One of the many complaints that players have had since the launch of Destiny is the the long loading time involved with having to go to orbit prior to picking a new location to travel to. Many players have asked for a “Go To Tower” option to replace this so that they can instantaneously go from activities in the world to the Tower. One post on Reddit may actually give a very good explanation as to why this system is necessary.
Liana "Hippy" Ruppert, a former Community Manager at Bungie, spoke out about how crunch affected the Destiny 2: The Final Shape DLC.
Crunch+Bad management+Greedy disgusting monetization.
I'll tune back in when D3 is dropping and they've toned down the monetization & the foundation is good
Final Spape campaign getting very positive reviews. I am enjoying the Final Spape campaign myself. Definitely worth the delay.

I wish you could skip cinematic clips
Yeah cinematics not being skippable suck big time! Its absurd we are in 2014 and we cant skip cinematics in this game when back in the 90s they were skippable in many games lol and good amount of games now also let you skip. Wtf decides these bs ideas of not allowing skippable scenes!!!!
The load times dont feel bad to me when in orbit but hey thats just me. Faster is definitely better tho.
Make sense, but goodness I thought going to the tower to then go to the orbit to choose my destination was a stupid idea, seeing that there is a ship hanger in/at the tower and to me it would make more sense to choose the destination from then and there, instead having to goto said orbit to do so.
The article is just saying that all of the network setup like matchmaking, data syncing and server connection is done in the background as well as loading the location you are going to.
I actually assumed this was the case and didn't realise that it wasn't apparent to a lot of people. When did they think it was doing all of those other things? It simply doesn't have all of those different screens that you get in other games. I'm assuming that is to make things seamless. It still needs to do all of the usual thinks i.e. search for a lobby, sync data, find other players and connect. It just doesn't express that.
'cos the cutscenes are so light on story it just reminds me of when i cannot skip the first 5 to 10 mins of a porn movie.
