Destiny 2 Episode 3: Heresy launched today, February 4, but the legitimately promising new not-season was waylaid by a spike in stability issues that spiraled into full-blown emergency maintenance and downtime.
At 2:20pm ET, the official Bungie Help account confirmed that, "as part of the investigation into today's server and stability issue, we will be bringing Destiny 2 offline shortly for maintenance." The most recent update, at 3:13pm ET, confirms that "we are bringing Destiny 2 back online. Players may be placed into a queue while we continue our investigation." I can smell the servers sizzling now.
