This Iron Banner has been by far the worst I have seen yet. I get my ass kicked a lot in the crucible, but I hold my own. I have seen the most sketchy activity since the release of the game this past week! It has gone from massive amounts of lag, porting, glitching, and even obvious mods.
One lag example: Twilight Gap, a warlock starts running into a wall and becomes a bullet sponge. I unload 3 shotgun rounds point blank into his back and give up knowing he is obviously lagged out. I move to capture C with a team of 4. One by one we are meleed to death by the same warlock, but nobody is able to see him. We respawn and find him running into the same wall... We move to capture B and one of my fireteam members sees him still running into the wall, but he is melee killing us at B. Later at A... Maybe it is just mass lag and he isn't doing it on purpose, but he was reported nonetheless.
Example 2, Blind Watch: One player is dominating the match using Hawkmoon and Found Verdict. I run in to capture B and am quickly shut down by a full auto Found Verdict. Now I know this shotgun can be fired in full auto, but this particular instance it was firing way faster than I had ever heard it firing before. I'm talking high ROF auto rifle fast. I charge in and this same player had switched over to his Hawkmoon. Straight up mowed me down while firing this thing in complete full auto mode! I was in awe! That gun itself sounds scary enough, but when it is going off at that rate of speed I had to change my pants!
These are just 2 examples of things I have seen this week. There has been a lot of sketchy activity though. I have reported more players this week than I have the entire time I have been playing this game. If it is just been a crapload of lag, completely understandable and I hope it gets resolved soon. I would not be surprised at all to see a lot of accounts deactivated in the weeks to come.
Anybody else have any stories like this to share?
Edit: This is all on PS3
Edit: I understand some people use turbo controllers. it doesn't matter how fast your controller presses the button. What I'm trying to figure out is how he was still firing way faster than the guns rate of fire allows. Imagine a hawkmoon firing like Atheon's Epilogue.
Edit: Like the constructive responses. As for the trolls it's time to find a new hobby...
Edit: I'm not talking about banning people for lag issues. Everybody knows this game is full of it. I'm more concerned with possible mods and manipulated connection issues (believe it or not they are detectable).
Edit: Appreciate the stories guys. Regardless of what the trolls in this post seem to think cheating is real. Whether it be by mods or by network manipulation it does exist and will continue to be a problem. I also agree a lot of it has to do with server lag that cannot be helped. We have here over 200 examples of bad experiences players have had in the crucible for any number of reasons. It is constructive feedback like this that brings this stuff to the attention of those that can help fix the problems. Keep the posts coming!
Edit: I do report a lot of people, but I am not reporting everybody for cheating like the guy in the first example. In most cases I use the "bad connection" option. This option is not an attempt at getting people banned, it's there to call attention to weaker signals so that hopefully something can be figured out to strengthen their connection.

Lag is a huge issue that will never be resolved by any game activision is involved with. My point is that I actually believe lag is used on purpose to influence matches. Have a shitty team stacked against a good team. Lag evens it out. There are the exceptions to that rule like extremely skilled players who still overcome these obstacles, but to average Joe playing a few hours a day it's a game breaker. I've seen Titans sprinting around like Flash Gordon just shot gunning everyone lol. It's ridiculous. Sniper headshots giving kill notifications like 5 seconds after the fact while the guy is still shooting only to randomly drop dead while he's still firing at you. Shotgun melee the guy standing in the corner not moving only to have 3 guys on my team taken out a few minutes later. Just use dedicated servers put everyone on an even playing ground and let the good kids be good at the game and rip me. I don't want my hand held by lag. I wanna get better and be challenged by better players. If that means going negative for 6 months to get better id rather have that happen.

I got to R5 this time round, but yes, there was a lot of lag, indestructible players, players who were there one minute gone the next.

12 RepliesI like how people think that because they are level 32 a level 20 something cant kill them. the levels dont matter much even tho Bungie said they do. -___- its whatever its just a normal Crucible game

This link is for a video my Brother made of the worst thing we saw in Iron Banner; a rapid fire Golden Gun. Probably just lag but was a shocker as we both saw it but on 2 different screens/consoles. Please note that he may have jumped the gun with the reporting and that has been covered in his forum post when he first shared this. Thoughts?

On Delphi I experienced a lagging titan. Coming into B from A, I hit him and another player with Truth and entered the room. The titan (after getting blasted with my rocket) ran around the holographic display, shot me in the back with a shotgun and then disintegrated into purple mist. Every time I saw him using the lag to his advantage I reported him.

Switch lag is real in this Game and i am sure that some ppl knows how it works. Example, we are leading with over 6k points on Firebase Delphi. 15k to 9k Nothing spezial is going on, our Team holded A and B really good. Then the shit started, the guy i killed all the Time Started to lag and the Rest of the Team. We lost 20k to 18k They turned around the game in 2min and it wasn't possible to kill someone. My know lags: Ppl are running in Walls - on their screen they just melee or Shotgun you Ppl are disapearing why you fight them - he is already behind you and shotguns or melees you Ppl are moving like Flash over the place - 1sec he is here on the other sec he is on the other side Did also lag sometimes? Maybe and other ppl thought the same for me. Servers are Crap, P2P is Crazy for a Game like Destiny I don't have the know how, to unterstand how all this Issues works or how Servers and P2P in general works. But i know that Activision and Bungie did already a fxxking much money since release and we still don't have 100% dedicated Servers for PvP and PvE! And that is a shame in my opinion and not good for the Game. Why not Good? Most glitches in the Game are because of Bad connection

I got to rank 5 with days to spare this time the boat issue was lagy players I had many bag lady games where you just couldn't kill people as they blindly ran about into walls it had its flip side as normally if they killed me they died about 6 seconds later from me lol. Best iron banner in terms of close games rarely had a game that was a total wash out unless me team quit which happened once and was down to just 2 of us. We got royally beat.. But i got an exotic reward so can't complain from loosing badly

I saw two cheaters the whole time, glad it wasn't common.

2 RepliesEdited by Pure Potential: 1/20/2015 10:12:12 AMThey do need to patch the rapid fire exploit you can do with some of the guns when using a turbo/macro controller. Not that I think many people have these controllers or use the exploit maybe I don't notice. I was only made aware of this when a friend showed me in a game of rumble as he has a rapid fire controller.

1 ReplyThere's a lot of lag.... But there has also been a lot of rocket launcher first blood kills and super first blood kills.... How the hell does someone get a first blood w a GG or FoH? I am familiar w the ammo glitch. Been killed enough by it way before "Heavy Ammo Inbound".

I got tired of shooting point blank and stabbing 5 times the same guarding only to watch them disappear. But I somehow made it to rank 5, thank gawd. I once was at Twilight Gap too, I believe. Saw a guardian moving around trying to capture zone C. A few others guys and me cornered him and almost got him so I moved in for the kill. One stab, still standing. Alright, high defense I guess. (???) Two stabs, nothing. Three stabs? Four...? At this point I realized I was probably lagging so I backed off, stared at him for a few minutes and started to walk away. Not even a second later, the guy disappeared, I was DOWN (like when you fall off a cliff) and no enemies or ledges were around! I was just...down. I just hope that if they do ban people or whatever, they're fair about it. I've seen some other games just ban people who were there when hacking or cheating was involved, no questions asked.

I'm on ps4 and it's always that lag and porting bullshit that everyone does ... It really brings the whole game down. Good thing Star Wars, Batman and The Division are coming out this year.

1 ReplyYep, teleporting players and invincible guardians everywhere.

1 ReplyI had one or two matches with really bad lag, they were basically invincible. Put about 60 rounds from Corrective Measure into a dude's face and he killed me.

Got to rank 4 this week from 0 due to the fact that I've never really played iron banner, on top of all the lag & bullshit there's assholes going so far negative doing nothing for the team & getting given ib gear or exotic gear !!!? Wtf ! It's so discouraging to even continue playing

Its ok.... hackers have no balls....

Did have a single notable game like this. It was skirmish. Enemy team was partied up and red bar. They were lagging behind by about a second. The problem was even deadly amounts of damage, they had roughly a second before it registered. Best example saw them all camping close, used death from above, the closest one to me shotgun/beatdown me then they all died. Unfortunately the map was anomaly and the constant cqb fights made that second very beneficial to them and we lost. I can't say with any certainty they intentionally did it, but by all means they did have an unfair advantage with it.
-
I absolutely agree that the hacking and lagging has been off the charts this last week or two. Most of the people I play with agree. But you're naive if you think Bungie cares. They already lifted the bans from all the cheats they caught heavy glitching. They're not going to eliminate a huge portion of their player base by banning cheaters, and they just don't care about those of us who try to do it legit.
