This game has been an amazing experience personally and I am very appreciative to Ubisoft for working so hard to continue to improve everyone's experience.
It has a few improvements that can be made however that does not deter myself or thousands of others from enjoying this game while they continue to Polish it.
If you are too lazy/cheap to ensure you have adequate connection then you only have yourself to blame.
Hope you can find something to enjoy more to YOUR liking, in the mean time please stop contributing to this unwanted toxicity and allow our community to enjoy what is to OUR liking.
This mentality isn't helping anybody and just makes you come off as ignorant as well. It's not just about an individual's connection in these circumstances not to mention some areas simply don't have access to higher speeds due to location and there is NOTHING those folks can do even if they threw money at the problem for the highest speed offered and a reliable setup. Games have to balance lower speed internet somehow or it's a problem. if the majority of your fanbase doesn't live in Romania (Highest internet speeds are in Romania) then you have to realize that your average internet speed is going to be somewhere around 12 ms. Some games have lag compensation that ruin the game for those with good internet by buffing those with bad internet to the point they're unkillable even with dedicated servers so whilst you may not lag yourself in those scenarios those with poor internet will still warp from place to place or stand still not moving then you magically die from them while they survive your attacks because of that lag compensation. The other scenario is that one poor connection in the group can cause the entire match to be terrible for everybody except the host, but even then depending on how it's handled somebody quitting can cause desyncs and dropped matches so even people with GOOD internet can have problems, it's just ignorant to assume just because you're not having issues personally it must be that EVERYONE who is having issues has sub-par connections.Originally Posted by WickedGenesis Go to original post
I'm really enjoying the game so far. I'm glad that Ubisoft took the risk and made a game to appeal in the medieval combat genre. However, I think Ubisoft needs to stop relying on this so called "game data" to balance the game and more on user input. I understand that it's been out for almost a little less than a month, but I do expect Lawbringers and Raiders getting a much needed buff not on simply "game data" and statistics. I'm not sure if they have a dedicated team of play testers, but it might be a necessary temporary investment for overall customer satisfaction and more sales.
And I still think they need to invest into dedicated servers down the road, or do something to try and help with the reoccurring problematic server issues. I've been fortunate enough to not have been exposed as much to the problems that the vast majority are reporting, but there was a few times where I was farming a few dailies and lost my progress due to ubisoft's networking issues. The players should not be penalized for a network issue in all honesty.
Man, if only it were that easy, to simply find better internet options just because one decided they wanted some. The connection issues are a legitimate gripe, not just for people with bad service. Presenting these issues with memes like OP did isnt really constructive though.Originally Posted by WickedGenesis Go to original post
if a bunch of people have fun playing it and play it daily than its not garbageOriginally Posted by Eviler-RO- Go to original post
It was not my intention to come across as arrogant and can see how it could be perceived that way.
That specific comment was intended to convey that a lot of the connection issues can be attributed to poor connection through your provider or using WiFi rather than a cable connection. As well as not taking the time to ensure the necessary access for communication through your router is open.
Again I am not saying this is applicable to everyone however it would resolve the issue for people who fall into this category.
You would be surprised how many people I have met through the game who were having connection issues and these simple solutions improved their experience.
I should have taken the time to clarify that initially without the frustration I was experiencing with the OP.
I completely agree, that is not normal. At least this has not been my experience. I get slightly more disconnects than most games, but it hasn't been so bad. I play on the xbone in the mid-west U.S. Not sure that would make much difference.Originally Posted by Tranquil66 Go to original post
Game is fun when it works. But it hardly does. At least Valkyrie got buffed. All I know is that I've been kicked out of 5 eliminations in a row. I was doing great in all of them too! The game seems like it's running great then -BOOM- you're out of the game. So I decided although I'm really pissed off I'll try dominion since I'm doing pretty well. Jump in dominion, doing great, I'm sucked in. I come up to a PK and blast em right upside the head - [ERROR]. **** THIS GAME. Let me know when it works.
