(XBOX)KnightSlayer411 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) I'm not going to say much, everyone thinks like this. Host migration is disgusting, having to endure another player's bad connection is disgusting and the fact that Digital Extremes is making hundreds of millions per year gives no excuse to not having dedicated servers. This is even more important with the squad link, imagine that same Tennocon gameplay but with disconnections and host migrations. I would be disappointed if Digital Extremes launches Empyrean without dedicated servers. The nightmare of having a consistent gameplay getting cut off by a crappy networking system. Come on Digital Extremes, you're even upgrading your engine and spending millions on TennoCon, we all know this should be your next jump.

Can we seriously stop using these "I speak for everyone" statements as valid arguments.

(PSN)Viveeeh Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Dedicated servers sound nice, I don't know if it ever happens though... DE is well aware of the problem, and I'm sure they know ending host migrations would help player retention. The question is, would it increase their profit enough to pay for the expenses? I have no idea, but I'm afraid the answer is no. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabbynaru Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm curious, how did you manage to get a hold of the financial information of Digital Extremes? Cause that would be the only way to convince yourself that DE is profitable enough to have dedicated servers for a playerbase of 30+ million people across multiple consoles without putting themselves at risk, correct? So please, if you may, do let me know how much money they make from rivens. I'm really curious. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimpins Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) I'm playing from Germany with almost no issues, so maybe my experience has been different, but... does anyone ever stop for a minute to appreciate how robust the Warframe network is, all things considered? I'm still blown away that the game even has a host migration system that works the vast majority of the time, retaining the complete mission status for all players, or that hotfixes are deployed while thousands of players are in-game, with no down-time, to name just a couple of examples. The way they can achieve that is exactly by NOT having to co-ordinate and maintain a multitude of servers across the globe. I applaud DE for their current network setup. As far as technical issues go, it's definitely the better of two evils. I'd much rather see them invest in improving and expanding the game content instead of overhauling an already working system.

Similarly, during the time it took to rework Primaries and Secondaries, there was no content update. QoL stuff yes, but no content, no new weapons, no factions to grind. Surely the entire studio couldn't have been on it? From past incidences however, we use that track pattern. A major change like this would more than anything mean all hands on deck. Which means, no content. It's a gamble that will not end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteMarker Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I wonder where the OP lives and if he would like to have servers located far away from him so that every session has a ping of 200 ms. That would be awesome, wouldn't it? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedicated servers won't make lag disappear. It would make it worse for some. Doors are due to lag, so that goes along with it. Dedicated servers aren't a guaranteed fix, but they are a guaranteed expense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)The1stAzrael Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Good heavens, no! In all seriousness though, there's another game, run by a small company, (I think it has less employees than DE) called Neverwinter, it's owned by Cryptic. They have their own servers, and even though they're based in the U.S my game still lags like hell, whenever more than 10 people are in the same server as me. The game is actually unplayable, unless you play early in the morning, when no one else is on. And I'm only a few hundred miles away from their superserver.

FashionFrame Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just do what I do: Put ping limit to 100, so 90% of the time you're host. There's the odd time it will put you in to another's game, but in most cases, they'll have good internet and very rarely will it put you with a bad host. It can happen, but so far in the years I've done this, it's rare! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just that, there is the problem with NAT-Strict from people connection that even port forward won`t solve because of this Peer 2 Peer model, only solution is with a VPN. Located Servers would be great. Dauntless has less players probably and had local servers even for South America since open beta started..
