Absolutely brutal wait times to get a match on OCE servers, especially if you're in a group.

70 ping OCE
300 ping NA
450 ping EU

so you can see why Australians don't want to have to tick all the server boxes.

I don't mind playing NA but right now I'm trying to get the OCE takeover event rewards. its 7pm here so it should be prime time for this server but we have been waiting in queue (all game modes ticket) for over 30-40 minutes already and its getting ridiculous.

I think PGI is honestly wasting its money on this third server, its dividing an already tiny player base by 3.

have they done this to prepare for a steam launch? Because I could at least understand that but there's no way to justify this server existing right now.

Edit: Maybe the PSR has something to do with it. Maybe I'm in a tier that has less people, so it takes longer to find others to place with me?

I play solo in OC and the waiting times were very short (1 min or less) :huh:

But actually the players were composed mainly of NA players I think because there were a lot of 200ms+ pingers. Only a handful were playing from AUS or SEA.

What are you suggesting? Would you like PGI to remove all the tier-valves from the Oceanic server? I can't think of anything else that would help, except if more players started playing.

thats what I mean, more players need to be playing to warrant this many servers, which I think we could get with steam. But right now I think they should disable the OCE server until then

I unchecked OC yesterday as lag is way too much for me, I'm getting 300-400 ping. Warping is very bad and hitting someone with ballistics is almost impossible. And I would guess that hitreg for all weapons is bad too.

The OC server is only for about what..? 5-10% of the entire MWO population from the start?

Its also location, PGI should have gone with either Australian services or India or Japan.

Singapore was a poor choice not only by location, but because of the entire country being firewalled to enforce internet censorship there.
