Bungie uses Valve’s SDR service https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay

That is used to connect player to player, but they do have a connection made directly to their own infrastructure. Whoever is doing this has a lot of knowledge on Bungie’s D2 network.

I'd been getting the itch to get back to playing Elden Ring, so I guess I'm going to keep doing that until things blow over, I suppose.

But man are there no good somber options for pure strength weapons, I am going to be hungry for regular stones.

Didn't they reduce how many stones you need because of the ludicrous requirements at launch? It still sucks I guess but better than nothing

Also wow that sucks someone got real buttmad about the glitch guns huh? Also Bungo should really stop reporting solely on the lunatic billionaire shitpost site lol

e: While the servers are dead btw I still love this:

quote:

"Now I have tried to put an Ascendant in orbit of a black hole while its spawn gather the tribute of an eon. But the worm is not satisfied, for it sees the trick. What I must do is amplify the speed at which tribute is gathered. A pocket world where time passes quickly would do well. Or a world where time is a torus and infinite violence might be gathered. With such a murder battery, I could become a being of supreme insight."

The Thrall indicated it was confused, but not lost.

"With this tribute, I shall undertake a mighty work. A real humdinger of a scheme. I'm going to refinance my entire existence. I'm going to move from an existential economy based on the accumulation of violence to an existential economy based on the accumulation of secrets and the tribute of failing-to-understand-me. I shall name this tribute of failing-to-understand IMBARU, for it shall be as formless as the mist."

Why would you believe they're 1) DDOSing themselves 2) would share that they're being DDOS'd if they were doing it to themselves.

I say this cause of how there's been completely unhinged fans who sent such severe death threats to the devs that serious legal action happened. I 100% believe someone is DDOSing them over some stupid petty bullshit.

Destiny players have habitually put up with anything and everything they've been subjected to. We stamp our feet and whine but we also just deal with it.

That's the biggest flaw in the idea, is that Bungie could just say "no servers for three days, you've been naughty" and we'd harumph but deal with it. You don't need to make excuses when your playerbase puts up with anything regardless :v:

It is a huge reach to claim that tweet is 100% fabricated

Is it just me or is there a new bug in the nightfall where the deathtongue activates way too early? Normally it triggers when someone jumps down to the heavy ammo chest, but more than once this week I've had it trigger when we're still up top dealing with the first guys in that room and the battle hymn is in effect before anyone can even get line of sight to it. And when you do go down there, you see that the enemy hasn't even run over to the totem, it just spontaneously activated
The people I was running it with over the weekend said that entire group there including the deathsinger will aggro from gunfire, so you have to be careful not to let stray shots hit any of the enemies past where the ogres are.

I thought that sounded familiar - remember though that this pasage is several falsehoods deep into the truth to power book, so this is not necessarily true or something that actually happened any more than Quaria playing football in the tower with Master Rahool.

Also try not to think about that book too much or her plan to escape into the real world will have worked.

The best jokes have a grain of truth to them. Guitar errors wreaked havoc on Vow of the Disciple because every player was flooding the server with updates on Objects like sparrows, glimmer, orbs, ammo etc
