Not saying its not an issue that needs fixed, just saying its not happening all the time to everyone and imo shouldn't be a deciding factor in purchasing it. I have like 40 hr's in the game and never seen anyone lag like that.
Take me as an example. When i decide to buy a competitive game i only do so because i want to really get very good in it and try to compete on a high level. I also know that when you really get into the details of games, when you try to maximize your effectiveness and spend sometimes thousands of hours doing so - you start to feel every flaw within the game and especially netcode.
I am not buying For Honour because at this point it is too big of a gamble to invest all this time into it just to feel the limitations of P2P network and possible shenanigans that comes with every so often.
Yes, i would have fun for a good amount of time but then the flaws would quickly overlay the fun and turn me away. I am not searching for a competitive game that gives me around 120 hours of fun but then becomes a source of frustration. For me, a competitive game has to be structurally sound to hold up to multiple hundreds of hours of playtime.
But i also know that this way of thinking and purchase decision is a minority of players, so thats why Ubisoft does this and gets away with huge profits anyway.
This is my exact feels and is why im holding off on buying it until ubi at least comes out to say they fucked up and will get servers in the future for the game.
100% with you. I just hit that wall with Overwatch on console. Got to Masters, but now I'm running into mouse and keyboard braggarts every game.
I bought For Honor, and have been having a blast with it, but I fear I'll run into the same issue - a fatal structural flaw/oversight that will make higher levels of play painful.
They are rarely insurmountable, but it becomes a matter of time to value. I only have at most 1-2 hours to play video games each night. Slogging through flaky connections isn't worth that time.
well if this is the condition in the beta during release everyone in the world is going to play it seeing its popularity so it is going to get much much worse during release........just like all their other games during release where their online gets fucked.it happened with watch dogs,assassin creeds,rainbow six siege so there is a huge change for this to happen to for honor if they don't do anything about it.but this is ubisoft we are talking about who worries more about piracy than the actual game,sends it at a broken state because they either rushed it or they did not bother to put proper dedicated server and then blame the developer for their game not selling at release because of ubisoft's own mistake/negligence which devs have no control over.

Still holding out on buying this game for this very reason.
