Your typical in-match ping and/or connection behavior on Live servers: ~80
Your in-match ping and/or connection behavior during a PTS match: ~165
A summary of your experience, such as how hit-reg and connection status 'felt' during the match: Hit registration seemed good with ERPPCs at 300+ meters. There were a couple of jitters and hiccups when moving, but overall the experience was much better than expected.

Your typical in-match ping and/or connection behavior on Live servers: ~120
Your in-match ping and/or connection behavior during a PTS match: ~220
A summary of your experience, such as how hit-reg and connection status 'felt' during the match: My FPS dropped from ~25 in a normal game to ~12 on the PTS server; combined with the higher ping, the game was completely unplayable. Additionally, for some reason the cockpit in my Pirate's Bane kept twitching left and right. The more I moved, the more pronounced the twitch became.

Regarding the FPS, check on your in-game video settings in PTS if you haven't already. They will likely be different from what you had set on the Live client, and may be contributing to that drop.

Adjusting the settings was the first thing I did after logging on. I honestly didn't expect much, connecting to a EUR server from Alaska.

You shouldn't be getting a worse FPS because of ping. If that were true, you'd see all us europeans get twice the framerate on the EU server

[Telmasa]

I still can't seem to find the right time of day to try finding a EU match, apparently! The qeue percentages are still sitting in whole fractions and I just spent at least a good 20 minutes in qeue, there's clearly not many on at this hour.

I'll try early tomorrow morning and see how it goes....

At least I can report that everything client-side appears to work just fine, I guess; and I got to test out alot of iffy builds I always imagined but never tried before in the testing grounds, so it hasn't been a waste.

Your typical in-match ping and/or connection behavior on Live servers: ?Your in-match ping and/or connection behavior during a PTS match: ?
A summary of your experience, such as how hit-reg and connection status 'felt' during the match: Search times were very long-I took 40 minutes or more to locate a match (probably not server related, just not that many people on PTS). I was never able to actually get into match because of this.

[Telmasa]

Yeah, is it possible we can test 8v8 modes while we're at it with the public test? Otherwise I'm not sure I'll ever be able to actually get into a match and test this European server connection lol
