Iron Banner: latency and inconsistent matchmaking?
I'll just start off by saying, I'm not the best FPS player ever but I think I can hold my own in Call of Duty and Battlefield 4.
I have good working knowledge of networking, latency, port forwarding and lots of experience in FPS multiplayer.
I bought destiny for the PVE and that's great. Love it.
However I'd also like to enjoy the PVP.
This is not the case.
I've setup my Xbox One and my Asus AC87u router for a wired ethernet connection with all the appropriate ports open, hell I've even gotten Advanced Warfare to give me an OPEN NAT in game, however Destiny connections for me and my friends are constantly terrible (seemingly only in PVP). My connection is 320+ Mb/s Download and 22+ Mb/s Upload.
In Battlefield 4, I don't remember having PVP issues. Call of Duty Advanced Warfare I have had a game here and there that is totally glitching out all game, however the other night I could consistently pull off 6.0 K/D ratios game after game, which may be luck however, I don't understand Destiny Crucible or Iron Banner for the life of me.
No matter which weapon I seem to use, my level 29 Warlock can't kill anything unless I hide with a Found Verdict.
Shadow Price, Vex Mythoclast, Atheons Epilogue (maxed out), Last Word, Fatebringer, Pocket Infinity (with PI unlocked) did not seem to help at all while trying to play IB last night.
Level 25 players were constantly one-shotting me (or so it seemed from my perspective).
To be honest I think it's worse on weekends when everyone is playing however I may be wrong.
What the @#$% is going on with this and what is being done about it?
I purposely didn't buy call of duty this year, but it's looking better and better every IB match.
A friend bought it for me and I've played AW a few times. I really want to like Destiny for PVP but in it's current state I just can't see myself wasting time with this terrible lag.
I've read through so many accounts and seen so many examples of this hit detection/netcode lag and experienced it myself.
I've gotten like 6 people to go out and buy destiny because of how awesome it is, but we just can't deal with the PVP matchmaking. It's so bad.
I can do well in Crucible and have in a select few games, but it has become apparent to me that the latency may have been favoring me in these matches.

I've made comment on the forums about this and would at least like this addressed so that I know Bungie isn't just shutting their eyes and plugging their ears when it comes to the issues that actually matter to their players.

1 ReplyI have 150mbits download and 15mbits upload. Befor a Game starts i am on Green, good connection. When the Game starts i am mostly on Red, Bad connection. I had games where i Couldn't kill lv24 with no weapon! 3 shots with shotguns and nothing happens. And he is running around like a chicken. We need dedicated servers! And the problem is gone!

So last night I try out Iron Banner to see what's up. I have a game that's 0.44 and the next game I get a 3.75 KD ............. I wasn't doing anything differently Shadow Price Found Verdict Ballerhorn 2 Matches, two different latency levels. One I had red bar, the other I didn't. Consistency would be nice Bungie.

1 ReplyEdited by morrsn: 11/22/2014 11:37:50 PMIt's definitely Bungies problem and not ours. Try playing during low traffic hours such as midnight. Connection is flawless. Green ping all around and no kto whatsoever. Weekends? Red ping and zoo animals dominate the crucible. You see more people with poor connection than anything.. So yeah, bungie's servers just can't handle the high traffic which is unacceptable considering they knew this game was highly anticipated. Terrible planing on their side imo..

Alright so far most people agree an issue definitely exists with regards to my post here. Half citing it's terrible and the other half admitting it's inconsistent. The question is, will anything be done about it?

3 RepliesI think this is just more prevalent on the xbone. I play ps4 and while there is lag from time to time I never get disconnected. The lag really isn't that bad where the game is unplayable though... Definitely sucks though, for all impacted by it, regardless of system.

2 Replies320 Megabit internet? Pics please. Where are you from and who provides that?

2 RepliesCall of Duty Ghosts was ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!! If AW is anything near ghosts then do everyone a favour and tell your friend to return that game ASAP!
-
In a game where defense matters. How come it takes the same amount of shots to kill a lvl 30 as opposed to a 24?
-
2 RepliesError code Bee just makes 6v6 impossible to play, I never get disconnected at the beginning it's always two thirds through the match and usually when my team are winning its so -blam!-ing frustrating especially when I can play Titanfall, Battlefield 4, Halo etc without a hitch I'll take a few seconds of lag and a death over being booted but until this is fixed I cannot play crucible at all

I see a few more votes than replies, let me know what you think in writing here

1 ReplyDisconnects are absolutely terrible in this game. Was just me in my clique for a while getting D/C'd, now each person gets disconnected and least twice an hour. Well, misery loves company I suppose...
