It's a steam thing. Sometimes it just breaks while downloading stuff. I sometimes get it where stuff stays in my download list forever with 0 to download, or stuck updating workshop content. Steam has always been like that, honestly I wish they'd nail down and fix those niggling little download bugs over a library UI update.
It doesn't matter because the servers are still down or at least Bungie hasn't said anything about bringing them back up from maintenance.
I know, but at the same time i cant help but wonder how the hell this guy is playing https://www.twitch.tv/sloot
Piss off the folks who bought the expansion, give the new players who just wanted to test the waters for the first time a bad taste in their mouths...yep, no reason for a staggered release...no one saw this clusterfuck coming from a mile away (besides, well, anyone who actually gave it the tiniest bit of thought).
I just got to orbit from the character select screen only to be kicked back out immediately.

The Vanguard activities in the director are just a mess now. I don't understand why we need to have 3 different ways to start a strike, one of which has 4 difficulty modifiers but no playlist selection, one of which is the weekly Nightfall playlist with NO difficulty selection (will 5 of Swords modifiers still work on those?) and then the plain Strikes. They should have taken this opportunity to just make a single Strike node with difficulty modifiers that range from regular Strikes up through the highest tier of the new Ordeal modifiers. It really just speaks to how haphazardly Bungie maintains legacy content in this game, and how duct-taped together so many components of it are. They can't even decide on a standard naming scheme for difficulty tiers: Adventures and story missions have regular vs Heroic, Leviathan raids have regular vs Prestige, Y2 raids have nothing, and now Ordeal Nightfalls have Adept, Hero, Legend, Master. I don't mind them redoing these types of things to tweek the experience as the game evolves, but they need to devote the resources to go back and make the old stuff consistent. As it is, new players are going to have no sense that Master is really the same as Prestige or Heroric (if they even are, relative to each other). They need to just decide on one scale (Novice, Adept, Hero, Legend, Master) and apply it across the board, and then make matchmaking available at the lower ends of the tier but not the higher ones.

The fuck, yea that is bizarre.
But still it's probably not worth staying awake unless you're being paid to be part of the day 1 raid or something.
I needed to hear that, thanks.
Night guys.
The REAL Shadowkeep day is tomorrow.
599 > servers offline > retry > 599 > servers offline
Its all fucked peeps
Yeah it's not even really worth trying until they say the emergency maintenance is over (it's not)
I should have stayed home.
I would at least have gotten some play time before everything went to shit.

Man this is SUCH a complicated launch - I think it's a good idea to cut Bungie some slack here. Changing to Steam, cross saves, expansion, etc. This isn't just a PC update - it's a complete replatforming.
I assumed Bungie would be ready for the influx.
I was very wrong. You win.
The Steam preload experience for this was not great, so I just uninstalled it to do a normal download assuming I won't need a ton more space to unpack the game.
Seconding this; it's always easy to tell the people who don't work in IT with how they react to the notion that nothing should or will ever go wrong on large scale deployments, and questioning why issues weren't anticipated. No amount of QA and testing can ever compare to having hundreds of thousands of people bang at every nook and cranny of your software at launch.
Nah, that's mostly incorrect. Most is done with scalable cloud solutions. Relying on barebone only servers is like 2012
