Does lag in PvP bother you?

Yes

1274

No

90

Of course it does. Apparently not for Bungie. Why does this issue seem like a small problem when it comes to Destiny reading through the forums? I saw more complaints about Vault Space than half of the game (PvP) being broken. My question is basically if it obviously bothers you then why aren't you complaining about it? Make some noise. Bungie can't evade this issue forever!! This should be the nr 1 discussed topic in the forums! We paid money for a game that is broken and 2 expansions later it's still broken! Personally I really like PvP (on the rare occasions that it works fine) but the experience is ruined when most of the matches are laggy. I know for certain now that there will be a red bar in every single match on the opposing team that will end up top and be hard to kill. Destiny is the most laggy game I've played in my life. Trying to improve your skills in this game is pointless when 90% of the times you die is not fair game. Btw before anyone says it, no it's not my connection that sucks. I have 100 down and 10 up. 4ms ping. Fiber using cable not WiFi. I have also conducted a small survey on people who lagged and the info they gave me regarding their internet speeds were ridiculous. Some dude with 3 mb speed on WiFi. Another one had 300+ in ping. The biggest reason it lags is because a lot of people have extremely bad internet speeds. Dedicated servers might help but I honestly believe that Bungie should just matchmake those with bad connection against each other and let the rest of us enjoy pvp as it is meant. Edit: Halo 5 Guardians will be on dedicated servers. Feel like jumping ship when it comes out. For how long will Destiny be a mediocre pvp experience compared to other competitive games out there? Damnit, Bungie! Fix this issue now!

    I had a South American taco sending me messages how bad I was on the matches, the lag was in his favor and I couldn't do $hit about it.

  • Course it does . Happens in all shooters though (cod , BF etc ) Dedicated servers would help but wouldn't eliminate everything (see BF and cod ) .

        Why is this even a topic, why wouldn't it bother someone, and more of the player base does pve then pvp that's why vault space is more of a concern then pvp lag

            • My problem is that i have reallyyyyy fast internet, 100 to 150 down, 60 up and around a 13ms ping and very little jitter. So i always see people lagging, with thier slow upload not updating the server with where they are. Bungie really needs to modify how much data is transmitted per packet or use a different compression codec. I monitor the router/modem and see that it is huge amounts being sent. Honestly the only way at this point to fix this is if everyone got a much faster internet, or bungie figured out a way to compress the info packets down some more. For now though, we all just have to enjoy a terrible pvp experience when you match with slow players...

                We had to deal with shitty p2p connections back on gears1 and 2. People made enough noise on the forums to get epic to introduce dedicated servers for gears3/judgment and now for gears ue and it's so smooth. Nothing would have changed if people didn't complain. The lag in this game is as bad as it was in gears and that was 9 years ago, what a joke. Aside from the lag I love this game.

              • The [b][i]vast[/i][/b] majority of the time, I don't have any problems. Pulling my Ethernet cord directly in has made a big difference in my overall lag and error codes. I don't think I've been kicked to orbit since I hardwired in.

                • You had me until you said matchmake according to connection. If I happen to be red barring for a single game, playing 5 or 11 other red barring players will suck worse than playing mixed. If you've got a great connection, then yeah, it sucks if one person can't die. But know that it sucks more when none of your enemies can die.

                    • Yeah it bothers me, it took me 2 golden gun shots to kill one guy and a lot of shots from my scout rifle just to end up dying by a guy who ends up dying 15 seconds after

                    • I actually agree with u, match every one up according to their connection. Atleast it's more or less fair. Nothing more rage inducing that being put against a bunch of guys on fiber who are basically unstoppable and the rest of us are on 4mb or 10mb adsl (Avarage connection speed where I live).

                    • I honestly don't encounter lag that often. I really only notice it as an issue in regular Crucible around the same time Iron Banner roles in. But when I do encounter it, it is extremely annoying

                      • I literally had a guy take two golden gun shots running through them to melee me. After I exploded from his void melee he exploded from the golden gun shots that I had hit him with prior to his melee. This kind of stuff happens all of the time and it's extremely frustrating.

                          • It's not only pvp last week I had a constant red bar at the tower making it nearly impossible to turn in bounties and engrams. I know my internet isn't the best we don't get fibre in my area in Australia but seriously, How the f%&k is that even possible.

                          • It does annoy me. I was playing rumble today and a guy was lagging. Not much, little enough that he still moves normally but just laugh enough that we are facing each other and I shotgun him point blank in the face but he has enough time to turn and Last Word me, then we die at the same time. It pissed me off even more than normal crucible.
