    Since the posting of this video, I have put in an additional 25 hours to test netcode improvements after the most recent patch.
    I can confirm that I have only run into one laggy match and seems like the online is fixed.
    Don’t know if it’s because they patched things well or because of the game now only having 10% of its playerbase left means that there is less stress on servers, but the online works great now

      Okay I agree with everything you said I was hyped I am a free to play player and was so interested in really getting into this title but after beta it's a shit show yeah free to play doesn't mean pay to win. WTF WB they have enough money to swim in but no they got to screw up a game I want to succeed badly. It's fun but Lord the amount of time to unlock players is crazy. So I'm stuck also the game play is a bunch of spammy freezy mess. But I hope the devs really respond to a quick update or something else to help get the gems. And Characters. Anyway great vid.

Look at the past few AAA games WB has produced... It's usually never the devs doing this shit, it's greedy corporate over reaching.

    I’ve got about 60 hours on the PS4 version of the game
    (Keep in mind some of that is menus, load times and freezes/crashes)
    I did not play the beta at all
    The only character I’ve purchased with real money was Joker
    Aside from Banana, Joker and Shaggy I own: Bugs, Gizmo, Harley, Jason, Stripe, Tom&Jerry, Velma and Wonder Woman
    I think people kinda blow the character grind out of proportion because you get fighter currency from leveling up your characters, your account, the PVE mode and the battle pass (even in the free track)
    Considering it’s free to play and I own a third of the roster having only spent $10, I don’t think it’s as bad as people say
    Just look at Brawlhalla as a comparison, it might have a bigger roster but the grind is way more harsh in comparison

They did a swap from UE 4 to UE 5 and had to rebuild the game, causing a lot of development struggles.

      Yeah, they really shot themselves in the foot with that change. I didn't think it was a huge deal, but looking into it some more, it literally was a rebuild of the game. Taking that into account and seeing how we are still missing features or have noticed how things have been taken away now makes more sense.

    Changing engines is the kiss of death to a project. I'm sure they felt they needed to change engines to "fix" some issues, but all it does is effectively reset any progress they made from the first two tests to zero. That's how it feels (and is) worse. They'd have to plow however long it took to make the original alpha/beta back into development again just to get back to where they were, let alone fix anything.

      Yeah I feel that switch was a bad choice, but if they knew how taxing it was going to be, then I believe the should've released later this year or next year. Maybe if they did that, then things would've gone different because I'll be honest, I completely forgot about Multiversus until they made an announcement to be coming back. Waiting another year would've been perfectly fine with me and would have been excited to jump right back into a complete game.

    I think it can be saved but its on thin ice. Here's what would save it:
    1) FIX THE ONLINE CONNECTION.
    2) Fix Battle Pass leveling. The gains are abysmal and daily missions that require you to spend real money is atrocious.
    3) Pve is tedious and boring. Make it shorter with a higher quality of challenges (like a shorter smash ultimate classic mode)
    4) consistently balance characters.
    5) refer to step 1
    Multiversus was a game i was/am still hyped for but these issues are slowly burning away that excitement to play the game. Which is wild because this game could've matched the level of smash had all the ideas landed.

    I got into the closed beta from Twitch Drops, and good god did this game fall off.
    I used to play this game daily for months back in its open beta, but I refuse to play this game regularly, if not, at all. I couldn't even play a proper online match with my friend Kyle without the server having a heart attack. And even as someone who has the entire roster unlocked, the insanely slow unlock rates on top of the terrible monetization frustrates me so much, where people like the previously mentioned Kyle can't get any of the stuff they want without grinding 35+ hours in a game that they don't like.

    having played a TON of the beta and getting to top 25 iron giant, i actually don’t mind the slower paced gameplay with like the 30 frames of input lag. maybe i have stockholm syndrome but you kind of get used to it after a while, and i prefer this system than the beta where everyone was dodge spamming/canceling everything they did so punishes were difficult to come by
    besides that, yeah im genuinely confused as to what they were doing with literally everything else. the ui sucks, the new maps are hot dog shit, there’s no ranked from the get go, and they’re drip feeding characters instead of releasing a ton of new ones from the get go.
    the hype from this game was because it was a free to play smash game where you could play as arya stark against superman. they should have doubled down on introducing characters for the actual release because otherwise the game doesn’t have much going for it

    It's really disappointing how many bugs the game launched with but PFG has been patching at a good rate. It's probably too early to say that it doesn't have a chance, this game has so much appeal that if they eventually get it right people will come back. I'd say the state of the game in a couple months should give us an idea on if WB/PFG have what it takes to fix it and keep it going.

  • @stanleywhisperwind3679

    It’s actually insane how bad they did at “developing” this game and anyone who tries to defend it needs to stop sucking the copium. The one major change they made that was positive was adding dodge stamina. Everything else just feels awful like taking kits away from characters (which they have only done more with patches while leaving characters like WW untouched somehow) to leaving in bugs to prioritize shit character balancing. This full release was such a step in the wrong direction and they show that they consistently won’t listen to the players with the updates. IG is still broken strong, whole DC cast + shaggy still dominating the whole roster.

    I had 130 hours in the beta and this was the first fighting game I wanted to pursue becoming a pro in, so I was more than a little disappointed in what was being offered on full release. I believe that this comes down to WB interference, because the game was not ready to be released and it's clear having to switch over to Unreal Engine 5 set the devs back in a big way. I feel like i'm playing a worse version of the beta that is now bloated with more features of which I can't even appreciate because of how much else has been taken away, and all the egregious monetization has WB shenanigans written all over it. They should have ran a one month closed beta to get feedback with the new changes, fix what needs to be fixed, and released the game at the end of the year. I love this game, and I want it to succeed, but it feels doomed right now.

It's not like they can take another year again since last time they came back with less stuff. They would need to really kick the tree to save it. Make the game not free at this point and add what people is asking. then sell the rest of your characters as DLC. If they have the balls to do that they can still save it but I just do not see it happening.

    The time it will reach the beta level most of the players would have left by then, unfortunately. They made a mistake not sure whether they were forced to upgrade the engine or not, but after that a lot of changes were made and a lot of things were removed. Its bit too much focused to make it pay to progress in xp gain and in rifts. Apart from that input delay is too much and connection errors are still there, along with that there are stuttering issues after latest update. They are trying but i dont know why WB is testing communities' patience for no reason, as they want to grab cash as fast as they can. Already knew I wouldn't be able to complete the battlepass because of the doubled xp gain needed to complete. I won't get also get most of the characters as quickly as i can. They have doubled the time and also doubled the price to get them.

I know good and dam well they knew since beta that shit is unbalanced and yet he can still do it. Not to mention they took armor spamming away from Garnet but no let's not take it away from one of the best characters at the time and to add to this they obviously worked on him a bit by changing the sound effect on his lasers and how flight works but nope armor still exists.
