Crucible is becoming unplayable because of lag. Shoot at person, bullets do nothing, I'm dead because they are standing over there now and shot me from a different direction.
6x6 modes are the worst for lag and it has drained the fun out of the game.

This is the entire reason I quit playing 6v6's. I have put entire mags of thunderlord into someone's head, had them wheel around in a panic for 2-3 seconds while I'm shooting them, then have them whip around and one or two tap me like I'm nothing. They're just standing there, in the open and completely still, taking bullet after bullet, just nothing. When I do the 3v3's, I can go a week without seeing a really wonky game. Hit the 6v6's and out of a dozen games, I'm lucky if ONE works right.

Yup, same. I've noticed connection issues in the Tower, too, but never in open world or PVE.

There HAS to be a minimum connection quality to meet before being allowed into crucible, but Bungie wouldn't have the balls to say "Nope, your 1mbps mcdonalds wifi is too s**t to play" to people.

Yeah. I just dumped a half a mag into a warlock. Had half the bullets do no damage, then the teleported and shotgunned me. Around a corner. As a Dawnblade.

Yes its becoming crazy lately, Bungie needs to do something about it. Lag issues have no place games nowdays. Destiny only uses like 2mb of upload bandwidth, most people have much more than that
-
I don't know what the technical solution is. A lot of people outside US cities and around the globe don't have more than that, so increasing upload bandwidth may knock a lot of people out of the game. It got worse when they switched back to CBMM*, and even worse after Beyond Light (maybe because of PS5??). Maybe dedicated servers would help???? *This doesn't mean I'm advocating for SBMM. It's just an observation from playing a ton of Crucible. Between lag and consistently unlucky loot drops, I'm getting pretty salty and tired of the game. I used to hop on daily and decompress in a 6x6 mode but the lag makes gameplay annoying. I'll probably take a few days off and then go back to it because I'm insane. And by that, I mean the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. LOL!

Edited by RLZ: 4/18/2021 12:29:30 PMSurely dedicated servers would solve 99% of the issues, but you can't expect a company to invest in a dedicated servers infrastructure on a 4 yr old game, you can't justify that expense, and this is just business to them, contrary to the passionate stuff they are feeding us in the ViDocs. The hybrid servers BS they tried to pull clearly is not helping. We can hope for a tuneup of them, maybe work with steam to increase the tickrate, at least try to do something, let us know they are trying to improve it at least.

Yeah, you're right. I wonder what this new game they are promising is. Seems like if it is an FPS they'll have to add dedicated servers.
