Still no dedicated servers for crucible? (Rant)

Dedicated servers should be put in place.

Maybe there are other solutions to this issue?

Keep it as it is.

Just a quick rant about how I've got a decent internet connection, but because the game is decided on P2P connections, it's making it impossible to play crucible. My connection isn't half bad. 1.5MB/s down, 0.4Mbps up. It's a standard connection for most games and I don't get any issues with my connection whatsoever in them. Even games that require competition against other players are alright with my connection as I literally don't get any connection issues whatsoever. But on Destiny 2 however, my connection just goes terrible. Every match I'm in is stuck at a 1 bar connection, so there's no good sign from that, right? I hop into the match to have a good time. I go for precision shots, shotgun at POINT BLANK RANGE towards people, but they don't take hits. So I'm wondering. Why is Crucible still stuck on P2P connections, rather than dedicated servers? Since so much data is being sent between players, not many people can afford to send their data to all players at once without having to sacrifice on heavier latency. The only thing I can suggest for Destiny 2 to add in, or even the next Destiny game, is to set dedicated servers for crucible. P2P connections are fine for only PvE content as there's not much of a reliable connection needed. But for the love of god, please set dedicated servers, because not everyone can afford access to fibre or get it within their area or even get it sorted out for that matter. What makes matters worse for this issue was one of the TWAB announcements about how people will get Crucible banned for having bad connections. This solution doesn't fix everything as it's simply "Get a higher costing connection or don't play the game at all". This blunt and simple solution doesn't fix the game for everyone, it just leaves the ones with the bigger pockets to be able to play.

  • [quote]My connection isn't half bad. 1.5MB/s down, 0.4Mbps up.[/quote] You’re correct. Your connection isn’t half bad, it’s completely bad. Destiny specifies a MINIMUM of 1 Mb upload + 1Mb download. Your upload is well below the minimum recommended. Other games likely don’t function on a p2p structure. Thus, those games you are only connected to 1 host/server/etc, whereas destiny connects you to the other 7-11 players in lobby (plus 1 virtual cloud host server).
