This is why I hate Iron Banner sometimes.

We have now played an hour, lost every game, experienced weird lag, and I am at exactly the same experience as when we started. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement.

All the matches you're losing will give you even more experience and reputation than winning! In just three days, you'll be the best of the best simply by losing every match!

It's not specific as to how many matches you have to lose, but hey! Losing is fun!

Let's just lose!

We can all just stand in a row while the other team splits up Unbroken Marks with all three territories! 20,000 to 0!

The only reason I'm in this week is to at least get something from that miserable sadistic bastard up in the Tower before Bungie closes those doors forever. After this, I'm quitting Crucible.

And Ragashingo, if you want less stress in your Destiny experience, I'll be on Archer's Line, sitting on my Sparrow with an outstretched hand.

I like how lag is roughly equivalent to losing in your eyes :)

You know, it kinda is. If the other team out plays me or out shoots me that's fine. If they're not taking damage or blipping all over the map then I'll be unhappy even if I'm winning.

The lag is far more frustrating to me than the losing. If I lose to a team that beat me with skill, I feel like "good game guys. Damn you've got skills." If I lose because my golden gun doesn't deal any damage and I get shotgunned through walls all day, I feel like "F this game." And the lag is always worse during Iron Banner.

We were playing last night around 11-12 EST. LOTS OF LAG. At first I thought it was me then everyone else started complaining. it was crazy. The lag only applied to the zones and 1 titan on the enemy team. everyone else was killable.

I played a four games last night with Lichtonatus, Slycrel, Guardian513, Yapok, and Lich's friend Charlie14575.

The lag last night was insane for us as well (half of our team was across the pond so maybe?), I unloaded three golden gun shots into someone and it sill didn't take him down. We also had one map on Cauldron (which seems to be REALLY bad. I have yet to have a good experience on that map where it's not buggy as hell.

There was one game last night on Pantheon where NONE of us could do any damage to a specific opponent and it was very trying on one's patience.

Let's just say we were not on a hot streak last night. Looking forward to remedying that tomorrow.

No one could pick it up. Kept trying but obviously got rocketed to oblivion as we stood there. We should have moved on really, but that big purple "Get your rockets here!" sign is so enticing.

I think Charlie picked it up eventually, but it sounded like he was having worse lag than any of us so he couldn't kill anything with it.

EDIT: Runner up for favourite moment: Getting one-shotted by a normal melee while in Arc Blade at full health.

I'll be on tonight so we can redeem ourselves though!

I had some of this exact same issues last night. Getting one punched while in arc blade and dying and then the heavy ammo not allowing me to pick it up.

Yea We also were having some wierd lags in the Vault last night. Oracles didnt even spawn once! all in all it was very irritating. Only to make matters worse we all got aspects of glass. Only good drops were Bigarms Fatebringer and a few armor drops for myself.

Definitely hitting the Banner of Iron hot tonight, unless I can get a Trials team going, that wants to go all the way!

I know there's no dedicated servers, but the problems seem really widespread this week. Can't all be on the users end, surely?

nah it was definitely bungie/psn. Bigarm kept getting kicked out of our chat/party yesterday too during the vault run. very strange things afoot.

I read that and my immediate reaction was "Are English people known for keeping weird pets? Do we have a large penguin population? Where would I even get a penguin to send him?"

EDIT: Also yes. American chocolate is awful rubbish.

My thought, too.

Yes, unfortunately.

Could it have something to do with much larger player populations in crucible compared to an average week?

If there are more players, games should be LESS likely to lag, since the game has a wider selection of low-ping clients to match you with.

well PLAYERS would be less likely to lag.

All of the PvE zones are hosted by dedicated servers. How hard is it to make some of those into PvP dedicated hosts instead? It's the same number of players, they're just involved in different activities.

Just the scripting, not the physics. Players still host that.

Had a great time even with the weirdness.

Was reminiscent of our past attempts at VoG hard, except we did it!

(Got some armor I haven't gotten, but none of the big three--Fatebringer, Gjallerhorn, or Vex, but that's okay--my 365 Thunderlord thundered last night.)

I so wish it weren't true.

EDIT: This is most assuredly a skill-based outcome, not lag-based.

hahahaha its the total opposite for me. I do better when I have a talking team. Morale boost

I enjoy playing with friends more in a lot of ways, but when I play solo every third game or so I do pretty well, decent stats, upper half of the team. That doesn't happen with DBOers. :(

i find this to be true. I think it has to do with getting paired with higher level opponents when I team up.

That being said, prioritizing connection like they do in ToO should have been added to IB this time around. I think unoudid brought that point up last night.

Yeah, things were really rough last night. Not sure how many times I would shoot people and have absolutely zero damage register. unload a full clip of TLW into a guy rushing straight at me and the die to one punch. Talk about infuriating.

Hopefully they will bring the new ToO system to Iron Banner next time. Then at least I can die because of skill level instead of a glitchy system.

This is why I love Iron Banner most of the time:

Gjally + Legendary scout rifle in the same endmatch drop, on a really laggy nail-in-the-coffin.. and on my least-used character, for that matter. Level 31 amidst level 34s.. altho with ascended ice breaker and ascended timur's lash with luck/chamber + explosive rounds :-3

There's an 1:15 and no reputation gain.
