Weird NAT Type error. What is this?

So, when I boot up Destiny, first of all it takes ages to connect since a few days. Then, if I select my guardian and it goes to the Orbit, it says something like "You have NAT type 3 which is bad". Also often I can't even connect to a PVP match. The thing is: I don't have NAT type 3 and never had it.

Either way if it IS server load related I cringe at the thought of what's gonna happen when TTK lands.

  • Apparently, others are suddenly having the problem for the first time today, too. Never happened before, but I had it for the first time this evening (Wednesday) when i logged into destiny on PS4. I thought it was my wifi being a pain, so nice to know I'm not the only one - a strict NAT 3 usually means you won't be able to talk or hear others online, though I haven't been able to test that tonight So after playing destiny after all this time, I don't know why it's suddenly changed overnight
