Matchmaking Update - 2/19/2016

[b]Crucible Warriors,[/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/192373140/0/0]Earlier this week[/url], we announced the deployment of new matchmaking settings intended to reduce lag and set you against opponents with a good connection. Feedback on performance has been positive, so we are continuing to make improvements. This is fine tuning. If you enjoyed the new settings we deployed on Wednesday, it's likely you'll still have a good time. Testing of new settings will continue throughout this weekend in [b]Control[/b]. Get in there and sample the level of competition, as well as the gameplay quality. Be sure to tell us what you think. Even if all you do is play, the data you're feeding us is golden. Our goals are still to provide some good, clean, stable fun that can be enjoyed by players at every skill level - even if they play on the same team. It's a delicate balance to strike. Thanks for your continued participation in the process.

    • Played some Clash today, overall was good fun. Feels like year 1 crucible.

    • Couldn't get into a game earlier at all took so long the players in the lobby left before it got close to full. It's ridiculous

      • My buddies and i were playing trials and there was alot of lag. Alot! Got a loss once from it, like three times we got lag and it ended up kicking an opponent out of the game, and once it lagged and kicked an opponent and one of my teammates (my teammate who was kicked was on the same connection as me). Terrible.

      • It's not better. Matchmaking has been screwy since this 'new' roll out. 3 months ago one could find good matches, now it's a study in masochism. It has devolved to the point of not being any fun at all. And, since there is no new content, it begs the question why someone would continue to play this game at all. I am one of the many that only have Destiny for Xbox One, and it's a real shame that the game that inspired me to get the console is so terrible I wish I had never wasted the money.

        • Honestly I no longer get to enjoy PVP. My respect to all the people at Bungie for their combined effort in making Destiny. It's just that it feels like the party is ending...

          I think the connections have improved, thanks a lot for that! Overall hit/bullet registration seemed fine, also melees appeared to be registering at a more reliable rate. Only occasionally would I see someone teleporting/lagging heavily. I can't really judge if the damage referee had done its job in those situations, but what I noticed was that the "guardian down"-animation of either the laggy player or me was rather awkward at times (falling/twisting weirdly). This could mean that the damage referee forces someone's death and overrides the normal/natural physics whatsoever. All in all, I'm having a better experience in Control matches. However, my opinion is still that the matchmaking should be entirely connection based, whereas the option for a ranked playlist should be implemented (along with private matches).

            • A few weeks back when there was 6v6 freelance mode, might just be me but.. It actually felt like vanilla days, good connections and players weren't playing every match like it was crucible world championships, I actually had fun in that mode

              • I've played a fair amount of Control over the last few days. Lag seems to have been reduced, so that's a plus. What's most surprising though is that the "Meta" weapons like Mida and 1kys have become less popular. There's a nice variety going on. It's definitely less sweaty. Drawback is, that without the SBMM, matches easily get one-sided. But that's alright with me, i'd rather lose a game while having a lag-free experience than the other way round. +1 from me.

                I've had the good and the bad [u]The Good[/u] I've seen people lag but not have advantages in firefights (which make me happy). I shoot them they teleport they shot me I receive no damage(which shows in this instance damage referee has worked). [u]The Bad[/u] I've had my god roll Thesan FR4 not kill Guardians point blank not paying attention to me and not die. I have also killed people from a range I know I should(which makes me confused). What I'm saying is why can I melt people from distances that are great but have my killstreak end because I couldn't kill a guardian in point blank range... [u]End Result[/u] What I am seeing so far in control is some good and some bad(still more good). At some point I would like to see this in skirmish, salvage, and rumble. [spoiler]I would prefer no sbmm but you are determined to keep at it so no point in asking for that[/spoiler]

              • The damage referee thing is completely non existent. I can't tell you how many times red bars have stilled killed me. I'm glad you guys are aware of the issue but this needs to be fixed, and actually fixed

                • So after playing my fair share of control games I have just 1 problem with the games. I have gotten great quality connection matches, but I have had to wait like 3 minutes every match to find a match. I would give up a little bit of connection in order to not have to wait so long. In fact I typed this in the time it took to find a match.

                  • Not fixed. Worse. Trials been terrible. Screen shows all green bars but lagging, shot round corners, bullets not registering, shoot someone no damage run around corner and reload then kill registers 2 seconds later. Check conection. All green bar. Dont think fixed just manipulated green bars as a cover up. Bunjie conspiracy # 1000

                  • All i know is... With this upcoming spring update and "light increase" on the horizon, they BETTER GIVE US [u][b]A LOT[/b][/u] MORE VAULT SPACE! As a Day 1 loyal player i'd like to keep my favorite weapons and gear, even if they are just trophies. More than double the space for wapons and armor, misc category needs very little if any.

                  • Stop all work and support for PVP. Go back to Day 1 and give the players everything for PVE you all at Bungie sold us on. You guys want players back and to maybe start fixing your rotten reputation, focus all efforts to PVE. Give people what they all ready paid for since Day 1. Stop selling broken expacs. Stop selling emotes and Silver. Stop ripping people off.

                        Maybe fix PVE bungie (I know it's not your fault as you have no authority over fixing pve or pvp) So I'm blaming everyone else in your damn company Edit : I'm not blaming the janitors because they didn't do anything wrong 😂
