Just a PSA: Unless you know your connection is bad, and you [b]really[/b] want it to improve, don’t bother opening/forwarding ports or fiddling with NAT Type 2 or less. Bungie ‘s troubleshooting page has improved over the years, including them now warning people about the dangers of opening ports. However, they don’t make it clear that doing those things when you have a great connection (with decent jitter/latency), won’t improve things when you encounter people not taking damage or seeming to kill you with one or two bullets from an AR etc. Modern WiFi is not that bad anymore even when multiple people connect. If your setup is outdated, or you’re ISP is still on copperwire, then sure, you have to plug in. But don’t endanger your family running a cable through your living room. Not for this game, especially if you have fiber. Again, Bungie’s troubleshooting is for people who have trouble connecting to the game in general and/or communicating with others, or for households with multiple people playing D2 together. Edit: I should clarify that Bungie’s troubleshooting page is not intentionally misleading. If you look at it as a whole, the guide is clearly addressing errors you, the user, are receiving. The issue is that over time Bungie’s SEO has also vastly improved (e.g. a [b]lot[/b] of mentions). That means the specific troubleshooting page ranks very highly on Google, and it’s very easy for someone searching for help to land there…out of context, which I hear a lot from people I’ve played with. That is all.
