Oceanic Servers \o/

Ok, I will never play on them but it's good seeing this game finally going out of it's "beta" state.

Seems to be a great patch !

But the best thing is -> "dynamic Mech portraits"

It would be fantastic, if this would really work !
Thanks !

Oceanic Servers
Oceanic regional servers are going live in this patch! The activation of these servers should have a significant impact on the playing experience for players in the Oceanic region, with reductions in server latency (ping) and a consequent impact in critical areas such as hit registration and player input responsiveness.
By default the Oceanic servers will not be selected upon your first login, but the server selection window will appear automatically upon your first login. Be sure to check the box if you want to join the Oceanic pool!
Connections to the Oceanic servers originating from the West Coast of North America should be strong enough for effective play, so we recommend that players in NA West region include the Oceanic region in their server selection window.
For other players outside the Oceanic region, we recommend that you run a match or two on the Oceanic servers to determine the quality of your connection in a live match.
As part of this final phase in our recent regional server expansions, we have also added ping indicators to the Server Selection window and Play Now statistics window.

The ping value and strength distributions are as follows:
Green status: 1-100 ping
Yellow status: 101-200 ping
Red status: 201+ ping

Finally! thank you PGI, really appreciate it, now I can play MWO again.

Many nice little things (except for oceanic players, huge things there^^), thanks as always.

I actually hope we will see a fixed version of the collision system in the future, liked the sparks and sounds when I was stumbling through buildings. Made me rethink my driving abilities.

I will miss the Oceanic players.

Arrrrmmm.... Some how feel this was not a wise decision on PGI's part if they wanted people to try Oceanic......

Also.... Thinking ping is an excuse....
Well... Fact is SEA people can carry matches at >300ms... in Euro servers.

It's mostly that Oceanic can be bad for ping for most US/EU players and they do not want the initial experience of ignorant newbs to get that awesome 400 ping when they first log in.

The other side effect is Less players for Oceanic... This might be something that can doom it to failure.

Oh well.. PGI's decision.... Just don't feel it is a smart one... If people don't like it, they can OPT out... Now by default... They won't even know....

Also this kinda contradicts all they comments that HSR game the game playable up to 400ms...

wtf, no nerfs for cheetah and no buffs to bap/nerfs to ecm range

not enough people bought cheetah yet?

Urbanmech for C-Bills??? When?

[Eagle01]

If we would another event like the European Take over challenge when the Oceanic server goes live. It would be nice if we had more flags for the Oceanic countries (i.e., Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, etc...)

On a note, although I'm glad that the Oceanic region would get a server, which would be beneficial to the steam release, I think I'll mostly stick with the NA server. Having my ping drop so drastically from 250ms would mean I would need to re-learn how to shoot.

It was just too funky.

While the sun moved across the sky, the planet didn't move throughout the day
The Color didn't change when it became night.
Clouds would go behind it instead of passing in front of it.

We urgently need the filter option to sort mechs by engine size!

So my Raven 3L didn't get another energy hardpoint. <kicks rock>

only the last is a valid reason though

it might be a gas giant of which the planet of the river city was a satellite

actually the giant star on that new cw map is way worse in the astronomical sense, any blue star being so close would evaporate the planet, and when everybody calls it star it's kind of hard to pretend it's another gas giant, you know

Its good that PGI is listening to feedback.
But you know, wouldn't you think that they could come up with most of the feedback we give, if they actually play their own game for a long time?.... i mean for fun... not for testing.

There was a time when there was no HSR, i remember slapping ac20 rounds into running lights while having 320ms ping for more than a year.
I know why i'm keeping EU and oceanic off.... I've seen the worst.!

They will know. When they first log in it will show that Oceanic is unchecked.
