Multiplayer?

How long would the online trophies take with a dedicated boosting partner/group?

And are the servers still up and safe for the future?

Ubisoft shuts things down without notice sometimes, so get it done ASAP.

It’s peer to peer so it’s not going anywhere.

Pretty sure you still need to connect to the servers. There's already the frequent error that prevents you from playing when you can't connect to retrieve your stats. I can only imagine that will be worse if there is no server to connect to any more. Plus there are user generated maps that aren't peer to peer. Basically, aren't you just giving people false confidence with your comment?

[DTOGaming]

Yeah I’d imagine the user-generated maps would be lost. As for everything else though I believe it’s fine - but you’d have to check the old forums here as I recall them saying the game was p2p.

It still seems extremely likely that the stats are tracked by an external server. After all, there's an error where you log into the game where it fails to retrieve your stats and consequently prevents you from playing ranked at all.

 

So while it is true that the lobby system and the game itself works on a P2P principle, this likely won't do any good for obtaining trophies whenever they decide to pull the plug on the servers.

 

Basically, never outright trust anything you read on the internet. You can either believe a general statement like "The game is P2P, it's fine", or consider the argument I presented and draw your own conclusions.
