Strange characteristics of laggy PvP since EoF dropped

I'm on PS5 for reference. Not going to talk about the obvious stuff such as other players teleporting and moving much faster than normal, or coming around a corner and having a hundred bullets hit your head in a split second before you can even get your reticle on a target. Specifically new telltale signs of a laggy match are... 1) An odd audio effect which I can best describe as someone taking the normal game audio and playing it in a cave or subway tunnel. It has a strange echoing reverb quality that at times gets incredibly loud. 2) Visual artifacts which connect players in the air to the ground or nearby objects. Like someone attached a giant rubber band from their arm or leg to the nearest solid surface. 3) Other random issues that come and go: Getting caught randomly on invisible snags as you try to walk or run through tight areas or around corners or especially while trying to move back or sideways behind cover. Takes longer than normal to pick up special ammo, with the result that you think you picked it up, but didn't. Also, this same identical issue when reviving teammates. Several times using Getaway Artist I have eaten my arc grenade to spawn an arc soul and frost turret, but despite making the frost turret sound I only get an arc soul, no frost turret. Phoenix Dive animation does not slam you to the ground crisply, but floats you to the ground much slower than normal. I'm probably forgetting some, but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. What are other people experiencing?

  • This is lag. I think that it's a cause of lack of Bungie servers maintenance. Besides playing with many different sorts of internet connections, there's also VPN. On peer-to-peer this is very bad for gameplay quality. As last, probably some players are manipulating their internet.

    This. All of this!!!!!! But it's been an issue on and off, for a long time, but specifically a corner holding you hostage in a barrage of bullets, for having the audacity for walking backwards! And I've been gaslit into thinking it's "just normal Bungo-shenanigans" for so long, that I've just started accepting I will just "sometimes lose, just because", cause not everyone actually pays attention to the feel and flow of the game..! \○/
