Title says it all. I don’t want to be seen as some complaining idiot, but i am sick and tired of the Russians being the only ones who can consistently get a decent server for them and i’m not even sure that’s always true. I will occasionally get a server with 0 packet loss, but it’s more often russian then it is U.S. I think i probably have good ping one match out of every 30 with 1 out of 50 having no packet loss.
It’s time for new U.S. servers and more U.S servers. Whoever you are paying to host them is ripping you off. Some people have good connections to them i’m sure, but me, no. I’m sure if we hosted servers on the moon i’d get a better ping.
i have considered that it could be my internet connection, but lots of the time when i’m playing and get lag, other people complain about lag. not all the time, i do admit i have crappy internet. I get better ping and less packet loss on russian servers with the worst being eu servers where i get 50% packet loss and get disconnected twice a match and a 160 ping compared to a russian server where i get a 210 ping and 3% packet loss. Perhaps i’m russian and don’t know it, but i don’t think so. U.S. servers give me 60 ping, then 200 ping, then 1000 ping, then 140 ping, then 60 ping, with a consistent packet loss of 30%. I really hoped the servers would get better before this came out of beta. I am considering not playing anymore even though i just put money into the game. Instead of buying premium, can we buy good server access? That would be a huge hit i think!
With all this negativity, I should add something positive. Devs, you have made a wonderful game. You are doing a great job on this and this game keeps getting better and better. Good luck on fixing all this!
Also, can we change the skill rating so that it reflects actual skill? Perhaps factoring in a mix of damage dealt, deaths, ping, repairs, and beacon captures would be good. Even an average effectiveness for the skill rating would be an improvement. Thanks!
