I know nothing about Shes My Nerd, but just to point out a few things. Red bars in Destiny have a distinct [i]advantage[/i] over those with better connections, so that point is moot. Having a K/D that 2.02 vs 1.06 is not a direct correlation to being "2x better". It takes a significant amount more skill and gamesense to achieve a 2+ K/D. Not saying that K/D is the litmus test for determining skill as other factors are involved, but it is a good generalization. On that note, if you are averaging under 1 K/D on your combined toons, then chances are you are probably playing at a lower level of competition than he is. You can't really expect people to stop making jokes about one thing or another just because you have experienced it in your life. You don't find jokes about retards funny being that you are one. It's great that you got past your issues and are dealing with your condition. Now, if you can get past people making fun of it, then you will probably be a lot happier just realizing that in the end people, especially online, have almost no regard for other peoples' sensitivities.

  • Do you have any data to prove your claim about red bar advantage? Let's say what you say is true, and its not, the fault inevitably lies with bungie and activision for being to cheap to craft dedicated servers.

  • Data as in numbers? No. Video clips from my gameplay and nearly everyone else's gameplay will prove that red bar connections and laggy connections on the whole have the advantage.

  • Unfortunately visual evidence in a game isn't enough, especially since we aren't seeing it from the laggers prospective. Data however, which bungie has, cannot be contested. This leads me to believe that they could be having just as much trouble. I mean, I feel for you and I'm sure people purposefully manipulate their networks. But the main issue is P2P matchmaking. Dedicated servers would help everything, making it easier to distinguish someone with an average connection to someone that is purposefully manipulating their network. I have a red bar sometimes, likely when im connected to a host halfway across the world or a host who also has an average connection. I can tell you that it is a chore to keep up, and most times when I experience this my kills don't register for about 3 seconds. Or alternatively I'll peek out for a snipe and go back around the corner to hide and a few seconds later I'll drop dead from a sniper round to the face. In the end, the only ones who can 100% judge a cheater is bungie, but something tells me its actually their P2P matchmaking system that's at fault. Of course if you see a -blam!- tard disappearing and reappearing he's probably cheating and you should report him. Another problem is when bungie sold the game to many year one players the requirements for a excellent internet connection was not something that existed. In fact i don't think the case says to this day that you must have a certain speed to run this game properly. If I'm wrong feel free to call me out, if im right its actually bungies fault for being to lazy to craft dedicated servers.

    Yeah I don't know what to say. I've heard both sides. All I know is that from my time put into Crucible the vast majority of the time there is a red bar, he is at the top of the game and nearly unkillable yet can kill you as if it is in real time while taking no damage themselves. Extremely irritating regardless of who is at fault and I too am surprised that a company who put 500 mill into a game would not have at least delivered us something that functioned properly at its core.
