You're probably already aware of this by now, but PlayStation Network is down. Again.
This is posing a particular problem for Destiny as much of its gameplay is relient on being online and connected to the servers. Raids, Crucible, Strikes are all dependent on being connected and without PSN, well, players are a little out of luck.
While some of you have probably already put one and one together, the PSN issues are having an impact on Destiny. Bungie has responded to the situation, telling fans they are "aware of and investigating" the issues preventing "some players" from signing in on PS4 and PS3.

It's unclear how widespread the problem is, as some have said PSN is working fine for them, but even Sony has acknowledged there is a problem. You'd think paying for PlayStation Plus now would result in less problems for PSN.
