humbly beg any of you amazing players to please teach the rest of us your techniques for anticipating random freezes and coping with teleporting graphics. Cuz its beyond me.

It's not the freezes that highlight the amazing players, but playing with a 200+ ping since the game started. Personally got 3 in Locust and Hunchback, then first in Zeus in the comp games (not through group matches). Can only imagine doing the comps with a ping below 230...

You play with the cards you are dealt and learn to adapt, deal with it and just do the best you can

Our friends in the US might have to give it a go someday, just to see what its like

As for me, ping difference between USA and OC servers are not vital (Hello from EU). Delay is there, for both. Both are ok to play, congratulate your engineers for new HSR.

Great event !
But I wont play on Oceanic server with their ~ 400ms ping.

[Motörhead]

1st of all, thanks for the event, great stuff to win.

On a side note, the experience on Oceanic servers was terrible, not much for the ping, which is normal, but for the DCs, like 3 every 10 games.

Awww, people from Oceanic servers got all the coolest warhorns

[Angels Bane]

well i guess the main thing to take away from this event is to never, ever, ever play on the oceanic server.

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

I love this challenge event but for the LOVE OF ... Dog and all thats holy.

Don't force us to play on these Oceanic servers !!!

I am sure its the dial up latency that's causing the problem but I am suddenly getting cored all over and over MASCing myself to bits...

It's insaine watching light mechs teleporting and shooting em with rubber bullets. It's not fun at all !!

Ok I just piloted a light mech and ran round around a corner 3 times... what on Earth?!

PGI, please consider extending the Oceanic event deadline to give players a chance to complete the challenges. Right now it is hard to find a match, let alone finish it - almost every third game ends in a disconnect with no chance to rejoin...

Or even better than just extending the event: First give the oceanic servers more stability and then extend the event!

Where is this oceanic server setup..? Which country?

Singapore, I believe.

The Oceanic Takeover event will be extended until further notice.

I've updated the Oceanic Server Disconnects thread with the information below.

The engineers performed some work over the weekend in an effort to resolve the Oceanic server issues, but disconnections and general instability are still effecting the Oceanic servers as of this morning. The server crashes highlighted in the original post were a side effect of a greater issue that is currently being investigated.
While we are working with our hosting and server partners to resolve the ongoing issues, the Oceanic servers will remain active.

[Not A Real RAbbi]

This event, stacked with the double XP weekend, has make a HUGE dent in skillbuilding in my new EBJs and ACHs! Also, the free premium time, consumables, and all? Awesome! Thanks a ton, PGI!

[ET Penang]

I hope the premium time get extended too since we can't use it for completing the event in time.

[Alexander Garden]

Hey everyone,

The event will be extended until August 18th at 10AM PDT / 5PM UTC. I've updated the OP with some additional information.

[Luscious Dan]

Thanks Alex. Will there be different sales coming up this week? I assume those lovely mechbay and module discounts won't last forever.

[Commissar Aku]

So the longer this event takes, the longer it is going to be before I get to play CW again. Could you guys just end this crap or add CW to the points you get so more people will play instead of less.

[Deathlike]

If one would just increase the double XP weekend length or just the Modules sale for a bit... that would take of the edge a little bit.

[G SE7EN7]

Another 6 days...what!!!!

There must be something wrong with out Taiwan.

Well, there might be nothing wrong since my ping at NA server is about 220 & EU server is even 400......
Taiwan is so far very near Singapore.
