Bungie, quit sending me error codes telling me the problem is my network. It’s not. I can play any other online, multiplayer, or cooperative game I have without lag or disconnects. I can stay in Battlefield with 64 players on the map with no issue. I can stream Netflix or Hulu in HD with no problems. But I cannot play Destiny without getting shot through walls or teleporting enemies (PvP and PvE).
I’m beginning to think the “Contacting Destiny 2 Servers” banner along the bottom of the screen is a permanent addition with Forsaken. Then I get booted and receive an error code. It doesn’t matter what error code it is, the explanation of it if I look it up is always the same. Basically, your codes say it is on my end.
The best is when I’m in a party and get kicked and Destiny tells me I lost connection to my network. If that is true how am I still connected to my party?
The common denominator for laying and disconnecting is Destiny. If you used the same glass to drink juice and tea and only got sick if you drank tea any sane person would blame the tea not the glass.
Edit after reading some responses: I truly appreciate that some people are willing to help me set up my network. That is a very nice offer. It appears that maybe some games behave similarly (Rainbow Six?) but I don’t play them so I’m basing this off games I play. My main point is that if my connection works good for other games there is no reason why it shouldn’t work for Destiny unless there is something wrong with Destiny. Yet, Destiny error codes blame it on my connection. I should not have to reconfigure my network to be different when I play Destiny vs. other games. There is a problem with the way Bungie delivers Destiny to its players. The problem is on the developer’s end, not mine. They should quit acting like it is my problem. If other AAA developers can produce something that allows me to stay connected Bungie should just steal their ideas.
Ubisoft should send a thank you note to. Bungie. I was going to wait to give AC Odyssey until it has been out for a while but I pulled to trigger on a pre-order today. I know it doesn’t impact the Bungie bottom line because I already bought Forsaken but I don’t want to continue with unreliable access to a game I tend to enjoy.
Edit 2: I love the responses that say it is my internet because of the way connections are configured. No. It’s not my internet. At that point it is the way the connection is configured. My connection is still good the method to connect to other players is bad.
Edit 3: For F sake, read some of the other responses. I don’t have my PS4 on WiFi. It’s hard wired to the modem and there is nobody on my network but me and I don’t run anything else while I play because I’m playing, not watching videos.

It's not you, it's their atrocious connection system. If you play crucible it's SPECIALLY obvious. You play during high EU (for me as I'm based in EU) times and there's no problems, you're not doing great but nothing feels off. Then you decide to play a Friday like today for example, and your name appears as killed by "x" before even you see the opponent on screen or your health going, and you wiff everything. It's not you, it's a massive peeker's advantage for anyone based in north america, because they have this hideous monstruosity of a network system, with no allowed ping limiters. I would personally rather play one game every 10 minutes with people that can be damaged, without getting annihilated by ghosts and no regs. Only option available is to play when you know you'll get hosted and matched by people from around your location (or hate yourself and keep getting destroyed through walls, by nobody, etc).
