Whether some guardians want to admit it or not the simple fact of the matter is that Destiny's crucible is not on a dedicated server. This means that people CAN lag switch, lag switches are super easy and CHEAP, and if you put a motivation to cheat, people will cheat. Any multiplayer game out long enough eventually gets flooded with lag switchers, it's just a fact of life.
Here's the issue, this will ruin Trials of Osiris and in a game mode as important as that with so much at stake for the Guardians in game but also for Bungie and Destiny in general they can't afford to have that experience ruined by a single guy in a match or team with sudden red bars glitching all over the map.
I just want to get this thread popular enough so that Bungie notices it (since we can't comment on news anymore. I just want a response out of them that they know about it and will stay on top of it by punishes those that do it (they can tell).
Have you experienced lag switching in Crucible (especially Iron Banner). Basically you're unloading a full clip into a guy but he doesn't die, all the sudden your dead and he's glitching halfway across the map and he's the only one with a red bar.
Edit: I added a video example of some lag switching for those confused on what it looks like. Notice how you get melee'd from across two walls and a pipe even the shield had started to recharge already. Then the guy glitches around after and he is the only one with a red bar.

Well, I see a pretty significant lag storm right there. Generally I keep a firewall guarding my server programmed to keep out lagging bugs. Runs on an old Cookie base and works okay for my purposes. Am I invisible, invincible mofo who can survive who can beat down a Titan in an Armor of Light bubble? No. I die. On a consistent basis. But as long as I at minimum put you in the red, I'm happy. Lag storms are sometimes an issue, but I do a simple thing called focus on that poor bastard. Lag switching has its limits, so you get a full skirmish team to surround and beat the hell outta him. Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about but it works every time. Any time I hear lag proclaimed, I find and commence the test with 3 possible results. 1. Fight and murder that son bitch, thus proving killable 2. Fight and lose but due to superior weapon or skill, thus still killable, just damn hard 3. Fight and see lag, call said team, and punish him for his sins until naught remains but ash. Possibly overload the switch causing a back rinse and he drops out or JUST LEAVE THE NEXT MATCH

2 RepliesHasn't seen lag switching. But I've only been playing a little over two months, but I totally agree with you.

3 RepliesUntil dedicated servers are in every single region, no, this is not a good idea. Sure, it's all fine and dandy for Americans to have dedicated servers, but what will happen to the rest of the playerbase? We'll all be playing with upwards of 100ms+ ping all game, every game. Dedicated servers are not a fun experience for anyone who is not very near to the country hosting the server. I myself am an oceanic player. For me, unless a dedicated server is located in Australia, peer-to-peer will ALWAYS be preferrable over the usual ~250ms ping that happens when we play a game that has dedicated servers hosted in the USA. So yeah. Unless dedicated servers will be hosted in literally every region, peer-to-peer with regional filters (what they're currently implementing for Trials) will ALWAYS be prefferable.

1 ReplyI still don't know what lag switching is. Can someone explain please

If you watched the Trials Twitch reveal, the said your team would be matched up against a team with the most compatible connection. They do not want lag or getting kicked to be an issue.

Yea we need it on a dedicated server

1 ReplyThe matchmaking for teams against teams it going to be based of of connection to the other team so it will be harder to do it in ToO

2 RepliesIf it's on a specific server you know how easy that would be to DDOS

Bungie is incapable of making dedicated servers. That is why they are bringing up "connection recovery" and "skill based matchmaking". It's all a load of crap.
