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.
-
According to a tweet, matchmaking was not tweaked in any way. It's due to a large volume of players playing SRL
-
Maybe it's your connection
-
What the flying -blam!-... I just tried to do the daily clash... I looked at everyones profile flying in. All different colored connection bars. I'm from North Central USA n the enemy... UK Germany Spain Latin America Mexico I died a few times to horrendous lag and closed my app. WHAT THE ACTUAL -blam!- BUNGIE?!?
-
The worst is playing any subclass on any class witha burning mêlée only to punchh them and they get away without being set on fire
-
noticed almost every of your complaints ... last time i was in ToO i was hit by snipers and while they were in plain sight (popped up red after i died) i havent seen any lens flare at all.. got killed by opponents after i shot them, then they ran away and died on the way.. almost 2 -3 seconds after they should have died... also my shot even registered at the guardian next to my target.. ..
-
I favorited this. Just played 2 matches since the last update....HOLY SHIT! Lag is the worst it's ever been! In 2 games I experienced: - 3 punches and still no kill on a guy - getting shot when I was clearly behind cover -titan smash then almost get killed for 5 seconds after before the guy finally died -snipe a guy, think that I missed for a couple seconds, then I die behind cover again, and then I get a post mortem sniper head shot kill 2 seconds later -shotguns up close just don't work for me -shoulder charge directly into somebody only for them to run away unscathed So idk is this about the normal size list of things to go wrong in 2 matches for everyone or is it just me? Fix your game that you broke Bungie!
-
Yes. All the things you listed have become a massive problem, all thanks to Bungie/ Activision not having dedicated servers. They should be ashamed of themselves.
-
Holllla! +1. Signed. Me, too Couldn't agree more...

WARNING! BAD ENGLISH I have no clue about how networking works, but i find it amazing that the delay and lag is just as bad now as it was in 2004..When i played halo 2, 1 Mbps download and 600 Kbps upload was a pretty good connection to host 4v4 games. When we played Americans it was pretty bad, but not bad enough that we lost against bad players.. In destiny we get crushed by players that stat-wise are worse then we are.. by that i mean players with 0.8 k/d etc. How has this not improved, considering people very often have 100 mbps up and down fiber connections?
-
Not sure why but the name of your thread sounds like an episode of friends(The one with the birth). [spoiler]back to serious matters yes lag has been especially annoying. Kill someone and a grenade magically flies of our their corpse to kill me.[/spoiler]
-
Gotta agree with everything. Something is wrong since the last update
-
-
Even PvE is a disaster right now. Just disbanded Challenge Mode once again because it is lagging to the point of being completely unplayable. My Crucible stats are being absolutely destroyed by this crap. I've gone from 1.4 with randoms and no mic to struggling to get 1.0 even on a fireteam. Speedtest.net said I'm getting 90 Mbps down, 12 up, so I don't want to hear any more bullshit about how I need to get a better Internet plan and try to blame it on me. Something is wrong with THIS GAME.

-
I noticed an up tick but a lot of drama queens in here tonight....it's not that bad if you have decent internet....
-
bump, 5 games in a row this morning with 3 or more red bars on opposite team
-
BUMP the lag is real.. And bungie need to acknowledge this!
-
True. I have been shot through walls toooo much since the last patch
-
The game is matching you with people from all over the world, that's the biggest issue. Bungie is saying nothing changed but that's a load of bull. I've got the netduma router and I have an insane amount of screenshots of lobbys I've been in that's got connections from all over the world.
-
Yep, I stop playing Destiny because of this; shame you Bungie.
-
> I have no idea how many things have gone wrong with this patch They silently changed the match making algorithm to favor skill over connection. So you get higher skilled *lagging* players. Awesome.
-
I can vouch for this as well. Pvp is pretty damn bad right now. I'd rather deal with Thorn during year 1, then the frustration that is the crucible right now. Bungie needs to address this in their weekly update or something. At least mention something about what possibly could have caused the crucible to be such a lag-fest.
-
This so much. Unfortunately Bungie's response is: wait until Sparrow Racing is gone and the lag goes away. Kinda a shame.
-
The same amount of lag for me, i live in aus so its bad as is
-
Needs dedicated servers like cod, so if u Redbar, it only affects yourself and no 1 else. Also I'm from aus and sick of matching the same people day after day..... Fix ur shit BUNGIE I know a lot of people who have quit bcos it's so boring
-
I'm glad it's not just me lol. I was actually starting to feel crazy, looking at the connections and seeing green, but people popping up out of nowhere, shots coming through walls, melees not connecting.
