IRON BANNER IS LIVE!
As you enter the [i]clash[/i] to impress Lord Saladin, you'll experience the same new-and-improved matchmaking settings that were present in [b][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/192717349/0/0]Control[/url][/b] over the weekend.
[u]Summary[/u]: The emphasis is focused on connection quality. There are still minimal filters in place to shield the casual from the hardcore. The technical quality of the match is our primary concern.
[b]Damage Referee[/b] is also online. Players with poor connections will not enjoy a tactical advantage - quite the opposite in fact.
Get in there and play. Let us know how it feels. We know you will anyway, but we wanted to let you know that we're taking the things you say and putting them into practice.
Game on!!!

3 RepliesMy thoughts exactly about damage referee.Seemed as though if your team was playing well,in popped DR and you couldn't kill shit until the scores were basically equal again.

Edited by PSMedri: 3/2/2016 7:33:40 PMI, personally, did not enjoy IB this last weekend. Were I to guesstimate, I would peg 1 in 5 matches as being enjoyable. "Enjoyable" is a measurement of ((skill vs skill) vs overall connection) I felt very frustrated, as did many of my peers that I teamed with.

3 RepliesEveryone complaining... And with reason, always had problems, But now is worst then ever. Everyone i know still playing destiny had problems like Never in IB and specially in trials... How is it possible to have so many People getting the rabbit and other errors during a trials match? If it was Just me, ok, maybe my net had some issues, But 8 out of 10 complain about the same... I am Green in a match, start to see delay, we are like: someone is lagging now, we look, oh it is me with Red bar, Error, back in game, dead, no special ammo... Happens in another 2 rounds, then green for the next 2 3 matches, then same issues again.

Ahhh the matchmaking was all over the place, had some really awesome matches midweek but by the weekend it was stomp or being stomped! Experienced terrible lag a few times, saw some teleporting and invincible dudes at times... my connection is not bad, I am positive about it. The rift iron banner felt a bit better. Only got a team of 3 or more twice and one time our team of randoms grouped so well that we even got the match. Very few last word-1000 yard stare combos out there so I was happy to see that. I don't know why high skill players complain about how the matchmaking affects the game, I guess that it is because it does not allow them to wipe out teams or something.... most 295-305 average light skill players actually seem to benefit from it and personally I hate it when the other team is absolutely terrible! On a different topic, drops were awful this time. I spent a lot of time in the IB, a lot and got two iron companion helmets, three iron companion gauntlets and one sniper (with a ok roll) saw three ships drop, one ghost and one rocket launcher. Last time my rank 5 packet dropped a 311 Nirwen's, this time no weapon. Matchmaking can improve... the drop NEED to improve.

1 ReplyFrom reading the less than .01 percent of positive posts out of 6000+ posts I can only imagine how glorious it must be to be on the lucky side of this mess and melting highly disadvantaged opponents in record time. I'd probably write a disingenuous positive post myself in an attempt to trick Bungie into thinking that everything is cool now.

Enough is enough day 1 player not coming back this is garbage

Played crucible after dumbass Derek and dumbass Lars made the dumbass decision to turn up sbmm again. Melee attacks would not kill. Me and a warlock were surprised that we hit each other 3 times until I died. Fire those dumbasses

1 ReplyI spent a lot of time on this vid hope you enjoy

2 RepliesBungie, do us and yourselves a favor and don't ignore this.

screw you Bungie and screw you Deej, how about offering some actual rewards that would raise our light level. . I ran two characters (318 titan + 316 hunter) through rank five and got nothing of value: - two 310 ghosts (I've got a 319) - a 311 sidearm -blam!- you very much
-
2 RepliesThree characters to Rank 5 and no rewards worth having...pretty much a waste of time...

20 RepliesMade a new account with a week trial and it's sad how strong you made SBMM. This was against level 40s with decent weapons and I drop 18-1 as a level 6 with white weapons. Remove SBMM. It hurts the people that play your game the most. Stupid.

Iron Banner was fun, highly competitive this go around. I actually ended up breaking a controller... Woops XD. But the lag happened about 1 out of about 3 games which it was mainly certain players just teleporting and stuff like that.
-
Iron Banner was laggy for me and it has never been laggy for me before. This was the first time that happened.

17 RepliesEdited by NickzOR: 3/2/2016 11:46:40 AMSo like cool.... Bungie are just gonna ignore 6000 replies here in which 95% are negative towards the current state of crucible and not to mention the previous bungie post about matchmaking which had about 5000 post also, 95% of those too were negative towards SBMM and calling out bungie and their bullshit damage referee and supposed CBMM which we all know is not true Thanks bungie, over 10,000 negative replies towards crucible and the state of matchmaking and all you do is ignore it and update us all with some bungie folks patrolling the dreadnaught which has been there for nearly half a year, cheers BUNGIE! <3 I'm gonna screenshot this and post it up again once bungie have completely disregarded/ignored a huge majority of us here and give us a weekly update saying "thanks for all your positive feedback, this iron banner was very successful and crucible matchmaking will stay the same"

1 ReplyI forgot the SBMM force back. Yeah you know your doing great with a random group and you all just, "jive" so to speak. Then wham. Your weapon you been working on for months won't kill worm spawn. Are you kidding me? Tgen the other team wins 5 minutes out buy 85 points. Remember guardian 10065 > 9945. Remember guardian, second is loosing. So not, as amusing as 4 v 4 then the other team just picks up 2 and slaps you. Spawning in enemy held terrain, common. Go bungee

12 RepliesEdited by A Potato: 3/2/2016 3:20:11 AMRecent two matches enemy team: 5 man party 5 man party This is what I have to play against since I've played your game more than most people. Thanks bungie. Spawn into a mercy rule. Thanks bungie. Constant sweaty matches. Thanks bungie. I think I'm done playing this game for good. Everything you have done to pvp since the pulse rifle nerf has just made crucible a downward spiral. What is sad is that I have loved this game. I want to enjoy playing it but it has just gotten to a point to where I can't, mainly because of SBMM. I can never relax and goof off anymore. Last time I'm posting here. Last time I'm playing this game as well unless matchmaking changes drastically. This whole less SBMM in control is a complete lie. All you do is lie. Goodbye. Rant over. I quit. Potato out.

I had my first custom match experience last night, and it was awesome playing with friends. Bump if you want custom matches!

If the federal government was destiny. What you are really being given. It is no longer free to stand in line, you must contribute, to recover ticket. You will be punished for circumstance, (your poor asst dial up get you banned! Freddie!) you must conform. Your skill is not needed, nor your opinion. If we desire it, it will be given. Enjoy!! Participate!! Be Happy!! Remember Guardian, "become legend". CBMM counter balance provided free of charge. Please remember guardian. "Somethings will not always be free." #satire #destinymindcontrol #destinydotgov

4 RepliesI'm of the opinion the SBMM works like this.... First five games matched against ppl that are way above your skill set = 5 losses. 2nd set of five games matched against ppl that are way below your skill set = 5 walk over wins 3rd set of five, back to the elitists for an ass wooping. 4th set of five, back to being the one doing the ass kicking. This is how my IB Worked out, anyone else find this? Oh and the drops where utter trash, out of all the games played I got maybe 3 items but all below 290 light.

Matchmaking was mostly hit, but in a fireteam of 6 clanmates it was hit or miss. The misses were huge as well. Teleporting guys, no hit detection (damage referee???), and deaths from out of nowhere. I have 150 mb service and usually get handed lead from my friends because of this fact. I average at a minimum 70-80 up and down with the whole family using internet so I know this issue is not on my end. Also, I have friends that have extremely bad internet and they could tell when damage referee was being applied as others of us in the fireteam were having no issue. As far as drops were concerned, I got absolutely nothing of use and it was sparse and stingy. My three rank 5 packages were dismal as well. Still no 320 ghost (except my freebie from Crimson Doubles), but at least I was able to buy the sniper and rocket launcher that were baller! So a big thanks there Bungie!! Here's hoping for Control next time... And much better drops as well... Keep this train moving in the right direction please.
