After several matches (maybe 3 of 9) where more people were invisible than not, I think having Iron Banner while this bug (or is it an exploit) present is a really bad idea.
One quick play match (my first this past Sunday), I think all but 2 or 3 people (myself included) where invisible after about one minute of play.

Day 1 of Banner has almost over. Played 9 matches across three characters and saw NO invisible players. Was there a stealth fix in the Tuesday afternoon server maintenance or (more likely) due to not having any Shaxx crucible bounties in my pursuits (although I did have Drifter and Callus statue crucible bounties)? I guess I'll know for sure when I play again this afternoon with fresh Shaxx bounties.
PS: If the problem is still present (tied to Shax bounties), I hope Bungie follows up on Gadivan991's (https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/252923551?sort=0&page=0&path=1) idea of a new, INVISIBLE emblem to mark participation is this Iron Banner (Season of Nerfs, Invisibility update).

Day 2 of Banner has almost over. Played another 9 matches. Invisibility is back (I had Shaxx bounties this time). Once, I even went invisible. At least I now know the temporary "fix" (open the pursuits tab), although this is a pain due to load times (despite good internet/hard wired and playing Destiny from an SSD). Nothing as bad as the day this past weekend where more people were invisible than not.
Still, Bungie has not been very open about this issue; I find no mention except in an occasion "we are investigating" response to a forum complaint.
Can hardly wait for Solstice of Heroes 2019.. Wonder what they'll break next? Will it be bounty related (more loading issues) or something new altogether?

This is probably the worst Iron Banner since Destiny was launched. Shame on you Bungie.

PvP is a joke

4 RepliesWait, this bug is still happening? Lol, welcome the the brave new world of post-Activision Bungie I guess. I feel like the ability to call in the cavalry with additional dev resources is going to be badly missed in Y3.

Yeah. I can't bother playing Iron Banner with the current state of the game right now. Lord of Wolves is still prominent, despite Bungie saying "we're aware of the problem" during the last Iron Banner. You can outplay LoW, though, so I can still manage. But when the entire enemy force is invisible, yet I, apparently, am not? That's a problem. Especially when it devolves into not even hearing their footsteps either (is that just me or is everyone experiencing that?). -- Bungie, seriously. The quest is trash, LoW is rampant ( [i]again[/i] ), and now people are invisible constantly. I know you have the majority of your workforce working on future content, but you're going to be losing people based on how you're addressing current content issues.

1 ReplyThe crucible is just sooo laggy in general now. I’m on a wired fibre broadband connection

1 ReplyI only had 1 person turn invisible in a match for me last week. And then today in Iron banner, there was entire teams that were invisible. It's playable but it throws off my aim a lot. At one point the glitch/exploit got so bad that my sniper turned invisible and I couldn't even use it anymore, and I didn't even have bounties completed or ready to complete.

The biggest issue is when you get on maps with open sky- specially with bright sunlight. Because then the invis ghost guardians affected by this bug are impossible to see and you kinda have to just predict and pray you hit them if they didn't snipe you already.
-
Nah. That would require caring and work on their part. And we all know "Doing stuff is Hard..." Much easier to ignore the problem and have the CM's pass flowery words of praise on something else unrelated to it. Like another "user" created content montage for the TWAB.

1 ReplyNothing more frightening than being sniped by an invisible hunter with a Beloved.

1 ReplyNah. It will go on as scheduled. But we will receive an emblem to say we were there when the invisible wolves ran wild. They'll just make the emblem invisible too...

To late and no dice.

it was bad enough when it was exclusive to Competetive but in Iron Banner too? aaaaaaaaaaarg.

3 RepliesPSA for every thread on this. If this starts happening, open your pursuits tab and clear completed objectives!

4 RepliesPlayed a few matches last night and I saw few guys using this glitch. It really sucks. You can win the match but the fact of the matter is if you gotta cheat to win you aren't really a good player. 🤷🏾♂️

only had it happen for one match a last week but cause i can aim it was not an issue

4 RepliesNot once i have seen this glitch on xbox.

I can live with invisibility. I just want to finally be able to claim packages and have it progress past 23/50 fo Efrideets gift.

Think crucible is bad, you want to try bf5 , the games has a invisible problem since launch
-
I just got booted out and it was a "Chard" error this time. There are too many errors, interruptions, and lag spikes with this game alone. It's not like this with any other game I load. Now we have invisible opponents. I think the game needs to do a hard evaluation of the current state of its game experience for the players. Concentrate on quality of life changes before adding more stuff. I'm not really sure, maybe there's an influx of players that's why it's like this but it really is bothersome.

I know of the comp bug that won't let you spawn in it happens when you earn a bounty during a match. Turning it in gets you back in.

2 RepliesWhat bug?
-
3 Replieslol, so true...we'll all be in a match and see half the team invis...mean while we're all going to our pursuits tab and clearing out those bounties to fix the bug ourselves.

1 ReplyYip, I’ve just played my third match against invisible opponents.
-
I mean, it’ll literally be exactly how it was in early D1 now

1 ReplyFrom what I have read, isn't this bug more on the player that sees it than anyone else? Meaning if you are seeing invisible people, you are the one experiencing the bug, not those turning invisible. I have read that you can turn in bounties that you are holding or barring that delete a shader to get it to refresh and load properly. Yes, I know this is a stopgap fix, but maybe it can help in your current playing.
