Best Players in Destiny are the ones with Bad Internet

Theres no point being good at the game anymore because when you come up against someone with a bad connection you know your gonna die, these guys teleport all across the map to then suddenly be behind your back with a shotgun to shoot your brains out like there connection is fine, but then they start teleporting all over the place again I really enjoy this game but i know that i cant compete against a red bar when i see one

    • Yea I bought good internet to make sure I wasn't at a disadvantage in pvp games. But in Destiny I am. What's up with that? lol

    • Just had my highest game ever (7145 score). Usually I have stellar Internet connection. Today is red bar for some reason. So naturally I had 27 kills and a 4.5 kd ratio. Lol. Most kills I've ever posted. Would been more but we won in like 6 minutes. (Control)

    • It didn't work out for me the other day with my titan. I was red bar the whole time and couldn't go over 1.0 kd. I'd shoot guys and they wouldn't lose health, It also seemed like I was always a second or two behind the guy who killed me.

    • People that honestly believe a bad connection is better than a good connection, need to get a reality check. Lmfao it's pathetic

      • Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth. This is why I stopped PvP all together. No matter how skilled we are, the red bar is a Bungies way of saying, fuk you. This games server is a joke.

        • My lag has the reverse effect on me, that's why I very rarely play.

          I,ve read alot of comments below & ppl are saying bungie servers cant handle the load. Since when does bungie run servers in pvp? My understanding was that bungie are running a hybrid service i.e. file servers that handle all your data but the gameplay aspects of the game are being hosted i.e. pvp/strikes/raids etc. This game isnt using dedicated servers.... as far as i know & thats why ppl are lagging so badly.

        • I have noticed this as well. Pumping clips of ammunition, grenades, and melee attacks into a person, only to have them warp behind me and kill me. So while I'm respawning I bring up the score, and lo and behold! They invariably have a red latency indicator. This is infuriating and needs to stop.

            The latest Iron Banner (IB)... the lag off and on has been horrible. We were up by 5000 points, with about 5 minutes to go, in one specific game, and the lag hit, and it happen to benefit 2 or 3 of the opposite team, and we lost by more than 500 points. Insane. Next evening, same thing basically each evening lag has significant impacted IB. Sometimes it benefits us, but most of the time so far, benefited the opposite team(s). Thinking this might be systemic, played a bit of PvE within a few minutes of the latest lag event, and surprise Priest Strike, horrible lag, worst I have ever seen in Destiny. I don't expect perfection, but seriously, this is getting worse. I have very high qualify internet access given my IT career, and have the tools and methods to evaluate network traffic, this lag issue is not consistently internet based, but seems to be source capacity based from the service infrastructure Destiny is platformed on. During the lag issues, twice have invoked network capture and parallel loading, and the parallel load experienced no log, so in the last to cases, the lag source was well upstream from my internet access. What is interesting is that until 1.1.1 and 1.1.1.1 updates, have seen a significant number of lionfish and weasel errors, before 1.1.1 and 1.1.1.1, I could count the number of such errors errors on one hand, how it would take 3 or 4 hands minimum. Never mind, seeing 'destiny server could not be contacted' errors daily the last 10 days or so.

            • Happening in every game now. The guy with the bad connection always seems to top the scores on either team, and its because they are practically invincible most of the time. Had a game where I shoulder charged someone, then proceeded to melee the crap out of him only for him to run off and die to someone's grenade >.> That shit should not be happening Bungie. Sort it out!

              • This is from an article that i found.... "Enabling this holy grail of online gaming are two important technologies. The first is Destiny's hybrid networking design, which locates itself somewhere between the server/client relationship of MMOs, where the world you're playing runs almost entirely on a distant server, and the peer-to-peer system of most online console gaming, where information is traded directly between players' machines. It's this approach that also enables Destiny to deliver the skilled, fast-paced action gameplay that MMOs have historically struggled to do."

                • Most annoying shit I had happen was someone literally had god mode on during crucible in rumble. That got annoying when running around trying to complete bounties and run into someone doing that in game and then they dance/t-bag your body like they killed you with skill.

                • This happens a lot. I myself had pretty bad internet since i use my phones hotspot, but as far as i know i dont skip around the map like that. Atleast ive never had anybody complain to me about it

                • They're using lag switches on crucible. Guy running, i start shooting him then he keeps running foward like a tank, teleports other side of map. Ever since that guy on Youtube showed kids how to lag switch Crota, they're using it on crucible now. It's real obvious when someone uses it and i can tell the difference between " bad internet" to "lag switching". I report them everytime. Losers.

                • The main thing that bothers me is going from full health to 1/4 health as soon as you see someone. If they have a hawkmoon or timurs lash i expect it, but not a low impact auto rifle. When the maps are running "smooth" for lack of a better term, the it's amazing gunplay and challenging. A good indicator is the moving cylinder wall on blind watch. If its twitchy, crap game.

                • I have a red connection most crucible games, yet I normally end up in the bottom 2 in the results page. I'm probably just terrible at pvp....

                • I agree. The issue has come up in the last couple of weeks after christmas. I suspect that my connection has not gone from alright to crap in two weeks, so I suspect the servers are overworked and not coping. Especially since my connection is fine when I exit the crucible.
