This may affect gameplay however i was able to play destiny for the release day but not for a moment since. The article seems to be from july judging from the dates of the posts. Also bungie doesn't say to open port 53 (however microsoft does) but that port being blocked doesn't affect anything else that i have noticed. That may be the problem but it is curious that if that is the case only destiny has been affected and at least for me only since the day after release. Also as i understand it all incoming ports are default blocked by your modem/router? If that is true then there is no explaination as to why i could play the first day and not the second as i hadn't bothered to open any ports on the first day because i had no problems and had recently reset the modem/router to factory settings. What do you reckon?
