Destiny’s Problems Continue After Iron Banner is Cancelled

After Bungie was forced to cancel Trials of Osiris due to connectivity issues and a major bug that allowed players to earn unlimited rockets, Destiny will now also have to be without the Iron Banner event due to similar issues.

Due to the same issue that prevented players from joining matches in Trials of Osiris, we are also cancelling Iron Banner for this week. — Bungie (@Bungie) June 20, 2016

If you don’t know, Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner are events known as Crucibles. These skirmishes pit the player against other Guardians for additional experience points, Crucible marks, reputation among other factions, or a chance at being rewarded with legendary gear.

Naturally, these events are a huge part of Destiny’s gameplay, and for players that have reached the endgame these Crucibles are often the sole incentive for their continued investment. Though Bungie has cancelled other events such as Trials of Osiris numerous times in the past, they never went as far as taking it down while the event was still taking place. Now with the Iron Banner, Bungie will be busy hammering out all the glitches and bugs for what amounts to two cancelled events in the same week.

For now, players will have to defer to the other events available to them until the bugs in Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris are fixed. Hopefully these issues will be remedied in the following week.

Stay tuned for more updates on Destiny.
