Mass banning probably coming after Iron Banner event...

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.

  • Lags pretty frustrating on the last gen consoles, my 360 is fine in pve but lags bad in pvp. Not usually for my benefit, if I get a kill I die too. At my other place I got an xbox one and the connectivity is much better, no strange jumpy lagging on my end, and way less cases of other people lagging

  • I'm sure you're aware that ps3 has been opened up for, what?, 3 years now? Games can be edited and loaded directly onto the hdd. Even with the newest cfw they can be played online. Though i've heard this doesn't last long and they inevitable catch you. That's the first scenario. The second is confusing. I'm ps4 and have noticed the same damn thing sometimes. Is it the traffic due to IB? I don't know, but i do know people can conveniently teleport away from you, ala,"lag switch'. Just had that word introduced to me when i searched on what happened to me a few times recently. Apparently, and im not sure how this works, they can introduce more latency(???) or artifically slow down the game. I still don't get that because then only the host could do this. And is this game "hosted" locally or on a bungie/activision server. many more questions than answers. But, to sum up, i too have seen this on ps4. Could be some ol hex editing on the ps3 eboot.bin but the ps4 isn't cracked so its gotta be lag(please someone tell me exactly how that can be done. And done ON DEMAND)

    • I feel most of this is lag thought, I did the VOG on hard last night (yes I know who still does that) and we had to restart atheon because of serious lag where we did no damage to him. There was also instances where he wouldn't sent 3 people through the portal, which I thought they had fixed.

      • Ya it's seriously getting out of control. It happens to frequently. Are the lagging that bad or cheating? I find it hard to believe it's lag personally

        • Mi have seen the bullet sponges but figured it was just lag on there end. Several times I would make a kill and it would take about 5 sec to register. I don't care because it was not the normal game and did not happen that much on my end

        • There's only one thing to blame - Bungie servers. PSN hasn't been amazing either, which PISSES ME OFF SINCE WE PAY FOR IT NOW, but all my other devices in my home work just fine when compared to Destiny servers. Always showing poor connection.

          • I saw a whole team with apparently unlimited heavy ammo (more than 10 rockets each). Everyone who got in quit the match. No idea how they did it.

          • Massive amounts of lag on 360 as well and it's not on my end. Only thing reporting does is decrease likely hood of playing with that person again

          • i doubt there is cheaters in the traditional sense. lag is something we can't do much about. that comes down to matchmacking, server quality, netcode implementation and ping from players. now there are some people out there that induce lag on their side for an advantage. those people need to be banned. however it is possible to tell who is doing it intentionally and who isn't. the only real way to get rid of the majority of the lag is to have matchmaking done by player ping. the lag is the reason why i don't play PvP. if any dev from any company finally realizes ping restrictions on servers or at the minimum, matchmaking by ping, is critical in keeping any PvP game alive, i will return to PvP based games.

          • It's on all consoles. Several of my team refuse to participate in any further events. Sad that they have to rely on lag switching to win. Maybe their mothers didn't hug then enough...

            • This was my first time having a proper go at Iron Banner as I usually stay away from PvP. Once I got into it though I found that I was coming first, or in the top 3 most of the time and got to Rank 5 relatively quickly. I really enjoyed it and will be doing more crucible. What I did notice though is that during some of the matches, a guy in the opposite team constantly had golden gun active, right from the start of the match and throughout, surely this can't be normal??

              • I don't know if it was a bug or what but a few times in crucible a player will start the match with their super. It was always a low level player too.

                • I would agree the connections have become worse whether it's on Bungie's end or it's connection manipulation. I'm more troubled with new explosion of afkers in the crucible. Most have very low grimoire scores so I'm assuming they're new players. Had to quit 4 out of 5 matches yesterday because we were just getting rolled playing one or even two men short.

                    • I have seen numerous lagging/glitching players on the 360. Shoot them 4 times with ghorn, one kill. Then (totally invisible, not just blade dancer invisible) I get meleed.

                    • You are spot on that Cheaters dominate this IB. Why shouldn`t they? They dominated the Raid since 15th of December and are on a Cheating Spree. With its "generous" dealing of Cheating in PvE Bungie practically invited these CHeaters to bring their Mindset into PvP. But I doubt that any Bans will happen, Bungie has proven that it is either unwilling or incompetent to handle Cheaters, or both.
