d1sc1p1e Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 so PC is peer to peer, but X1 and PS4 are using servers. does anyone know if the PC will eventually move to servers? cos peer to peer sux, like really, really sux. from host migrations that cause you to lose gear, game breaking lag due to a mismatched ping, the forums are full of peer to peer specific, and valid, complaints.

Angius Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 They are using servers?Even if, they are Sony's and Microsoft's servers, their cost is nothing compared to these companie's income. There's no "PC Company" to host PC servers. And if DE were to do that, that would mean the need for sh*tton of servers in sh*tton of countries, which equals to sh*tton of money.

Angius Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Nope, we're 'peer to peer' too. That's what I thought. Thanks for the info. Edited September 2, 2014 by Angius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahcruna Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm guessing if they add in the hubs they will need servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angius Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm guessing if they add in the hubs they will need servers. Considering, that Dark Sectors (4v4) and Dojos are being P2P, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahcruna Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Considering, that Dark Sectors (4v4) and Dojos are being P2P, I don't think so. That will lead to massive host migrations, something that isn't quite the best thing to have on a "hub". it's called a hub for a reason. I don't think the hosting system that the dojo or pvp have will cut it for something that is supposed to be open for anyone that is passing by.

d1sc1p1e Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 X1 and PS4 are peer to peer? now that's weird. I would've thought the inability to change and adjust connection settings wouldn't make it viable at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherIcarus Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Technically all platforms have servers but they are just for storing account info and checking to see if there are any hackers that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1sc1p1e Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 but they're not 'true' peer to peer like PC's, they're not acting as servers, just authorities. well that kinda clears that up, i guess unless they introduce hubs then it will stay p2p.

It's true P2P. You are part of the Host's game on a console the same as on a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can change the settings in the PS4's system and the games that run on it use those settings, and changing settings in the router affects everything else in the house. If you mean for hosting, uPnP can get around port forwarding issues when it's enabled and working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
