U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

This is my connection. Yet for the past 2 days I have been playing on nothing but 5/6 green and yellow bar hosts. The amount of times I've been shot through walls is uncountable.

I don't see why Bungie would choose a yellowbar host over what I have. My host is as close to playing on LAN as it gets, not to mention I have people from other countries telling me I have a good host.

I don't care if you give someone else host, but if you are going to do so it better be a good host if it's being chosen over mine. There's no reason a yellowbar host should ever be chosen over mine, and it's been happening nonstop for the past 2 days.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

Is your NAT open? Weird NAT conflicts could be restricting you from sending data to and from the host and may have to funnel the data through other players causing a delay? Im not 100% that the reach netcode does this but it would explain your connection problems.

My NAT is not open, but I don't think that's why. It's been weird for a few days now and I stopped getting host a day or 2 after it happened

Lol.

Open your NAT, and maybe reset your router. Then do a pingtest and see if you have any packetloss.

Lol so as soon as you stop pulling host you realize that your connection is trash.

I feel bad for all of the people that have had to play on a laggy connection because of your NAT settings.

Go open your NAT. Do whatever it takes, research your outer, call the router company, and open your NAT for god sake.

You don't think your NAT is the problem? LOL. How would you know?

Line test for packet loss. Ping test for latency (and keep track of your distance to your server - it matters - A LOT).

30DL 20UL isn't trash my friend. The NAT just got switched to moderate the other day, and then a day or so later it stopped giving me host. When I did get host it was amazing though.

And my NAT is now fixed so hopefully I'll stop playing on retarded connections. Also, all of the yellowbar games I played were because of bad hosts, it wasn't only me yellowbar, it was everyone yellowbar with one kid or multiple kids from the same country dominating.

Lol 30D/20U is trash if you have a moderate NAT because half the people in the game have to connect to you through someone else. Which is ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE.

100/100 with anything but an open NAT is garbage.

It's always been open until about 3 days ago and it's open now. When I saw it turned moderate I thought nothing of it because it only stopped me from connecting to one person on my FL.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Host is the primary connection for the game, everyone connects to the host and his connection authorises every shot that is fired. If you don't have OPEN NAT then you can't connect to everyone in a game and you will never get host.

I know what host is, and I gathered that about open NAT over the lifetime of this thread. Thanks though.
