[b]TL:DR[/b] -check connections, 1 person with yellow or red will have crota raining "glitches" and frustration-
after paying close attention to connections and in game "glitches" my clan and others have observed that all the "glitches"
-sword disappearing
--crota shields regen
-crota kneels shorter
--crota killing sword runner off bridge
All this and more derives soley from 1 person having poor connection.
[b]1 yellow bar[/b]- can vary from being unnoticable to wrecking havoc. So youll have to guage it.
[b]1 red bar[/b]- you will most likely encounter every bug
Our conclusion is simple we will now load in, check connections, and attempt to fix them to green before running
[b]connection fixes[/b]
These are methods we use and find helpful
-[b]Person with poor connection [/b]
-quits game
-closes all apps (msgs,friends)
-relaunch game and join team
-[b]Person with poor connection [/b]
-simple modem reset
-[b]person with poor connection[/b]
-if to no resolve give it a few honest goes, and determine if lag is holding you back
-as a last resort you may have to politely ask the person to find another group (avoid this)
Well there you have it, by checking connections you can take serious runs based on player performance
I hope this helps many, because our new motto is spend 15min fixing connection, 5 min to down crota
[b]Dont waste anymore of your time and effort on the sliver of a chance that lag wont mess you up, just fix it! [/b]

Edited by SultanGris: 2/19/2015 8:21:02 AMSeems to glitch more if you wipe a few times as well, once the glitching starts it never goes back to normal and seems to only get worse until you take fire team to orbit and restart the raid. That always fixes it for us. Never noticed correlation to connection, but then again I've never even seen any connection stats, where do you observe them? I'll check that out next time it happens to see if it's a factor. Not much you can to do fix connection other than eliminate other users hogging your bandwidth and making sure your ports are open. If you have a low quality router/modem power cycle one a week doesn't hurt. All of my issues are on destinys side and are random. I can go a week with no problems and then all of a sudden get disconnected and have trouble contacting destiny servers every 5 minutes for a half hour or so before it goes back to normal. It's only destiny, all other games work fine during this time, no issues with losing connection to psn, perhaps just peak usage time for destiny clogging up their servers or something. I'm also unsure how destiny works, I think it's peer to peer with the fireteam leaders console acting as host, in which case his connection quality/speed is vital, you don't want the host on a slow connection halfway around the world with a high latency to everyone else. This doesn't matter if everyone connects to a dedicated destiny server, but I don't know for sure how they have it set up, most games are using peer to peer these days to save money but it creates more issues when people have crap connections
