Awful connection handling/matchmaking

Played a few games of crucible last night thinking I could have a bit of fun.. In each and every one, there was a person able to kill me from a distance or in a time they couldn't normally with that weapon (1 shotted by TLW, sniped by a hawkmoon, shotgunned from across a room, sniped long after I'd ran into cover, fusion rifled mid blink). Essentially, being killed when you are 100% certain that you couldn't have been killed that way (if the connection was stable and without latency. These just say to me that we aren't where we think we are in the host's game, be it lag smoothing or just simple latency, it's the only reason I will ever get a negative K/D. This is the reason I'm going to stop playing PVP, this is the reason the majority of my clan have already done so. We all have really good connections with a tiny amount of ping, and we constantly end up in games where there's at least one person who consistently has the drop on you, even if you fired first, with an outperforming weapon and hit every shot. It's a fantastic game, the PVP is really fun when we don't have this issue, but it's happening so much that it's putting us all off playing now. Destiny.. it's not us, it's you.

  • It just takes 1 person with high ping to screw it up for everybody. I really wish there was a way to put ping limits on servers and group pings together more but with having networking background I know it would be near impossible with the net in A LOT of areas and countries. The U.S. doesn't actually have as good of internet as people think we do and we are actually WAY behind several other countries.
