Geo-Filtering on crucible

Hi, firstly I am a big fan of Destiny, but lag is seriously starting to put me off playing PVP now. On the whole it seems OK in Iron Banner. But I tried Trials for about the second time recently and at least four of the games one person got kicked so it was a two vs three situation. Playing anything other than control makes me think my "Last Word" is firing blanks. And where do people get these magic shotguns that can kill from across a room! I have gone through the Bungie help and set up my firewall. I have a good connection and good ping rates. (I work in IT so have experience with networking and troubleshooting) Now, maybe some of the games is lag switchers but after reading about this router below I think a lot of it could be physical locations of other gamers, especially on lower populated game types. Do Bungie have any plans to improve this in future patches? The router below has geo-filtering on it and from the article it sounds like it helps. Would we get banned for using this router? https://netduma.com/ http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1096509

    The Taken King/update 2.0 is going to play host to a bunch of new networking features that Bungie has yet to go into detail on. Stay tuned for those.

    • Any Destiny players using one of these routers (Netduma R1), what's your experience with it?

        At this point lag is so god awful in this game I don't care. I just ordered one. From what I understand from some reading half the lag is probably bungle's fault aside from bad p2p "servers". Not only do they piggyback our connections but they lag compensate us to match the worst connections. Add "skill based" matchmaking to that...where you end up being forced to play over further distances. Apparently they think absurd amounts of latency is acceptable. I got so fed up I turned in my ps4 for an xbone so I could at least try titan fall with its dedicated servers. I normally get a sub 30ms ping. Some TV'S have worse built in lag than that. It's awesome. It's absolutely absurd that I have to buy a 200 dollar router to block bungle from putting me in 800ms ping games. -blam!- you bungle
