Hey guys, this is Steve from HardOCP.com [TL;DR the video shows me in the Tower for 3 hours without a single person showing up. Totally blank servers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iwbm4oJh-c ] I have three characters that are all stuck at level 29 because I can't play longer than 30 - 45 minutes without being kicked to orbit. I can do strikes but at least 50% of the time I get RTO (yeah, I'm that guy) leaving my team mates stranded. VoG is impossible for me because I can't stay connected long enough to even come close to completing it. I've configured my router as Bungie / Xbox.com suggested, port forwarding and even using Googles 8.8.8.8 - 4.4.4.4 public DNS. Bungie tech support actually tracked my system and, after a few days, told me to put everything back to automatic. :( Obviously not being able to stay connected keeps me from reaching level 30 for all three of my characters. No big deal, I'll just farm for materials, trade them for marks to buy gear and break it down. That is really the only option I have of earning marks because I can hardly stay connected. Now, as you all know, level 29 players like me (no raid gear, etc. etc.) are treated like second class citizens...not through any fault of my own. Now, thanks to recent changes, I can't even do that. The odd thing? I live in a large city (Las Vegas) and have a 1Gbps connection at the office and a 150Mbps connection at home. We have taken our consoles (PS4 / Xbox One / Xbox 360) to our friends house, same issue. Long story short, watch the video above, I spent three hours all alone in the Tower, not one single person showed up. Strikes are the same. Mars, Venus, the Moon, Cosmodrome, all empty. This happens to me ALL THE TIME. Not a single person around (not that I could play without getting RTO anyway). Here it is, TDB launching tonight and I am stuck on empty servers half the time I play or I can stay connected. :( Thanks for your time, if anyone knows why I get stuck on empty servers, please let me know. -Steve
