There is an awsome post on the update section by a guy ranting that bungie have shut destiny to take time to fix the new halo master chief game, he really goes at bungie hammer and tongs, it's a real shame that bungie had sod all to do with the halo franchise now. I believe it qualifies as an epic fail. Cheered me up no end.

Previous buffs haven't required server downtime so probably not that. I suspect the servers are down because they're getting ready to deploy fixes for the zoo errors like they promised (I'll be glad not to see any more zebras lions or bees). Hopefully we'll get a few buffs at the same time, might even encourage me to finish my thorn bounty but having said that I've just splashed out on TDYK so might just abandon it!
