It's like i'm playing the Pre-Alpha sometimes.
I have a wired FiOS connection with 50 download and 50 upload.I've never experienced particularly game-breaking lag myself. Try improving your own, since Splatoon runs on a peer-to-peer system, which means if someone has a worse ping than the rest of the lobby, lag can happen.
What if Splatoon had a server browser like PC games? That would be amazing.Lag spoils every online shooter. Splatoon isn't helped by Nintendo's refusal to introduce regional lobbies. Imagine being forced to play Call of Duty against people on the other side of the planet all the time.
If not regional matchmaking, it should at least have a ping metre to let you know when you're wasting your time and effort.
Nintendo, why no regional lobbies?Lag spoils every online shooter. Splatoon isn't helped by Nintendo's refusal to introduce regional lobbies. Imagine being forced to play Call of Duty against people on the other side of the planet all the time.
I'd never get "the connection is unstable" thing either. Still get goddamn connection errors, though. -__-On the bright side, I don't get stuff like "the connection is unstable" and disconnects like I frequently got in the testfire demo.
See, I used to get the "the connection is unstable" right before connection errors. It was like if the game telling me I would be disconnected in advance :PI'd never get "the connection is unstable" thing either. Still get goddamn connection errors, though. -__-
Regional matchmaking would be optional, not the only option though ;)Nope, I don't see lag often either, and I play from Chile with a wireless connection. In fact, Splatoon might be the most smooth shooter experience I've had that's not just the result of playing on a Chilean server.
And regarding regional matchmaking, I honestly think it'd be a terrible idea. My most ridiculous lag experiences have been during Splatfests, which are regional; and that would also mean the game would have less people to match up with. Since matches only starts when 8 players are on the lobby, having games not start because of a lack of players on one regional area at one time would be terrible for the game.
I'd much rather have global matchmaking than regional matchmaking with less potential players and hours where matchmaking would be almost impossible.
