I still remember your post (sometimes I reference it 'this guy posted trying different combinations of internet connection and friends he played with' when I comment about lag/crucible issues). I try to keep it in mind, but it's still so frustrating when all of the sudden it seems like I can't put a reticle on an enemies head while he seemingly two-shots me, or my shotgun shots don't register while I get meleed or hit with party crasher as the enemy runs away.... The subtle issues can be even more frustrating than teleporting guardians or getting shot behind a wall.

    I know man.......I'm boycotting Destiny for 8 days now and don't even play other games untill the new DLC. So dissapointed... Nothing to do in the evenings, so i play with my Galaxy VR. Did you see this Topic i have made:[url] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/211237791?sort=0&page=0[/url] I'm such an addicted and competitive gamer, so i'm fightting for our right to play PvP fairly (for 2016). Last Iron Banner i couldnt even get Top Overall Score with my Titan. (first time in 2 years). That was the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

  • I don't remember the post specifically- but the line about the compensator not working but they tried sounds familiar. I definitely haven't seen the update from Aug. 19. Have to check it out when I get home tonight. That's rough about the iron banner. I only started playing all 3 characters in IB the last few (only started using the Warlock and Titan in March) - I think I failed to get the warlock top score two or three IBs ago- I started saving the weekly bounties for the next IBs when possible, and since that's the hardest thing to do, I'll usually turn in the other two weeklies if possible (so I lose track of if I've gotten top score with any of the characters- I know I did for sure with both hunter and warlock the last one, because it registered as being superfluous since I still had the weekly bounty completed from the previous IB). Wow 8 days....every time I think I'm going to have a few hours free to try a different game (Metal Gear, Tomb Raider, Halo 5 at the top of my list), a friend gets online, asks me to do a raid or some crucible. But yeah, recently crucible has been excruciating. Last night I kind of wanted to tell Friend #2 to let Friend #1 be fireteam leader, in case it made a difference in the connection, but didn't want to offend him (imply that his internet is not good). With regards to my comment above- I will also say that while Friend #1 is convinced that it is SBMM that makes her experiences with our raid leader (the good PvP player) awful, I'm convinced it's a connection issue. I also never do well playing with him- ever. And I know that he thinks there's something up with his connection, because when things get wonky in the raid, he'll make me fireteam leader and will ask me to back out and bring the team back into the raid. Additionally, the best PvP player in my clan gets teased for having "Walmart internet"; they say they are joking (it's not actually Wal-mart), but we all know it's a crap connection. And he's the guy who goes to lighthouse more than anyone else in the clan. The thing that convinced me was that once we were running hard mode Crota, and three of us made it through to the last couple of lamps. Two of us died, and he survived, taunting us. But on my screen, as he was dancing on top of a bridge support, the ogres blasts were passing through his body (I dunno....does lag even affect a PvE enemy??). Something not right there.

    I'm looking at that kind of things, too. For years now.... Maybe Destiny 2 will be better and players with good connections will get rewarded, instead of being punished.

  • Yeah, my brother-in-law set up my internet (he's an electrical engineer who works in game coding now) to be the best possible- best service, router, modem available. So I've never been concerned about it not being top tier. After I had read your post, I briefly considered trying to run off wireless instead of ethernet....just to see how I did..... But I'm not really that hardcore a PvP player that I would do that just to boost my stats. I mostly PvE, for fun, then do some crucible if a friend is playing (I think only 15% of my Destiny play time is in PvP). But yeah, after two years of lag and the volume of complaints, hopefully improving the connections is a priority for Destiny 2.......
