It's low because we know nothing will change. A petition isn't going to fix the netcode, a petition isn't gonna make them rethink anything that has been done.
As true as that might be, I must day that's a terrible mentality. Still valid, just too pessimistic for any change to ever happen.
The petition addresses this. Again, the problem is people writing off the idea of collective power. Most naysayers probably didn't even read the petition.
but maybe prevents them from the same mistakes in the future
how do you know? are you one of these people? again, even if it doesnt help for this game anymore, it might change nrs view on netcode in the future.
To help improve the online experience.
yes. either for mkx or future nrs games. its all in the petition text.
i am quite shocked but ok, did it.
It's just common knowledge. Take SFV for example. The game isn't coming out until next year, but they are attempting a beta while the game is still very much in development to fix things before it's finished. I would agree with the second part, but we've all been through this before. Everyone complained about MK9 online. IGAU comes out and it's barely improved if at all, so people complain. Fast forward to now and MKX is bad. I've been reading a lot that graphics and how intensive something is can affect online play due to it's processing power. Which is why a lot of people speculate that SFV's graphics are barely improved. I don't know how true this is because I'm not a engineer or something, but it's what I hear a lot.
It's not common knowledge at all, because its completely wrong. It can 100% be fixed post launch, and if you are just going to say "no it can't" you need to share this coding knowledge that you have that the rest of us don't. Just because you hear other people lacking knowledge spouting this crap, doesn't mean you should just regurgitate this nonsense and tell people it's a fact, even while admitting you don't actually know anything about it.
If they have no intention of fixing it, than the only possible result of them actually saying or admitting it, is "an absolute shitload of bad PR".
KI is being run on the best servers money can buy. MKX is being run on the cheapest servers possible, also not located evenly throughout their regions.
Well, this is also in response the statement that it can't be done at all even during development because of the nature of MK being a fighting game (???). It might be harder to go back and fix and a game after launch, but it can be done, but its irrelevant because we 3 games deep now, NRS hit a straight hatrick off the bat for bad netcodes, so it's pretty clear its a choice at this point
Both games are P2P. Fighting games need to be P2P otherwise it would just be adding more work to the connection. The only thing different about KI is the way the game is designed to handle lag.
I hear what you're saying Scoot. But, in all fighting games... if the servers go down, you cannot connect to Online, so it has something to do with it. Then, as far as the P2P. If someone sends you an invite or vice versa, who is the host? In ranked, who hosts, it's always random and even with the same host or... inviter [I've tested] the connect is always random. Also... Faction stats and even move stats are being accounted for in every match... a nightmare.
What? Tell me how it can be fixed if true. You're not understanding the netcode they made is implemented into their coding. Do you honestly believe they would shut down online play for months to make a new netcode? They do not have the time for that. Bottom line is their netcode sucks. It's not GGPO or GGPO like. It's hot garbage and until they start using something like GGPO it will remain lackluster. You know this.
