But then we have managed them before?

How can a connection not like each other? Surely coincidence?

Bah.

Anyway, I might be able to sneak on for an hour or so tonight.

However the good news is that it turns out my sister has broadband and my mate is gonna lend me his x box when I am home. So barring any problems in setting the shit up I will be able to get on over crimbo after all B)

I have no idea, just like I can't explain why I can't connect to you sometimes and vice versa. The last couple of major clanmatches we did was on the 17th so that's fairly recent. I just noticed one time we were playing majors and you came on and we couldn't, not very scientific but I thought it might have something to do with that and the fact we are having other connection probs. I still respect you though, oh glorious overlord <_<

merry christmas to all

Damn!, am I getting annoyed*? I've spent most of the time ducking out of parties to keep the numbers even, only to find I get re-invited whilst playing matchmaking, then to discover my invite is cancelled. Except I got so many invites and every individual didn't cancel. What happens?, I find myself in the middle of an uneven battle. I think, what the hell, I'll play. FFS!, it was on some ghey variant with one life each....boom, dead. Jesus people, we go online to play, not to watch, what a frigging frustrating night, life is too short for this shit, and I suggest these variants won't necessarily improve our clan play either.

* Fuck, yeah.

Happy Christmas, Harlen!

:unsure:

Come on Harlen, Im sure it wasnt that bad. I think one life sounds quite cool. Obviously if you didnt realise then it would of been damn frustrating when you died only not to respawn, especially after waiting a while to get on.

Gutted I didnt get on tonight guys, although I think it was always more wishful thinking than anything. Still packing :D

To be honest, with delays like waiting for the right numbers and joining times, plus occasionally getting kicked, lag issues, the last thing I want to do is sit out after one life. and yes, not knowing made it all the worse.

I should be careful what I wish for, after a few inter-clan oddballs on ascension it was a night of mismatched major clan battles. Usually with us at least one player down playing much higher ranked clans. On one occasion we played a lower ranked and numbered clan, Atarian got kicked and we lost our flag capture. Not one of the better nights....

That was a quality capture as well :D

Still had fun tonight, was just a shame we didnt get many even games. But atleast Major Clan Battle has started working for us again.

That one was quite suspect. From my view I brought the flag home and a new round started, only for me to be kicked out of not only the game but live entirely. We did have some good matches earlier and managed to hold off a bigger and higher ranked team among others. It's only that in the last few games we were put up against bigger teams that consisted of very good but still not gracious players.

By the way Syntax, evidence is mounting that my 'major clan battle problems caused by infallible leader' theory might be right :D

Bit of a strange one last night. My normally excellent connection was screwed last night, I got kicked a few times, was lagging all over the place and on the clanmatch on headlong seemed to be warping all over the place without actually using the warp. :)

However, the interclan team oddball games on Ascension were top draw. I think that's currently my fave gametype. Not convinced about Blast Resort yet, although it was good fun watching Pop Monkey running round taking out the other team on his own, then wishing he had the bomb to actually score before running out of time. ;)

Clan Matchmaking is getting too unbalanced IMO.

Nearly all our games are against higher level clans and they seem to end up with one more player as well.

Add to that the fact the the clan level doesn't represent the average level of the individual members (which I think it should to be honest) and we end up with games like this - http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx...lan=Roll%20Muck - where five of them were level 13 and one was a level 16 against our team of five with the highest level 11 and the rest lower. ;)

I also seem to be getting the Blue Screen in nearly every other game at crucial moments like last night when I was arming a bomb in an empty base only to get the Blue Screen. When it finished reconnecting I was just outside the base so I ran in only to find 3 enemy players waiting for me this time. :)

You should go into Major Clan with 6 people minimum. Most clans do so that's why you're getting matched against 6's.

If you ever get the blue screen and no-one has left after it, you're getting lag-cheated / standy glitched. Make sure you use the ingame feedback to log them as cheaters. Also, one of them should have a full green bar on the connections list and everyone elses should be red.

I know what you mean with the rank differences but to be fair, up to level 10 it's a lottery as people play more minor games so the rank doesn't reflect their true skill. We've been beaten by level 7/8's I think where it's obvious they are that level as they are just going up through the ranks.

It's at level 15 upwards where we suffer due to the latency of playing against the US (something which Bungie should address soon) and cheating is more prolific. :(

We started every major clan match with 6 or 7 players...playing with 6 we played clans of 7 and when we had 7 they had 8 just unlucky, I guess. We're actually pretty decent when we get our shit together.

A re-iteration of our match amongst ourselves playing oddball on ascension 0/\0

I am starting to believe in this latency 'excuse' too, when we play amongst ourselves, and we do have some decent players, I occasionally have runs like a real killer, I reckon our connection amongst ourselves is just better.

Sorry for the negativity about our games chaps, I did have some fun, I just wanted to PLAY MORE. :)

I didn't actually mind dipping out when it was uneven, it was just the frustrations of being invited, univited and then when I actually did get in, it was still unbalanced. Maybe I'll suggest hanging around playing every man for himself slayers, it's just that I love the teamplay the most.

I used to think it was bullshit too but it's just simple science.

If I play you, the latency will be about 40ms tops. Everything will seem like on a LAN due to the games optimisations etc.

Cos of the extra physical distance the data packets have to travel to the US and back when they are hosting, this can be 200ms+ which makes a big difference when playing good players as it means you first bullets aren't hitting them but theirs are hitting you. It sucks. And there's loads on it on Bungies forums so hopefully they will do something about it.

Also, if my clan and your clan play at the same time, we will probably never get matched despite the lack of latency between our connections as Match Making doesn't consider this. It just looks at the Specs of your connection. And 99% of the best ones are in the US.

We are experiencing network problems. Sorry.
