First match, lowest player's ping was 190, most were 2-300, mine: 288

I guess there's no locals on the Oceanic server, that'll help, if we're all playing with horrible ping ;p

This is going to be interesting to say the least....

[VixNix]

something wrong with the servers?
disconnected from game, and error when click rejoin!

[Sonny Black]

Oceanic...Screw that! 400+ pings Lag Hell.

[Vlad Striker]

400 ping 3 kills 500 dmg. Good staring

oceanic servers are a little "unstable", just got a disconnect from server during match with no reconnecting possibility

me too - logout login didn't help either

Edit:another game ended but before the scoreboard is shown the server connection lost, rejoin not possible and no c-bills or XP awarded!

Yeah going to have to pass on the Oceanic selection due to monster ping (360) - I get 90-ish on NA and 20-ish on EU - will just have to aim at getting the flags from those.

Any have tips for thriving in a higher ping server?

Big or small mechs? Beams, missiles or pinpoint (PPC/autocannon/gauss)?

My Cheetah had a tendency to warp around, wreck its legs in latency-induced collisions, etc. during the earlier European server event.

I'll struggle through the 3x to get the premium time but then I'm out; The performance is too bad for it to be worth playing even with the event..
Hats off the the players who have been managing to enjoy the game with such high pings all this time but for me? A game has to foremost be fun, and playing with apx 300 ping just isn't.

after the event for EU servers ans the announcement for OC servers i was like:

"they hopefully won't do this again for OC servers. making your players grind through 72 while most of them have a 300+ ping would be just stupid."

....

i stand to be corrected....

crickey

They're essentially asking us to stress test the servers and are rewarding players with items for doing so. They're making you do what, again?

If you don't want to help, don't. You can just sit there being indignant over nothing.

[Gumon Choji]

This is a good sale.

[KHETTI]

sorry but you can't possibly expect to run this challenge on the Oceanic server, no wonder its practically empty.

Edit.
So my initial comment was based on the one and only game on the Oceanic server, which had wierd lag, and i got disconnected from about 3 minutes in.
It seems now i can't launch into a game in any mech and get a disconnected from server error.
Logged out and logged into world of warships.

Can't find a place to report the bugs on this event. So far 2 times in about 12 games, I get dropped, completely time out. Try to rejoin and kicked back to mechlab screen saying "disconnected from game server".

NA trying to play on oceanic.

EDIT: After 5 minutes try to rejoin the assault game we were winning on possibly. Connected me to a conquer game... I have only assault selected for games to connect to.

That happens when a new game is launched in that particular server instance (I think), but you'd never "rejoin" a game you weren't a part of.


Also, I guess it took a while before the timer was fixed.

Do a netstat at command prompt while connected and you can find the IP.

[Jeffrey Wilder]

Good move with the extension and not starting all over

[Erik Ouzbel]

I'm getting a disconnected from server error when I'm trying to rejoin a skirmish match on the Oceanic severs just now.
I've also done more than 30 points of damage in seven matchs so far, and haven't gotten any match points for them, too.

Same here - I call it quits for today.

Well if you finished and got your flags prove your worth in COMMUNITY WARFARE
Or not

I would, but oh, the vast but empty halls of the elitist players... and i just cannot be bothered to fight invulnerable Arctic Cheaters any more. Will wait until PGI fixes that, wallet's on hold.

Nice to see it's a continuation of the other event. Always enjoy these things.

I would like to point out to every one who is putting up posts at the moment that as I write this little message, it is:

9:30 AM here in Sydney Australia.

Unless there are a few who happen to have taken the day off, everyone is at work or at school or university or whatever. (Bugger)
I just happen to enjoy visiting the forums from work but know what I'd rathe be doing!!

I would also like to mention that a connection from this region to the NA server gives typically around a 250 ping and it's 350 to the European server.
It is still quite playable.

The patch tomorrow will hopefully sort out the other little issues so that's great to see.

Good luck everyone, see you on the battlefield.

When playing on high ping servers, best weapons are PPCs, missiles and ballistic - once they are fired they become projectiles and damage registration is handled server end (so ignores ping) - just have to lead a bit more. Horrible when targets are up really close though.

Laser hit reg is spotty, and pinpoint accuracy is not great - i find i can hit the target easily enough, but with longer impulse (ie large lasers, ER large lasers) weapons t is hard to keep on target, and trying to hit a particular spot on a mech.... yeah right!

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. I have always had more success with a few large weapons that the typical mass of small rapid fire weapons.

Finally, as 50 50 said, it is the start of the workday down here. there will be plenty of us on to kill you all tonight
