Important info for Online play on Endgame

[Madao]

I played more and more now after in endgame. What i realised is that all this time when I was hosting the quest i never lagged. Now that i use the Quick quest, that i join OTHERS, the lag is REAL. Not every time, and on PC it's gonna be better, but man there was teleportation and stuff going on, mechanics happening and appearing later to me (mostly likely host wifi) Never had any of this while i hosted. It now makes sense why it also has you option to go Anywhere or YOUR region....
I wanna believe it's not P2P, but maybe i got a Japanese server on a bad moment.

It's definitely P2P, regional settings are just for finding people closer to you for less lag

It is 100% P2P and PC MP will be full of cheaters with trainer.

So I've been hearing that you need to invest your resources smartly to max out a character. That you must choose one and stuck to it because then you won't have enough resources to max them out.

then at least on PC this issue will be less because most people are gonna be with Ethernet.

Eh who cares about ppl that cheat, won't be too many anyway (not sure if relevant but the PWR cap may work against that)

That's false, what they meant is that when u are playing story mode, you need to be smart when to invest. But the Mastery Points are infinite and you get from any side quest or Monster Hunt / Boss w.e activity you do in the game you get Mastery points.

But investing to the characters you like is important

If its P2P I would stay away from online completely... someone remembers when hackers could hack even into PCs in Dark Souls 3? I don't think this game has any protection in this regard.

Unfortunately because Japanese developers mostly develop with PS5 in mind (which have their own secure servers) forget to implement any kind of security on PC.
Not all P2P games have such an issue (I mainly play fighting games that are all P2P)
For Dark-souls games (actually all 3 at one point) had security flaw and this would happen, this also is the case with Tekken 8 right now.

P2P? Dear god.

Cheaters are going to have a field day.
