Iron Banner Matchmaking Settings

IRON BANNER IS LIVE! As you enter the [i]clash[/i] to impress Lord Saladin, you'll experience the same new-and-improved matchmaking settings that were present in [b][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/192717349/0/0]Control[/url][/b] over the weekend. [u]Summary[/u]: The emphasis is focused on connection quality. There are still minimal filters in place to shield the casual from the hardcore. The technical quality of the match is our primary concern. [b]Damage Referee[/b] is also online. Players with poor connections will not enjoy a tactical advantage - quite the opposite in fact. Get in there and play. Let us know how it feels. We know you will anyway, but we wanted to let you know that we're taking the things you say and putting them into practice. Game on!!!

    • Every time you post I make the same reply. Can you stop blaming our internet connection for you servers not being set up correctly, or at least as well as any other game you can play on xbox. It's frustrating the hate mail I get when destiny is the only game that's ever kicked me and I play many online games such as madden, Diablo, cod, battlefront and now even the division. All without getting kicked. Destiny is my favorite game and nothing really compares, but honestly even with the mediocre gun play and tons of running around to get anywhere, of the division is playable without dc'ing me I will be willing to play a slightly less quality game.

        • Unless you live in Britain or Europe, or (maybe) australia right now you have no right to complain. Most people in the us are still at work or school.

          • Three red bars in a team during my last match. Top of leader boards as usual. Still red bar gods everywhere. I smell more bs for bungo's lips. Brush your teeth and tell the truth *** holes.

            • Seems pretty good for me. I'm gunna assume most of the whiners below are people with bad internet who don't know about it and are being matched with others with bad internet. That's how it should be. Improve your latency to play with other green bars.

                • I am gonna say first I appreciate yalls work. But damage ref has had a minimal effect if any. Just a few moments ago lag contributed to my enemies taking no damage and me dying because of it.

                • Deej just so you know, the new and improved matchmaking settings in control over the weekend were not improved, more red bars than were present all last week. Red bar warriors taking top spot in the lobby, being nearly invincible. The damage referee is not working in control. Red bar players are having no problem killing people and are still at an advantage. There must be a glitch in the system.

                  • Still seeing red bars all over crucible at the top of the leaderboards. You know painting them green doesn't hide the lag, right?

                    • My first three games were really good connection wise, keep these settings coming to other playlist. I'm hope Trails of Osiris get some attention soon, last night was horrible. At least get some damage referee in there...

                      SBMM on Wednesday- Saturday was perfect, i was getting in games quick, and was dealing with a great mixture of tough games and easy games all with minimal lag. Over the weekend it took forever to find a match, when It did there was lag everywhere and the games were almost as sweaty as before. Sure, it was absolutely better than the crap you deployed with TTK, but it was nowhere near as good as Wednesday's changes.

                      I under its better but why did I just leave a game where matching puts two fireteams together vs 6 randoms. Doesn't make sense at all

                        Let's sum up my first four matches for you: 1# From start against 6-man fireteam. 5K-10K. Average k/d on my team was in the 0.5 range. 2# Game starts 5 vs 6 after sitting the full circle in orbit. SBMM much? Several red bars, also suggesting that SBMM was in play. 3# Game starts 5 vs 6 again. Total red bar fest against a bunch of russians. I was on red bar, not sure how that's even possible but I would assume that it shows connectivity to the host, which probably got host through geogrphical majority despite being dial-up. Getting lagged out mid game with more than one error message popping up on the screen (has never happened before). Three games in and I never want to play this POS again. But the struggle toward a semi-decent looking helmet continues. 4# A bunch of scarab emblem people in the game. These are the first matches I've played on this character so how is that even possible? Scarab people are on the other team and match starts 4 vs 6. 4 red bars in the game, nothing does damage but I take damage out of nowhere. I'm done. Keep your IB. How is this connectivity based and where is the damage ref? I'm on 100/100 fiber and I've never had issues in any other game. I speedtest my connection several times per week and never any issues. No packet losses when testing on xbox. Conclusion:; fix your game.
