Xbox Live friends system down? (X1)

The reliability of Xbox Live services isn't measured in multiple 9s thats for sure. I've had an XOne since July and every month some aspect of the service (of the 5 they list on the status site) has been down.

Not sure if it's related, but I couldn't play Destiny last night. It would load up, taking longer than normal. I would login with my character and load to space. Then it would either never load or would load into, say the Tower, but then I would be pulled back out with an error about connecting to Destiny's servers. Checked NAT and it was open, with an error on Xbox Live Friends & Multiplayer.
 

Man, you're trying pretty hard there. Some of those threads are literally about something not working right for 20 minutes.

Edit: also funny seeing you turn up in some of those threads to offer some troll comment. Do you have an XB1?

I'm honestly surprised it still isn't working. I don't remember the last I experienced such a long problem with xbl personally.

Yeah. I'm a little shocked at this point. It's been 24 hours for me. Funny enough I was thinking of buying Advanced Warfare on XB1 because of the issues PSN has been having, now I'm not sure what the hell to do.

I'm surprised it's still down too. I wonder what the deal is. Maybe it's some kind of server side thing before the October update goes live?

Have any reps come out and offered an explanation or ETA on when it'll be fixed?

Having difficulties managing your Friends or Profiles? Us too, but we're already working hard to address this issue! We’re grateful for your patience in the meantime, Xbox members. We’ll update you as soon as we have more information.

That's all we have so far I believe.
 
The friends list wasn't working last night but it's working for me right now. Took about 15 seconds to load up but it did come up.

Edit: Friends list on my console is working that is.

Well I know online matches are working fine.

Could be? But I don't think it's likely.

IMO, the October update is a pretty heavy Friends overhaul.

I think this is pre-October update release symptoms.
 
Destiny is down from this? I just played ton FH2 with no issues, including downloading tuning and livery from a friend. But I still can't axxess friends.

Mine's also down, but I was able to play Horizon 2 fine (been playing it all morning).

Was strange though, I logged into my wife's account (on same x1) and her leaderboard worked fine (mine doesn't) and semi-showed her friends list where mine just gave the error box.

This happened to me last night, though my wife was on her own XB1.

I think it's something to do with October dashboard update and Friends tab. It comes on and off for me this whole day, I am not too stressed, but they could handle it in much better way obviously.
 
I was wanting to continue the raid on Destiny tonight with friends and finish it before the reset on Tuesday, but this is looking more and more unlikely...

PBS app on the Xbox 360 has always had issues (for some strange reason). It gives off that message just due to that app alone.

It's very unlike MS to not get this issue resolved within hours...wonder what's going on with LIVE. It's funny, they wanted to have it always online.

Agreed. I still say it has something to do with the October update's heavy friend section changes.

I too bet on the October Update.

Probably we get a post from Major Nelson in the next 12 hours informing us of the rollout and then everything works as it should :)

Yep. This sort of thing has happened before. I have a gaming session scheduled for later. Hopefully Parties are up by then.
 
Mine hasn't been working either since yesterday. Feels like there's already been more XBL issues on the XB1 than in my 8+ years on the 360 combined...
