[PS4] Impossible to play Iron Banner due to severe connection issues.

I keep getting kicked out of games due to connection issues and now I just entered a game where there were neither zones nor could I see the other players but I kept getting notifications about zones being captured. I've not had any of these issues in the past and my internet is fine when I play other games or browse the web. Is anyone else having these issues? When I checked players' connections, they were all in the red, myself included.

    I was playing iron banner and I couldn't get a single kill even with a shotgun at close range. The game even reset my kills during a match after I got a [i]baboon [/i] error so I ended up going from eight kills to one kill.

  • Had the same problem here on XBOX One. The last 3 Iron Banner's were fine for me but this one was an absolute joke. I only managed to get to lvl 3 this time so was unable to get the Titan helmet which was the last piece of armour I needed. It's nice to see that Bungie are still blaming the players for connection problems. Still don't understand why a game like Destiny doesn't have it's own dedicated pvp servers. Disgraceful Bungie.

    • hey bro, i cant really say a lot but please try this: Disconnect your coax cable (assuming its cable) over night. Try and give yourself a NEW IP.

    • Hi all, I'm really sorry to hear about the connection issues people are having with Iron Banner this week. We're constantly investigating ways in which we can improve connectivity for players, and hearing about your troubles is of course the first step in that process. I wanted to make sure that you were all aware of a couple of things regarding network connectivity in Destiny: Destiny utilizes a lot of P2P connections, so it's important to remember that one player's poor quality connection can impact other players in a match. This is why it's important to make sure that your network is optimized for Destiny's connections - in particular configured for Type 1/Open NAT - so that there is the best chance to compensate for poor network conditions. Check out our [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/11930]Network Troubleshooting Guide[/url], giving special attention to the NAT, UPnP, and Packet Loss sections, to find out how to configure your network for optimal performance in Destiny. We're constantly investigating reports of network connection issues and will continue to work on improving the gameplay experience for all our players. Good luck and good hunting, Guardians!

      • Same problem but only from Friday pm. I'm assuming it's partly due to the fact that it's a holiday long weekend here in UK and the weather's not great so a lot of gamers online? In the matchmaking bit in orbit all players are showing good green connection bars but when the game starts most of them turn red or yellow I'm wasting shotgun ammo firing at players who are already dead but the lag hasn't caught up yet!.

      • Yeah this is bullsh!t. They better extend Iron Banner if this persists. I am -blam!-ing 5 matches away from rank 5 and I'll be livid if I can't do that.

              • Same issue...keep getting thrown out. Either it says "Partner services disconnected" or caterpillar or newt. Can't do any strikes and no matchmaking- keeps sending me into strikes alone
