Servers? Lag?
 

It'll probably come out sooner or later... but I'mquite curious... Your server is in Toronto right.... which means I'll be netting some nice latency if I do get to play... but how badly would everyone else be? I mean 2 huge armies facing off online how would that affect the game play?... your servers aren't running on hamsters are they? I know you know some of the ones out there are!

Honestly at first i could see there beingsome lag issues however after the game starts selling a quick down time fix for the win

Yeah thats basicly why they have Open beta and stress tests for, so that it won't happen.

Edit: Read Kons post, I was misinformed and its the best answer.

hmmm will the skirmishes also run through the server?

Probably yes.

i certainly hope so:P p2p tend to attract some laggers where u just think; jez get better comps or connections:P

Part of the secret why we are not charging a monthly fee to play - is that majority of combat will be thought through player to player connection - just as like regular multiplayer works in other RTS games.

Thus while most of the combat happens off the server - the server just handles all sort of persistence, security, progress monitoring - but none of that stuff is latency intense - so we really are hoping for a smooth gameplay experience.

So just as in any other multiplayer game you`ve played lately, your lag will only depend on the other players.

Woohoo about fifty % of those i played with on starcraft 2 lags so much they quit the game instantly:rolleyes: Wonder how it will be now;)

Thats just plain cruel really. Kinda like in BFME2 custom maps with 4k cp and unlimited money, game freezes for 30 min and then DC :rolleyes:

Yes, were it to happen in DoF, it would be a fun experience.. hehe:eek:
