So I've been doing a ton of PvP the last few days and have been wondering about the state of PvP on the PS3. My league mates have said over and over again that they can't see the other players in the matches. It's happening to several of my league mates so it can't be a internet issue. I myself have upgraded to the PS4 and haven't had any issues, but they keep complaining of not being able to see the graviton whatcha ma call it in the Safehouse PvP, but they can see it floating in the air. Or in the Watchtower not being able to see the Rock or the Rock just floats in the air.. PvP just seems to be getting worse on the PS3.
Yeah I can vouch for that. safehouse matches it takes nearly a minute for enemies to render(making me useless). And THE PIT!!! omg the pit is soooo bad. I wont be able to see anyone at all except for team mates. Obviously I cant fight what I cant see nor lock onto. PS3 has a huge disadvantage when it comes to pvp. I can only do ace chems(half the time) and 1v1 and 2v2...everything else is broken for PS3 users...but who gives a **** right I only pay $15 a month
It's why I retired from PVP, regardless even if your full T5 PVP gear. If you cannot see your teammates or the opposing players. There is no point in PVP because you'll mostly lose and get killed due from simply not being able to see the,. It's not your internet connection either because it happens in raids too. I can see PS4 players which is the real issue. Some PS3 players are the only ones I can see in these cases. It's going to be like hell when DLC11 comes out since it's PVP. I just hope to god I can see people in them.
Being on a PS3 myself in PVP players vanishing / reappearing. Or just being downright invisible while they pummel you into taking a knee is common now.So yes for me at least it has been getting worse.Dread going into anything with 5 people and having them magically appear only when you are right about to die is the worst. Is it dying tho? I don't know I just know it's not the most pleasant thing being on a ps3 right now and trying to do well...anything.
Yep anything that us 4v4 and above is useless for ps3. Pit, safe house, hq, fos are all unplayable. There had been many threads about the issue bit of course the dev will not knowledge it so yeah....
I'm just wondering if it's the Ps4 and Ps3 not meshing well? Or the levels themselves? I don't remember this being an issue when I was on Ps3 with Watchtower 5v5, or FOS, but I do remember the Rock in Watchtower 8v8 though not being able to see it.
This is why I keep saying that the ps3 needs to break away from the ps4 servers and get scaled back. It can't keep up at the moment* and it isn't fair to the ps4 and pc players that are being held back and to the ps3 players who are having all of these issues because the consoles hardware is being stretched beyond it's means. *Unless rendering issues are some form of intended feature that is.
I really don't want the PS server to be separated. Leagues would get decimated. Don't want to stop playing with people I've been playing with for years just because of PvP. Enough gets changed in the game because of PvP but that's a different issue.
Tested this in my friend's PS3 as well as my own. The differences are staggering. Huge rendering issues.
It's either that or the developers come up with some fix for it and unless they plan on magically upgrading the hardware in everyone's ps3's it's unlikely as they still haven't added in graphics settings. Lastly they could just downgrade the game in terms of graphics and a few other things but that'd result in a massive backlash so that's really not an option. EDIT: Also, use the reply button.

Past experiences with "general responses" eventually lead to confusion, bickering and moderator attention Just some friendly advice though
This has been going on for months and no dev has even made an effort to acknowledge it. This never happened until a few updates ago. Its nearly impossible to win when you cant see your enemies and they keep disappearing and reappearing on screen. This goes for lairs too, most of the time when you start on ps3 there is a delay and the enemy team has to re render each round making it hard to even target or hit anyone and can cost the match entirely. It feels like we're fighting in open world or something with this. If they need to tone down the graphics more on ps3 to make it stable then do it, anything to make the damn game playable again.
So anyways, I wonder if they could spend a little more time loading in. It would be a little annoying for Ps4 users I know, or maybe they could queue in Ps3 Users before Ps4 users to kind of time them so they start together properly.
The match making system has enough trouble as is. Plus I don't know if there's any way for the game to know specifically what console the game is being played from as they're both on the same servers.
A little more time loading in would help a bit more, but queueing in before ps4 users would be another imbalance. They need to just fix the rendering. Its the only thing that's ruining pvp and pve too for ps3 users. So bad when you can't see 7 feet in front of you without it re-scrambling and disappearing back to back. Just fix it already.
The amount of times lairs battles have started and I've already taken a quarter of their health before they have even moved.
