Heads up, Guardians: Destiny 2 will be down for yet more maintenance later today. Such periods of downtime have become a regular occurrence since the game launched near the start of September, and a lot of players still aren't too happy about the timing -- especially in Europe.
Indeed, here in the Old World, the title's always taken offline at what many would consider prime playing hours, spanning from the afternoon to the evening. Today's no different: Destiny 2 will be down from 09:00 to 12:00 Pacific time, which equates to 17:00 to 21:00 UK time.
Now, this is clearly something Bungie feels it has to do in order to keep the game running smoothly, and that's fine -- Destiny 2 is an online-only experience, after all. But surely this maintenance can be performed at a more thoughtful time? Then again, we suppose you're always screwing someone's plans due to how time zones work.
What are your thoughts on this repeated downtime? Does Bungie need to looking into ways of doing things differently? Perform your own maintenance in the comments section below.

It's annoying, but it's on a day when I'm working this time so I suppose that's at least an improvement. Festival of the lost maybe? Or will that be on the next weekly reset?
According to reddit nobody is playing it anyway haha
Hopefully Destiny 1 isn't down too as got back into that recently
I wonder if all players are connected to the same servers. As in European players being logged in on servers situated in America. That would explain the downtime during European prime playtimes.
If not, it's just a boot to the face for us European players, again, again, again, again.
Downstiny 2
Its unfortunate(again) buy I'm pretty sure they just playing it safe by saying 4 hours the last couple of times after the maintenance a few weeks ago went well over its supposed 2 hours...and keep in mind the most recent maintenance sessions were completed early
@mrobinson91 I'm fairly done with it, nightfalls, raids and pvp only now, I'll have south park to keep me busy this week
This isnt news. Just feeding cry babies.
@Mikethemosher Of course it's news, it's telling people when the game's down. It's got a bit of complaining mixed in, but I think that's more than justified.
Deal with it.
JK!
Given up playing now until new content arrives anyway, no where near enough to do in the endgame. Looking forward to the first Dlc though.
Damnit, was going to play today. Wish we at least knew what exactly they were doing that needs the game to be offline. You'd think they could choose a better time to do it

I honestly don’t care I think it’s great that they work so hard to improve the game further - I just play some other in that time - Horizon Zero Dawn is a good distraction lol
Don't care. Have stopped playing it along with two thirds of the player base. If Bungie want to know what players think they should take a look at Destiny Tracker.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi me too to be honest, I'm fairly happy with the time I've spent with it though. Just gone back to Destiny 1 to tidy up loads of bits I haven't done yet. Might have a crack at some single players games too
