Lag Compensation Needs To Disappear
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm seriously getting fed up with so many foreign connections and lagswitch-using newbs abusing the living heck out of the lag compensation in this game. There are too many people running around invincible to all types of fire and warping across the map in PvP. It's really stupid when that after someone gets stuck by a fusion grenade, they get an extra 3-30 seconds to kill everyone on the other team before the game actually dies. And it's been especially annoying in Iron Banner when some full teams are using a lagswitch to warp across the map and spawn kill because the game doesn't register where they actually are.
Lag compensation was already one of the worst inventions in gaming, and Bungie definitely made the worst version of it. If you're not going to remove this abomination, at least have the decency to have the game auto-kick and also NOT matchmake players that have more than a 100m/s ping difference to the host.

1 ReplyAbsolutely. I made my first dedicated run on Iron banner this last week, and it's painfully apparent when lag switches are being used. I've overheard several people playing, discussing the benefits of broadcasting or downloading torrents during play sessions for this exact reason. I hit rank 5 by Thursday, but I quickly realized that the push hours if the last switching epidemic started after school got out. Every day.... It's ridiculous that the budget for this game exceeds some countries GNP, but we can't afford, or are unconcerned with Dedicated servers. I'm in agreement that ping limits should be set and enforced. Being that error codes are so prevalent in this game anyhow, why not institute a code for lag or lag switches, based off packet sent/recieved time discrepancies and boot these a-holes to orbit. Lag switchers should be perma-banned, in not destiny in whole. At least crucible and/or iron banner. I'm dreading Trials of Osiris for this exact reason. The exotics and limited play attempts are going to push these morons to greater efforts in cheating. I pay for a premium internet connection, and was about to switch to fiber optic. I've got a 10 gigabit switch and matching wireless router in preparation, but quite honestly... This is the reason I've delayed. As much as I love playing destiny with friends... The punishment of solid connection drives the majority of the, 100+, Destiny players I know away from crucible. Not to mention, that the institution of dedicated servers and increased crackdown on this BS, would undoubtedly improve all the getting booted to orbit and constant error codes.
