like new fix my 1º 500 last move down 400 more work all fix

[Valkyrie73]

LOL people in Asia and US whinging about high pings. Aussies and NZers haven't played with pings less than 200 since day 1. My average on NA is 320, Europe 400+ and until now Oceanic was around 220. hilst it sucks for SEA players the Oceanic Server should have always been in Australia but I think Asia deserves its own server.

[Marius Evander]

I have never seen more than 3 people in an oceanic game with ping under 100 at once. now i am regularly seeing 6+ people in games with under 100 ping.

Having said that, why can i connect to NA server from Melbourne at 250 ping but NA cant connect to here with less than 350 ping? If this cant be fixed it will have to back to SG, ill probably play less having experienced what it should be like vs what we've had for years.

What pgi has to decide is, are there more steam gamers in South East Asia likely to pick this game up when solaris launches, or more people in Aus / Nz likely to pick it (back) up.

A thousand blessings MWO Team! Please leave the server in Sydney! This is the best ping I have ever got like 10ms! It makes a huge difference to all the Aussies playing your fantastic game. And there are more aussies then dudes in singapore!
1000
Blessings!

Did anyone got dc at the middle of the match? I got dc twice today, first back to login page and second one, back to my mech bay. No problem with my internet connection and router. Ping got a little better from yesterday. From 274 to 268 ms

It's not about AU/NZ players vs SG players, it's the rest of the world connecting to either an SG or AU/NZ server and whether they want to or not, deciding based on ping.

I stay in Malaysia, My ping was always less than 50 at Oceanic server, now is over 380, I guess I have to leave this one out from my game search.

[Appogee]

GREAT NEWS!

First time in 5 years of playing that I will be able to enjoy a ping of less than 200

[General Solo]

Woo Hoo Love it PGI

This could be an opportunity to tune HSR as now I gotta ultra guid (SYD) connection, a medium connection (NA) and a laggy connection (EU).
Gotta be others like me and its a data set worth analysing and could beif help to HSR tuning.

Thx PGI ur dat Best !!!!!!

This sounds like a terrible idea, as it would drastically increase ping time to anyone in Asia. Of course it will improve for Australia. But certainly not for Asia. And actually it will increase ping time for NA and EU players too, since Australia is further away from NA and EU than is Singapore.

I am located in Taiwan and the ping time to Singapore is about 50ms, whereas to Sydney it would be 170ms at best (using PCCW)

If you want to have excellent point of presence in Asia, obviously Singapore, along with HK and Tokyo are the hubs to be at for connectivity.

sydney is on the east side of australia. it's several thousand kilometres closer to NA

that's because pig think it's ok to bounce your signal all the way to america and then back to sydney.

because apparently that itsn't the stupidest thing ever.

Ive never seen 4 people in 1 oceanic quickplay game with ping less than 100. Now seeing 10+ most matches yay

[Hydrane 2501]

Good news are, for some Oceanic dwellers from AU, their ping improved drastically.
Bad news are, Oceanic dwellers number loss even more after already drindling in recent half a year, you won't get enough people for a match.
Good luck Oceanic players.

[Talorien]

Please bring back old Oceanic server, ping from Asia to Oceanic is now 330. It's worse than NA which is 260.

Ping from NA/EU to new Oceanic must be even worse. Which means no-one except AU/NZ will queue on Oceanic.

But yeah do please something for the AU/NZ folks too.

There's a reason for this: ping from anywhere but AU/NZ is bad. So others aren't queuing new Oceanic.

I used to see lots of NA/AU/NZ folks on old Oceanic, which means it was viable for non-Asia folks. New Oceanic is, sadly, only good for AU/NZ.

Wish PGI would do something for Asia *and* AU/NZ instead of it being an either/or choice

[EvangelX]

I am having some unusual issues after the first few hours.
Started with the immediate drop to 17ms and now back to 240ms as well as a black screen lock after loading from map select?

This is happening from two separate PCs..

An Oceanic server I would like to say it is about Aus/Nz players you in the rest of the world have NA and EUR.

While it is fun to experience the game at low pings and see how smooth it feels, if we don't have players using the OC server we shouldn't have it at all.

Server in Sydney. Half the players in the region are better off playing on the NA server and will deselect the OC server.
Server in Singapore. Half the players in the region are better off playing on the NA server and can also deselect the OC server.

There is little point in having regional servers if you can't get a game on them because there are not enough players that have selected to use the server. Selecting more than one server to improve your chance of getting a game highlights this issue and I would say that when I have NA and OC selected I would probably get more matches on the NA server anyway.

If everyone goes back to the NA server where lo and behold, there is a greater concentration of players in one spot, we get faster matches and maybe even better match making.

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying playing almost exclusively on the OC server while it is being tested in Sydney this week but I would prefer to get more matches more consistently and spend my time playing the game instead of watching the search.

[Ron Capt]

I am in Malaysia. Test again this morning, pings:-
NA 260
EU 270
OC 345
Thanks but no, I am better off get out of OC server now.
