    Can't wait for Rise Of Iron, almost at 100 days playtime now on destiny and it has certainly slowed down my achievement hunting by a huge amount.

    Yeah can't wait for this! I'm actually really excited for both the PVE and PVP content. But knowing Destiny, it'll probably get stale a week or two after hard mode for the raid drops. Luckily there will be some great comes coming out around that time.

    I've recently started playing Destiny and honestly can say that this game is pretty much unplayable. Can't connect to servers constantly, game freezes repeatedly as well forcing me to restart game. I get it, there's probably a lot of people playing it now with new expansion getting to drop, but if you're forcing your customers to be connected to your servers to play the game but your servers can't handle the number of players that are on?! Come on Bungie! Me paying money for your broken mess of a game means I will not be buying your next game and repeating this mistake.

    I haven't been having any problems playing on the One. What system are you on?

    I've been playing the past month regularly and have had no problems except one time I got disconnected going to The Tower for like 5 seconds and had to set destination again. I thought it's been playing extremely well & can always get into matches.
    60% of the time, it works everytime.

    I'd say this isn't common for most users.

    I don't agree that it's a broken mess of a game. It's a solid 3 out of 5 game with occasionally brilliant moments in my opinion. As for your experience, that doesn't mirror mine at all. I have no trouble accessing or playing the game, regardless of the time of day or day of the week.

    Perhaps your router has a problem, or local internet. I used to get kicked out of BF4, Destiny and GTA V constantly after switching from a Sky to a BT router. Once I replaced the BT router I've basically had 99% accessibility to all of my multiplayer games.

    3000+ hours played here and in the past months / weeks I haven't had any problems like this, neither do any of the people I play with (who play just as much as me). All I can think of that it's a connection issue on your side, not Bungie.

    Edit: You've only played this game for 4 hours... you honestly cannot judge the game after such a short period of time.
    I know what you did last summer...

    Oh good, another fake reason to jump on the bandwago of not liking the game.

    I love it when people make things up to try to prove a point that actually isn't there.

    Destiny is definitely a game to play with friends or make new friends to play with. So if you jump solo in that game it won't be as much fun. And like others said check your router/network/connection settings. Also if if you started the game recently try for the refer a friend quest, that will take you through some game modes with a partner and make it fun while getting some exclusive items/weapons(sword).

    (EDIT) BTW: Any words on achievements? (and for the quest its only on xbox one/PS4 and you'll need Taken King.)

    I have some connection issues myself, but mostly when going to the Tower or the other social hub (it lags, thanks to my less-than-fast internet speed). Otherwise the game runs pretty great. It's not a great game, but for the measly amount of €13 (retail copy including The Taken King) I won't complain.

    (Except maybe about the buggy achievement handling, but since the workaround fixes that, it's okay.)

    I think rise of iron will be amazing but then again coming from someone who only plays Destiny, lol.

    This expansion can't come soon enough for me! Need more content in Destiny!
