Destiny Damage Referee. Nice in theory. In-game? Not so much.
We've all been in [b]that[/b] game. Player unkillable, bar as red as can be, leading in kills as their team wipes the floor with everyone they play.
Thought I'd examine how Bungie's new Damage Referee feature which has been (in theory) put in place to stop red-barred players from winning every match, is working out in the wild world of The Crucible.

What are all you people talking about, they never said they had implemented Damage referee in trials, The only thing the patch notes said was that damage referee was added to control. So first go play a match of control and then come back here.

Destiny Damage Referee. Nice in theory. In practice - another soap bubble.

Crucible is a mess Sols, I DEFINATELY agree their. Nothing like what it used to be before all these crap patches came out and there so called "referee". As a matter of fact, I did trials last night to help out a guy and his son do bounties. (level 300 and 289, so we got whooped A LOT. LOL. But it was all in fun). Anyways, we were in a match where both, and I say again, both teams were in full on GOD mode for the entire round. We could not kill each other, or ourselves. We said screw it and let the other team capture the control point, of course that was after a few minutes of both sides screwing around. LOL Funniest part was we were ALL green bar for the whole game. Every round.

The only way that will work with 6 v 6 is CBMM or regional servers such as Europe only USA only or a choice of open to all. Just like Battlefield uses.

5 RepliesDidn't they say that Damage Referee would make lagging players experience lag even worse? Basically meaning, that you are actually the one lagging right now? Let me get the exempt: "What will happen (again, in theory), if my connection is bad? Paul: If your connection is bad, we'll be giving you even more reasons to improve it. Expect to lose fights a lot more often, even if you think you shot first or escaped behind cover in time. Things will get much better once you fix your connection, but at least you'll receive fewer angry messages in the meantime." https://www.bungie.net/7_This-Week-At-Bungie--02042016/en/News/News?aid=44307

My connection isn't great and playing trials yesterday I noticed a few times when I definitely had sniper headshot a lined up they didn't register. Another time my arc blade didn't register. So maybe it is working

Edited by twey_ironside: 2/16/2016 10:47:15 AMBump. Just one glitchy guy can decide a match... I just played 2 matches. I left the first as it was unplayable and we barely won the second match because the enemy team had one guy glitching all over the place.

One minute ago a mother-blam!-er complained why he could not kill me with three sniper bullets but he dies from one bullet of my scout rifle- he got bodyshoted by a sniper by the way- he wrote me a message about my european connection and all but i was green bar and dont understand what his problem was? He did just one thing : he grabbed heavy and got 20 kills with a heavy machine gun from any distance that is possible and what can u do about a golden gun with mida and radiance dance machines? Absolutely nothing! This is game not like it was in the past when everbody was not -blam!-ing up the connection with exotics and perks... U -blam!-ing game cant handle this bungie!!
-
My experience has been terrible. Deleted all my characters and quit playing. Bungie -blam!-ed this game up.

Red bars are harder to kill now. My wife and I play doubles and did ok. We were 5-4 and 4-5 a most of the time. However, when we played red bars it was usually 1-5. Only happened against red bars.

I've seen the same problem. They even feel harder to kill at times. The damage referee hasn't changed anything, but made it worse imo

1 ReplyThe damage referee has severely impacted people with bad connection but not the people with connections so bad they can teleport. So I live in Iceland and because of SBMM I get matched up against Portuguese and Spanish people 90% of the time. All damage referee has done is allowed us to shoot each other through walls and prevent direct hits from registering. The crucible is a complete mess.

3 RepliesAs you know I work in Asia and by which I play A LOT of Out Of Region games since my friends are all in the US. My ping to US West, as per Titan Fall and my online ping site, is around 185. I have NEVER seen any advantage to my games, more like disadvantage, and the few times I played COD I could see in the kill cam how many seconds I lagged behind what the other player saw. There is more to it than just a red bar player.
-
to be fair though they did say in theory a lot so at least they sort of prepared people for it to fail instead of saying it [b]will[/b] do this and that

3 RepliesWell. I think its irresponsible to just jump on the red bar wagon just because you had such an experience. How many other alternatives did you consider apart from just looking at the red bar? Personally - Ive been up against a mass of players with red bars that do not affect game play at all. Ive also experienced green bar players that lag out, glitch, become invincible, etc. How do you explain that? Stop following the herd like a sheep by just jumping on the red bar band wagon - unless of course you have absolute proof that it was only that factor responsible for your experience.

Edited by TheKungLao: 2/15/2016 4:13:47 PMI've experienced the same thing quite frequently. What I know about how networking works wouldn't fill a thimble but I do know I haven't seen the slightest bit of difference in the way the game plays out with the damage referee. Red bars still top the leader boards. If anything it seems worse because enemies I engage take no damage whatsoever from time to time. I can't swear that it's not my connection but I have the best connection my service provider offers and I've had it checked numerous times. The in game connection display says I don't red bar. I used to see lag often in the past but it was manageable. Since Bungie started changing the way mm works everthing is just off.
