The game is broken & its time to honor your promise Ubi...
Just hit 8 straight hours over the last 2 days of searching for a dominion game with a yellow NAT (I have never been able to get green) without finding a single game. Sydney with broadband connection. Just had it searching while im doing other stuff at this stage...
I dont care anymore if they are trying, or if its just bad luck, or if the networking person got the Flu.. etc. Its been a steaming pile of garbage since months before beta, and has only gotten so much worse you cant even find a game, let alone have the opportunity to be kicked from it. And its been like this since launch, wait times around the half hour mark, and now into multiple hours.
They need to try servers and pay for it, and not be scabby Ubisoft and actually set them up in lots of areas. because this broke P2P system is shattered, and getting worse. And before anyone says "Well servers will make lag slightly worse hurrr.." I dont care. Id play with a McCdonalds wifi connection from the carpark if I could reliably find a fing game and extract some worth out of this virtual paperweight. Also people can reliably connect to servers.
Somebody needs to take some bloody initiative in the company, and fire the potsmoking scam-artist that arrives at their board meetings and says their terrible p2p system is on the up and up and is in good shape! WAKE UP!!!! You have a steam rating the same as No mans Sky solely because of this system you wont change. The playerbase disappeared faster than personal accountability at a Ubisoft office, and the only handfull of people that are left on the forum are the only people that somehow can magically connect when everyone else cant, probably because theyre all fing neighbours.
YOU said you would look at switching to servers if the game didnt drastically improve and players didnt come back. Weve waited for a few patches now on the promise you could make this system work. It dosent work. How do you plan to bring a 6 hour wait time down with minor packet-loss tweaks, etc..!??! Thats excluding the disconnects, rage quits, crashes etc that face you when finding a game.
Hire some people/ Allocate some of the competent networking staff to work on a version of the game that can run on servers. Set up a test version of the game, and test it in one of your busiest areas. If lag times go up by a 100ms or so, then adjust the characters attack times accordingly etc.. YOU said you would do this in a stream, and here we are months later with a worse version of the game. Come good on your promise because you have basically stolen from the people I know that havent found a MP game since launch. This sort of total crap in the gaming industry is insane, and being as polite as I can saying this, holding no animosity to the hardworking staff you do have; I hope sombody comes along one day very soon and sues you bigly, so as to set at least a base standard of functionality in these 200$ AUD products, and re-establish a modicum of respect for your customers, instead of inserting 1000$ of IAP in a season pass AAA game, thats broken.
You said you would look at servers. The game is rock bottom. Was it another lie, or will you actually do it? Cheers.
