Yeah I plugged my PS4 into my desktop monitor and other than the massive eye strain it's a pretty significant difference. Figured it would mostly just be placebo but NOPE

PS4 Pro. And I'm connecting to 5ghz wireless with it, I can't remember if the OG PS4 was 5ghz compatible but I don't think it was. I live on a quiet residential street and I've taken a lot of steps to reduce sources of interference. Like I said, once my ports were forwarded correctly and I got on the right band, my experience with Destiny has been pretty much identical to when I had the PS4 downstairs plugged directly into the router.

I really hope that means that they got the PS4 Pro's (Maybe even the PS4 slim if it shares the chipset) wifi issues sorted and performing better. Seriously thank you for talking about this at all, though, I may actually have a little hope for Wifi gaming going forward

Activision said on their earnings call today that there's gonna be another free update to destiny

It's probably just a "cabals are dropping" public event thing but maybe there will be a final balancing pass???

I really wonder what they are gonna do to trials and banner once D2 drops, it makes sense for them to turn both completely off and just have a "buy destiny 2" screen pop up when you try and launch them. But we shall see.

I forget who said it earlier in the thread, but it looks like you called it: Final event, even after the AoT/Raid Refresh. :golfclap: Slamdunk

Here's to hoping they drop the obfuscated/CLASSIFIED 260 entries (weapons? armor?) in DestinyDB, and that they didn't entirely cut and tease us with the Anathema Cannon

Honestly I'm not sure how much is on Sony's end and how much is just having the patience to work through networking issues and make sure that your home network environment is up to snuff, and reducing as many potential sources of interference as possible. I've spent a lot of time researching routers, networks, different configurations, etc in order to make wifi simple in my house. It's not perfect by any means, for some reason my 2.4 ghz network is really lovely about dropping connections for instance, but the 5ghz is rock solid, and there's no appreciable difference in download speed from wired -> wifi because my max is at 100 MBps anyway. For 30 dollars more I could have gotten 1 gig down but honestly 100 MBps is well more than enough for anything I do anyway.

e: and as it was pointed out by several others, there's a lot of stuff out of your control that can cause problems too. I wouldn't be doing this if I lived in an apartment complex or a higher density neighborhood, for instance.

e2: Being on 5ghz helps a ton, also. A bunch of other devices in my house are only capable of 2.4ghz connections so there tends to be more issues with those competing for bandwith. I think just my phone and then PS4 are connected to my 5ghz band.

tbh most people, even professionals, don't have a lot of patience for working through network optimization, so it wouldn't surprise me terribly if "PS4's wireless sucks" wasn't just a perception issue on consumer part. Wireless generally is not preferable for gaming, but in an environment like yours, well...sky's apparently the limit.

I just chuck my ps4 in the dmz and that works pretty well. Besides for my internet sucking dick, of course.

Yeah, if we're being canon here, "Blade of Famine" is the Bayonet on the front of Touch of Malice...but yet has the flavor text of Skyburners Command Beacon.

Honestly this may just be just a mangled database entry, but that is an awful hard and fast retraction on the part of Activision.

Here's to hoping. :allears:


edit: Ok yeah Ravenous Heart isn't supposed to say that either:
