Having Peer to Peer is a death sentence for sure. Getting past that, remember control and some game types try to match connection based first. Others like Iron banner do not. The easy fix for this is to simply implement a ping system on bungies end. IF the ping is over so many ms, that person is not connected into the game. If their ping goes up in the game, they are removed. However, easy fixes are not bungies thing.

I have gotten around [b]40,000 pvp kills this season alone. [/b] The matchmaking has changed and impacted the game to the point that I have moved on until they decide to fix it. Every single game has rubber banding players from the other side of the world. Every single time I queue solo I stand at the front with a 2.9-3.10, to my left and right are 0.0s. Brand new players. Or the bottom 5%. Enemy team are all average or above. The game is forcing a 50% win/ loss on me. Its punishing me for being above average. The result? Lag. I have a great rig with a lil 3070ti. Wired connection. Fast speeds. Other games run like a dream. Pve in d2 runs fine. Yet I queue into pvp and im forced to sweat and carry vs laggy players because thats how they have decided the experience to be. Not to mention them removing 9 of my favourite maps last year. Its honestly so sad. I dont often post, I love the game. Bungie make great games but Im speechless at the direction of core modes and the direction of pvp the past 2 years. Sandbox changes mean 0 to me when fundamentally, it is punishing me for having a good connection, good hardware and being a good player. I have paid them thousands in silver/ dlcs/ store / 6000+ hours in game across the series/ platforms. What does it get me? It gets me regression in matchmaking, maps, modes, rewards, connection. I pray they fix it in all honesty.

Yup. Sice cross play came in, zero reduction in matchmaking time and exponentially more lagging players. Reported 27 players in last iron banner for poor connections. 1 or 2 in every match jittering around the map taking no damage like overload captains. Usually top fragging players with Asian clan names strangely enough.

Because for most of us, it has gotten dramatically better since crossplay dropped. You might want to check the connection on your end.

I honestly have no faith it'll ever be fixed at this point... laggy people been at a huge advantage for as long as I can remember back in D1. Probably has something to do with how their servers are configured or how the hit reg is coded or something.

Something about PS players that piss me off cus they're constantly looking like taken thralls in pvp

Agreed. It's especially infuriating hitting an enemy directly with an explosive, and then watching them teleport and kill you.

Tbh I don’t get all the complaints about the connections. I have good internet. I rarely see lag. It’s like one lagging player once every 10 games. If you have lag on a regular basis you might want to check your connection before you blame others.

The only way Bungle can resolve this is to finally ditch their Halo era 2008ish Peer to Peer Network and implement Regional Dedicated Host Servers. But they won't. Bungle is simply hoping to keep Destiny people paying and playing with no changes until 2025, when they will release their new Matter IP.

Tbf if you are serious about PvP you dont play Destiny 2. Destiny 2 is more about the total experience of a mmo-fps type game.

I fired this shot at 0437am Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it’s just landed (0454am) 😆
