3 minute test: 0% packet loss. (reply)

It can vary depending on WHAT the packets are - Narc might have been measuring packet loss on the actual running application's communication. Ping packets are very small, unless you set them not to be. smaller things sometimes get through more reliably. Also, being a cell connection, it probably varies in quality a lot.

But I remember when Narc was checking my connection to his mumble server, I had like a 20% packet loss.

I must be doing something weird.

Oh well, my cell phone internet proves to be inexplicably robust today.

How do I use the terminal to test packet loss? (reply)

You can just ping a site from it, after you end the ping it'll tell you your packet loss. Should go without saying, but unless you do a really long test you won't get a % that is necessarily representative.

Oh, I remember. That Burning Shrine game was amazing. (reply)

I adopted this attitude of shooting you twice then assuming you were dead. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. It was fun!

Also, are you sure that connection is megaBITS? Because that's slow as heck.

I might have a big packet loss issue, but IDK how to test that on my phone.

Heh, if you're on a cellular connection, you almost certainly do.

It looks like an Android phone so you could install this if you want, and ping things yourself!

Ask unoudid how aggravating playing against me in crucible can be.

Do they have a pingtest.net app for phones? (reply)

Pingtest on the web gives you better info on latency and connection quality.

For those using Lynx browser, it's a 52ms ping, 7.93 megabits down, 8.11 megabits up. I might have a big packet loss issue, but IDK how to test that on my phone.

I'm on Sprint.

Sprint Cellular I believe. (reply)

When the FTB was built, it changed my game completely. (reply)

200 ms ping

Wut?

Geez, no wonder you're always dropping out and having lag issues. WTF is your connection?

Same for me. I use the DBO Fireteam builder 99% of the time these days, but DestinyLFG.net is great for those times when you find yourself jumping online with no notice and want to group up real quick.

Another thing that helps is building up a large friend list. I've got over 100 people on my PSN friends list now, most of whom I met through DBO or playing Destiny. Any time I jump online, I have anywhere from 20-30 friends who are already playing Destiny. Makes it easier to put groups together :)

Problem with fire team building is I never no when I'm playing next. Sporadical playing times :\

This is the main benefit of lfg for me. You can do any end game activity when you have a spare 30 mins.

Everything changed when the FTB attacked. (reply)

Initially, I just played solo or with a few friends I had held over from Halo 2/3. I never figured I'd do a raid more than a couple times.

Then that thing allowed me to ruin literally dozens of others' experiences with my 200 ms ping and incredible lag 3 days a week. What a game changer!

Exactly. (reply)

Unless perhaps you're playing on the PS3, no DBOer should have much of a problem finding people to play with.

Why not use the DBO fireteam builder? (reply)
