Yeah it's a possibility but with everything going online and GAAS and long-term and this also being a sequel to Division 1 which had a rough start but other than the post-launch content being a bit weak still recovered and is going strong well it feels like Ubisoft would have focused a bit more on the network and online connectivity and world-wide server farms and availability and such if their strategy is now going to be focused on 2 - 3 years of online support or more. It's kinda important for it to work after all.

Then again shit netcode is nothing new and cheap hardware and poor maintenance and communication so that's a thing too, not sure if there's a in-depth analytics for the one used by Snowdrop / Division here but it's probably not that great even if the game isn't a total MMO but it has some stuff that could get better but I don't know, guessing it would cost more though sometimes it feels short sighted but eh what's new from publishers and upper management I guess.

Unfortunate for the players and end users, not sure how much pull and say the developers have. A in-depth look into For Honors development revealed a number of frictions and cutbacks but ultimately they did a pretty good job.

Different studio though, Massive here as some Swedish studio affiliated with Ubi could have entirely different expectations and regulations than their more established Ubi studios but I'm not too sure how that works.


But yeah I can see them cutting costs a bit and the result is some problems whenever the server is near capacity however these data centers are structured up. No offline mode either but the game is also built around being online with all the quirks this can have.

I guess a very common thing is the delay for when opening a lootable and the response usually the audio for said action happening some seconds later, good indicator on there being some delay involved or compensation for lag or something of that nature.


EDIT: Well what do I know, someone set a expected cost and return and budget for it and then probably various cost saving measures and prioritization of certain things above others or how to say.

Wonder how big of a thing bad infrastructure plays into it too, both in EU and US and the rest of the world too for that matter though these data centers and hosting sites and such for where it's all located and wired up should have some good connectivity you'd think but eh it's probably a bit hit & miss at best.

Err, no? It's a waste of money, Y1 pass is free for everyone, it's just timegated by 7 days. 7 Days early access is obviously not worth doubling the price of the purchase right?

Anyone else here have CTDs? They are pretty random on my system... Tried all the 'tricks and fixes' but none of them worked. Sometimes the game crashes after 5 min and sometimes after 2h.

Playing on DX12. Switched to DX11 still crashes. Turned fullscreenoptimization off, changed the dpi settings, turned the overlay off. None of them worked...

Make sure you got the latest GPU drivers
Run the game with: Vsync on and Limited FPS.
If it still persists: Lower GPU clock values
(Think it was the division 2 that had some problems with OC values.)

Bitch at Ubi for a fix.

They are back with stupid forced DZ for best gear (GS 515).

Also, everything nerfed again and the raid is delayed to May. Done with this crap. Haven't played since Tidal Basin update (that was meh and didn't add anything). What a waste.


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Seems like history is repeating itself. Didn't they make similar changes in the early days of TD1 that forced PVE players into the DZ if they wanted the best loot, leading to a mass exodus of players who were only interested in PVE, and then reverted those changes because the game was dying? Laughing

They really should get it through their thick skulls that PVE players don't enjoy the DZ and forcing their hand to partake in the shitty gankfest that is the DZ isn't going to work.


"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

I turned VPN off, when I was on Paypal. I don't think they like it much, when you are from Russia, while you're usually aren't ^^.

Tho last time I bought Anno via RU and XSolla/paypal, it gave me a 404 at the end, but the transaction still got through ^^
