Many players consider dedicated servers to be the solution to the lag problem in Destiny : dedicated servers. Will they come with the expansion “The Taken King?”
The “dedicated servers” are a sensitive issue in Destiny. The community demands them, believing that they could solve the lag problems especially in Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris.
Their idea: certain dedicated servers would only be used to host PvP games. Players would connect to this server where the game would take place. This is believed to be the only correct solution by many players who are annoyed by lag, lag switchers, and numerous other problems in the Crucible.
Will they come with The Taken King? Bungie responds
Can players expect that they will come with “The Taken King”? No, not specifically for The Taken King, it is stated in an interview with IGN. Community Manager Eric Osborne replied that there are many dedicated servers standing in a military bunker used to store various things, such as the players’ Guardians and much more. There is hardware worth millions there.
So the question, Osborne continued, is more about whether there is lag in the Crucible or not. Here, they will continue to work on the technology with “The Taken King” and improve network technology. A large team of specialists is working on it, communicating a lot with ISP providers, and has already been in contact with US colleges to tweak their router settings.
And they are continuously working to improve hardware and software. With every server maintenance, further improvements are made. Currently, the problem occurs in Trials of Osiris and Iron Banner because players congregate here and there is a lot at stake.
The answer is likely a disappointment for Destiny players
Mein MMO says: This is likely a disappointment for many PvP fans. The answer was rather evasive. There was neither a “No, never,” nor a “Yes, we’ll come eventually” to hear. A small glimmer of hope. Bungie is definitely aware of the problem and at least promises “hardware” improvements.
Why they ultimately did not fulfill the community’s wish for dedicated PvP servers was left unanswered.
