Why not Peer-to-Peer ?

[Hans]

Really ? Dedicated servers in a game like this ?

It is pay to play, in fact, you have to pay 20€ to play it... (Even though I generally do think that, for Multiplayer games, the F2P model is always the better choice.)

You obviously didn't THINK before posting that unrelated reply. Let me remind you:

Before you speak ...
THINK!
T- is it true?
h- is it helpful?
i- is it inspiring?
n-is it necessary?
k- is it kind?

;)

You seriously want peer-to-peer in a game like this? This is ridiculous. It doesn't even work well on FIFA and PES, how would it work well here?

Doesn't work well if it's a badly programmed game, or if you have a bad internet connection, but it can work fine
For example, I can host a Wreckfest server with 16 players on my home computer, without any lag, and this game is way more complex than Rocket League


Custom servers + mods would be amazing for this game, but it will most likely never happen, sadly, they probably want to control everything

[Credipede]

I never liked peer-to-peer and never will like it. Servers hosted by the developers are always better. And considering that there's a possibility to play with PS4 users, I don't think there will be custom servers.

Peer to Peer is ♥♥♥♥ for most multiplayer games.
It's simply not reliable enough.
Dedicated servers >>>>>>> Peer to Peer.
(Even accounting for server down time and server issues)

[Vinny]

Once they resolve the issue with servers everything will be fine, the devs have stated they want dedicated servers because P2P can give advantages to those with better latency and they'd rather it be dedicated

[Wakey]

This gotta be the first time in history someone is asking for P2P over dedicated servers.

Yeah... P2P can work. But I'll take a few hours down time of lag-free dedicated servers than risking lag infected P2P.

[Dont]

Obv trolling :P

I have never had nearly a nearly as bad experience with any peer-to-peer based multiplayer game as anything that relies on dedicated servers - like this game, diablo 3 or sim city.

Unless you don't know how port-forwarding works/you don't have working UPNP or have a really bad connection, peer-to-peer is just fine.

If a frame-perfect game depending extremely on latency like Street Fighter 4 works just fine with peer-to-peer then this game surely can too.

Remember - this game connects a maximum of 8 players with each other. 8 ! This isn't Battlefield we are talking about.

I don't mind having lag if i connect to someone with a bad connection or someone very far away. Do you prefer connecting to a server where you have a ping of 30 playing against someone with a ping of 200 ? How is that more fair ?

if you find that bothersome you could still filter to play against people only from your continent. Or simply disconnect in the lobby if you see someone has a bad connection.

Just like in any other peer-to-peer based game.

Atleast we could have played perfectly fine since launch. But apparently that is undesirable and dedicated servers are much more preferable even if it means you need a virtual server for literally every session, private or public.

Which - as you can see - leads to a shortage of servers and server instability.

I think you mean a few hours up time!^^ I would prefer to play on P2P to not be able to play at all. Principally I prefer dedicated servers, but with this mess, I would really appreciate P2P, at least as an option.
