I’m posting this because I genuinely feel like I’m losing my mind playing comp. I just played a guy that was literally faster than any human being could react to. Like it was obvious this person’s console was receiving data faster than everyone else’s in the lobby.
Now I consider myself a fairly competent player. Before going and murdering my k/d for this Luna’s Howl quest I averaged around a 2.0 eff. But since I have been in comp boy oh boy the shenanigans I have seen.
Hunters have moon bounced and disappeared into orbit on Stomp33s, my shotgun will literally miss someone entirely at point blank range while simultaneously letting them kill me an instant later, my guns have stopped shooting as I’m pulling the trigger mid gunfight, unloaded Trust in faces only to watch them die a full 2 seconds later, the list goes on and on.
I say all that to say this. Bungie I swear to God on everything I love I’m not purchasing another Destiny game after this if it doesn’t have dedicated servers. I can’t... I -blam!-ing can’t do this again. I love this game. I love feeling like a space badass, but after playing Destiny since year one I still have no clue how truly good I am at this game. When I lose I’m not sure if it’s because I’m bad. And when I win I’m not sure it’s because I’m good. An individual’s connection to the host can completely alter a match that much.
I don’t have this problem in other games I know exactly how good I am in Overwatch. I know exactly how bad I am at twitchy shooters like Titanfall. You guys tried to make PvP into Overwatch, but missed because the game will never be taken seriously as an esport without having rock solid connections. Weapon and class balance not withstanding.
I know my little $60 bucks might not move the needle but I’m sure there are countless other players that feel the exact same way.

It won't have servers and it's likely to release at or close to the same state D2 released. In D2 I didn't buy the base game, but I did buy the season pass. It somewhat had my attention. D3 I'm going to try to ignore anything that has to do with the game and won't buy anything. No servers no, solo egc, bad progression, bad matchmaking, time gated bullshit, I'm done.

1 ReplyDestiny 3 will release a hollow game just like d2 probably and all we will hear is “the team at bungie have realised we made a mistake. The D2 team had no communication with the D3 team and because D3 has been in production for a while all the mechanics and game modes are completely different. We will now proceed to spend the next year catching up to where d2 was”

Considering they're going to abandon Destiny 3 for Destiny 4 and make everyone pay another $300 per those titles. Most likely never gonna happen.

Don't know why it doesn't now. Guess game doesn't make enough money.

6 RepliesIt won’t though. As long as Bungie is with Activision you will never see dedicated servers.

More like dedicated Servitors!

Edited by gethyn007: 10/14/2018 7:54:23 PMCould not agree more. Been playing since D1 launch, and the connection issues have always been the #1 problem imo. For years, I’ve been sick to death of seeing the exact same things you described. It never gets fixed, so these days I don’t even do pvp in Destiny and ignore or dismantle all pvp related bounties and quests. Such a shame. Never seem to have these problems with pvp in other games. Plus, I really wish they’d do away with any sort of fishy, ‘balancing’ algorithms as well. All I want is good matchmaking as far as connections, skill level, and team composition, but yes, connections are top priority. Would gladly take less pvp modes and/or longer que times if it meant legit pvp.

Many said that about D2...Oh wait maybe that is where the player base went.

Bungie would need another 1/2 billion dollars from Money Bags.

Bungle and Activegreedvision are too greedy, as it would lower their profit to waste money on that, when fools even pay 100's of dollars for cosmetic masks and ghosts ghosts^^ LMFAO!^^ All D3 will be is a money grab cash machine...but the best is, you won't miss D1 + D2, because 90% of ALL items will be there again^^ so, you can happily farm midas, sleepers etc for the 5th, 7th or 10th time^^ and you will be glad to see that some of the blue armor that you loved now coming back as legenday hahahaha^^ The bad thing is, you will need 1 year and $120 to get back to the game where it's playable again, after being a crap, being turned into D1 again^^

6 RepliesDestiny 3 shouldn't exist, neither should 2 for that matter. Destiny should've been the 10 year journey we were promised.

Yeah this game sucks

11 RepliesDedicated servers aren't going to change anything big picture. The players closest to said servers are going to have the lowest latency and players further out are going to be at a disadvantage. Maybe you'd have a better experience based on where you live and maybe you wouldn't.

The same Dedicated servers Titanfall 2 had? No thanks.

1 ReplyI’m not a pvp player. I do it for friends or for engrams or quests. Otherwise I avoid it. I play on a lan line but on a large tv. That puts me at a disadvantage. It’s double if I’m against someone on a monitor. Add in skill and a controller with paddles or a keyboard/mouse and the gap widens. Still I notice that from D1 to D2 Forsaken, I’ll play a match and some opponents will be on top of the board (25-30+ kills and 3.0+ KD) but I can’t kill them but they kill me in a heartbeat. They Tbag and dance. Then next match I kill them easily and the scoreboard shows them at the bottom.

and a new game engine that they can edit so update come out every week instead of every year.

12 RepliesIs there anyone here who knows that dedicated servers aren’t always perfect and aren’t always a good thing?

I can’t even get Luna’s Howl perk to proc because of lag I land the headshots end up killing them THEN the perk activates and nobody’s around to shoot 😂
