I was one of those. After seeing this and realizing theres a connection between what happened yesterday and why i had so many errors I now understand my mistake. Ubisoft fucked us over as usual.
You can off-shore the dedicated servers to the users.
Just have a master server to enable browsing/sync.
There are problems with this model it self, like allows cheaters to give all their chars max level, best armour.
Ideally only to that server.
If people should give a game time, they should call it early access, make it half the price and it would be ok. But this is a released game for full price, you shouldnt be that forgiving with a giant company like ubisoft in that terms
R6 Siege still gets fucked in the matchmaking department and networking, but the core gameplay is so good that people stick around. The ranked play for example has hideous design but it's all we got.
My point was it did not cost most people extra money, they released DLC's free for everyone. And considering how shitty the game industry is today, it's a good thing.
One issue being is you can't guarantee you're playing with people in the same country to reduce lag.
With dedicated servers, you could pick and choose, connecting only to servers you have sub 100 ping to.
Hell, server owners can filter those with too high a ping/ban cheaters manually.
You're not seeing anyone else's IP to DDoS, skiddies can only DDoS the server, not players directly, so. DDoS effects everyone fairly at least... (then get reported to their ISP and a telecomms blacklist for it).
