So I was doing hard mode kings fall earlier, and just finished. It took us 5 hours. We were all very skilled and knew what we were doing (except for 1). Our lowest light level was 312, and got to 317 by the end of the raid. Why did it take so long then?
One persons connection.
My internet usually runs 15mb on a bad day, and 25 normally. Usually I experience a lot of lag, but there was this one random in the game. He was a 317 hunter. We tried to invite him to a party, but he disconnected as soon as he joined. Then, while we were in game chat, I could not hear half of our raid group. He had no idea what to do, went afk constantly, and had horrible connection. Somehow is connection was so bad that it started making everyone have red bar connection. We tried to ask him if his internet was bad, but he would completely ignore us. And the one time he answered, he tried to blame it on me. We went to orbit and came back multiple times. We spent around 2 or 3 hours on the beginning all the way to golgoroth. Then, we did sisters in one or two runs and got to oryx. A few hours into oryx, failing every time because of him dying or him not killing 4th knight, (he was mid), he pulled the obvious "oh uh guys I think I have to get off in a few minutes my parents are telling me to go." It was 7:00, obviously fake, but we didn't say anything because we were all tired of the raid. Then, another guy left, we got two new randoms, and did it in about an hour. We just got our rewards, decrypted engrams, and got offline.
I don't know why I am even posting this, but I think that it is stupid that some players connections can be so bad, and they try to deny it or blame another person. If you have bad connection, just please do us a favor and if people try to tell you that your connection is bad, listen to them, and if you can't fix it, leave. Some raid groups try not to be d!cks and won't kick you, like my group. But I just wasted so much time because of bad connection.

That raid KD though...even a good connection wouldn't have helped you haha.

Bearbeitet von QMR://DH779: 3/23/2016 7:24:10 AMYou weren't all skilled and knew what to do simple as that. And btw you or who ever was party leader should have had the sense to kick him long before. You don't owe any random player anything, if they are going to waste the precious minutes of your life mindless repeating the same task over and over because someone can't get it together, well that's your own fail. Kick those people and find someone who knows what they are doing. You will be happier.

Wow I did 4 hard mode kf raids and 3 nf today in less time than that, just wow
-
no team coordination your group just didnt mesh
-
You do realise that not everyone gets as much time as you may have on destiny? I'm part of that group, because maybe some people have personal matters that are way more important than a stupid game? As much as I agree with you about bad connection, you can't moan about someone who says "I have to go, my parents are calling me", maybe that guys parents are calling him to go see his Ill granny? Maybe that kid is away to do something LIFE CHANGING. He could be playing music in front of a small audience and getting noticed for his talent? if you moan at him, he may lose his time and spend one less moment with the family who are in a car crash the next day! Think about your actions. Just because it was 7:00 doesn't mean that that's his usual time he has to come off, he could be doing something important, nothing fake. Next time, Think...

I stay in hotels a lot, so my connection can sometimes be very poor. If my connection starts messing the raid up I'll tell the guys to find another member and I'll just keep the numbers up while they're waiting for a new player. It's poor programming though, only the laggy connection should get problems.

If I want to get things done quickly message me GT same 315 Titan ,313 hunter,302 lock ik how u feel o give people 3 trys and then they get kicked or I leave
-
Sounds ridiculous. Would have apologized and wished him good luck, then kicked him about 20 minutes in.
-
Or you can nut up and kick them rather than waste everyone's time
-
Ran 3 full hard raids in less time today and I'm using wifi
-
You can run ps4 destiny with 5ms download speed and .5 upload without more than a yellow bar if your pings doing good, now assuming the games hosting system gave him host and he lived a decent distance from you, evidence being the entire groups connection dying, it wasn't his internet but bungies servers failing to give a correct host and your groups choosing of a player far from you that caused the lag. His internet could be 25 and still red bar, I've seen it personally.
-
This is the dumbest thing I have read all day.
-
I only have 2mb download and play fine, just don't let me host lol
-
If one player is lagging I tell the group that it's either he gets kicked or I'm leaving.
-
No kick? You let this guy stay the whole time???
-
Why did nobody kick him?. If 1 guy getting cut helps out the other 5, the greater good prevails. Its a hard decision to make, but it needed to be done. Could have saved your team 5 hours lol.
-
It's sad you have to make excuses for taking so long in an easy raid.
-
I kick red bars anytime I'm the fireteam leader. If you play with Wi-Fi or crappy Internet, go play pvp.

I once spent 9 hours on Skolas during Arc Burn week and never completed it. And at no point did any of us disconnect
