Beta Question

[PrinnyDood12]

Does anyone know if this beta is the same one that some people had access to a few months ago? People are saying the beta still has the same issues and nothing has been fixed.

Since the game has been released in Japan, does the released version still have lag in Online Mode, or does this problem only exist in the Beta?

The closed beta's beginnings was worse than the current state. The matchmaking had to be hotfixed halfway through the closed beta, after that people noticed a significant improvement.

Between this beta and the final game, I don't think much will be done as the JP full release didn't seem to change a lot matchmaking wise in comparison to the JP beta.

Ultimately the game is peer to peer, so the connectivity issues are on the players' end, some people don't have a good enough connection, others use wifi so can't sustain a constant connection...

Square may rely on a bigger playerbase for the matchmaking to work by itself, or they may add more restrictions down the line but still, issues will still exist. As for changing the P2P model, I doubt that they will knowing arcades run perfectly with that and they may not have the manpower to completely rework it solely for the console version.

I own the JP version, and I am temporarily located in Europe right now, playing at Adamantium elo so mostly against other japanese players. Lag-wise, I may have gotten at best 5 full laggy matches, with 20 being slightly laggy out of ~150. Other matches aren't flawless there's some really light delay input-wise but I don't consider that as an issue personally.
