So, I recently joined a match in The Iron Banner on Shores of Time. When I spawned, there were no players, weapon drops, and control points. I could still see the call-outs ([_____] killed [_____], point [____] secured, etc.) though. Out of curiosity, I stood at the location of one of the control points for a short bit. To my surprise, I captured it. I pretty much spent the round going from point to point, capturing them. Ended up winning the match too. It was rather strange.
Side note: I almost exclusively play skirmish due to the servers' horrible stability, for smaller matches tend to have more stable connections. Also, I think this is perhaps the second time I've ever played control on Shores of Time; map rotation in this game is atrocious. As a result, I didn't know exactly where to stand for point C (doesn't help that I couldn't see the points either).

Just logged about 40 hours into banner this week getting my warlock to rank 5 and my titan to rank 4. Still need to get my Hunter to rank 4 for class items. The struggle is real, also, I've experienced multiple instances of this but it usually went away within a few seconds. Sidenote: I really don't play PvP, so please don't rate me based on my KDR, I am just playing for the vanity items, that is all. Well that and the lottery weapons, that reroll ability at Lord Saladin is pretty bad ass!

Edited by EmoSceneRawrXD: 2/23/2015 4:14:57 AMI was actually in a Clash match on Rusted Lands once where I couldn't see anyone. Not only that, but in the kill feed, the spaces for names were blank and the weapon icons were the icon you see when either somebody kills themselves or gets killed by one of those objects that explode when you shoot them. I also don't recall hearing the sound of the Hive Seeder... Which is not a bad thing. I could get heavy ammo, though, and when I aimed Truth one time, I heard the lock-on sound, shot, and got a kill. Huh.

-gets stuck on the respawn scene- - YOU'VE LOST THE LEAD - enemy gets a 2000 point lead - - still stuck on respawn- - YOU'VE LOST CONTROL OF ALL FLAGS - - enemy takes 6000 point lead - - finally respawns- - you've got one minute left - ARE YOU -blam!-ING SERIOUS !
-
This happened to me as well. It brought me from my alternate dimension into the real Iron Banner match after a short period though. I felt like the vex were playing tricks on me. Tossing me into a different time stream.
-
Lag.. This happens to me at the tower, no vendors, no bots, NOTHING like a freaking Ghost town.
-
Played a round of Salvage one time where we could disarm our own points. Won the game super fast. Was hilarious.
-
This happened once when I entered the tower. No vendors or anything.
-
I would've been curious to see if you could go outside of the kill timer boundaries. Just popped into my head for some reason.
-
Dang that's a big bug they need to fix that before other players do that
-
Bro, what if everyone was just using Hunters with invis, Don't Touch Me gauntlets, and Patience and Time?
-
Reported.
-
I remember going into a control match once and for the first one or two minutes we couldn't see the enemy team. We were just capping points and running. All of a sudden they appeared and action ensued. The killfeed was also entirely empty up to that point.
-
This exact thing happened to me and my squad once. It was crazy. There were no flags and no enemies. Come on Bungie.... what's up with stuff like this?
-
Hmm I've never heard of this one
-
Since you realized it, why didn't you capture more zones!? Hahaha, don't know why but it was bothering me
-
LoL is anyone else really frustrated by how inefficient he is at capping the flags? I don't know why it should matter, but it really bothered me.
-
Ah the exo, tell me, did you find what you seek?

Edited by Hairy_Beans: 2/21/2015 8:31:41 PMHappened to me last night in vog, whole team vanished and I could see I was cleansing them but couldn't see anyone. Its what's technically know as a fcked game server.
-
Click bait... No thanks kid.
-
A lot of stalled respawns going on today in rumble too. Several times, for at least a minute per match where everyone was gone, no alerts as to who killed who happening, etc. It is definitely weird when you're the only one around for stretches of time.
-
Everyone was a Hunter.
-
There was a glitch that happened to my team on Firebase Delphi where nobody on my team spawned for like a minute. So the other team was free to go cap the points in the middle of the match with no resistance while we all stayed dead.
-
Lol thats great. The other team must've been pissed
-
That's pretty weird. Rather Planet of the Apes esque, is anybody out there?! I've had lag issues but never that bad luckily. Although I do remember a few matches where my team was capturing a point and all of a sudden the zone was contested but I couldn't see an enemy opponent. Maybe it was something like this happening, we got "fantom of the opera"d.
-
This happened to me once but everyone appeared after a few minutes.
