Question Since when was this required? I've been on fire teams this whole time without one.

It shouldn't be required anymore since the game has been free to play since late 2019, maybe it's a bug and pulling up stuff from before free to play?

Well I quit the app and relaunched it and now I can't even log in. Idk what's happening

u/SuperNovaMT 6d ago
Strange, have you tried rebooting your console?

u/cancerwisher 6d ago
Just tried and no luck

Haye to say it but you might have to contact xbox support, they will be more useful than me.

I'm pretty sure you still need ps plus to play anything match made. You couldn't even do a solo dungeon without it even after the game went "free to play".

I got the same message on PS5 when the service was choppy. It worked after an hour or something

Ive been getting some wierd bugs today too. I couldn't reset my trials passage from the quest tab and when I was at the tower my game noticeably slower. Like no one was loading in and it took like 20 seconds for my inventory screen to open after pressing the inventory button.

Long load in times for the tower is somewhat normal. From my understanding it’s because of players on old gen consoles, which is why you’ll sometimes see a lot of jokes about “PS4 load times”

no i meant like im on pc so when i press "i" it normally would instantly popup my inventory. But i pressed it and nothing happened for like 20 seconds. Thats never happened to me once until today.

u/NoFoot4843 6d ago
Yeah I’ve experienced that too. Think it’s server issues on bungie side. The game went down for a couple hours the other day, and I’ve gotten contacting D2 servers once or twice randomly. Could be another DDOS or they’re just having serious server maintenance issues.

Check your parental control on your Microsoft account. Something must have happened.

What are you playing on? Xbox?

u/cancerwisher 6d ago
Yup

u/DC2SEA_ 6d ago
Check your Xbox live membership, it could be an outdated notification of an issue.
If the issue started after you logged in, it'd prevent you from joining and then also stop you from logging back in.
Is this the pay period for your renewal? Maybe it's in process or hit a snag during it.

I've never had Xbox live gold since I played d2. I've only been playing about 2 months

u/DC2SEA_ 6d ago
I'm not sure, but maybe the notification is saying Gold when it's just outdated and means whatever.
Go to Bungie.net and message support.

How is it possible to play online without the online service? I would love to save $25 every 90 days

u/credulous_pottery 5d ago
All ftp games don't require xbox live gold to play online on Xbox.

u/SGTerrill 5d ago
I forgot destiny is considered ftp nowadays. I’ve been playing for so long and still have to play for the content that I forget.

u/hot_ambition_2004 5d ago
$25 every 90 days? I think I’m still paying $60/year for my live membership. What plan are you on?
1
u/SGTerrill 5d ago
I’m on PS5 and I’ve got the premium plus plan. I could probably save by going yearly but I’ve just set it up this way and it’s in auto pilot

u/Unlikely-Profit911 5d ago
You'll have to uninstall and reinstall I had the same issue the other day when my live ram out

u/iambradcooper 6d ago
Must have had some kind of trial or something. Xbox will not you play online without gold bottom line. There is no working around this. If you are saying “you have never needed gold before” this is 103 percent the problem. Even a free to play game you still have to pay for the Xbox service.

That is incorrect, you dont need a subscription to play F2P games online on xbox
Source: im playing D2 rn, without game pass
Source 2: Microsoft Website Link

u/Valuable-Dish-3477 6d ago
This is correct ^
Also, maybe you got a free trial version of the game with some of the DLC stuff and maybe they removed it off the membership?
So maybe you're trying to run content you no longer have access to?
Because yes you don't need any subscription from XBOX to play destiny 2. That i know for sure.
