  • True Dedicated servers , I can see Pings and True pings not some made up server ping. Real shit , Then we can call this Crucible Competitive . Until then it's all Arcade just like back in 56K era.

    • Started a new topic: $45 dollars for dedicated servers.

    • On a serious note though, Bungie would be looking at approximately $1.32 per active user a year to have dedicated servers.

      • Wow. The lack of knowledge is strong in this one. Their servers would need to handle hundreds of thousands at a time. They would need a system at least 20 times that size.

              • Alright Pone: this time I understood that reference. Let me tell you how I became an MLG Crucible player. Back in my first time through the 2nd grade, I saw my gamer tag in a Lets Play video. "Wow, you're like, ridiculously good at shooting. Maybe you could like, do this for a living or something." And now I'm like, one of the greatest players of all time. Cool.

                          • A point made with humor is always a point well made. That being said it would help a great deal but to have a hope at fixing it they have to make matches on connections as a priority. Matching people half way across the globe will always have a problem.

                              • And that's not for a server housing thoundands of people at a time. What they need would cost thousands.

                                    Sorry, but this is an extremely ignorant view. $45 for a barebones server that isn't optimized for a specific game, nor can it handle several instances of the game running at once. You're also looking at a US price, but there would need to be server FARMS around the world in several strategic places. This requires planning. It requires rewriting game code to run on a dedicated server versus peer-to-peer. It requires PURCHASING (not renting rinky-dink machines, which is what you're looking at) the hardware. It involves so much more than what you might think. Let's break this down: [b]NOTE - the following is an [i]extremely[/i] low estimate[/b] 1) General planning: At least 75 man hours at an average salary of ~$30/hr * 20 or so employees. $45,000 2) Purchasing quality servers, internet service, etc: minimum of $400 per machine @ ~ 200 machines worldwide. $80,000 2) Development of dedicated server support: At least 75 man hours at an average salary of ~$30/hr * 15 or so employees. $33,750 4) Patch certification across all platforms: A few thousand per considering man hours. Let's say $10,000 total 5) Post-deployment support: minimum $8,000/year Minimum cost: $176,750. Remember that's COST, and doesn't take into account the amount of time it will take

                                    • Just because it's a dedicated server doesn't mean it's a good one, GoDaddy offers dedicated servers for websites and that's over 150$ a month, a good dedi for a game like destiny would be a lot more than that. Could Bungie afford dedicated servers? Of course they could but at the cost of the money they milk from us, so dedi's are out of the question at the moment lol hail the all mighty overlord activision and all that

                                          • Lol.. the thing is even if they invested a few million into a good server base all it takes is that one guy who lives in Qatar that has a coat hanger duck taped onto a camel for an internet connection to screw the game up. Even dedicated servers require some degree of lag compensation and if you get guys on satellite or camelnet it's going to suck. If they just implemented regional matchmaking and a minimum ping requirement things would improve greatly. There should never be matches that have over 100 milliseconds of latency. The other option is you could buy a netDuma and set it so you do not connect with other players who have bad connections like that
