Crossplay needs a break until there are designated servers.

It's sad that I can load into a pvp match and without looking at the roster, immediately know I'm matching against xbox players. The crossplay lag (call it what you want lag, animation stutter, whatever) is -blam!-. There are people who claim it's not that bad, or that it doesn't effect gameplay but when I can provide clip after clip of people literally stuttering through battles and appearing outside the "fight ring" it's a problem. Personally it means nothing to me, I've painstakingly pushed my way to my unbroken gilded season after season but when you're teamed up with clanmates who are one step shy of quitting because they have never seen 5500 and you cant help them because you're in a sea of "where did he go" and "what the...". Granted I'm not an elite player but under normal circumstances I can at least add to the team effort and hold my own, but phew these lobbies. Adding to the issue is the fact that almost every match is with an xbox player because of the ps5 shortage. I'd rather wait a little longer between matches and know it's gonna be my lack of skill that is the reason for my death.

  • Your statement is too definitive. Bungie has already stated they will never go with dedicated servers. And before anyone tries to use Sony as an excuse, they have agreed to be completely hands off with any executive decisions - that was the terms of the buyout. Now, why won't they go with dedicated servers? Too expensive for very little benefit (in their minds). The hybrid server allows the planets, materials, enemies, spawn points, etc. to be on their servers while P2P allows for easier and direct connections to fireteams. Is it perfect, absolutely not. But, we play with the hands we're dealt. What else can we do?
