Bungie and i are very old friends and we go way back, together (see Legacy Bungie stats at my profile)
At first my connection: 120MB/s download, 12MB/s upload, 12m/s PING, wired with 5 meters long UTF Cat 6 cable, which goes directly from my PS4 to the Modem-Router, NAT type 2 (all needed ports open and forwarded), UPnP enabled: Yes
The problems that i (and many more European? players, most with very good connections) experience in Destiny's Crucible for 90-95% of the time:
1. Enemies see me earlier on their screen, then i see them on my screen
2. Mostly it feels like i am shooting with water pistol at the enemies, but they are shooting back with machine guns
3. A lot of times the enemies lag.
3. Mostly players with one red bar (which are almost impossible to kill) are MVP.
4. A lot of players are sometimes almost invisible (i don't mean Hunters)
5. Enemies are shooting my team mates which stand 10m in front of me and i die (them not)
6. Sometimes i die from nothing. Nobody near me, no grenades or snipers and i suddenly die or lose a lot of my health.
7. Mostly i lose from any shotgun, while on all characters i am using Invective, Found Verdict and Felwinters Lie/ Two The Morgue (both with very good perks)
8. I start shooting somebody in the back or from the side, he turns arround, looks where he has been hitting from and kills me.
9. From CoD i have learned not to stand in the open, but always look for the rocks, walls, windows, etc. to hide by body, so the enemies only see my upper body or my head while i am shooting at them.
For example: I am hiding behind a rock, knowing that the enemy is coming from the cave and that i only have to pull the triger for 1mm to shoot. Suddenly the enemy appears outside the cave and shoots me, before i can even pull the trigger.
10. I shoot my whole mag in the enemy and 1/4 of his health is down. Then i see on the kill cam that 2-3 of my team mates shoot him further....He kills them all, because their bullets are not beeing registered.
11. Almost can't make kills with Titan's Lightning Grenades. It seems like i am throwing potatos at enemies. My other grenades mostly do totally nothing. It's really frustrating to see the enemies on the kill cam standing in your grenades and taking no damage.
12. Literally there are IMMORTAL players in Destiny's Crucible. I have uploaded an example to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRZk2Nztacc
(that game i was totally confused and angry, see MVP's connections from both teams at the end of the video)
13. .......and many more things.
The problem is that i like Destiny and i am addicted to the game. Also i want to achieve full Grimoire Score. Otherways i would have quit a long time ago.
When reading my post above, you have to know that i was very, very good in every CoD online and in some CoD's i was very high ranked on different leaderboads. Halo 3 almost every match Top 2 (see my profile/ click Halo 3- matchmaking)....... With this i only want to say that i am an experienced player.
Can someone from Destiny please test your servers, because they don't work correctly.
Any more players experience the same like me?
Does anybody know what do i have to change to get a "better" connection?
UPDATE: Today i have read that in House of Wolves we will all have to play Trials Of Osiris (Crucible) to level our gear to max. There will not be a Raid in House of Wolves. If Bungie will not do something about the connection, a LOT of players will QUIT Destiny. What a shame, because for the rest i think Destiny is the most beautiful game ever made.!

I have seen the majority of your list happen in one game. There is definitely lag switchers out there but most of it is just players having terrible signal. If bungie could do anything about this it would make crucible a 100 times better.
-
I created a solution thread for this problem, check it out: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/117922938/0/0

I say put you guys on your own server. like I don't know every other mmo ever.

I me and my buddy played last night and we watched someone go from green bar to red to green,he was lag switching bad,run at you normal then disappear for 30secs and then stab everyone to death lol all we can do as a community us report
-
P2P not dedicated servers
-
Lag switching cheaters are real.

The problem is you got a bad box of bullets...it's been bad since last year the manufactures are having a hard time keeping up with the demand. Best thing Obama has ever did was try to ban AR rifles, he put more guns in the hands of Americans. According to the NRA there have been more guns sold in America in the last four years than have been made since the revolutionary war. Hope this helps.

1-800-comcast will fix all those problems.

PvP can be terrible at times, but not so bad that it is unplayable. Personally, I play Destiny with look sensitivity 1, and with the dualshock controller held upside down in my hands. I do not even use my thumbs, or any cheesy weapons, and yet I have a 1.71 K/D ratio on my main, which is a Defender Titan. If I can excel under these conditions, it should not be too difficult, for another guardian to either. Adapt, or face annihilation!
-
Wow I tried a match of control last night and half the opposing team was invisible the whole match. I may as have been in a detain bubble. All I did was laugh uncontrollably the entire match as I watched an episode of 'Rainbow Brite' happen on latency screen. Lmao.

Crucible is the shiz. If your getting owned maybe you should play more and get better at it. I started out running crucible with about a .56 kd.

Bumb.

Similar issues here in california. Some days connection is fine and i do well. Then today morning i tried some games, in which i was constantly the red bar guy and i just got owned.

This Happens To Me Most Of The Time. Start Up PS4 Getting 15 mbps Then Heading 2 Crucible Full Green Bar. When The Game starts most of us have red bars. Piece Of Shit Servers
-
The PVP in Destiny is peer-to-peer. There is little to no games/game-aspects from crucible ran by servers. Therefore, it's not Bungie's fault. It's your enemies fault for having crap internet, or their ISP's fault. Hell, could even be their districts fault for not upgrade their internet infrastructure. (This is the cause for my crap internet.) Also, they never said, ANYWHERE in their HoW update, that the only way to get maxed gear is to play Trials Of Osiris. LolWat.
-
Thanks for clearing the Osiris question I had. I experience all of what you presented, but thought I was just bad at crucible and hate to go there to get Exotic bounty guns, that being said my skill level is no good in the crucible glitched or not, I know that. So if what you say and what I read is true, then the decision has been made for me as to weather I continue playing Destiny and for a lot of others who have a hard time staying alive in Crucible. If we can't play well enough in the Crucible to get an invite to the Trials of Osiris and that's the only way to level up, then its over for us. OH and we would not get to go to that favorite new place that only the top player's get to go....way to divide the ranks into "haves and have not" destiny, I hope what you have left after this DLC" FAIL" supports keeping the game alive.

They need to focus more on PvE and stop making such a big deal of the Crucible. It's garbage, but the PvE is great! I wish they would put more emphasis towards what makes Destiny, Destiny… the raids and strikes.
-
They need to fix the servers and losers need to stop using lag switchers because they suck
-
The reason you'll lag even though you have awesome internet is cause you are being connected to people probably really far away. The game doesn't pick hosts based on proximity which it should but doesn't. There isn't much that can be done but instead hope Bungie will rewrite their matchmaking system and netcode.
-
1 Thing you forgot is,How a level 3 or 4 can kill a lvl 32 with no problem and it takes a full clip for the lvl 32 to kill them even with head shots.pvp was fine when I first started playing this game now its junk.if its not broke don't FIX IT.NOW ITS BROKE AND SO ARE THE GUNS.
-
Edited by NightMare3883: 4/19/2015 11:57:47 PMBump, it has been borderline unplayable for my fiends and I since the end of January. I would look forward to the Trials more if I knew it would not be a uphill battle against lag.
-
Same exact problem I'm having. Been like this for me from day one. Something wrong with their lag compensation, bug time
-
Git gud scrub
-
Lag ruins my game constantly
-
If crucible is only way to gain weapons and armor, Destiny will have a problem. No one wants to play against cheaters.
