audimacho Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 okay dev's, time to spread your wings.. we asians are looking forward 4 this.. thx in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraed Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Isn't the game entirely peer2peer though? I would've though the only bit going through the servers is the menus outside of missions and saving your progress after missions, where latency really isn't an issue at all. Not sure what having an asia server would even affect with peer2peer gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichthammer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 im sure its about the LAG issue right? where are you playing... I mean in what country... Me, I'm from the philippines and been playing Warframe for a month and i never experienced any lag so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bit Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Malaysian here and I'm curious about this myself. I'm not really sure how p2p or even online gaming works but would having Asia servers help at all? I've been playing for a bit more than a week and my experience has been rather varied. I've hosted games where some complained of lag and some where the others say is fine. I've joined games that are fine but most of the time there'd would be varying degrees of lag. Also an interesting thing to note is that the lag's not obvious during gunplay, but is extremely obvious when in melee combat (bodies take a second to get sliced apart after the initial slash).

Zeneroth Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) This game is totally Peer 2 Peer which means when you start the game you are "hosting" and other people will connect to you. This means whoever is the host will be lag free(no latency at all) and other players pings will be relative to how far from the host player they are most of the time. So even if you are asians, you can host the game between all of your friends and still enjoy the lag free benefit, granted your internet upload bandwidth is good enough. The hosting player is the one who started the party, invite other player to join or people joining him as far as I know. Additionally how the region setting works right now is just helping to group people into their selected region, so they can have relatively low ping when match together. But since right now there is only Oceania, which is closest to Asian region as we got so maybe some people in asia got match up to Australian and the latency is not that great imo.

0bit Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 :words: Thanks for clarifying the p2p bit! Also if the region settings are there to help group people into their regions why not have an Asia and/or SEA region options too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoyusha Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah it's needed. I'm in Japan and it's not so much that I have lag that's a problem, the problem is that I feel bad hosting because I know everyone who joins will lag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bit Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 ...the problem is that I feel bad hosting because I know everyone who joins will lag... True. I hate feeling that I've ruined someone's impression of a game that I love. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keagian Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah it's needed. I'm in Japan and it's not so much that I have lag that's a problem, the problem is that I feel bad hosting because I know everyone who joins will lag... I think I played with you once, yea the lag was pretty intence but I trucked it through anyway. Though I do like the fact that I can play with everyone from across the world. Helps bring us all together in one way or another. Though would like to see if they can improve our connectivity even slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeneroth Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah I think they should add something like South asia, North Asia as well since to be fair it is really far apart like North America and south America. It is quite okay for me in South east Asia (Thailand) to match with Oceania right now so that's not much a problem but more regions should be great.

Babalenong Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Imo there still should be an asia server option so asian people can meet up and play in lower pings faster I won't recommend adding a lot of region options for now since the player base it limited Edited January 14, 2013 by Babalenong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
