I feel you, bruh. No Taiwan really is a bummer :-(

It's strange that there's a HK flag but no Taiwan flag... And no, I'm not Taiwanese, just an American living in Taiwan...

Taiwan is so far very near Singapore.

I wouldn't call 2000 miles nor a 5 hour flight "very near"

HK and maybe Japan are near Taiwan.

Thanks PGI, appreciate the added time. Hopefully the server boots will be resolved soon

[Andan]

So in the last 3 days I have tried to play in Oceanic twice. Both around 8am MDT. Both were disconnects. I am losing faith in this event. In total I have been Disconnected 7-8 times in 20ish matches

Ya............. I would like to formally announce that your are incorrect. They are not by any means stable. 7 matches and only two complete games.

OK PGI no good extending the event on a server that does not work. you say 1% fail rate, pigs arse!! I have a 50 to 65% fail rate

Time to take down the server and get it fixed. Then restart the event

[Alexander Garden]

The Event has been put on-hold until the August 18th patch, pending some code changes rolling out in that patch which we hope will resolve the ongoing issues. The original post has been updated with the following information:

LATEST EVENT UPDATE (August 13th)

As a result of ongoing Oceanic server instability, the Oceanic Takeover Event has been put on-hold until after the August 18th patch.

While the recent server adjustments have made some progress toward reducing the frequency of issues, persistent disconnects and connection instabilities are still occurring. We will be rolling out some code changes on August 18th that we hope will resolve the remaining issues.

The event is no longer running as of this post, but the Oceanic servers will remain open.
The event will resume on August 18th after the patch has rolled out, and will then run until August 23rd at 10:00 AM PDT (5:00 PM UTC).

We apologize to all MechWarriors for any frustrations encountered as a result of the Oceanic server issues during this event.

[Zaldier]

makes me glad I have done 12 games in each on the OC server.

[Torezu]

The rest of the stuff stays in the account, but it seems unfair to the people that got a few days of active premium time on the glitchy servers, then couldn't really make use of them. I think it would be nice of PGI to just give everyone a couple days of premium time, say the weekend after the patch, to compensate for the trouble.

[EOD Operator]

The event ends on a Sunday?

[Angels Bane]

my kdr thanks u

[Hades Trooper]

so this will be like then once it restarts the 6th weekend in a row with the same event?

when did i stumble into ground hog week?

an what if you only had to do some EU server games? thats on hold also? ok, working as intended?

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

Is that from the d/cs or that you can't handle a 200 ping when us Aussie's been playing with 250+ for 3 years now?

[Javenri]

This was a wise decision. I really hope PGI will work this out so everyone can enjoy the event and our Oceanic friends enjoy their server.

[MW222]

Let hope this is not another LAMP POST related incident!

[Jman5]

Maybe it's nothing but did something happen to matchmaker in these last few days that's tied with Oceanic or this event? Lately match quality started to feel different (I have everything selected).

Were the disconnects on Oceanic messing with people's Elo?

Good to see that they are working hard to sort it out.
Thanks PGI.

And it's back up again with the patch on the 18th?
Along with the new Forest Colony map?
Shiny.

[G SE7EN7]

scrape the event and run a CW event

[kuritakun]

scrap the event and just give us all the rewards why dontcha...

[MechWarrior3671771]

Its not impossible. I'm currently sitting at 19 Assault, 14 Skirmish and 30 Conquest.

Plus, cut PGI some slack. I'm thinking this is more of a sub-contracting problem.

[Sagamore]

I wish this was better advertised in the client (or at the very least on the tournament page itself). I queued and waited too long to play 3 conquest games on Euro servers with bad ping. Refreshing the tournament page I noticed something was awry when my scores didn't update.

My thoughts exactly. So far that premium time boon is a waste for me, as I don't have motivation to play other than free stuff
