ScorchedSoul Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 So since the saves have been/are being released for legacy servers and we're being forced to use them via Nitrado, does anybody have any genuine experience with using their servers? My server isnt being repurposed but I've been told all legacy saves are being released so a few of us are considering this option. Dont want any haters or lovers, just honest opinion/experience. Ive been looking online and genuinely cannot find a single good review for them, yet its our only option if we want the saves.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricblooz Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Everything I have heard has been negative, but the only experience i have had with them as been on the console officials. I will say that whatever equipment Nitrado uses, it simply cannot be up to snuff. I run a 50up/50down fiber connection and a wired Xbone. For comparison sake, I regularly clock latency to EA's (BF1) East coast servers in the low teens and in the 30's to Europe. I have never gotten better than a 60ms latency to Nitrado's console servers and they usually run in the 80's for me (with regular spikes into the 130's). When I ping test my entire network (wireless connection form my laptop), I usually get 30ms latency and a 30up/30down rating, I don't recall my exact packet loss rate, but I know it was within parameters. AFAIK, Nitrado's US servers are physically located in NYC. I'm close to DC, so the physical distance between us is not part of the problem.

DarthaNyan Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 For me as EU player Nitrado's official EU servers lag and rubberband more than official US servers. Despite difference in latency that is noticeable on US servers overall performance was much smoother there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShieldWolf Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've seen a lot of negative stuff about Nitrado and I'm not discounting those peoples personal experiences BUT... I've been hosting servers for a while now and I'll say that you get what you pay for. If you buy the basic stuff you get basic performance. Once you get past a certain number of people you start to experience lag/ping spikes. However, upgrade your service and the service improves. I've never not got what I pay for out of them. And the servers have always been stable. I'm not sure about that NYC comment but mine are run out of California. And I live in Florida currently. My biggest complaint is the customer service hours... I've tried 3 different providers in the past and Nitrado is my PERSONAL favorite thus far. One of the others being host havoc. I can't remember the other one. I also can't speak for the XBOX experience, I'm solely a PC gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katoosh Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've been playing on (not hosting) a UK Nitrado PS4 server for the past week and it's been so much better than playing on official. Getting about 20ms ping and no lag so far (about 10 to 20 players). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorchedSoul Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Thank you all for replies! On a more specific note, it would be a PS4 server and likely with people from EU and NA, but its nice to get an overall review. Its nice to hear at least some people have good/reasonable experiences with them, shame more don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been looking online and genuinely cannot find a single good review for them, yet its our only option if we want the saves.. Our (a tribemate and mines) experience is that we had a server for ONE MONTH. We experienced same lag, rubberbanding and freezes as we would on an official server. Mind you, there was 3 to 5 players max on our Nitrado rented server while our official server had 20-30 people on. After one month we switched providers and the lag, rubberbanding and freezes were a thing of the past (in the same mind set of 3-5 players online simultaneously). As a complementary information, their UI is not user friendly, their support takes time to answer issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator ThzNutz Posted August 29, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2017 have not had a hosted server with Nitrado, so no real opinions there. i currently host our Dark and Light server with GTX Gaming and have had good luck with them. have had only one issue, support was fast to respond to my ticket and server was back up in just a smidge over an hour. control panel is easy to use, has full ftp access, etc. and they are reasonably priced (imho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes across that way in the post I read. If not, what are some of the (best) others available?

Ganelon Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've used Nitrado with 3 games: 7D2D, Empyrion, and Ark. I ran an ARK Center map, and it was okay for a small group. 7D2D and Empyrion were excellent. The ARK server was okay... better than the Official, but there was some rubberbanding during flight. Mind you... this was on the cheapest option for the server. My expectation would be that if I put more monthly to upgrade the processing/memory... I't would be okay for a friends population server. Nitrado is very cheap at the ground level... much more so than others. What I liked about it was that you pay for a game server account, and can use it for any game... i.e. you can change it to another game on the fly. The server tweeting was meh. I've also worked with Blue Fang, and though they were pretty good for performance, they are slower on ticket response. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshRid Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Do they enable you to access/backup the world save file? My thought process is can I host the decomissioned servers on Nitro for a month to get the save files and then host them myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aonome Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I tend to get lag on Nitrado servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vrallox Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've had a few dealings with them. I can't say anything negative because negativity is quite literally against the forum rules so I'll just say to go elsewhere unless you don't have a choice. The last time I had a server going there were a few...not problems...and these...not problems...were completely unrelated to Nitrado in every way, shape, and form. I even stopped hosting altogether because of my PLEASANT experience with Nitrado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, but people keep saying they're releasig all and somebody in a different topic said they had their save and were in it (a server not being repurposed) clearing stuff. So not confirmed by any means, but I did take their word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerfurby Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 from my personal experience with them... every other hoster in the world can only be better. they have bad hardware, crap support and are allways hours ( sometimes days) behind on updates. and there is no way to update the servers yourself ( atleast not in germany) on the bright side: you only need to host the server for the 30 days minumum, during that time you can just download all the save files via ftp and go to another provider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShieldWolf Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'll confirm you can download whatever saves you need with an FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumzonmyplumz Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Stay well away from nitrado is my advice. customer support is non existent!!. server crashes host side all the time. lag spikes with less than 5 people on server. I'm still waiting for a reply form a support ticket I submitted a day ago. very unhappy with the service they are not providing me with (Can't even get onto my own server) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
