In the MMO shooter Destiny the Iron Banner is back, along with the lag.
Everyone knows it, everyone says it, but somehow Bungie just doesn’t hear it: Your game has a serious lag problem. The Peer2Peer solution you have for the servers might be cheap for you, but it often makes PvP unplayable.
The Iron Banner amplifies the problem every time and makes it more apparent.
Now with tripleWreck, one of the world’s best-known and top PvP players, has made this clear:
Lag has reached the point of completely ruining the PvP experience of Destiny alone. It’s on your end and you need to fix it @Bungie.

“The lag has reached a point where it is completely ruining the PvP of Destiny alone. This is your problem, Bungie. You need to address it.”
tripleWreck is one of the most popular US streamers for Destiny and was once a guest in an important live stream from Bungie.
He further states: He doesn’t want any DLC, no balance patches, until Bungie has solved this major problem. Compared to Battlefront, Halo 5 or the latest Call of Duty, the lag problem makes a difference like day and night. With the latest updates, it has actually gotten worse.
The image we used as a title also comes from tripleWRECK. It shows dedicated servers and the accusation that they are missing due to cost reasons. With the quote “Even EA pays for this shit.”
With Destiny the last time, in August, the comments on dedicated servers were evasive. It somewhat admitted that there are problems but said they are continuously working on the netcode and matchmaking. Dedicated servers were neither ruled out nor was there any hope supported that they might come eventually.
With dedicated servers, matches would basically take place “at Bungie,” not at individual players, as they currently do.
What do you think about the situation? Are you suffering from lag in PvP? Do you find that it has gotten better or worse lately?
