The next weekly update needs to address the lag in crucible: Here's how

With iron banner here we get see the joyous amount of latency and lag that online has to offer. People teleporting across the map, you witnessing bullets fly through buildings, putting multiple shots into someone and dealing no damage to them are not the limit of what we have been dealing with for far too long. With that said, Bungie, you need to address the growing problem as soon as possible with your weekly update. I suggest you guys implement a ping limit to where if someone's internet ping drops a significant amount multiple times inside an activity you give an error code and boot them. Even if they are not exploiting lag switches, at least you have removed a player that should have never connected to the lobby to begin with. Edit: Great feedback guys. I also question why we don't have a feature for matchmaking to region lock matches. If you play games like Dark Souls 2 or Bloodborne they have the option to region lock your matchmaking. This could be another great fix.

    Played about 20 matches last night I think. One had bad lag, that's it. Are you really being honest with your comments here. Is it really that bad? Me and my 8 friends who play this game can't be the only ones who don't have any significant lag issues. Really?

    • It is pretty bad this time around and seems to get worse with every Iron Banner. My highlight so far was dropping a Nova Bomb on heavy ammo spawn, should have been a quad kill... Nova Bomb hits, no one dies, I get shotgunned by one of them and die. 15 seconds later my quad feed goes across the screen and I get a bunch of medals...but I'm still dead. Unreal. Also there had been a lot of instances where you kill someone 15 feet away then somehow mysteriously die to their melee. They won't address it though, they bury their head in the sand with all problems. People complain about weapon balance for the last 3-4 months, they say they are going to fix it....but not for another 2 months when the new DLC comes out. They had negative reaction to the 2.0 nerfs and then the next weekly update they show off a bunch of shiny new guns and don't even address that some players were upset by the nerfs. This week they already said they are talking about Oryx's dreadnaught, so don't expect anything about lag issues in PVP. They have truly ruined the one unique thing this game had with Crucible. Only PVP game I've seen get worse with each expansion and each passing month. PVP has gone downhill since the Beta which is saying something.

    • Ping limit. That's all that is needed. Stop the switchers and the people with just a poor connection. Most the Times I feel the guy with that lag doesn't mean to do it just he has spawned with the bad connection on that game.

    • [b]Hey Bungie, if you're reading this - invest in some dedicated servers for PvP, it's 2015 and no one should have to play on P2P infrastructure, stop being cheap basterds.[/b]

      • I second that. Yesterday I tried to play couple of matches of Iron Banner with my friends (last played IB in February) and the lag is horrible. Why can't they just boot people with those latency drops - heck even if I'd be the one who's lagging I would be glad to get booted from activity. Afterwards I would contact my ISP if they can do anything to make it better. But this lagging has to stop - I keep thinking of deleting Destiny after I got platinum and the only thing that keeps me from doing so is playing PVP with my friends so I hope it gets better in the future.

        • Helping spread the word to everyone on how to cheat on ps4. Fix your shit Bungie!! You guys are quick to nerf weapons but won't fix your actual broken game. I'm sick of running into cheaters in ToO week after week and you guys not doing anything. So here it goes: Bungie, I hope you are happy for not acknowledging any of this info. Just a simple menu edit. All you have to do is go into your playstation network setting and change your MTU setting from a range of 800-1000. This is how people have been lagging in ToO by capturing zones. BTW bungie, Please acknowledge the thorn weapon swap. I hope ToO will be a better game after you patch these two issues. If you have read this please advise from doing this. The game is not fun this way.

          • Exactly!! These guys with crap connections should not be allowed to ruin the experience for those of us who pay for better service and take extra steps to have strong connections. I always get frustrated wondering how someone with 1 red bar can stay connected for game after game. Boot these dial up scrubs!!!!

          • Everyone in Australia will be even more angry at Bungie if they did this.

              • I would delete all my characters and all my weapons and start from scratch if they implemented that. The lag is ridiculous... Always has been
