This -blam!- is unplayable 50% of the time. The latency is out of control with cross play. With the amount of money dumped into this game, is there really an honest excuse as to why it’s still peer to peer? Is this 2005?

I think we’ll probably get them if somebody would only write this post one more time. Bungie is just disregarding the 1000+ times this has already been asked for. Next time will be the one for sure,,,,,,,

Oh absolutely it'd be great although, and I'm no game design expert so I may be wrong, but wouldn't it take a stupid long amount of time to prepare to switch a large live service game from its original (all be it garbage) set up? I just can't see bungie putting in the time, effort or money needed to make such a big change to the game as much as it'd improve everyone's experience

17 RepliesJust play halo. We got another beta this weekend. Enjoy the guns, the movement. The fairness and true skill of a arena mode. It’s so much better than cod with space magic that’s been the same since 2014…. Bungee gave up on pvp. My question is, why haven’t you? They’re mocking pvp users on the daily…

2 RepliesThe framerate differences are worse than the network latency, TBH. Don't get me wrong, they are both bad, but the FPS differences are terrible.

3 RepliesThe level of mental gymnastics it takes to defend Bungie's prehistoric mentality on having these cardboard servers is unrivalled.
-
I'm not against them per se, but they arent the silver bullet fix some folks think they are.
-
5 RepliesNever happening. Destiny is built on hybrid host to server to p2p. They tried, they failed, losing millions. Now they make hundreds of millions giving players recycled content and the same old same old maps. Cash cowing is Bungie’s domain of excellence.

Love this forum. Nerd hate at it's finest.

1 ReplyIts a tad laggy in IB, had a few melees not register and had to use a shotgun, note I am terrible with shotguns.

4 RepliesIt's tough to deal with shotgun apes when they are teleporting all over the place. Can we turn cross play off?

Logic should tell you, We’re not getting DS on a game that’s Over half way through its life cycle. PERIOD. OTHER REASONS: The game is BUILT from the ground up on this Hybrid Server System. Meaning they would have to practically rebuild the game from its Foundation. It isn’t just as easy as flipping a switch. That would take an enormous amount of Time, Resources and Money(which would most likely have to get approved by Corporate to even Budget such a task!) Devs don’t just get to do what they want when they want to do something. That’s not how a Multi Million dollar company operates. In others words, This IS NOT HAPPENING FOR D2. Hope it does for D3, if even get a D3.
-
Totally agree, but it's never going to happen. Reason; Bungie won't dip their hands into those increasingly deeper pockets.
-
Nothin better than peek shooting around corners only to get shot behind cover because.. reasons
-
Agree that some of these p2p abusers are breaking the game

2 RepliesI've got 1800+ hours of crucible alone (5000+ on whole D2) and I agree 1000% You know it's been bad for a long time but uhh.. Crossplay didn't exactly "help" the situation. +Today got several error codes in a row during IB. Definitely needs work.

1 ReplyEdited by lllBloodLustlll: 9/29/2021 6:09:10 PMI up voted your post but you are being a tad dramatic. We do need dedicated servers.
-
We need connection based match making
-
It will never happen because this isnt a pvp game
-
Crucible is 4 years old? Makes sense
-
6 RepliesWhy do people think they’re going to completely redo the networking protocols [i]and[/i] spend a gazillion bucks on new servers for a game nearly a decade old?
-
This topic is still vaild today as it has been since Destiny first launched when it was an issue back then
-
Need and what will actually happen are 2 different things. If I remember contractually, Luke Smith said that will not happen, but not in those exact words. [quote] With the amount of money dumped into this game, is there really an honest excuse as to why it’s still peer to peer? Is this 2005?[/quote] You answered your own question. They don't want to dump any more money in this game so with whatever they can get away with, trust me, that is the route they will take.
-
While I don't have latency issues personally I can understand everyone doesn't have the same internet access. So dedicated servers would definitely make sense
-
Agreed. It’s pretty bad.
-
Prior to launch bungie stated that dedicated servers would cost too much money, i doubt their stance has changed.
-
15 RepliesThey would pretty much need to rebuild the game from the ground up and develop an entirely different networking model. That would take a long time. They may be looking at that for whatever comes after “The Final Shape” but I really wouldn’t expect to see that happen before then as their focus is on making more content.
