Do you have Pvp Lag?

Yes

4499

No

1320

Dear Bungie, it seems that almost every Pvp game i play has Lag. Whether it be enemies teleporting all over or the inability to even damage anyone. To the times when you kill someone THEN they die, or the more subtle postmortem melee kills. Please work on your servers.

  • Yes, its bloody awful. Obviously it has to do with their servers, I run everything fine on Battlefield and mother multiplayer games with no issues. Nothing like dying from a deadman's bullets.

    • Did 3 melee strikes in a row on an opponent last night and her shield never moved. Happened multiple times, either there was lag or there were super guardians in the crucible yesterday

    • Most of the time, I can have solid matches, but then you get the matches where your connection is just terrible for no reason.

      • For 3 days now, "Contacting Destiny Servers" has replaced "Lag"... I wish I was still just dealing with Lag.

        • Always at least one person on the opposing team bouncing all over and Melee killing me from 20 ft away. They usually end up with 5000+.

        • I do sometimes. When I stayed at my uncles house the net was pretty bad and I couldn't play a game without havering a red bar. Now I'm out my uncles I no longer have that issue but I get the red bar from time to time, so I won't say everyone that has a red bar and is on top has a lag switch. That's just people being butthurt, I do think they should implement dedicated servers tho.

          • My last match on iron banner I played last night I had red bar connection. I couldnt be touched, I went 36 and 5. Just absolutely destroyed, but I know it was only cause I was lagging ppl couldnt see me or something cause I really wasnt getting shot at. Im sure they were raging lol. But hey it was my best match yet!

            • I sometimes put a full clip into a guy while he's doing the same. Turn console off, go to bed then a few hours later I get 100 points.

              • Some postmortem kills are sweet, roughly 5%. The rest are horrible.

              • Part of the issue is the fire team system. As far as I know I can join a fire team with a friend who has the most shoddy connection in the world, we can then go into the crucible and it might take a while, but eventually a "match" will be found. Now, either a host gets found which we both connect to equally badly, or (more likely) my friend gets treated as being an outlier by the ping filter and piggybacks into a match with me where everyone else has excellent connections (their super bad connection being the only thing dragging the average ping down). Now, unless there is some way to control who can join fire teams together then this issue will plague PVP forever in Destiny. I personally think that they won't be able to control fire teams as the console manufacturers are pretty strict about things like people being able to play with all their friends, and they have pretty loose requirements on connection stability so I expect it would be hard to justify excluding them on connection basis. They also have requirements that restrict the amount of dead time or loading screens that you see, so simply tightening up the filters and making it so that some fireteams just can't find a match because their collective connection is so poor might also be out. It's a tricky one for sure. I think the only thing that they can realistically do is to shift the correction bias towards the players with the good connection so that lag is no longer an "advantage" and if you have a bad connection it is you experiencing insta deaths and weird looping motion. You have to bear in mind that some people are doing such bizarre things as playing on a console linked to the net using a mobile phone's 3G connection, or using a mobile phone as a wireless hotspot... They should find it impossible to play, not be gifted with a massive bonus.

              • At the start of the last game i played, i saw my teammate skip everywhere. Later that game, i saw someone punch him to death with no effect. And then almost everyone all disconnected from the game and next thing i knew, i was playing with completely different people than i was just playing with in one match.

              • I get lag killed a lot, when I deplete my opponents health and they stay alive for about half a second more just enough to trade. This is the only game I play that this happens in. I play a lot of insurgency on PC and this never happens.

              • I have it sometimes. It was horrible last week. Probably because the kids were still out of school and putting a strain on Bungie's servers. It's been fine the last couple of days since school started back.

              • Today again I needed 4 atempts to just finish the conflict pvp match. This p2p is just oldschool and this netcode sucks anyway. I shoot the whole mag into the enemy and 3 seconds later he finally dies. Beside that bad laggy connection I get kicked out of destiny followed with that weasel crap. Guys its just not possible to play one single pvp match without any interuption. When... when does this game finaly run fine.

                Crucible is p2p. At matchmaking, it will try and find people in similar geographical locations but not always possible... If the host has a crap connection or lives the other side of the world to you, you will almost always have bad latency :-(
