The awful hosting and piss poor connection in pvp. Why has this issue which is very serious by the way, not been addressed at all throughout the whole entirety of year one? Trials is usually laggy and consists of red bars and lag switchers. Iron banner is usually unplayable and typically destroys the connection amongst all crucible modes. On a regular basis the crucible is riddled with poor connections that ruins the pvp experience day in and day out. As someone who finds pve dull and repetitive (and as well has similar connection issues) pvp is something I look forward to playing when im on with my clan but I find myself playing less and less because I hate dealing with bullet sponges and people aimlessly running into walls while drawing the fire of an entire team. You will say "Report them in game" that is the best way, well I do, almost religiously for bad connections, mainly because it ruins my experience and it is a harmless report (or at least i believe it is?) My main question is [b]What will the devs be doing to provide a better hosting experience in the coming year?[/b] or [b]What changes will be made to improve the way the P2P connections are being handled?[/b] I'm not looking for dedicated servers, it's never going to happen. I even understand the game isn't region locked and there will be games which match people from different countries up with one another. I'm just looking for an update on better net code and a better host picking process to keep games from degrading in quality. - Still no updates from bungie or even an acknowledgement from Cozmo. as a side note - spawns have been pretty awful lately. For those wondering what my internet connection is like here is a rundown -Comcast ISP -hooked up directly to modem with a cat 6 lan cable (ps4) - Static ip assigned, QoS setup, ports forwarded. Ping test from East Coast USA (where i live) To Washington State, where bungie is [url]http://www.pingtest.net/result/130428043.png[/url] a B rating isnt half bad cross country. Here is a speedtest from East to West, again, pretty good, I can't complain [url]http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4644933594[/url] To show how serious this issue i will be uploading an image of every match that has poor connection to get an idea of how consistent this problem is (with all the names blacked/whited out for the sake of forum conduct) Take note of everyone's awful connections. (Pre-2.0 - all taken in less than 3 hours) 1. [url]http://postimg.org/image/q6seiyv77/[/url] First game of the day, clash 2. [url]http://postimg.org/image/rc79usx73/[/url] just running it solo, clash 3. [url]http://postimg.org/image/p33ondeb5/[/url] red bar players registered death late, very obnoxious. 4. [url]http://postimg.org/image/j5kow9bzb/[/url] Different game than #3, more awful connections. 5. [url]http://postimg.org/image/gsf9bqsfd/[/url] [url]http://postimg.org/image/5m9sf3qt9/[/url] These two are the same game, notice how a good connection drops drastically due to opponents poor connections Post 2.0 Update: (i will continue until this thread allows me to no more post things, then i will just bump and create another reply on it... lets hope it doesn't come to this. 1. [url]http://postimg.org/image/ponc6xn9l/[/url] This person was eating all my teams bullets 2. [url]http://s4.postimg.org/uysay87il/Destiny_20150914171145.jpg[/url] - laggy game 3. [url]http://s4.postimg.org/ctfck680d/Destiny_20150914233121.jpg[/url] - another laggy game 4. [url]http://s4.postimg.org/v51enkr9p/Destiny_20150916194254.jpg[/url] - not so laggy but the poor connection players were teleporting 5. [url]http://s1.postimg.org/z0cuhihbz/Destiny_20150916222959.jpg[/url] - not so laggy but the poor connection players were teleporting 6. [url]http://s1.postimg.org/rvv18ha2n/Destiny_20150918164017.jpg[/url] - incredibly laggy game 7. [url]http://s1.postimg.org/sf4pvhqv3/Destiny_20150918230433.jpg[/url] - another really laggy game 8. [url]http://s28.postimg.org/8e8ej8ou5/Destiny_20150928143723.jpg[/url] - game was going well then it struck! 9. [url]http://s28.postimg.org/aua7x36wt/Destiny_20150928171534.jpg[/url] - bad connections 10. [url]http://s28.postimg.org/ku54czi65/Destiny_20150928174544.jpg[/url] - pretty bad connections 11. [url]http://s28.postimg.org/4keya37i5/Destiny_20150928174546.jpg[/url] - not the same match as the #10 one 12. [url]http://s28.postimg.org/60qgs8af1/Destiny_20150928175156.jpg[/url] - 3 red bar players were teleporting around, reported them all for cheating. The other team won back from a large deficit at the end because they were lag switching cross map with swords D: Frustrating!
