I would go as far as to say that the connectivity was never worse for me. And I am mostly a PvP player. My first char only got to level 20 because I played the Crucible. Didn't really touch the story before that. Well, and getting killed by Vex/Suros once too often made me realise that my trusted Cydonia AR 3, couldn't compete with those, so I decided that I need a better primary and started to play the story. I honestly bought this game solely for the MP at first. And still mostly play only that.
