[2024] So is it fair to say Dawnings completely fucked at this point

Pulling from a message DMG shared with players yesterday:

Hey all,

Not going to lie, it's been a rough couple of days. The Dawning didn't kick off on the high note that we intended it to. We always want our end of year event to bring joy, relaxation, and loot to Destiny 2 during the quieter weeks of the year. This year, we're fully aware that we've missed the quality bar during the start of the event.

It's an absolute bummer that many of these bugs shipped, and as you've seen, the team is hard at work addressing the problems and unblocking you from the rewards you're hunting for. They're eager to get things back on track so you can bake some goods for your favorite vendors as we head into the new year without worry.

Overall, we're fully aware of the general conversation around bugs and quality. Whether it be around the Dawning, Episodic content, general Destiny 2 activities, or other, we're continuing to assess how our development processes can result in gameplay issues. Your feedback is felt when we play the game, it's felt when we're discussing issues in our triage sessions, and it's felt when we're talking through high level strategies for Destiny and our future all up. Where are we now, where are we going, what are our priorities, and where do we want to be?

While we're going into a holiday period, we have work on our plate to reinvigorate the desire to play Destiny. We'll need to re-earn your trust, not just for our future, but our studio as a whole.

We have work to do. We always do - and we'll always strive to do our best. For our studio, and for you - our community.

Much love.
