yes, I'm finding the same only I had 284,000 people in front of me in the queue and have now been booted as it says that the Destiny servers are not available .... marvellous. Want to 
and instead find myself having to 
I got in eventually. I was queuing and got booted but when I tried to queue again, I went straight in - there are quite a few of the usual (back in the day) suspects playing it at the moment
Done the first couple of story missions but that's all, seems pretty good - blue items are all dropping at 330 for me (because my char is still down at 322). Quite a few greens too but that is by design apparently to provide a supply of armour and weapon parts basically

Played for about 4 hours so far, not really grinding it out, just completed the 'main' quest line and done a few faction levels etc, gone from 335 to 341. Vendors sell 350 gear. It's the same slow progress light increase as before so think I need to start doing things that drop legendary engrams to really see some progress.
Story missions done and light went from 322 to a massive 327. Suggestions that engram light drops are bugged though and I've not got a blue drop above 330 despite the notes saying up to 340. Reddit suggests the same about legendaries, capped at 350ish instead of 365. I'm holding on to my purples for now, don't have any exotics

The drops are related to your current light level, they will be only a few points higher than your existing level, then they cap out at the levels you mentioned, I'm at 340 now and all blues are decrypting at 340. I'm hanging onto my 15 saved exotic engrams until I'm up to 350+ level. I squeezed in two hours last night and only did two of the new missions but got my hunter up to 350.
I had a couple of faction rank ups waiting and them all also close to tick over, so I did them all and cashed in bounties to get them over the line again. That got me about 7 new purples. I then chucked some motes into new monarchy for another rank up and decrypted about ten purple engrams I had stored and luckily they came out at the new levels so I was nearly there. All I lacked was a ghost and boots so bought those.
I also couldn't resist decrypting a heavy exotic engram and that popped out as the new HMG. Result.
Moog, the blue engrams max out at 340 from what I've seen.

I am up to a mighty 319 now (kneel before me Cretins!) 
Only played an hour and ran through the first couple of missions. For now, I'm just chucking on whatever blue armour/weapons I get at a higher light until I start getting to a level where things are worth infusing into exotics and favourite weapons.
By the time I can put some proper effort into this, I suspect the regulars will have completed the raid on all 3 characters and be moaning that HM isn't released yet!

Yep, I suspect I need to be the other side of 330 before blues drop at 340. I'd like to get there before I cash in my vanguard and faction packages - I see that I can buy a Crucible biased 350 ghost for not that many marks and swap a legendary engram + 5K glimmer for a Titan towel, might do both of those things and hope that pushes me over 330 (now at 328)
Well, in theory I should be able to burn some of the 5k mores of light to faction level up for some good gear but have resisted temptation so far. Have 2 of the new exotics, Khostov which rather splendidly lets you change it from a machine gun of slow and fast firing rates to a pulse or a scout with a quick switch of perks, I like it. Also have the new Gally which is still great.
Have to say that a lot of the vendor roles for snipers, auto rifles and pulse rifles look pretty god like.

Supposedly once you hit 350 Engrams only have a 50% chance to be one light higher than you are, as they want you to play the game where gear drops rather than burn through engram stashes etc. Community manager said it wasn't a bug.
Have to say I'm enjoying how hectic the new missions and patrol is, might be because I'm not max level though!

Update - you can also buy a 350 ghost from the Vanguard, which is what I'll do
Thought the story missions were good actually but oh so very short, not too taxing aside from the last one where I needed three or four attempts before I got it down but there is plenty to get on with once they are done. Getting the Gjallarhorn is next on the wish list, but I'll play the game and when it arrives, it arrives I suppose
Need to start emptying the vault of all the assorted rubbish I've accumulated over the past two years - some will remain for inexplicable sentimental reasons (some VoG stuff, Crota stuff, etc) but the vast majority needs to go and be converted into whatever I can get for the resultant materials
Oh and wasn't it widely reported that the artifact would no longer contribute to LL? Still does on my character unless something changes further down the line perhaps
