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.!

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.
