Peer to peer match making has destroyed this game | Forums

Unfortunately the game will die a slow but inevitable death due to how the match maker uses peer to peer tech like CoD

It basically boils down to region playing, I live in South Africa and it constantly tries to connect to other players from other regions, even if it doesn't do that, very few players here have fiber, mainly using DSL for their connectivity. DSL doesnt have a great upstream and we'll never be able to host our own games(or very very few of them).

This has probably been debated a lot on this forum now, but the game needs dedicated servers, probably something similar to how Overwatch is designed.

The above opinion is my personal experience with the game, since its a beta I've intentionally excluded disconnection issues I've experienced. (but I have a feeling this is from the broken Peer To Peer design)

If the game still uses Peer To Peer hosting like it currently does by release time I'm afraid the South African market will be lost to you.

This is funny, your first time ever posting and its complaining about the game because your area has poor infrastructure.

10/10 would laugh again.

Poor infrastructure doesn't appear to hamper any of Blizzard's games, or Battlefield 1 for that matter...that was the point I was trying to make.

Its apparent Ubisoft probably doesn't want the added expense of using dedicated servers, but even then they could have followed the same model as EA with BF4 renting, and Dota 2 with local server support that links to the states.

I get disconnected alot while playing and would like to know if its p2p causing it or just beta....its a specific error with some long number most of the time

This is what most people who against P2P at close beta feared. It works in regions that most players have good internet but completely unplayable else where. It's quite fine in NA here.
