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.

1 ReplyPS3 eh? I'll do some iron banner with you it you haven't completely called it quits yet
-
2 RepliesI just report the laggers with bad connection, then it no longer puts us in the same lobby. I hope they aren't banned for connection issues, maybe they're just far away, like Spain. They probably game just fine when they're matched to people a bit closer to them.

I had a fun guy that my grenades wouldn't stick to. I literally bounced 3 off his f/cking head. Not like, near miss. I threw it, hit his face, no walls or anything, bounced off and he shot me.
-
2 RepliesPlay Skirmish, these lag problems don't happen, problem solved. 3v3, far better than 6v6.

1 ReplyThere seems to be a misconception that Destiny PVP uses servers. It is peer to peer. If you've played an FPS game that uses dedicated servers the difference is night and day. At best there is some proxy relay involved but crucible matches are not played on dedicated servers.
-
Same here, I used a full mag of my shot gun and 10 melees, but this warlock didn't go down, and I die instead.
-
I though I was the only one, on the IB before this one I was always on top of the score boards and always had a lot of caps but I couldn't even leave spawn sometimes in the IB
-
Definitely so much lag. All on Xbox 360. Warping, bullet sponges, etc. Some more sketchy stuff too, but mostly lag. Probably so many more people doing iron banner. Not ruling out cheaters (I'm always suspicious of other players haha), but mostly just crap connections.
-
I've noticed a lot of the same stuff. Emptying mags into people and doing zero damage, people appearing out of nowhere and killing me with melee attacks (not even showing up on radar). I even had my 31 Titan get one shotted by a level 26 with a hand cannon today in IB. I'm not sure if it's just lag issues or if people are using mods, but it's pretty damn frustrating for sure. I'm not great at PVP to begin with. Certainly don't need the deck stacked against me even more lol.
-
Yeah, players turning into bullet sponges has been a constant issue for me on PS4. I giggle like a school girl when I shoot someone, shit dacks because they don't die, run away and then 10 seconds later get points for a kill. I don't know why but it tickles me.
-
Crucible and Iron Banner are the biggest piles of shit i have ever played. No balance. No team-play/coordination. Vew Mythoclast. One hit kill supers left right and center. Online multi-player is pathetic when viewed objectively.
-
ive stopped playing crucible pretty much because I got sick of shooting people who weren't even there.
-
Same thing on the Xbox 360.

1 ReplyMust be on ps4 xbox one was fine all week for me
-
2 RepliesI got to iron banner lvl 4 in two days. I barely play this game, much less the crucible, and I've been going positive for a majority of my matches. I've seen some sketchy stuff but assumed it was latency related. In any case I just adapted and out played my opponent.
-
Had a similar issue like this doing the Crota raid the other night. It may just be the servers.
-
I've had similar problems on the 360 in Iron Banner. I assumed that maybe the enemy team had people using a lag switch.
-
1 ReplyYea my upgraded suros was firing in full auto when I aimed in and my friends vex was firing like a pocket infinity
-
1 ReplyIt's not just on. PS3, I've had big problems on Xbox one. Maybe it's just the servers, but nonetheless, something's not right
-
Omg so true I'm on PS3 I Nova bombed a guy from behind and he took no phuking damage
-
6 RepliesI agree with this. I was literally watching players teleport over the weekend. Not sure if it was just bad lag or something more. One thing that happened multiple times this IB, was I would have someone in my sights. I would shoot him 3 or 4 times with my gun, his health/shields wouldn't move. He runs towards me, I'm still shooting. He melees me and I die, and right when I hit the ground he dies and I get the points. So instead of dying when I shoot him, he runs towards me, kills me, and then dies after. Makes no sense.
-
There has been a lot of "lag" on Xbox also. I noticed on iron banner this guy killed 4 of us on A in blind watch then he came around the corner shooting after he killed us?

Edited by Level 2 on Easy: 1/20/2015 3:22:27 AMI feel your pain and know where you're coming from. I started the IB last Tuesday and tried to stay faithful to my plan of getting to rank 4 so I could get some different gauntlets (I just want to look different. Every 32 is practically a clone). I gave up 2 days later realizing I was swimming in a cess pool of tryhards, lag, modders, campers, cheaters and sore players. Its not worth the battle. I bought FarCry 4 and I'm not looking back or disappointed.

It's easy to spot a cheater in pvp...just hope you don't run into me. I'll take my loss like a man but you best believe you have been reported for cheating.

Ban em all
