In the MMO shooter Destiny , a hotfix 2.1.1.3 is set to be released next week. The goal is once again to reduce the lag in the Crucible.
This week’s weekly letter to the Destiny community is quite thin. A new stream show has been announced for next Thursday, March 10. They want to keep the community engaged over the next few weeks and showcase different aspects of the development process. After last week’s focus on the Dreadnaught and its design, they will return to the Twitch studio on Wednesday.
There, they plan to introduce the audio team and promise a video documentation never seen before on the topic “Audio in Destiny.”
Most Aggressive Matchmaking Settings Yet
A hotfix is also scheduled for Tuesday, March 8. Patch 2.1.1.3 will introduce “new, even more aggressive” matchmaking settings for the Crucible that take even less account of skill differences than the current ones, resulting in even less lag. These rules will apply to all playlists. The damage referee will also be active, penalizing “laggers.”
This is the provisional peak of a development that has been noticeable in recent weeks.
As Bungie states: The matchmaking’s primary goal is for players to experience as little lag as possible . The second goal is to prevent extremely good players from facing very weak players. However, they will never prioritize a skill difference over a high lag risk.
Regarding the elephant in the room: When will they finally tell us something about the PvE patch? DeeJ said: Corresponding stream shows are being planned. Players should still practice patience until they give them a stronger reason to unload their favorite weapon into an alien. They definitely deserve it.
On Friday at 10:00 AM, Xur will be there. We will be there to welcome him.
