TLDR; go to another topic, cause I dont give a -blam!-.
Background:
I commute to work 2 hours a day. Put in 10 hour days not counting the commute. I'm exhausted at the end of the day. Gym is an important hobby too. I also have 2 kids and an angry exwife.
With that in mind; you can already grasp the picture... My play time is very limited.
Also, I'm an xbox one user.
Situation:
Time approx 2000 EST (Monday 12/15/14)
After my long arduous day, I decided to play Destiny. Lets knock out 3 oracle cps - Atheon for VoG on hard mode. (I need shards like a mofo)
group finder = non existent (we know that sucks)
So 20 mins later I have my group. O shit, party chat sucks and isn't working. Hard reset. Screw it, party chat blows and still isn't working. Fireteam chat. I'm ready to launch and guess what... One of my characters is bugged and the launch button wont appear... Wtf. Hey group, no worries 2 other characters with oracle cp. 35 minutes later....
So things go smoothly up to Atheon, except for the occasional disconnect for someone right before awards for Templar part (literally happened to a poor nerd).
We thought this raid is going smoothly, though we wiped at first run with Atheon... He was almost dead and we were down 1 guy who was disconnected (why does this keep happening?). We got this on round 2. WRONG.
LAG, GLITCHINESS, MORE DISCONNECTS, ETC. AND 20 ROUNDS LATER I WENT TO SLEEP ANGRY.
Problem:
Why is this game so bungie... I mean buggy? Disconnects? Lag? Etc.
Is ps4 having any of these issues?... Cause I'm about done with xbox and its stupid party chat and xbox live. Its nothing like 360, it blows.
Rant:
I hate these load times... Thought I throw that comment in... I spend at least a 1/3 of my precious limited time in a load screen.
I'm about to give up. This game really isn't that good... Its the community, my friends, you kept me in this. The story is lacking, horrible delivery, game play and mechanics seem great... Except for glitches/bugs, lag, and rngzus hate.
Only thing bungie has going for this game... Its you, the community... And I'm on my last thread with even that, as good as you are fellow guardians...
-
Sounds like bad internet to me.
-
A lot of the things you are complaining about have nothing to do with bungie. Game works fine and the dev is great. People need to stop blaming bungie for personal issues/bad organisation.
-
When I play on ps3 it's buggy as hell and disconnects are common. As for the ps4 I genuinely cannot remember the last time I lost connection.
-
You not having time is not bungies fault Destinylfg.com for easy group finds Get better connection for less glitches
-
This post and everything that You're expressing on it reminded me of an article I recently read at Polygon titled [url=http://www.polygon.com/2014/12/15/7393695/destiny-dark-below-punishing-hardcore]Destiny's Dark Below expansion punishes the game's most important players[/url] and is inline with how we all feel. It not only states that Bungie is punishing dedicated players but also describes how Bungie is doing it, with calcukated stats and all, putting facts where our gut fellings were.
-
Microsoft isn't with bungie anymore....

Edited by Valkemier: 12/17/2014 9:53:35 PMIm on Xbox one and the last time I had a disconnect was when lizard squad did their lame ddos attack on xbox live. Other than that they have been pretty damn rare if you exclude comcast issues or having to reset my router and such. As far as your connection issues check out the port forwarding settings in your router for your xbox, or DMZ it. As far as the commute and job sux2bu...j/k but perhaps its time for an upgrade :) And The ex, easy solution....got gators where you live? if not sharks will do!
-
Upgrade to a real console- a PS4.
-
I'm on PS4 and I've had no problems at all. I feel your pain on the loading times. The only part I wonder about is why the orbit requires a load. It seems, to my non-tech mind, it could just be a menu and you could go straight from planet to planet in one load.
-
Bugs isnt the same as connection problems. Try checking to see if your NAT matches up with Bungie's requirements
-
It's not just xbox. This game is still hip deep in development and no where near ready to go live.
-
F@ck this game.
-
Don't be a cry baby
-
I can't remember the last disconnect I had from Destiny and our party chats on ps4 are brilliant. ...but try sending an instant message via Psn and that's another matter altogether - it'd be quicker via carrier pigeon!
-
Edited by Umbra: 12/16/2014 1:28:27 PMDestiny is very peculiar about its connection... And by that I mean they have shit servers. Its not Microsoft's fault (although maybe the party disconnect is, but you can't stop someone from disconnecting if there internet is shit) bungie I guess decided for an always online mmo fps whatever they wouldn't spend as much on there servers as they should have And yes ps3/4 servers are even worse I think that's the one thing all console gamers can agree on is that Xbox has way superior servers
-
Honestly I've never experienced anything that bad as an XB1 user. There was one night where I think MSFT had that miserable Azure update that pretty much wrecked everything hosted by mr softy. But that was it. I obviously can't walk in your moccasins here, but I'm not sure it's systemic or common among any other CB1 friends.
-
Not sure if anyone else suggested this but someone else's connection that is on your fire team could be the cause as well...I have lagged really bad on atheon a couple of times and it was someone on the fire team using a crappy wireless connection...as soon as they left we had no problems in finishing
-
The chat issues are on how Bungie is implementing the feature not on how Microsoft done things. If it was Microsofts fault, every game out there using those features would be awful in that category and would share the same behavior. [b]THIS IS ALL BUNGIES FAULT!!![/b]

Edited by EtherMagz: 12/16/2014 12:50:35 PMYou would probably kill yourself if you played it on PS4. Im not having many issues besides the occasionally party chat bugs. Hard reset fixes that completely.
-
interesting. i've had 0 problems with my xbone and destiny except for one thing. every now and then i turn on the xbox and go to destiny and it says i've been logged out then tries to go to the main menu but starts making horrible sounds as if the audio is glitched and never goes to home screen. i usually just go back to the xbox home screen and exit the game tile from there and then go back in and its fine. I would check your NAT settings could just be your internet connection
-
Whats your NAT? Buggy party chat is indicative of Moderate or Strict...
-
Why would you have a gripe against Microsoft?
-
Load times blow, so does not having enough time to play. Angry Ex makes everything a bit worse too. If you need a dedicated player for fireteams/raids/strikes add me bud Patrlck86 Xbox One Im on daily after 5pm EST and practically all hours of the day from fridany night until sunday night, hope to see you out there buddy
-
Anyone else at least able to commiserate?
-
Load times do suck
-
Game is also buggy on PS4, but to add insult to injury, PSN is also less reliable than XBL..... way more downtime on PSN than on XBL
