I am a hardcore player for at least 12 years now and have been highly ranked in different CoD's. FPS are my ONLY thing. But Destiny has been something else from DAY1. There were some CoD's, where i've experienced exactly the same thing.
So i think that the biggest problem in Destiny PvP is latency/ delay/ distance between players. In 95% of all matches, there is one team with the connection advantage. Also mostly a full fireteam. They simply see you appear earlier on their screen. So on their screen they are already shooting, but on your screen you don't even see them yet.
And when you do see them and you start shooting, your bullets don't do normal damage. You miss them on their screens, but you do hit them on your screen. The reason for this is that they are actually standing somewhere else, then on your screen.
In Destiny i often feel like i just bought a gaming console and play for the first time in my life.
But i've also had moments in D1, where i won from highly ranked players with 3+ k/d's, like i was playing against complete noobs.
ALL of my friends (on PS4 and XBox) quit Destiny, because these problems. It's simply too inconsistent. The one match you are a god and the other match you are the biggest noob.

Melees are hugely affected by this as well. Go to melee someone... doesnt connect.... at this point you are dead or about to be... Melee someone dead... they melee you from their dead body 1 full second later... -
Agreed. I don't mind getting crushed by a good team but the way the system works there are clearly preferential lag issues. I come around the corner and get melted meanwhile I put a whole clip in a guy and barely get his shields down. I play against clans in reg crucible and this doesn't happen.

So true

This exactly!

I see these inconsistencies in regular Crucible all the time. What's really weird is that they mostly happen when I run solo against a connected group of four. It almost seems that because of their connection to each other the peer-to-peer design of PvP favors them. In essence they create the strongest connection by their very link to one another. I don't know, I'm not a tech wiz and this is all speculation.

I am opposite. I go in solo, I do better. When I go in with a team, in any style of pvp, I get all the latency.

Inconsistent has always been the best way to describe destiny PvP. D1 and d2
-
its deffo the most inconsistent fps game ive played. feels different every match , even using the same weapons. And as the player base is falling it's getting worse.

Yep, playing against American guys at certain times is totally futile, you’re shooting at ghosts! I love the way your statements always find people who think they’re rubbish, they’re wrong!!

Edited by BruceLee_NL: 1/13/2018 4:17:38 PMThe reasons they think it's rubbish are possibly: 1. They don't experience it (probably, because they are on the good side of latency, themselves) 2. They simply don't understand it, because they don't see/ feel it. 3. They are just trolling
