Server Region selection

Just wondering if you can explain to me please, how the MM decides on which server to start the game on when faced with players from different continents ?

 

Reason for asking - Yesterday we had three games in a row pretty much on US servers (All 3 where 2 v 2 with the same people on each side)

Out of the 4 people …

 

1 x UK

1 x Germany

1 x Portugal

1 x US

 

So why did the all 3 games get played on the US server, when 75% of the players where European ???

 

And no - We did not select US servers …,.

Addendum: US servers are really bad for EU based players, any chance to lessen the ping/wobblyness? 

And actually, even IF we select EU server only, we might end up on an other one. So what exactly does the region selection at all?

It gives you smaller matches.

I usually do get placed in US Servers when flying PvE, which makes sense, but my PvP experiences are usually in the Russian servers.

well, im still pissed off about the MM, it is slightly better, flying R3 T1 doesnt get you into T3 fights, but still works like a xxxx putting xxxx folks on T1 gunships to be captains on one side (usually mine since i squad with my brother) and T2 top guard high DSR on the other team. And thats ALWAYS, i played a lot of matches today after the patch, and in every single one of them our team was a xxxx on a R1 noobie ship or an R2 fed engeneer while the other are always T2 ships.

 

It should pick an avaverage to good player, right now it choses which team should win by placind the noobiest captain on the team the MM wants to be defeated.

 

Kraimax,

as much as I have trouble with the MM myself: Plz stop desecrating every thread with the same copy-and-paste rant. 

This thread is about an other problem. Thank you.

Wait, what? Another Portuguese?

This should be fixed in 0.9.9. Please provide us with more feedback on the matter.

Thanks. Tried it yesterday. So far no problems with server selection. Read: If I pick EU server, i will play on EU servers.

 

On the other Hand: How did the Game decide, that with 3 EU Players and 1 US Player we ended up on the US-Server?
