Discrimination Against "Poor" Internet Users... Code-Name: Damage Referee

This has got to be one of the most baleful lines ever spoken from you Bungie! [quote]Paul: If your connection is bad, we'll be giving you even more reasons to improve it.[/quote] Do you honestly think I can tell my router to go faster? Perhaps start my own internet service that's fiber inducing? Or go talk to the big companies and ask very nicely if they could help in my plight? Unfortunately there are many of us gamers who aren't as privileged compared to those with optimal connections and there is little to no chance we can really do anything about it and now you're threatening us?! As a person who has "lesser" internet I can honestly say that whenever I've had a red bar, or even green a green bar, I've never felt like I had the advantage; in fact, the clear opposite happens to me. I get shot through corners, witnessed teleporting sparrows during SRL, you get the picture - it's frustrating! I understand that something needs to be done to those who purposely tamper with their connections, but to punish those who are trying to play legit is wrong; you're literally pulling an Ebenezer and it's so baffling. If you're that inclined to only want people who have privileged internet then you should have only sold the game to those people because apparently my money isn't good enough for you. Believe me when I say I would LOVE to have the most up to date internet, but with the way service provider companies currently are, it will never happen because they're not going to go out of their way to help little me who wants to play games online or whatever. So, if you want your paying customers to be able to play your game without connection headaches then you need not to tell us about how bad our internet is, but to the companies who are holding your people back. EDIT: "Poor" internet means not that great internet service - not money!

    • As long as you have your console wired and not WiFi and you set up your router to prioritize your console than you should be fine. No streaming, no downloading, no multi device mutlitasking on your router. The only thing to truely doom you is if your location just has crappy ping to everywhere else. That's your ISP infrastructure. If that's the case than look else were for internet. Moving big chunks of data isn't a fast connection for gaming. A reliable, low ping connection is what you want. So after all the optimizing of your router and limiting your internet to just focusing on your console doesn't help than that's it. Your internet is not good enough for gaming, at least not destiny.

    • Dude I think they were aiming that tone at the lag switchers lol but as -blam!-ed up as it is to ppl with shitty internet, I care not. Ebough is enough with red bar god moders. Or maybe they worded it like that bc we bitch all the time about it so they gave a hard tone to the laggers to appease us All I kno is I'm sick of red bars xD

      Regarding the edit, Poor does refer to money. With money you could accomplish those feats you half heartedly mock such as starting your own fiber... Sucks being poor huh?

      • I really don't care about your bad connection. If the majority have a good connection we shouldn't be hindered by people who slum. Buy a better router or contact your provider to fix the issue. Quit whining like a 3rd grade girl

        You may be overreacting. The way I understood it is that those with bad internet speeds are going to have to deal with lag. Those with good speed won't. Dealing with it means that it will be a disadvantage. If a player is not able to upgrade their speed then they can play, but it's going to be hard on them instead of being hard on everyone else. How is that discriminatory?

        • All I get from this is that you are fine with people with poor internet having a advantage over people with better internet. Im sorry but we shouldn't be punished because you have a bad connection. I understand there are places that have horrible connection speeds but unless you get a better ISP you shouldn't be playing online only MP games. And it isn't just pvp, a bad host can make a raid damn near impossible to complete.

          • I feel your pain. I hot red bar occasionally and it -blam!-s we over way more than any benefits i get. People teleport with their green bars shooting me round corners and take no damage. Shit happens and I move on but I feel this change will not benefit the "green bars" as much as they think it will when they become the red brs when people are forced out

          • I honestly feel for you and your slow internet. It just really suck... But to be honest, your internet connection shouldn't have to make the game worse for other people. It wouldn't be fair, and it hasn't been fair so far. My connection has been green for months, but I get killed around corners and in times when I should not be dying. Please have understanding for how you affect other players.
