Watch Dogs Multiplayer on new-gen sorely needs these improvements. | Forums

[dann2004]

After being a Ubisoft customer for the past ten yrs one thing that I've noticed with them is there unwillingness to solve any problems with there games.
Don't get me wrong you'll get maybe 3 patches,but they won't do ****,...

A few people on the splinter cell forum predicted this game would be a mess.
I was going to get it when i saw it back in 2012,but Tbh after what I've seen and heard i don't feel im missing out anymore imo.

So what you are saying is that Ubisoft is just as bad as EA?

I hope you are wrong, and Ubisoft fixes all these problems.

What's the point of all this?
Ubisoft won't read this, there are happy with our money

they better ****ing read this. The game just came out, the only time they probably EVER read the forums. Make a party system to play in teams with friends u ****ers!

This thread needs to stay alive. I care about this game and I want it to live on for a long time. I really need these improvements made to the game. I know Ubisoft is very busy right now, but any communication would be appreciated.

Decription
-Basically, matchmaking for this mode is terrible. I should be able to join a decryption match with a team of 3 of my friends and not have to worry about being split up.
-This mode is the biggest reason why the multiplayer needs to have a party system implemented. I know nothing about the systems that run multiplayer, but you guys need to buckle down and make a party system (a party app, even) that carries itself to any game mode. It should exist in single player, and if it does then that negates the need for the lobby system that doesn't exist. Let it be purely menu driven, I don't care. I need to be able to be in a party and see who's in my party at all times.

This, what's the point in having a team based game where you cant join with friends without them being on the other team.

General Issues
-Every time the game tries to save information it seems like (after a crime is stopped, after a job is completed, after someone wins/loses a hack against you) our framerate stutters HARD for a few seconds, which can often get us killed. (This happens on Xbox One to me. No idea about PS4)

We get the same framerate loss on the PS4

"In Watchdogs everything is connected".... except you and your friends

I totally agree with all that has been said. Other then being hacked from someone online, all the other online features are worthless, potential to be a great game but the multiplayer sux.

How did they not think the multiplayer aspect through fully?

It is like the multiplayer part was an after thought. There is sooooo much fun that can be had with friends if they think about it.

I've edited the Original Post to include what I've been harping on since I found out the best side missions aren't replayable. I'm praying this message from us gets to Ubisoft and they do what they did with Far Cry 3 and listen to the fans.

This this this. Any game with a competitive online mode MUST have a party system. I honestly I am really enjoying playing online decryption with my friend but it takes upwards of an entire hour to actually manage to get into the same match. AND THEN we are almost never on the same team. I can't believe this is even an actual issue. I get you guys probably wanted to make it "seamless" with with the whole auto-invite thing. But it basically impossible to get a friend in the game before it it is full.

Not having a party system heavily diminishes the replayability of the multiplayer and I really hope you guys fix it.
