I agree. But there's a problem doing it. Basically, Bungie can't post the info here because they seem to have integrated their forum .net domain with their servers that also run the game; I assume because of the app functionality. So when the game is down, the forums are down, and they have to rely on 3rd party apps. Having said that, you can still read the forums during said updates even if you can't post. It would seem to me a viable solution would be to pin the info as the top post before it goes down, but what do I know? I dont work there and its all based on speculation to begin with. Just trying to connect the dots based on my experience and what limited info is floating around out there.

I keep seeing posts like this. Y'all realize that they list all the updates & information that Bungie Help posts on twitter in the HELP section, right? All scheduled maintenance, upcoming updates, known issues, etc. If you want the inside baseball, or second by second updates - then y'all probably have to use socials. But that is no different from another company & not unreasonable. Even news outlets post updates on social media before their websites get updated. It's just the nature of the modern world. If you're dedicated to staying with legacy media &/or archaic mediums of information transfer - then it'll come at the cost of that information being delayed & being delivered in a time frame associated with that form of media. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/263030519?sort=0&page=0 https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049199271-Destiny-Server-and-Update-Status?_ga=2.8748981.1012781487.1689777719-1186983783.1683230732

Every single platform they host this game on has functionality that let you send downtime message freely, and almost every live service with less than a quarter d2's budget does so because it's cost free and it's necessary by logic, there's no justification on not letting your players know when the server is down from the place they actually play Sadly unlike Twitter, ordinary platforms don't encourage bots, and will give the CMs a hard time pushing brain dead memes and single mom jokes, those are all I see under Bungie help's tweets

They've already said they're working on something else (possibly in-game mail system) [quote] downtime for the game[/quote] Scheduled downtime is always listed here: https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049199271-Destiny-Server-and-Update-Status

But it is. Make an account. It's free. ThIs Is So WrOnG. The childish melodrama. It takes two minutes to make an account, and you can do so with the express purpose of following ONE account and never see anything else. The amount of incessant whining around this is ridiculous.

There is literally a banner at the bottom of the page on Bungie.net. It tells you that there is a service alert. You can also type - site:twitter.com "@BungieHelp" into google and see all their tweets. If you filter by month, it will show you most recent ones, to latest posted ones.
