    Are servers an epic fail?

    I played some tourney matches now with and without servers and for me the server system takes away all the fun I had before.

    Before servers: Lag was caused by a player with bad connection.

    With Servers: Lag is caused by games that match you to a server to far away from you = different reason, same result = not helpfull.

    I was matched to 3 servers to far away from me for the last 3 tourneys. This caused a heavy advantage for my enemies. My side steps/ dodges went into the wrong direction, I was not able to parry like it is meant to be so I lost 8 out of nine matches and went down from platin II to gold I.

    Such things take all the fun away from me because it seems if you have a server far away in one game you have it for the rest of the tourney (not sure about that).

    Ubisoft please let us see the server pings (would have conceided the toruneys if my ping to server would be 40ms or higher).

    You need to bear in mind that they don't have lag compensation in yet, once that comes that will likely iron out some of the kinks in that regard, though yeah ping is also something people have asked for.

    They are, or at least today especially. 4/5 games are disconnects.

    Bring back P2P? This is definitely not what dedicated servers are.

    We've definitely let the team know that players would like to see ping displayed. @Toran80, was this issue mainly happening in tournaments?

    I have noticed that I have been getting disconnected from matches pretty frequently and have been playing dominion with more bots than usual.

    Also, the game seems to be using a massive amount of resources (essentially double of what it did before server launch). I have a new alienware aurora r6 (which can run nearly game on max settings with no problem) and for honor is now using over half of my ram at medium settings. . .

    Thank you for replying to the post, thumbs up Great to hear you are forwarding the ping topic to the team.


    The lag issue was happening mainly in tournaments. I had this issue again today.

    Before playing tourney I played regular dominion and test your metal (I think between11:00 - 14:00 CET). The game was running OK back than.

    I did a break and restarted the game before playing tourney (20:30 CET). I tested a match of dominion after it and it was also laggy. I have to do more testings to figure out when exactly it happens. Maybe server load is also a topic.

    There have been increasing number of this:
    ALL players getting kicked from lobby EXCEPT ONE.
    Doesnt seem very server-like.

    Can you do something about NA players using VPN to EU aswell? Theyre laggy as hell and unfair to fight against....
