I get the same issue from time to time. While it may seem minor when compared some of the core mechanic complaints, I think it’s just another clear indicator of the poor state this game is in. Obviously, I have no idea what the root cause is or what it would take to fix it, but the fact that Bungie has only responded with work arounds indicates that this isn’t going to be fixed anytime soon. Fast traveling in the tower will sometime fix it because it puts you in another Tower instance. Not sure if fast traveling while in a fire team works because I never have any friends to play with anymore. I suspect that this issue occurs when the tower player count is maxed out. It’s similar to when you fast travel on a planet and end up shadowing another player in that location for a bit before spawning in. If this is the case, it would seem that even basic checks used in D1 to ensure locations couldn’t become overpopulated are yet another mechanic that was left behind. Issues like this would exist in the very core of the games engine. It’s entirely possible that D2 is even more of a disaster than any of us realize.
