Dedicated Servers or P2P?

[Winobot]

I heard rumors that this game will use dedicated servers instead. Is that true? if so, where are these servers located? Latency is gonna be a big problem for me and many others if that is true, considering Aisa region has often been left behind by many game companies in recent years.

Thanks in advance if anyone can share regarding info upon this concern.

Dedicated. One of my friends is from South Asian region. When we were playing Beta their ping was two times as better than in PAYDAY 2. You should be fine.

How can someone's ping be better than 0? That's nonsensical. What do you think P2P means? It means you can *host* the game, so no ping at all. It means you can connect to your friend who is down the street from you for a ping that's less than 10. If your friend had a bad ping while playing with you, you were the issue.

Chill man. Just blame it on how massive the earth is. It's not anybody's fault. If anything I just hope I could get "twice as better" clarified. Going from 600ms to 300ms also fall into the same scenario yet it's nowhere close to an acceptable range.

Trust me pal, ping of ~100 feels MUCH better than 250.

some people clearly never play pd2 stealth while not being host

Private Dedicated servers with mapcycles and voting so we can host automated servers. In addition just normal non-dedicated server run from in game so things stay synced and everyone can still enjoy hosting their own stuff.
