Australian player here. The Perth server **SHOULD** be shut down. It is horribly under utilised because the majority of players don't get good connection to it and / or are too afraid if latency number gets too high



No, bad Rosarius, bad. /slap /slap

I do enjoy dropping on OCE when the majority of players are NA

I am currently overseas Ocean server is the only one I can play on where I don’t get disconnected…I have no control over the internet where I’m at so this server allows me to play…can’t play on the other two servers as my ping can get so high I either lag, rubber band, or straight up disconnect…shrug

mostly keep everything ticked for a couple reasons. the first is to keep the wait times down. the second is im placed such that the difference between the best server and the worst server is <100ms. a third honorable mention reason is that i grew up on ping times up to and beyond a half second, so quarter second and lower pings are good.

i think it would be better to let the game servers pick the best server based on the location of all the players in a match. simply sum up everyone's ping times to each server, and the server with the lowest sum gets allocated. of course i dont think this would be compatible with the current opt in system. for players opped into all 3, this would give you games with more optimal ping times and lower wait times. though players willing to wait longer for a better ping would be **** out of luck on this system.

a soft opt out system where i can say im willing to drop on any server but i would prefer to drop on this server might be a better option than just saying drop me anywhere or drop me only here. but were in algorithms territory here, do they even code?

Yes, there are players closer to Oceania servers :)

And even then, sometimes ping is in the triple-digits Posted Image
