Did you know...? [spoiler]That destiny doesn't actually have servers. It is almost all peer-to-peer gaming, meaning that it is actually people's consoles connecting rather than an actual server hosting the game. So when the servers are down, it's just a maintenance for the overall game rather than a server. This is why it's so hard for cheaters to be banned and why cheaters are so rampant. And theoretically your console could pick up viruses from other consoles using hacks. This is why you must be very careful of who you are playing with. It is peer-to-peer in PvE for sure, except there are no host migrations. It is also somewhat hybrid, as Bungie servers run AI and other things. When a game is started, the best connection is host. If that player does not leave, they will be host forever no matter how many better connections come and go. So if your friend has a terrible connection and they start a game alone, if you join them there will be no migration. PvE is very good at hiding lag, as all shots will still register. However if that host leaves, a new one will be selected on the fly. You'll know it was the host if they leave and it takes around 20s to say on the bottom that a player left your fireteam. If that player returns without an invite, sometimes it will bring the fireteam to orbit without anyone's consent.[/spoiler] [spoiler]and avoid she's my nerd cuz he reports everyone for no reason and has the temper of a lil bitch.[/spoiler]
