next week, Bungie will conduct long maintenance work on Destiny. Additionally, the queues will be reintroduced.
Bungie announces extensive maintenance including server downtime. This is intended to prepare for the “Destiny 2” beta, which starts in mid-July.
If you were planning to play Destiny extensively next Tuesday, you should definitely find a different way to spend your evening:
- On Tuesday, June 27, maintenance begins at 4 PM.
- The maintenance work will last until 1 AM.
- During this time, the Destiny servers will be taken offline. You will not be able to log in.
Additionally, Bungie is working on Bungie.net and the Companion app. Some features will be unavailable.
Destiny Servers – Queues are active again
Bungie has already made further preparations for Destiny 2 and the beta: The queues for the Destiny servers have been activated. If the number of players exceeds the capacity of the data center, you will be placed in a queue upon login.
The last time numerous players complained about being stuck in a queue was during the launch of “The Taken King”.
A possible queue placement only occurs at login. If you are already logged in, you can enter any activity without having to wait again.
Bungie expects that you could be placed in the queue during the Destiny 2 beta and in the days after launch – during times of high activity.
In the coming weeks, more information will be announced.
