And for anyone questioning whether this would help, I'll leave this here:

And for me my xbox and monitor is in a box that opens up kind of like a laptop. I usually play in various different fast food joints. McDonald's is my favorite for when I play trials[/quote]
With [b]that[/b] Live name? You can't make this sh*t up, lol.
Edit 2:
A couple of points of general education, since it seems necessary:
Bandwidth isn't an indicator of a good, stable connection. Just because you can get the same mbps from your router without the lan cable, doesn't mean the connection quality is identical. (Besides, Destiny requires a negligible amount of data throughput, ~1 mbps, according to Bungie. Unless you live in the stone age, even your mobile phone gets that.)
[b]Latency[/b], [b]jitter[/b], and [b]packet loss[/b], are much more important for gaming. And all of these can suffer greatly on a wifi connection where wifi saturation and interference is a problem.
Edit 3:
"SBMM blah blah blah..."
The game currently uses CBMM during the initial search, and only switches to SBMM bias if it can't fill the lobby within a set time. Could it wait longer before switching? Yes. Does that mean it will fill the lobby? Not necessarily.
A lot of the time, you're being matched with players outside your region, because there's no one inside your region, trying to play the same gametype at the same time. Bungie can't magic up players that don't exist.
Knock it off.

Buy one of these [url]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=powerline+data+adapter&sprefix=powerline+data+adapter%2Caps%2C336[/url]. Thank me, (or anyone else that suggested them in this thread - enough people have,) later.
Original post:
Would almost immediately fix:
- the vast majority of rock bottom red bars, per region local.
- simple self-flooding via streaming (on anything but the absolute poorest of connections.)
- wifi interference.
It would also:
- reduce the effectiveness of DDoS.
- reduce the effectiveness of LAN fireteams that attempt to induce lag on the fireteam leader client.
It won't prevent actual lag-switching, but that's easy enough for Bungie to detect these days.
This isn't something that needs doing for PvE, but definitely something that should be brought in for Crucible. The more people forced to learn about how the internet works, the better gaming conditions in multiplayer titles in general.

I could hardwire if I want to, but I have no need too since I rarely if ever red bar or have connection problems. It all depends on your ISP, location [i]as well as[/i] if you're are wireless or not. It's not just wireless, it's a multitude of factors that play into your connection.
-
Try remote play via xperia with McDonald WiFi. It's awesome, but hey. Game any where, any time!
-
Wireless here. Checked it 36 up 9 down 50 ms 0% packet loss In colorado and from my understanding xbox checks with the server in seattle. Not too bad

2 RespuestasI live in the heart of DC with the best available Internet and my Xbox is hard wired to my modem. Sometimes I red bar in crucible. It's not always in your power to keep from red barring in crucible matches. Sometimes it's the host of the crucible match and your distance or maybe it's more about the way Destiny's multiplayer works. I never lag when I play other games even when on my computer that's wireless.
-
The Xbox in my house has a wired connection. I got the short end of the stick lol. But my connection is fine despite being on wifi. If I ever red bar it's because my niece has 20,000 YouTube tabs open when she visits.
-
1 RespuestaSometimes McDonald's is peoples only option. I travel a lot, so it is convenient for when I'm on the road.
-
2 RespuestasI use the best Internet I have I go to McDonald's with my ps4 and 19 inch TV set up shop and eat french fries and get free refills all day

2 RespuestasPretty sure there was a poll about this a couple of months ago. Turns out there are more people on WiFi than wired in thus game, I use wired but tried wireless visiting family at Xmas. It was awful, laggy, glitchy, I played 1 match and decided I would wait till I was back home.
-
3 RespuestasI'm on a wired connection. But its like everyday after 9pm, I get thrown straight into red bars every Crucible game. PvE works perfectly fine, can go green with anyone strikes partner me up with. But I go into Crucible, and everyones flying across the screen and bullets are halting mid-flight.

4 RespuestasWhat if youz a PIMP that uses hotel wifi? Pimp gotta play too homie
-
Literally going to unplug my cat6 cable and gonna stream hbo go, netflix 4k, and a 4k youtube video filmed in the raingorest because that shit looks good af...for shaxx bounties.

7 RespuestasIf only I could put a wireless AC card in my ps4 ^_^
-
I do have a wired connection. I still managed to have difficulty at times, nothing I can do about it.
-
8 Respuestasmhmmm plays cod for an hour, all is fine no lag......plays destiny lag on first game, you going to tell me that it's my "WIFI" when one game work's perfectly fine and the other is laggy, no that is down too servers not interent
-
8 RespuestasMakes whining post just because he sucks ass at pvp 1.0 kd and 0.9s on his other characters what do you get boned by lag then go to the forums and bitch about it uncool dude
-
I think more importantly, you should have to pass a quiz on just how the networking on this game works. So many blatant misconceptions and conspiracy theories flying around over networking and matchmaking works...
-
1 RespuestaBungie implemented connection base matches and everything was really good in pvp...they switch to skill base and now you are playing people with bad connections. Conclusion is they must implement a connection + skill base match making But guess what...the search for matches take forever...and you ll be paired with the same players all the time. Connection base match making is the way bungie should lean towards

16 RespuestasEditado por VitaI: 5/23/2016 1:25:47 AMYou need some education on the internet man. Wired connections are great and all but when my xbox is over 100 feet from my router how can I wire that? And yes I have a 50 foot ehternet cable but I have a signal booster in my room so my download is 100 wired and only 95 wireless which isn't a big difference enough to affect a crucible game. Not everyone can have a wired connection. Oh and I've played thousands on thousands of halo games with wireless Internet and never experience lag such as in this game. Bungie just needs to fix there system
-
1 RespuestaI wish Sony AND Microsoft had removed WiFi chips from current gen consoles from the start. WiFi was not meant for gaming. It will never be meant for gaming no matter how many stickers that NightHawk has on its box. Nothing that unnecessarily increases latency will ever be suitable for gaming.
-
2 RespuestasI'm not going wired because my internet is perfect. I didn't read the whole thread cause there is no point. I have the best wireless internet I can get in Knoxville.
-
1 RespuestaZero ways to monitor and regulate this.
-
5 RespuestasActivision should copy wargaming.
-
that will only fix the problem a bit, but not enough that everybody will buy an ethernet cable just so they can get a bit less bad connection
-
11 RespuestasEditado por sdfgtty67: 5/23/2016 1:57:47 AMIts bungies fault for making it so laggers have an advantage. In every other game the lagger would be at a disadvantage. Just bungie trying to give the world a big hug. All the noobs get SBMM advantage. All the laggers get red bar god mode. Blame these bungie Muppets

1 RespuestaYou expect constructive critics on the Destiny forum?! Fck off :D Go to #Feedback if you want to change something.
