Biggest issue you will find is likely kill shot recognition - actually getting kill shot credit when you are 1/3 of a second behind the game can be nearly impossible - someone else has likely beat you to it.


what
ping doesn't matter there, you shoot, you do damage, then eventually kill; it's not like it's a competition who presses the button the soonest, kills are usually a result of lengthy process of shooting when you cannot really predict which shot exactly will kill the target, this or the next or may be the second next; i mean it's largely accidental who gets the killing blow (those who do the biggest damage have the better chance obviously), and even when you quickly finish a single mech which 100% would die to your alpha it's rarely a competition with a row of your teammates

I'm looking for these flags to earn. How come they aren't available?

I know PGI said they would not do historical flags, but these countries both exist. The first is occupied by a foreign power, I know, but that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve recognition. The second is definitely an independent and advanced enough nation to have plenty of people playing the game on the internet.

Nice event, now i know what people meant with "zoom lag"...

11 more drop for 1mil. If i can stand it.\

Nope, 2 drop is enough to realise 300ping is not playable. The zoom is just the first noticeable thing that lags, the xair dont turn red in time either.

no it is not; no more than texas is an occupied part of mexico; it's just china is a potential enemy of usa and so usa kind of semi-supports dalai lama

also consider to watch this that's about the glorious tibet in its free days https://factandtruth...ights-of-tibet/ (some very 'nice' photos)
also this http://shetterly.blo...lavery-and.html

basically tibetan feudal lords fought with china to preserve a very brutal slavery and nowadays their offspring plays on chinese-american relationships for his personal gain... and you want us to have their flag

I recommend pass on this one. The ping is really bad and the players are rudest I have ever seen.

One suggestion is that you should give up sniping on the Oceanian servers. I'm always brawling ... hard to miss when the target is right in your face.
But I guess most of you cannot even connect to the server, so that's something nobody but PGI can fix. Too bad for the event.

Was going along great despite high ping til I finally got the disconnect from server issue, now I can't rejoin, and mech is still in match.

I was planning to stick it out for the 3 mil CBills, but now I think I'll just see if I can snag the 3 days premium, and gtfo while the getting's good.

same. had a 12 man queued up and we all disconnected we're attempting to drop again - lets see what happens.

Drop is successful. Looks like just a hiccup

WOW, ping is out of control and keep getting kicked out of matches on the Oceanic server.

Why are the flags horizontally flipped?

I must add that i crashed out of an NA assault game once the score/exp/earnings showed, stats didn't even register.

I think i sent some error message to PGI, interface inbuilt by them.

R.I.P. CW ..


CW is clearly not a priority as PGI aren't worried about the low population it seems. No new Maps since Forge, no new game objectives..

I keep coming back to see if things have improved. They haven't. They wont.

Pity

I'm getting a 230 ms ping from the EU, and it's not bad at all to play there.

What is bad is that I get kicked from the server mid-game about 20% of the games. And then can't rejoin (throws back to hangar), and it looks like I'm losing all rewards that I accumulated in the game.

I've never had this issue with NA/EU server, so something's definitely wonky at PGI's end.

I'd really like to participate, but it's not looking easy to do so.
