Ridiculous lag in the crucible matches
First of all let me start by saying it's probably not on my end, I don't have the best internet but I get pretty good speeds, and I play other games just fine. I am either experiencing terrible lag, or the hit detection is way off, all this started in the beta, I took all in stride, thinking well it's only a beta and this is the exact reason for the beta, to stress test their servers and iron out the kinks. But no, I am actually experiencing worse lag than with the beta, poor hit detection, it takes at least 5 headshots to kill anyone with the Scout rifles, the pulse rifles and hand cannons are all but useless for me, and the only usable weapon is the auto rifle, and I use over half a magazine to kill one person. Bungie what's going on? The crucible is all but unplayable. Is any body else experiencing this, or is it just me?

Yesterday, I was killed form sniper distance by a Thorn. It was the very beginning of the match and we were separated by two walls.

everybody has a green bar one match...then two games later everything is red and laggy.
-
this seems to be a big problem more and more lately......................i,ve noticed if i leave my guadian in orbit for over 10 mins, then start a pvp or pve game i will be on a red bar connection, i then have to start destiny again to return to green. There is nothing fun about crucible anymore, i shoot someone 5 times in the head ............... they return fire with red death and kill me, then get there health back then a couple of seconds later it pops up with a kill for me PMSL what a -blam!-ing joke this game is.

Glad I read this, I was starting to think it was just me. Hit detection is absolutely ridiculous, I can be hitting someone point blank with a shotgun and their health doesn't move then they finish what they are doing, turn round and melee me and it's instant death. I connect via ethernet with a fibre broadband connection and it's the only game doing this. I can't see this exotic hand cannon bounty being completed any time soon . . .

Edited by Hooligantuan: 3/26/2015 9:35:43 PMIt started getting bad late last year, and the Crucible is barely playable for me now. My KDR is just barely hanging above 1, and I can go a few matches at a time getting smeared by lagging jackasses until I'm well below 1 and probably should have ragequit. Sure, I still don't understand how I never get a one-hit melee kill while I seem to get clobbered in a single melee hit consistently, and I don't understand why only my Fusion or Flux grenades seem capable of killing someone with just one, so maybe there's other stuff at work that I just don't understand and it isn't lag-related. It does seem strange that everybody that walks up and down my ass has a connection that is well in the Red, though. Last Iron Banner was -blam!-ing awful. I don't think I'm going to participate in it anymore. I use Fios fiberoptic line on a wired connection. Testing my connection right now, I get 42.2 Mbps down and 6.2 Mbps up.

Edited by ABCDEFG: 3/21/2015 6:00:58 PMHad an Iron Banner match on Twilight Gap about an hour ago... *Tired sigh* So I was in a team of decent players (all 30+'s if I remember correctly) and at the very start two people on the other team left. I thought "Woo, if we get the advantage now we can win!" and we did get the advantage. For thirty seconds. And then everything went wrong. Two other people joined, as expected. But we were suddenly being crushed. I didn't get any kills in that time so I didn't know what was going on, but then I shot about six MIDA Bullets and two Found Verdict blasts into the guy that later become MVP, died from a single knife, and I knew why. From then on, my whole team was being swarmed by these glitched up guys. I -FIST OF HAVOCED- a guy and yet he survived. I had a brief frenzy of jumping and shotgun blasts with an enemy, four shots on my side, one on his. I died. I tried everything I could after that, repeated melee, another Fist of Havoc, enough MIDA rounds to fill a cargo crate, but in the end it was all futile. I honestly hope no-one (from Thorn users to legit Scout-Rifle users) ever faces what I had to. 20,000 points to them. 1750 points to us.

Destiny overall is laggy for me
-
I feel like the only person who doesn't get bad connection. The few people I see who do lag usually just get killed
-
Lag lag destiny bungie do u read these forums??
-
wow nothing's changed since
-
The lag wasn't too terrible for me during this Iron Banner, but I recall from the last time it was here, my entire team was killed and we weren't able to spawn for at least a good minute.
-
The vast majority of the matches I play are so laggy that I wonder why I bother actually playing. I keep on trying because one in every ten matches or so I get a match where it actually feels like I'm playing in the same match as everyone else and it's great. I'm in Scotland with a 50mbps internet connection. There's no excuse for horrible lag like what I've been experiencing whenever I try to play.
-
Same here, I don't play crucible when my connection is bad because I always get booted and don't want to make everyone else lag, but when my connection is good and I go in, I find I'm surrounded by invincible red-baring 10 year olds glitching around and shoulder charging walls and getting kills. It's ridiculous, why aren't they getting booted? Also if you're on ps3 or xbox360 it's a business tactic by activision (indirect to Microsoft and sony) to make the servers terrible so people buy a next gen console. Sigh, I remember when gaming was about fun and making a good game, not about money....

2 RepliesApparently it's better on next gen consoles (i.e. Xbone and PS4), but yes, the lag can be downright silly. Particularly during special events like Iron Banner.

4 melees to a warlock=no kill Warlock melees once= instant death

Edited by KRAAEZY: 3/19/2015 4:37:07 AMDear Bungie/Activision, Fix the lag problems. What is the point of a person working to improve his or her gameplay when you guys aren't running a reliable game? Sincerely yours, Someone who is traditionally very, very patient, who now walks away half the time thinking, not "gee that was fun" but "what a waste of friggin' time thanks to Bungie's crap server set-up." You have created a really cool game -- if only it worked consistently. PS. Unlike the OP, we're way out of Beta, so you no longer have any excuses.

3 RepliesEdited by harrymfa: 3/17/2015 12:32:04 AMIf you play an old FPS, say Modern Warfare 3, and pick a mode that is not popular, you will experience the same. Why? A small pool of players and not dedicated servers. Latency matters. If you checked the numbers of how much time people spend in Crucible, you'll realize that this game dropped the amount of players in 6 months that it takes Call of Duty in two years. The problem is they made this game raid-centric. The Crucible is treated as an afterthought. You have a favorite weapon you grinded your butt off to master? It gets nerfed. You need Crucible marks to get gear? Takes three times as long as Vanguard marks to collect a similar amount. You want exotics? Legendary drops? Stick to PvE because you're more likely to find an unicorn that get something in PvP. I cut my time in the Crucible drastically. The rewards are not worth it, and now when I join, the lag makes the matches unplayable. It's now a chicken and egg thing. Some matches it seems like every gun is killing me with one shot. Other matches I'm untouchable. So what is it then?
