Matchmaking changes are now live in Iron Banner. You can read more about the details in the blog post that is linked. Basically we have made some adjustments to matchmaking that should assign more emphasis to connection quality. Thanks.

Played IB today after the new updates and it seems much better. Thanks! Didn't see any red bars :o Really hope it stays this way.

1 ReplyEdited by Lead Farmer: 1/30/2016 4:58:25 PMAnd yet kept getting matched up with at least 1-2 "red bars" when claimed they didn't know what a lag switch was, expressed shock, or pled the 5th. Yeah, exactly like it was before. Nothing beats running around seeing a telepprting guardian trying to melee shotgunning you. Tell you what. How about you make reporting relevant for a change and not punish those who've decided to do what you won't do? Post the names of these idiots and ban them from all PVP for a minimal 3 months?

I've noticed some improvement
-
No change, maybe slightly worse? Not sure how it keeps declining with improvements? How about take various test players to see what we see/encounter?
-
And it still sucks.

3 RepliesRecently I was mostly red barring. A few hours ago I was perfectly green, but around 5 o'clock I started red barring despite no use of WiFi on nearby devices. It may have just been a usual drop in connection, but I'm not sure
-
So far from UK (second feedback) Everything is going solid. The odd red bar user is there but no issue. Very entertaining games, which you can see people sweating it out to the end. Wi-Fi user 50 d 5 u I'm a IT technie, so I know how to tweak my router.

1 ReplyWorst iron banner I've ever seen. Matchmaking is an absolute joke. Fallout 4, here I come!
-
You taught me how to love Rift.... I hated it, till I grinded it... And got good. Now I love it. Story of life.
-
I'm red barred nearly every game lately so I'm not sure if the connection is any better or not during Iron Banner. Lag.........Thats all that happens when you live in Australia.

Edited by ExelArts: 1/30/2016 3:41:09 AMever since taken king dropped I've been seeing a lot of canary and weasel error codes in game when I'm connected to other players never effects me when I'm soloing things I'll be on tomorrow hopefully they won't effect me in iron banner
-
Reporting solid connections across the board, excellent games so far. Great work guys, keep it up!! [spoiler][i]and now we wait[/i][/spoiler]
-
Connection, that's all you guys need to focus on. Screw everything else, just max out connection.
-
Had 1 bad match with a potato router scrub playing ib. Other then that, not so bad.
-
Well, I had a pretty good day in Iron Banner.I'd say about 80% stable matches.The 20% were crazy wrong but all in all Bungie a good day for you. It is days like this I feel my financial and emotional investment has been worth it. Thank you.

The lag compensation is just as much of a joke as ever. It's always one team goes positive, and the other team goes entirely negative. I'm in Northern California with excellent internet. This guy from the south was playing on his college campus Wi-Fi and completely ANNIHILATED my team. Absolutely unkillable and massive advantage over everyone. He finished with a 3.5 KD, 22 kills and 7000+ points. I think his name was TheWaywordWriter. Lag compensation is a complete joke in Activision games and Destiny. Laggy players get an advantage, at the expense of those with low latency, low ping connections. There's no way some kid leeching off his college's Wi-Fi should have a massive advantage over everyone. This lag compensation doesn't happen in ANY OTHER GAME besides Destiny and COD. It's been like this for years now. This is why so many people have given up on Destiny PvP.

Since these updates have started, i get booted all the time and have trouble signing in a lot. I've never had an issue like this before

2 RepliesMatch system is working. Teams are not Alpha 315 and Bravo 210 like it was Lag is still there. Reporting it still does nothing. However , reporting player for Inactivity makes system see the lag as no response time = lag = removed. Reason for one sided "blow out " matches ...AGILITY. You need to play ball here folks. Football / Soccer is the game. Block for your Fast runner (who knows the map and doesn't run wrong way ) and score as a TEAM See most PvP dbs are all about themselves. They can't win Rift Solo. Lol

Muted and reported
-
Should of changed the damn loot system.. Why is it I'm top player almost every game but receive the least amount of loot. I can't tell you how many games I play where true worst player gets the best rewards..wtf
-
3 RepliesThe lag man totally unplayable. One game is so smooth everything feels as it should the next I get no damage from weapons or supers and I'm solo playing.
-
Edited by Twinkerdoodle: 1/29/2016 11:09:54 PMWell... we found one problem. Over half of the players popped super on the spark at the same time. Game lagged out.
-
Changes are made for matchmaking but you change the game to rift. How are you gathering data? Why not leave it control or even clash? Then you would have some data to compare.

Thorn is op

About the same lag and the sweat is back, after round 3.
