8. Stable Servers

Weasel. Blackbird. Chipmunk. Centipede.

Bungie has no shortage of names it uses to label the various error codes responsible for rejecting Guardians from Destiny's servers, but while the cause of each one is usually explained away by a brief summary, it makes their frequency no less frustrating.

Given how popular it has grown to be over the last three years, the fact that the shooter all too often feels like it's being powered by potatoes rather than a monstrous server farm is, in this day and age, simply not acceptable.

A massive step in the right direction would be for Bungie to ditch the peer-to-peer connection model and instead adopt dedicated servers. If nothing else, it would near-singlehandedly eliminate the lame practice of forcibly ejecting players from the server by way of DDoS attacks - a problem that's plagued Trials of Osiris players for too long.

And please, for the love of all that is holy, do not let Rise of Iron's ugly launch day repeat itself with Destiny 2.
