Bungie You are still Painting Red Bars to Green.
Its bullshit.
There are many games that appear as everyone Green Bar and right in the last minute you notice half the people are yellow and someone is red. I call BS. Nothing changed and Bungie is laughing at us all for saying how much of a change we notice when really all they did was make a post saying they changed things.
If you have any significant amount of hours in this game it is super easy to tell when there is connection issues. Its frustrating as hell to try and play a full game thinking you're having an off game because every time you pull out your ghost you see full green bars, but you end up losing battles and exchanges that you know you should be winning. It is very noticeable.
I UNDERSTAND THAT RED BARS HAPPEN. That's not at all what this is about. We have a shrinking (thinking that could change for a bit) player base right now and some playlists will have people playing each other from all over because that's all there is. The point is Bungie very obviously shows Green Bars when that is not the case. Let me see that before I spend 10 minutes losing exchanges that should be won. I don't care about the loot enough to play through a red bar match.
Player: "is there connection issues right now?"
Game: "Nope, every player is connected great!"
Player: *starts to accept they are a scrub.
Shaxx: "30 Seconds Guardians!"
Game: "Oh yeah, there was connection issues that game btw."
Player: "........"
Game: *Rewards Player Mote of Light
Just show the true connection that is all I ask. It feels like Green Bars get slapped over Red Bars to keep people in the games because they would then have the issue of way too many people dropping out of games early.
I still love Destiny because I play mostly PvE. Lets face it though most the community is PvP and it would be cool to see my friends list filled with Destiny again instead of 2 players.

6 RepliesBungie have already said that the bars are not to be trusted. I wish you guys would get over the bars... https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/44307/7_This-Week-At-Bungie--02042016 "The connection bars we show in-game are designed to give you a moment-to-moment idea of how good or bad each player's connection is to all other players in the game (not to our servers). There are many factors that go into determining your color on the coded scale. Even if your own connection is the best it can be, terrible performance elsewhere on the Internet can still compromise your experience. When you see a red or yellow bar next to somebody’s name, it indicates problems with their average connection to other players (and usually to you, too). " [b]TL;DR[/b] - The bars mean jack shit.
