How Does Multiplayer Work In This?

[*Graze*]

I'm curious about the multiplayer in this game. Me and my friend only live a few miles away from each other, so would the bad connection I hear the game has be as bad for us? Is this game's multiplayer broken no matter how hard you try to make it reasonable? And if we do get it working, what can we expect in terms of gameplay?

I've only played through Re:Birth 1, and just started 2, so I have no idea what to expect from this entry.

Thank you very much for the response. With it trying to mimick an MMO, I guess this is an entry where keyboard is the better option? I've been using controller for the Re:Birth series so far, but this would be the first game outside of those ones I'll be playing.

If it was fine for you then I imagine that the short distance between me and my friend should result in a smooth experience, and even if it isn't I'm fine with a little lag.

Hilariously, once when I said that I experienced no technical issues with an old game I played for a little while, someone responded to me saying that I did something wrong. I got it working... therefore something is wrong on my end xD

Online is s*** for everyone besides the host. Lag, Rubberbanding, Game Breaking Glitches, Double Damage and other oddities the game throws turns people off from playing online for long.

Also doesn't help that online is completely optional as everything can be obtained in SP with less effort besides trying to powerlevel from Lv.5 during the Lv.200 EX Missions.

Aight, so we got 2 sides now~ I'll give you feedback on whether me and my friend have a bad experience, but might take a while due to the other game we're playing through right now. He can just refund it if he's not pleased with the result. Meanwhile I'll still happily solo it.

I'm suprised there is even a question to be asked, I mean I thought I made it pretty clear this game has arguably the worst multiplayer I've ever had to deal with, and perhaps I should be even more worried/suprised that you didn't see my warning in this forum about this deception that IF/CH/TamS proped up.

I can't save em all right? (I'm a little frusterated)

Sorry Anonymous, I had no idea that your warning even existed. Anyway, I was wanting to know what people would think between me and my friend and what the likely outcome would be, not in general with randoms from different regions.

Never saw it, my mistake. But meh, me and my friends can put up with a lot of ♥♥♥♥ before we quit something, masochism is a fun thing. So yeah, the question was stupid, but instead it was because our answer would have likely been "we'll try it anyway, we've been through worse".

Yah, after a few more online where I joined the room the rubberbanding got stupidly bad at times, like almost unplayable. I'm starting to see people's issues now.

UE4 makes this stuff pretty easy, to the point that somebody must have put in the effort to make it this awful... I literally don't understand how you can screw up the client-side this bad, unless everyone I'm playing with has 3rd-world Internet service.

Anyway... my new verdict is, keep your expectations low

The game has awful netcode because of Tamsoft's laziness and Idea Factory being cheap and rushing the game out the door to mass profit off of merchandise (which this game has A LOT of).

UE4 and connections aren't the problem as even the fastest connection in the world will still experience all the issues previously stated as it seems to be a problem for non-hosts. MegaTagmension has much better online and it was a Vita title, not to mention rooms DON'T automatically disband when the host dies or a quest is completed.

Sorry Anonymous, I had no idea that your warning even existed.

It's comments like this, that bring to the fore in my thoughts that what I've done -the thing I've terrible mis-invested my time into- is quite pointless.
It's safe to say that the vast collective consciousness here has nearly fully succumbed to the zero-gravity environment that is cyberspace, few want to research anything, learn about anything, endure any labor or perplexity, hell, even I'm up to my eye-balls in this culture, since I so rarely do any research when I buy games, -especially games like this, that require good research due to the delusional fan-base (yes, I'm mad)- I lived my life (and certainly many else here) tugged and moved by marketing, rarely going out of my way to forge my own course.

I mean I tried to make it quite clear this game has problems by the forum post I keep bumping up but somehow your comment suggests this bad habituation is very potent, and who's potency ever increases as our acclimation to the zero-gravity increases.

Even then, who am I helping?
I can safely answer this; I'm helping to prevent some dumb teen or tween from buying a game that has these serious flaws, and infering from my comments above only about 20% of those people even care to heed the warning.
Although, how would you even know about these problems in the first place anywhere else? I literally read through every metacritic review for this game, and I was shocked by how few of them (33% or so) even mentioned the multiplayer as a glitchy mess.
I feel as if parts of our info-sphere is being sabotaged not deliberately, but by laziness and comedy.

I just hope you don't go around "reccomending" this game despite it's problems, try to have a sense of justice at the scam the store page props up.
Try to be like the angry "Aliens: Colonial Marine's" fan.

I have something that i wish to be confirmed. In the multiplayer mode, do you, and your friend who plays with you level up from for example defeating high leveled monsters, or completing high leveled quests ? I'm pretty much new in the game, and i'm currently at level 25 (at the Tetyu Temple) using the early grinding spot of the game, and i was wondering if i could use the same trick with a friend.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
