So me and my husband have being playing the Iron Banner when we have noticed people using lag switches to cheat.
Usually, a shotgun is one to to shots for a kill. My husband just put 9 shots in someone (he's level 33) with a maxed party crasher and the guy didn't die.
He also hit a guy with 2 shots from a maxed gjallarhorn didn't die and then melee killed my husband, and then danced on his corpse after he did it.
We have also noticed people disappearing and reappearing all over the maps.
This has been happening for the passed 90 matches and something needs to be done.
For people that don't know what a lag switch is, just google it .
Please feel free to name and shame people that are using lag switches and get Deej to have a look at it.
By the way this is on Xbox One

I always had issues but always came out on top in IB, tell him to get a Felwinter's Lie, best shotgun tbh, just buy it when it's available:)
-
Your husband got the most wackest shotgun anybody could get , dismantled like 20 of those no lie. He needs to get felwinters lie
-
I have had the same problem. Can't kill people that are level mid 20's with two shots at point blank range. I've also unloaded my Thorn on people and they don't die.

It was awful on PS4 as well.

Edited by WillyIm: 9/1/2015 12:21:02 PMAs far as the cheaters .. worthless people, if this is the only way they can accomplish something, I feel sorry for their worthless lives. In one match I had a Titan that would walk out of a wall blow you away with a shotgun and then backed into the wall again ... before I respawned myself I watched him do it again to another player on my team. Another match I we had three guys shooting a BladeDancer ... never effecting her health and then she killed us all with just a regular Melee. Another match ... three of us rushing a control point, shooting the opposing player, he disappears, pops back and Nova Bombs us. On another match I hit an opposing player 3 times with my Wolves Bane from short distance .. he disappeared and popped back on my left and killed me be for I could react. Non of this is from server problems! This is a game to have fun in ... why are they so desperate that it is so important to win? If they are willing to or need to cheat in a make believe game to have some kind of "feel good" for themselves then they most likely cheating and doing crap things in real life ... yyippy for them ... best accomplishment in there life ... High score in Criuible!

Edited by Sgt lacruss : 9/1/2015 11:32:24 AMStopped playing crucible and game altogether. Although Lag switches are not always the case, due to host based BS system. I'd say shooting anyone with party crasher (maxed) definitely sounds like lag switch. For a complete year I along with the rest of you year one players waited for Bungie to pop some cash on dedicated servers (never happened). I found a few things that you can try to better your game play, since Bungie refuses to change the basics needed. There IS ALWAYS lag bias one way (team wise) or the other. No match is equal. Find out what TV you are using and there is a lag time for each individual TV. Most 50 inch and below usually the best (gaming monitors are the elite for best lag time). Let me explain, it is time it takes your actions from the control to relay and complete the action on TV. Basically the lower lag time TV will give you the fastest reaction in real game time on TV. There is ALWAYS a delay :/ I started to read into it and it does play a big part in your KD and true gameplay. Even if God willing Bungie decides to properly implement dedicated servers, the person with the lowest lag time TV and/or monitor will have an advantage how ever so slight. In some cases it's major :) over their competitors. As for you and your husbands case, it severely sounds like lag switching :/ with that being said anyone who believe that the game isn't massed with lag switches, your in denial. There are hundreds of videos proving this and with switches being cheaper than an expansion of Destiny, I've have seen more and more of them :/ i.e. Trials. To show you just how cheap they are http://www.bestlag.com I for one loved the game (and just yesterday decided to cancel TTK) and it sadden me that our enjoyment is taken away from host based gameplay and cheaters. Until there is stability I've stepped down from my beloved daily Destiny ritual. I hope one day to return, as I really have waited (since day 1) for the potential (the game really has, no doubts about it) that this whole community has waited for. I hope this post helps you and your husband out, wish you all the best (I have endured your frustration and pain, as we all have). The balls in Bungies court to stabilize and tighten the ship. Hope to see the necessary changes soon and return to a new stabilized battlefield and gameplay. :)

It has got to the stage that I have turned the thing off, 2 team wins in ( i think,) 20 or so matches, shows that something is far far wrong with this PVP stuff and other than my continual clicking of the report button something needs to be done by Bungie to combat this form of cheating.

We don't have a bad connection otherwise everyone would be lagging. Our broadband speed is 40MB fibre broadband. I do know the difference. When all the other players are running smoothly and there's a couple disappearing a reappearing and you shoot them with weapons like a listed above and nothing happens, you know there's something dodgy. All I wanted was a bit of advice and I got it. We reported the guy that was definately using a lag switch.
-
If it's happened for the last 90 matches ten its your connection, not lag switching...
-
People need to understand the difference between a bad connection and a lag switch. Do you guys really thing everyone who plays a video game is tech savvy enough to cheat?
-
Welcome to Crucible or pvp on any game for that matter. All you can do is report them to Bungie and Microsoft. And usually if that account gets banned, they make a new one. It's an ongoing fight for everybody unfortunately.
-
Report them! Both you and your husband report the guy. I ran into a similar situation yesterday and this morning. These are players that can't play for crap and use technology to make them unbeatable, they need to go.

Same she's it on the ps4! If it's only one or two then not so bad, but when you run into a whole team of them it sucks!
