Yesterday my bad 250 ping got even worse. On Europe server it was 410-415. Half of the players both sides had 200-300 ping and plus 4 afcs.
First time I enjoyed 400 ping. Well, you still can hit assaults with ppc. Lights 100% unhittable.
Of course, I cant play here anymore.
So I have 250 ping America and 115 ping Oceanic, which usually not active.

Am seeing a lot of newer players. Perhaps the servers are getting a bit overwhelmed?
As good as it is, kinda getting tired of people walking directly in front of me when I'm firing 4xRAC/2
I'm like WTF, why would you deliberately walk into friendly fire like that!

assuming its not something stupid like an outage somewhere.
the game makes stupid decisions about what server to pick for a pool of players. mainly because it asks the stupid question: "what servers do you want to play on?" when it should ask a smart question: "what is your preferred server". then what you do is when the mm comes up with a list of players for each team, it can poll the players (you can say it votes based on what the setting is) with the majority with the same setting winning.
you can perhaps also rank servers and used a ranked choice style vote. if your preferred server loses, your #2 may still win out. so while you may not get your first pick you are less likely to get the worst possible ping. you can eliminate the need to make a selection at all if your client periodically pings all the servers to see what the the order should be based on actual ping times. any gamer wants the lowest possible ping, so why bother even having a setting if the game can find the best solution.
with the population thinning out a bit, it would improve wait times significantly to remove the server selection options and pick a server based on everyone's actual ping. i figure most people just turn all of them on, or ignore the setting entirely, which is why you see so many games where almost everyone is on the wrong server. if everyone picked their best server, it would bucket the game more.
