Unable to join target player - Local area network consistent problems

My husband and I play Destiny very regularly together, and, obviously, we are in the same house using the same internet connection. We CONSTANTLY receive the "unable to join target player" error message, and from looking around here we are not the only ones. It has nothing to do with our internet connection as my husband works in IT and can verify that everything is working as it should, not to mention we play several other multiplayer games together that have ZERO issues (Overwatch, PvZ, Battlefront, Titanfall, Halo - literally NONE of these have problems with us playing in the same lobby/fireteam). Destiny is the only game to give us this error, and it happens literally EVERY time we boot up the game. The only way we get around it is waiting it out, and trying over and over again until we want to rip our hair out. This is ridiculous and I want Bungie to fix this. This error never popped up for us until Rise of Iron. I understand nothing anyone in the forums can say will help as it is clearly Bungie's error, I'm just hoping that if enough people make it known that this is still an issue that they will get more eyes on it and correct it.

  • I couldn't agree more Selphie, I love Destiny. If I'm being honest, which no one cares (i get it), I freakin love this game (I'm dumb thanks, I know, and that doesn't make it better either). I use to have friends come over and compete in Trials but, to address the elephant in the room (Fat *ss elephant mind you) since Rise of Iron we can only join 2 people at a time and that's a fiasco to put it nicely (very nicely Bungie cause it sucks not being able to play games the way you guys have intended for us to play them, ya know, together). There is a work around I have found that allows us to connect with one another involving going to the tower, disconnecting your internet, connecting it, then trying to join your desired teammate again but, c'mon, does that even sound appealing, it reminds me of Joey Salads Bungie...e.g. he's hard to stomach just like this issue (e.g. for example, if you don't know what e.g. means). This workaround only allows us to join 2 on the same network which brings me full circle Bungie...We should be able to join each other on the same network freely like we used to be able to, this (defecation) is causing people unnecessary frustration who ultimately just want to play your game with people they want to. Eyes up Bungie, this one is worth your time.
