I have now been waiting 7 days to play. I have a tapir error on the xbox one, and a chicken error on the 360. I have been playing for the past 2 years and have thousands of hours invested in the game.Besides that I cannot use bungie.net for much since I am tied to a legacy console. I have posted a number of times about this issue.
Here is the bottom line, as of May 2016, Destiny had about 30 million registered users. A few thousand of us who can't play is no big deal. We have already invested in an xbox one, probably 2 copies of Destiny through the taken king, and will soon plunk down another $30.00 U.S. to play the next dlc.
This is not going to be fixed until the maintenance window on Thursday. There is no reason for Bungie to make any effort to fix it before then. Nor will there be any announcement about what the problem was or even that it wont be fixed until tomorrow's maintenance. There will be something like, "Issues keeping some players from logging on to Destiny are subsiding, thanks for your patience." Maybe.
If they tell you it won't be until tomorrow, maybe you will play something else instead of checking every hour if the game has been fixed. You might play the beta of Battlefield 1, which works really well and is a lot of fun. Or the free Forza Horizon game, that works really well and is a lot of fun.
Bungie has demonstrated that they have no respect for its players, so get over it. Go do something else, come back Thursday evening after the maintenance and hope your game works.
As for me, I will probably still play Destiny. But I must say the the enjoyment of the game will never be the same. I also will not spend an additional dollar on anything Bungie has to sell. That's all I can do is not financially support Bungie any more than is necessary to play the game. Not a penny more. I won't be watching twitch streams, or anything else Destiny might publish or put on the net. Micro transactions, not a chance. Destiny store, nope.
And as for Destiny 2. Not excited at all. I really don't like the way I and the rest of the Destiny community have been treated.
So, if you are unhappy as a Destiny player, the only avenue you have to display your disappointment is with your wallet. Think about it.

That was inspirational :)

Well put, I agree with you. I was also thinking how they're ignoring us because we're such a small fraction of the equation. They already got our money. A straight answer could diffuse this situation.

Yet when they fix it everyone who did posts like this will keep on playing and will buy Rise of Iron

I'm so glad to see a like minded individual. I wrote on this topic before when they decided to do maintenance and have server errors during an iron banner as well as the dreaded super download that forces you to redownload a 19gb file you already had (A persistent problem every time they do a patch or update! Yet still hasn't been properly addressed or fixed!) They keep spouting a 10 year plan yet won't try do the basics to be upfront and square with us customers. So I put down my Ghost and can't in good conscience pay another cent to a company that so clearly has little to no respect for our time, patience or intelligence. Gamers are your lifeblood but we have no obligation to buy or put up with your crap Bungie and if we all put down the controller and boycott you, what will you do with your 10 year plan then? We need to make a statement as gamers and stop being played by these sanctimonious callous money grubbers! Sad thing is Destiny could be the greatest game ever but Bungie is standing in its own damn way! Pathetic!!

Wow, brilliant. I bought xbox one last Sunday, got home and loaded the Destiny in and sat back and waited and waited and waited some more. Destiny just kept coming up with TAPIR, seems funny all my other games from 360 transferred perfectly, but not Bungles offering. How long does it take to sort this out, if so many Bungle customers are affected??? Can they afford to lose so much revenue if we, the game players get fed up of their lack of commitment to their customers?? I'll give it 'till Friday and see if Bungle have cured the TAPIR problem.... Your response is brill................
