Despite the title I will not scoff at the fact bungie engineers spent 23 HOURS YESTERDAY working on the backend issues so huge respect to that. I doubt anyone would be okay with a workload that much, let alone almost a whole day straight of work. Massive respect to the engineers for that.
However it’s really time for a new engine, it’s really starting to become apparent how difficult it is to manage destiny on the tiger engine with the amount of problems being present almost every week. Weapons and armor being disabled for weeks at a time, API being down multiple times in a row, error codes, server lag and not having this resolved or beginning to be resolved before Lightfall isn’t good.
It’s making your community frustrated right now and will continue to do so until something is done about it. It’s a lot easier said than done and I don’t know the first thing about implementing a new engine but something needs to be done bungie.
Edit: I’m no dev with a triple a portfolio or an experienced programmer/engineer, I doubt anyone is on this forum (maybe some people)
Even so, it’s very noticeable how the cracks are starting to become much more apparent, we can’t normalize game breaking issues like we’ve seen this year of content, and for the possibility for them to get worse. We’re not devs and we don’t have answers but we’re simply trying to convey to bungie that the foundation of this game needs to be fixed.

The issue isn’t the engine right now. It’s that Bungie is trying to make too many changes too fast with too inexperienced of a dev team. We are four weeks away from a new expansion dropping, Stadia shutdown last week and we have no idea how that is impacting things, plus Bungie is making massive changes to the game. …and we’re caught in an in-between state right now.
