I'm right there with you. In fact, I'm a step or two passed you... For 5 days now (well, as of noon today) I have been hit by the Vulture error code. I posted in your forums. I even signed up for Twitter so I could reach out to you. for 4 days and 15+ posts in the forums and half a dozen tweets later, I contacted Microsoft to verify that my account was good, and of course, it is! The customer support rep. gave me a phone number to call that was very obviously outsourced and the guy had no idea what I was telling him. He blamed my router's connection to the DHCP! This guy doesn't even know what DHCP is! So, being the fair guy that I am, I went through everything on my router and got myself an Open NAT type while I was in there, and guess what, [b]I STILL GET VULTURE![/b] That's it, I'm done! It's out of my hands. EVERYONE except Bungie has cleared things on my end. My brother can log in on the exact same box on the exact same connection just fine, while I can't on his Xbox, or mine and may I remind you,[b] [u]THE SAME ****ING CONNECTION!!![/u][/b] It is a problem with [u]BUNGIE[/u] and [u]THEIR[/u] servers, [u]NOT MINE![/u] For one reason or another, since the 1.0.3 update, I and only I am unable to go through the "Stabilizing Party" process. I'm done. I'm beyond done. I'm disgusted with Bungie's complete lack of customer support or even willingness to acknowledge that the issue is ongoing. My only customer support has come from Microsoft who have gone above and beyond to help me with a problem that they[u] KNOW[/u] is not their's to solve! Get on it Bungie. Whatever it is you have to do, do it. I'm done.
