Destiny 2 Goes Down the Second Time This Weekend, as Another Round of Maintenance Hits on July 19
It seems there’s something bugging Destiny 2, as the servers are down again on July 19 for another round of maintenance. For those keeping score, this is the second downtime this weekend, and the third in a seven-day span.
Compared to yesterday’s downtime, there is no planned update to be released, but logging will be affected. If you can’t log in, this is the reason why.
Destiny 2’s Second Downtime This Weekend Hits on July 19
The scheduled downtime for today is as follows according to Bungie:
- Downtime Start: 10 am ET/7 am PT
- Downtime End: 11 am ET/8 am PT
- Maintenance End: 9 am
There is no mention of an update releasing today, and given the issues with the servers, do not be surprised if maintenance is extended. If it is, expect us to update the article with the info.
With yesterday’s maintenance, Bungie pushed an update out, and it included the following fixes:
Activities
Campaign
The Edge of Fate
- Fixed an issue where players playing the campaign with a different character could lead to a softlock.
The Portal
- Encore: Reduced the amount of Scored Engrams from 4 to 3.
- Additionally, the chance of awarding Bonus Focus and Bonus Drops have been lowered to 66%.
- Due to an issue, Grandmaster difficulty tiers have been disabled in all activities.
- They will be re-enabled in an upcoming update.
Gameplay and Investment
Armor
Set Bonuses
- Fixed an issue where the Unfaltering Focus Set Bonus perk and <REDACTED> set bonus perk from The Desert Perpetual could block other perk activations.
The Portal
- Bonus Drops from Portal activities improved to have a chance of being +1 Power when between 300 and 400 Power.
Currencies and Materials
- Fixed an issue where Unstable Cores could be wiped when creating a new character.
Platforms and Systems
- Fixed some audio issues that could lead to a crash on Xbox systems.
If another update is rolled out today, expect it posted on MP1st ASAP.
