Can we not have peer-to-peer MP?

Really. p2p kills the MP experience outside NA/EU. I am playing from Brazil and I do enjoy the MP content, but playing APEX is usually an odyssey for me. Joining other hosts is useless, the ping make...

So, MP behaves exactly the way I thought it would in our country. A waiting experience, it seems. Not to mention that you are prone for bug and glitches and technical issues when you finally get to play. Right now, MP is a kerfuffle for us in SA.

Yeah. I remember that SA players of Dragon Age Inquisition had to organize groups and set up schedules to have a good quality MP experience. I still have the excel spreadsheet with the paying hours of some players. Let us not have this happen in Andromeda please. We would like to use matchmaking like everyone else in NA/EU.

I'm not a MP player, though. MP doesn't appeal to me as it is. But if things improve drastically in future, who knows. I do wish you good luck in this endeavor, nonetheless. Suffice to say that hope dies last.

  @PandaTar, Hope was the last thing in Pandora's box (or jar). The final affliction that keeps us coming back for more when we should know better. 😉
  
  @VBraescher, moving back to centralized servers would be a pretty major rewrite of the networking code. Don't hold your breath.

    I know, but we need some sort of alternative especially for people outside NA/EU. Frankly it is baffling that they care enough about Brazil that took their time with localized features including full translation in Brazillian Portuguese but don't care enought to make an effort to improve multiplayer for Brazil. I find it hard to believe that they did not know from ME3 and DAI that we have problems connecting to NA/EU players.
    
    So, either they had the data and feedback from ME3 and DAI and didn't care enough to help their SA fanbase or they have no data and ignored the feedback which makes them incompetent.
    
    Either way, it's a 200 bucks preorder (a quarter of montlhy minimal wage for the country) with a part of the experience barely functional because they decided to have p2p MP.
