I did it for my aussie friends!

It's been quite hilarious, and also instructive: it showed me "how da hell they could play mwo all these years"... !!!!

No Singaporean Flag? That is a bit ironic, isn't it.

CW is clearly not a priority as PGI aren't worried about the low population it seems. No new Maps since Forge, no new game objectives..

I keep coming back to see if things have improved. They haven't. They wont.

Pity

Just wait till steam. Then things might pick up on that. Of course how long till steam?

Mmhh, i was playing Forest Colony Snow in skirmish mode and lost connection to the server, when i was trying to rejoin it always said : Crimson Strait in conquer mode and disconnected the moment the loadingscreen ends. Strange.

Its actually not that bad. Yes 250 ms is noticably different from 20 on EU and 130 on US. but I am still able to hit things with my lasers and AC shells.. loads of trees, mountains, houses, rivers and lakes have taken some serious damage from me.

But truth be told, aiming at 250 ms ping in MWO is a lot easier than at 100-130ms ping in some FPS games. Thanks to the crosshairs registering hits it is possible to figure out where to aim ahead of your view.

Cool. Not sure how I am going to complete the Oceanic server challenges as I get kicked off of them due to high ping, but still.

I'm with you, I've never had connection issues in MWO on NA nor EU but I do with Oceanic. I hope this can be alleviated before the event is over!

[Mochyn Pupur]

Great going so far - Oceanic Server only 7:7 matches kicked from game and not able to get back in . . . . .

Sorry 7:8 - the last one let me rejoin a match on a map I wasn't fighting on - THEN - kicked me back to Mech Lab

The Singapore server desyncs 50% of games. How is this challenge remotely possible?

[el piromaniaco]

The Ping wouldn't be THE problem,
Disconnects is the Problem.

Really annoying.

because singapor eis nto a cauntry it is nowdays just a giant island being a serverfarm
Like soem of the other no name country islands that just make money by being able to sell their domains.

Disco's are the real pain. You can adapt to high ping. I used to be on really bad DSL and had the same issues as I see now connecting to Oceana. My opinion is we are loosing packets in the pipes because they are over subscribed. (oh and I do work networking for a living.) the game plays with a high ping, but you loose too many packets and the servers are forced to boot you. Supporting this theory is that the servers did not boot me earlier in the day, but only during peak time.

[Luscious Dan]

Haven't played a match on Oceanic just yet, but I have been working on the Euro challenges and I must say things are going more smoothly than the first time around (seem to be pinging around 160 ms). Occasionally get some warping around but I've managed some of my personal best games in the Shadow Cat over there, so I'll take it.

Hopefully Oceanic is playable when I hit my Euro rewards

[Malus Darkwood]

The game server issues and lag problems are only there, to make the oceanic flags a REAL price! Just think about what you have to go through to get them! They are the rank 20 of the normal game mode!

Yeah, I would be happy if i can mange at least 9 points in OC Conquest to get the Sonic boom.

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

this sum's up every oceanic players experience for any match up to now.

[FilthyPeasant]

Looks like the D/C issue has gotten worse. Not only does it happen at least 1 out of 3 matches but when I try to rejoin, with and without restarting the game client, it tries to connect me to a different map (Caustic to Terra) with a different game type (Conquest to Skirmish). I only have Conquest selected in the game client for OC servers. I hope these issues are addressed quickly as I gained a day of Premium time I'd like to use to the fullest!

Edit (more information)

Also, well after 15 minutes has passed, I can't start a new match with said mech as the button still shows "Rejoin" so essentially my mech is locked and unusable.

[Bud Crue]

Seems like the conditions are far worse than the ping alone would suggest. After maybe 20 matches, my ping has been around 250 (mean, I had one over 650 and one around 200, but I will toss those) but the matches have been playable only about a third of the time.

Play conditions are:
1) tolerable play with occasional lag;
2) the match consists of random pauses (mechs walking in place for a few moments), followed by spastic teleportation and zero hit registration, and then death (typically from the mech that you appear to be shooting, but which has actually moved on sometime ago and is now shooting you in the back); or
3) disco (usually the beginning of number and then disco).

I know a few Aussie players who are incredible players. Just excellent. Now, If they have been playing constantly with conditions 2) and 3) all these years, then I freely admit they are the greatest players in the game. No ifs, ands or buts.

I 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.

Until then I think I must accept that I lack the patience or skill to play on the oceanic server.
