Current state of the Crucible is absolutely ridiculous (The one about the lag).
I have no idea how many things have gone wrong with this patch, but the lag in the Crucible is worse than ever before.
Iron Banner can be described as lag free, in comparison.
The matchmaking seems to be fundamentally broken, as every lobby I am in either has at least 3 red bars, 6 yellow bars or everyone is yellow bar.
Shots take forever to register, melee charges are getting consumed, yet no damage is being dealt.
Bullets simply disappear (some call them phantom bullets).
I am getting sniped, yet no lense flare shows up (or the last 40 people are apparently the best quickscopers in Destiny).
People do not appear on the Radar, even though they aren't invisible.
Getting killed through walls is also a new favourite pastime of mine.
PvP is currently pretty broken, in terms of connection quality.
Edit:
Thanks for all the replies, up votes and agreement.
It's very reassuring when a lot of people experience similar things.
Something went horribly wrong with this patch, concerning the connection quality and hit detection of melee attacks.

Agreed

Edited by jay p: 12/18/2015 8:14:35 PMIt seems to be when the host has a shit internet connection. Just had a game where there was no hit detection, people were on and off the radar without kneeling, lag galore. I wish I could just play with green bars. Fück people with bad internet.

2 RepliesSnipers are causing all the lag from camping in the back like a fgt bush wookie hogging up the bandwidth and sh1t

5 RepliesWhere did it say matchmaking was skill based been trying to find it? As if p2p wasn't bad enough you get paired with people that have horrendous latency.

1 ReplyAgree with all. now I play when I'm in the mood to get my WTF on. lol

1 ReplyWhile I might not share your full experiences with this lag since I don't pvp, I can at least speak on the behalf with the sparrow racing. I, too, have noticed a ridiculous amount of lag. I had a race the other night, was in first on the mars track, then all of a sudden, I was in third with two people who just appeared in front of me. My internet is not that bad that it was on my end. Don;t know what happened. There. And those stupid twitching fans. I think those things have claimed more lives than the black plague from the lag sometimes.

Edited by InsectShelf3: 12/18/2015 7:35:48 PMA popular theory is that they ninja patched the matchmaking algorithm to look for matches closer related skill wise compared to location wise. Furthermore on this theory is that they might be testing this out for ranked matches in a competitive ranked play list (not trials, like CSGO style ranking ladder) You may be getting matched with similar skill players from places like Mexico or South America, or in extreme cases. Europe and Russia. Possibly Japan

1 ReplyI don't think it was the patch; it has always been that way from my perspective...

Last patch?? This is how crucible has been for me since day one. Thanks to SRL I can actually get some crucible rep.

19 RepliesEdited by Rynoceros: 12/18/2015 2:18:38 AMDear Bungie, It's okay that Activision went the cheap route and opted for P2P connections (unlike those turds at EA, who at least have the decency to support their product with dedicated servers) but could you maybe convince them to ping lock the connections? We, as your gaming community, would prefer to spend an extra 60-240 seconds in Orbit waiting for a stable match than one setup instantly with the host providing 800ms worth of lag. Sincerely, Everybody who has played this game over the past year and a half. P.S. Fire your Game Manager or prepare for D2 to succumb to the same faults. Slow development of content and patches, and the prioritization of revenue over playability will not buy back a jaded and disappointed playerbase.

IS THIS LAG?? CUZ IDK ANYMORE!! UGH

3 RepliesDon't forget you can drown in lag now with all green bars showing also. Still don't get that but it is more common than ever also.

2 RepliesEdited by cameroniscam: 12/18/2015 6:06:29 PMFor a $60+, AAA, FPS title the lag in this game is just downright unacceptable.
-
Yeah, I love getting wall sniped too
-
Be happy pvp is still kinda playable, the raid got hit worse with lag
-
You think thats bad? I was stuck in the ceiling last week in trials in The Drifter and we lost the round. This game is SO broken smh
-
It makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one being killed by phantom bullets :):)
-
Absolutely agree!!! The crucible has degraded and is no longer fun. Please auto kick the red bars and create separate lag fest lobby for them!
-
It's the same in ALL game modes. The lag since patch it sometimes unplayable. It's too late for dedicated servers that would require a full rewrite. But they could sort out the way their P2P works. Warframe uses P2P and I never suffer any lag. They do it by region and ping. As much as I love playing with the American friends I have made (I'm in England) Bunglevisions current networking system sometimes makes that rather large ocean seem like a lightyear across.

Edited by drunkenwarrior: 12/18/2015 5:40:51 PMI'm from uk and all my lobbies are American,disadvantage from the start,that's the problem matchmaking is not by connection,it's by skill supposedly,bullets just disappear.

1 ReplyEdited by Brazello: 12/18/2015 4:41:38 PMI pretty much stopped playing pvp because how bad the matchmaking is now. I've always had a strong distaste for the condition of the lagfest called Iron Banner and now every single match feels like iron banner. I'm pretty sure multiple cross-world countires shouldn't be getting matched up against eachother all the time. Makes for a really bad experience for everybody. My pvp playtime is at an all time minimum till they fix this crap

1 ReplyEdited by PedalOnTheRight: 12/18/2015 2:40:32 PMNo other game I play online lags like Destiny pvp, nothing errors out as much or freezes like Destiny PVP Playing Halo 5 on dedicated servers has highlighted how crappy the pvp is on Destiny There is no excuse for releasing an ONLINE ONLY game in 2014 without dedicated servers

1 ReplyWARNING: A boring video. Had a terrible rumble match a few days ago, what OP said is all represented in this match. Not self-promoting, my gunskill is meh and my editing is double meh..... Red-bars, yellow bars for all players, and best of all, TITAN BLINK!
-
Yeah I swear to God if I hit someone with one more melee that either restores health or gives a shield only to just die anyway (and h ave my charge consumed) I'm gonna flip a table. So beyond sick of the lag at this point, people sniping me in an instant without even aiming (often around corners/behind cover) sticky grenades and supers not killing the list goes on... And I guarantee you they absolutely don't give a rat's ass at all.

1 ReplyI havent seen the same issues. Maybe they are doing connection based match making
-
5 RepliesAccording to a tweet, matchmaking was not tweaked in any way. It's due to a large volume of players playing SRL
