Well then you must wait 5 mins i guess.

Being Oceanic i turn off EU myself. 400+ ping times is too much.

I don't generally ever see long wait times after the first match - which I have no idea what the deal is with that. Finally got oceanic turned off and it's maybe slightly longer but it's worth not dealing with arbitrarily high pings when a bunch of US players get tossed in an oceanic match.

Do you generally have 200ms+ pings on oceanic being its your local zone? For me that makes anything not hitscan all but unusable, especially if everyone is on that type of delay.

200ms is par for the course for any Aussie connecting to a US server, it will be double digits on the Oceanic server. The game doesn't usually have any issues with damage reg until you get to 300+

Any issues are usually due to a latency spike due to an unstable connection, and that can happen on any server at any ping

The game isn't a fast twitch shooter, so 200ms isn't an issue

What I usually see when pulling an oceanic server is that every player has 200+, usually in the mid 200s. It's like they just threw everyone looking for a match from NA onto the first open slot in that zone. Personally I always had issues with hit reg at that ping, and having players rubberband or jitter-port.

It might not be a twitch shooter, but when you are using projectiles adding +200ms to your normal ping causes a lot of issues, when everyone is a quarter second behind then the server is a quarter second behind before it even starts processing any shots/mech locations/sound-animation triggers.
And if at least one person has a reasonable ping, the server doesn't seem to get so weird, when everyone is slow then pretty much all hope is lost.
