On the wrong side of "damage referee"
So after the new patch rolled out, I tried to play some crucible, and all I can say is: "wow, this is the worst connection-based experience I've ever had in a shooter".
I played 5 matches, and in every match, there was [i]not a single[/i] person with a green bar connection--everyone was yellow or worse.
I assume this has to do with the new damage referee, and I figure that it must also mean I've been chosen to be among the people who are forced to suffer having a bad connection by being placed with similar players.
Only here's the catch: I have really good internet. I'm wired into my router and get down/up speeds of 110/12. So why am I being put in these horrific matches? Is that really not a good enough connection for this new 'damage referee'??
I guess I'm stuck playing stale PvE content since the crucible is now unplayable for me...
EDIT: To all the lovlies calling me a liar and a hater because I only have one game in crucible recorded yesterday, I remind you aht I have more than one account, and I went on both to see if the problem was limited to one...

1 ReplyGetting matched with red bars has nothing to do with Damage Referee.

4 RepliesBecause crucible is still SBMM. Now at 25 hours total of testing. I can see no difference in CBMM and skill is still the determining factor. So far it seems damage referee may, in fact, be working opposite of how its intended.
-
It's not any better with all green bars. Crucible now is like fighting the taken. Teleports and holograms everywhere.
-
your internet must suck..where are you located? Cause if you are in matches where everyone is red and yellow...and you see you are red or yellow..Then that's where you belong!

What's your ping look like? If it is decent you are probably playing during your nations down time and getting people 4000 miles from you which is going to cause lag that will cause nightmares.

Lol I played yesterday day(I have a green bar) and there were loads of people lagging
-
Where do you guys find these all red bar lobbies ? Im playing with an average internet from İstanbul and I haven't experienced lag since yesterday's patch. Nearly everyone in my lobbies were green bar and connection just felt good and also at this point if you think you will find lobbies filled with players that doesn't know how to play pvp you are wrong

Ping?

It's pretty obvious that Bungie has taken it upon themselves to throttle individual connections(somehow) in an attempt to artificially keep the games close. It's really no different than point shaving in field sporting events. Skill as been largely taken out of the equation for end game results. They have failed miserably.

4 RepliesMarch 8th, 2016..... the day Bungie killed PvP. Anyone who spent any amount of time playing Iron Banner saw this train wreck coming.

Logged onto Destiny after a month or so, good break, I tried the new MM yesterday for 3 games, and the first was great. Great connections, people weren't too sweaty, but the other 2 games were good with connections, but the kids were sweatier than what you would find before. I want to have fun, not bust my ass every game to do good.

2 RepliesI played and didn't notice anything different except that everyone's bars were yellow as you discribed, i did have an amazing rumble match now that i think of it. I wonder if there metrics were off.

1 game = 5?. how does that work?
-
Here is what i believe the real catch is... Most people are giving division a try out and you are playing with a sparse population
-
Try opening the proper ports if you have not already.. Not saying it will fix it but worth a shot.. I honestly don't know much about it.

2 RepliesYou're not helping yourself by lying

1 ReplyWow hater. Only played 1 game and complaining about 5

Damage Referee has nothing to do with matchmaking. Damage Referee is when you have a poor connection, shoot someone with a good connection, and see no damage proc. It's designed to even the playing field when matched up against those seemingly immune red bars.

7 RepliesEdited by t-mutton: 3/9/2016 12:56:10 PMI don't know why bungie won't just show the [b]actual[/b] ping time for all players in a match. That way you could see what's going on with everyone's connections, instead of a nondescript coloured bar.
-
Year one player here and last night was the worst lag we have seen. My team took a lot of video last night so we would have proof of how bad it was. It's really sad at this point.
-
The better your internet, the more handicap you have.....

Just accept that Bunglevision will never get it right. PvP in this game is crap since TTK and as long as they don't reroll anything this game is literally unplayable. I truly loved the game but they destroyed it...good thing is: My unhealthy addiction to this shit is finally done.
-
It is even worse yes.
