If you're EU/AUS and you've made any thread about your high ping or lag and you're not in the test servers. You're shooting yourself in the foot. Only 24 people testing will not bring these servers to you. It just reflects that you don't really want them.

Don't bother posting to this thread about reasons. I won't respond to you, you should be testing that's all.

NO YOU DO NOT DESERVE HANDOUTS TO GO TEST. The PTR is gift enough for you to test it cost money to run and turn on the EU servers. You don't support it you most likely won't get it!

Can't we just have a server in the middle of the atlantic ocean? Why have they never thought of that?

[stjobe]

I was on yesterday, sat 45 minutes in queue with 8 other people.

Tried again today, same story. Not enough people online to even make one match.

I just wanted to check my ping

[Leiska]

I already played on it when it first came out. No point going back there as the rewards don't carry over.

I am too tired and absolutely shattered right now, but I am updating the PTS so tonight / tomorrow I can hop on though.

Been trying here and there today...
But too few people.

i would join the EU test server, but it requires me to have a second install of MWO, i'd rather spend that time downloading one of the other interesting games out there.
And thats exactly what i do.

I don't care if you won't respond but I'll tell a story for the community.

The last time I installed the test server, once the test ended I wanted to disinstall it.
Then I clicked to normal MWO and this message appeared: "Run mwo repair tool".
I ran it. I clicked to play, and then this message appeared: "Last patch install went wrong, try run repair tool, or reinstall the game" (or a similar message).

I tried to disinstall, but it was impossible, 'cause "there was no programm there"
I tried to install, but was impossible too, 'cause "tool" was saying "disinstal first" to me.

So I had to format C:, reinstall windows, reinstall all my stuff, etc.

I will never ever install test server. EVER.

They could put one in greenland and one in Hawaii. But... it wouldn't do a great job of servicing the core American market.

[Elizander]

They need to make 2v2 or 4v4 matches happen

[Speedy Plysitkos]

Simply put it on LIVE. if it cause trouble, you could always tick only US server, which will be same.

[Paigan]

Already was .
Ping of 25-45 instead of 115.

[Bill Lumbar]

I jumped on and tried to play maybe three games.... first two games played medium mechs, and then the next one I tried out that 6 Ultra AC/5 dire build. Searched for almost 20 mins. before I gave up. I am in the US and near Bloomington Indiana, and my ping is normally around 69-125. On the test server I was jumping from 300-350, and it kinda sucked! I feel for you guys that have the higher pings after only playing two matches with around 300.

I am not going to download another 7GB overnight just to test a server. Either PGI is going to give us Servers or they are not. If they cannot understand why players balk at downloading 7GB than PGI has greater problems.

That is my reason and I won't bother listening/acting to the demands you expect players to conform to Imperius.

Never read such kind of brain****, what need to be tested for Serverinstalation of a game the compares to the current Server(s).

What should be tested there the location?
What did it cost, nothing.....
Every ISP will allow you to test for a month for free, otherwise take another ISP.....

Had 3 or 4 matches - Ping was very good and game felt smooth and responsive.
Matches were pretty brutal but i am not sure if it was the better Ping or the more optimized Mechs that were fielded.
I wanted to start slow and begun with a Summoner that is roughly equal in combat value to my Thunderbolt 5S(P) but i never found any more matches after that and abandoned the Test pretty much.
But i got my taste of actual Clan Tech and could do a few Testing Ground runs.
The Players probably were much to few for more than a parttime low stress tech demo of EU-Servers.

But it is not really a surprise...midweek, short announcement time, no real incentives = low motivation to participate.

I installed the test client and tried to do some testing. I searched for game for 2 hours or so. Never found a game. gg.

[BigJim]

There's an EU server being tested?

[Thorqemada]

Not anymore - but it will go "life" with the July 21st patch!
