Bungie, the renowned developer of Destiny 2, has issued a heartfelt apology to the dedicated fans who eagerly awaited the launch of The Final Shape expansion, only to be met with frustrating server issues. The expansion, which hit the shelves on June 4, encountered significant server problems, causing numerous players to struggle through the highly anticipated campaign.
Reports flooded in of players being unceremoniously booted from campaign levels, crucial cutscenes being missed, and hard-earned progress evaporating into thin air. Understandably, the community vented their frustration, resulting in a predictable ‘mostly negative’ user review rating on Steam.

In response to the uproar, Bungie took to Twitter to address the multitude of issues head-on. Expressing their regret, they assured players that they were working tirelessly to rectify the connection problems. Thankfully, progress updates were provided, and many of the initial connection issues were swiftly resolved. Bungie also prioritized fixing the errors that were forcibly ejecting players from activities, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience for all.
Moreover, for those who missed out on pivotal cutscenes, Bungie offered a solution: players could access a Replayable Missions node on the Pale Heart map to relive the moments they may have missed. This gesture was welcomed by the community, alleviating some of the disappointment caused by the technical difficulties.
