I have no idea how many things have gone wrong with this patch, but the lag in the Crucible is worse than ever before.
Iron Banner can be described as lag free, in comparison.
The matchmaking seems to be fundamentally broken, as every lobby I am in either has at least 3 red bars, 6 yellow bars or everyone is yellow bar.
Shots take forever to register, melee charges are getting consumed, yet no damage is being dealt.
Bullets simply disappear (some call them phantom bullets).
I am getting sniped, yet no lense flare shows up (or the last 40 people are apparently the best quickscopers in Destiny).
People do not appear on the Radar, even though they aren't invisible.
Getting killed through walls is also a new favourite pastime of mine.
PvP is currently pretty broken, in terms of connection quality.
Edit:
Thanks for all the replies, up votes and agreement.
It's very reassuring when a lot of people experience similar things.
Something went horribly wrong with this patch, concerning the connection quality and hit detection of melee attacks.

I've noticed this mainly in 6v6 modes, that is why I stick to 3v3 now...
-
Lag is definitely an issue, but not an excuse
-
I actually agree with a majority of that. I've been running into poor connections or teleporting characters while remaining in the green bar. Run into moments where my bullet damage doesn't register when I'm obviously on point and when I melee someone, they don't gain the additional effects such as burn.

While we are on the subject bungie. YOUR SERVERS ARE TRASH! All the severs no matter which ones seem to lag and glitch uncontrollably. Ogres shouldn't teleport, people shouldn't shoot me through walls, if I fall off my plate in the raid and jump back on and the torn platforms still there. With all the money your draining out of you loyal fans you could at least upgrade your servers
-
I have experienced most of your issues myself, the most frustrating one that I have experienced being the "fading" radar contact. Guy hiding round the corner, wait no he's gone, no.. he's there... no radars clear again........ Really, REALLY annoying, that and a teleporting Hunter (gunslinger btw) literally teleported (lagged) behind a corner and shotgunned someone in the face without crossing the intervening terrain.

I have played crucible an insane ammount of hours and this last update made me want to quit destiny... People are just camping everywhere since they don't have to use primaries. I've been playing with people all over the world and I'm regularly dying behind cover from bullets that apparently follow you now.....
-
Yeah especially melees are just dumb. If the target is moving and he/she is laggy it never registers.(at least with blink strike this happens oh so often.)
-
Dont play pvp until they fix the shit they created. If they do not fix it, quit the game all together.
-
I'll also add one More to the List............ Kills not being Counted. I'm not the best in Crucible but I do get my share of Kills. But when I know I got 8 -12 kills & it says I got 2 or Nothing.
-
You get match with same connection .. Im green and all i get r greens too
-
My radar seems to not work properly these days (is this because of lag?). It says there is someone right in front of me or to the left/right/behind, [i]but no one is there[/i]. And I've used the radar (with the MIDA) practically since I first bought the game a year ago. Have they slowed down the radar mechanic or is it something to do with servers?
-
When 2.0 hit, they changed the matchmaking system. It went from connection based matchmaking (still lagging, but not this garbage), to skill-based matchmaking (K/D and shit like that). This caused their already laggy PvP servers to go to complete shit...
-
Glad you posted this. I've been experiencing the same thing. It'd happen say one game out of 50 pre update. After the update I very rarely get a game where there isn't some weird stuff going on. It's not my internet,it's perfectly fine. I only ever have issues with it when I'm on Destiny.
-
They edited the match making for skill rather than connection. So p2p connection is now dog shit and the lag reigns supreme
-
It's almost like...there should be... [spoiler]deticated servers[/spoiler]
-
You know. It was a lot better when we knew the cheaters were cheating. This lag in every game mode sucks duck balls.

Edited by Killlerschaf: 12/17/2015 4:09:06 PMDid I already mention that the lag seems to make my shotgun not work properly? Could there be an ADS glitch because of the lag, and Rangefinder doesn't proc on "snapshot" shots?
-
Edited by Killlerschaf: 12/17/2015 1:41:20 PMOh, and spawning seems to be broken as well. Spawned numerous times in front of 2 enemies/people who had their super.
-
I was in a game yesterday this dude was standing still and I emptied my whole doctrine of passing into his head then he teleported and I randomly died. He was completely green bar. Not even the green bar means anything anymore.
-
The lag seems to be a reason for inconsistent shotgun kills as well.
-
The radar problem for sure...
-
The radar problem I notice, but other than that everything seems fine when I play.
-
It has got noticeably worse. I see people with greenbars teleporting around aswell now so the colour of the bar means nothing. I've had this happen a few times now after patches and then like a month or so later its eventually gotten to a point where its just about playable again. Crucible is pretty boring now though and the current meta is actually worse than when it was thorn shotgun.
-
I've been trying hammer of sol on my titan and I noticed direct hits don't kill enemies either. Bravo, Bungie.
-
Agreed, even the matchmaking has been stalling out at 11/12 players pretty consistently. And when the match loads in, even people with green bars are teleporting. Something broke when sparrow racing came out, hopefully they'll fix it before it leaves.

Pls fix bungie
