Since the Referee is intended to confer benefits to those who are not lagging to the detriment of those with bad connections, have you considered that it might be you with the bad connection?
While your suggestion is not without merit, I very much doubt this is the case. I play with @rndmhero quite a bit and his connection is very girthy. Also note that the melee on the other folks works just fine.
I was dead down the end of the corridor, and while waiting to respawn, I was able to see exactly this. There was someone else in chat who also cried bullshit after we'd seen Rndmnhero hit the guy 3-4 times in a bladedance, only to see the other guy effectively blink to the other side of the corridor.
Last night was generally fine, with the exception of one or two players, but it seemed after 12 GMT for our group, it was like flicking a switch and things became noticeably worse.

Yeah, everything was going super smooth for a long time. We went on a 9 win streak and had the same lobby for a good 10 games. For some reason it really did go to shit at some point. I ended up playing a couple more games and they went fine, I even snatched up a second Best In Round for the night.
We should totally do that 9 win streak again tonight... for my Titan. :winky:

That 9 streak win did follow on from a game in which it was effectively 3 of us against a 6 man team (what was disappointing was that once our team finally filled up, we came pretty close to clawing back a win)
The match making seemed to more or less find us other pre-mades to come up against so we weren't generally being horrible to people solo queuing. More often than not, we were up against teams of 5-6 (someone mentioned we went up against a guy who streams although he wasn't streaming at that point?).
I might give my Hunter a go tonight after cashing in the dailies with my Warlock, so I'll apologise in advance for being rubbish.
I played IB for a good long while last night. From the "raid" time till about 11:15est. Managed to get to rank 3 and had both pairs of gloves drop. One thing that im certainly starting to realize is how much more the game can slow down if you just let it. I had 2 rounds last night where i went on a 15 kill streak with one and 2 deaths. Was pretty fantastic.
Lag issues aside, I've found that I have a hard time using my supers effectively in Clash. In Control or Rift, there are always points of congregation that you can push into for a decent number of kills, whereas in Trials, there's an obvious tactical flow where you can use supers to tip rounds. In Clash, there's so rarely a predictable arrangement of people that I find myself more and more popping radiance or bladedance only to kill one person and then wander around like a glowing idiot.
I may actually try playing with Tlaloc today instead.

Found this super helpful Reddit post. I already have a bunch of half-completed Weekly Bounties that I kept from the last round of IB, and with this chart I should be able to hit rank 5 pretty quickly:
Last time, I went from 0-5 in a four hour session on the last day, so I figured I would split it up this time. Tried playing yesterday, but nope, nope, bad idea. Would rather just rip it off all at once like a bandaid then slowly play it over the weekend.
Though, it might be because it's clash. It's really just random chaos and I certainly prefer Rift over this hot mess.
The rocket launcher is kinda nice... but to be fair... outside of Trials and Elimination you likely can get more mileage out of a machine gun. So in Trials and Elimination, you're using Truth... always Truth.

Interesting. I had a really rough time in Rift, but that may be because I played the entire week solo. Any time my group of Rando Calrissians went up against an actual Fireteam, we'd get steamrolled pretty quickly. (Lord Shaxx told me he'd "seen enough" many times.) But thus far, I feel like most of my matches in Clash have been pretty evenly matched.
Yeah, for as much bitching as we (okay, mostly me) did last night in IB we still did pretty well. I wonder if there's a way if I can figure out of Destiny or my internet is the reason I go from good connection to "OMFG HOW MANY MELEE HITS CAN THAT GUY TAKE. Oh there he died long after I've been dead and I get a postmortem medal". It's quite frustrating. Had the same problem on Tuesday. When I had a bad connection I did horribly but later when my connection stabilized I had some really good matches. It was fun. Probably should have tried it while drinking. Definitely do that this weekend.

What coast are you on? Maybe it's not so much your connection more so than you get matched up with people in the UK, eastern Canada!
I've noticed a lot more of the whole "I just shotgunned a guy point blank and he turned around and punched me to death" stuff this IB.
Thats called lag compensation (it also hides how laggy the matches really are), a thing Destiny is very lenient with, probably because of their partnership with Activision, since Call of Duty does this too.
Its also the thing that makes the Red Bar Demigods possible.
You complained that Amanda isnt selling rare ships? According to Reddit its been 113 days since the last time she sold a rare ship. (Glad I'm not checking that shit every day.)
So I can't do patrols because everyone of them sends me up against level 40 enemies and requires 220+ light levels, which I, at level 40, only have 170... Damn you game.

No, what happens is I grab a patrol, it says something like "Kill enemies in this area" or "collect X from enemies". Then when I get to an area, it's all level 40 red level enemies and when I get killed, it says I need 220+ light. It's pissing me off. And it's not just ine the Dreadnought either. I was on The Moon and when it asked to take down some Taken in the area, they are all level 40 and kick my ass like I was a crippled kid.

Getting to 220+ light should be relatively easy? I mean run a couple of the Strike playlists and you should get plenty of gear to get you there.

Ah, well that's likely when the Taken are showing up as a timed, special event. I'm not sure if it's on a timer or random, but it's definitely not all the time. You can just go to a different area and there should not be taken there. It's typically only "1 zone" within a patrol destination at a time.

I would but I have a problem with my NAT type that doesn't let me do multiplayer in this game unless I join other people's game. I had the same problem when I played on the PS3 but I had more friends playing Destiny then. And yes, I've tried fixing it but there is nothing I can do about it.

I'm PS4. What happens is that I go into Strikes alone and never get paired when I do normal strikes. Strike Playlist sits there and just tries to find Guardians that my internet doesn't let me fine. If I didn't jump back in during Iron Banner week, I would be bothering people to play with me, but people got limited times.

It's been my experience that only the Taken Blight patrol missions are level 40. I ran into that problem too when I was 38. I've never seen a patrol mission other than Taken Blights that were above the level of patrol area. I'm pretty sure the Taken invasions are also at the same level as the patrol area except for maybe the zealot boss that appears.

You're picking up the skull/crossbones icon, which is a Taken kill mission. They are (as you see) level 40 and stuff. Normal kill missions, collections, etc should all be just fine/normal for the zone you're in. VIPs may also be high level.

Guys, @squall99x has a secret room on Mars that he showed me...
I was dead down the end of the corridor, and while waiting to respawn, I was able to see exactly this. There was someone else in chat who also cried bullshit after we'd seen Rndmnhero hit the guy 3-4 times in a bladedance, only to see the other guy effectively blink to the other side of the corridor.

After I picked that up I decided to play around with the IB AR I picked up awhile ago, the vendor roll with counterbalance, and it went pretty well.
In a world of long range weapons AR's are rare and clean up if you can get anywhere near them and you often can.

Control is still my favorite, though.
Thats why everyone swaps weapons around before heavy round. Primaries rarely get used and its better to have the best HW.
And with the Special Ammo change, now a lot of people weapon swap in Round 1 too. It's like they made Trials for weapon swapping!

All the internet providers in my area (I live in Bumfucknowhere, Alabama) all have NAT 2 settings, which to play multiplayer normally, I need NAT 1. The providers (this is my third one now) all will not help in this matter. But when I join other people's fireteams, I can play normally without a problem.
You're picking up the skull/crossbones icon, which is a Taken kill mission. They are (as you see) level 40 and stuff. Normal kill missions, collections, etc should all be just fine/normal for the zone you're in. VIPs may also be high level.
