I have refrained from posting anything since launch in the hopes that the issue would be addressed. Now; however, with no fix and the problem seeming to be getting worse I feel the need to express myself. This network connection issue has got to be resolved before this can truly be a great game. The gameplay, visuals, mechanics, and every that goes into the game is amazing; but, with the way the connection is the game is sub par. I have noticed that when me or my wife play solo we don't have a lot of issues; but, the minute we join up together we have issues getting into games together or completing a game without one of us getting kicked from the game. We are on the same wifi and both have open nats and yet we are constantly struggling to find/maintain games. I love this game; but, if these connection issues don't get better I am most likely going to have to find a new way to spend my limited game time. Tonight alone, we tried to play for an hour and only got to finish 1 match together. The rest of the time one of us would get kicked or one of us would not be able to join the session before the character selection page. I find this absolutely absurd for a game that has had this much time put into development. Fix the connection issues or this game will be ruined. P2P servers work for some games but this one just isn't one of them. I believe that designated servers need to be implemented for a solid connection.

So many people with the same problem, too bad Ubisoft won't look at this. And if they will, they'll just laugh because they already have your money.

Game is great... when it works....

But it hardly ever works.... too many connection issues.

The lesson I've learnt... never buy a Ubisoft game on release again.

Dude who gives a F*** about how much time they put into development? They choose p2p in order to save money. I paid for that F****** game $90 and I got a same problem as you do. But wait the have our money and 80% less server costs F*** YEAH lets make more games!!!

I'm in the same boat. I have been patient in the hopes that they make fixing the connection issues a priority, but my patience is wearing thin. When I'm trying to finish up that last two Dominion orders and gets dropped the whole time, teeth gets gnashed and fists gets shaken angrily. I hope this gets sorted so we can have a reliable connection. I feel its about time. No more release day excuses, its been out for a while now. Please guys.

The only thing I really hate is the fact that every time people quit lobby i have to quit to world map to find a new match and 50% of the time it freeze on the quit to world map window.It can last to 15 second up to 1m30s.

You're not alone mate, most people have simply given up and I don't blame them.

How is it so bad? Never have I experienced connections like this. 4 times in a row someone either quit or got dc'd and it pulled me with them. How ar they not fixing this?!? It's only 8 people or less this is unreal. Obviously Ubisoft doesn't give a crap about us. This could have been a great game.

It's their P2P system.

It's something new that they tried for this game, but it obviously has a lot of issues which were pointed out in the betas, but they stuck with it anyway. They'd be better off going with dedicated servers for 4v4 modes, at least we'd have some stability, but that'll cost money and time to implement, so they'll continue to tinker with their current P2P system which I'm guessing will never be rid of these connection issues in 4v4 modes.
