I am not an australian but I vote for australian servers. Just as long as they don't start region locking, I would be sad to not be able to play with my commonwealth brethren.

Agreed, I like the ability to play with so many nationalities.

What ping do you average. ?

At a minimum 300, usually about 310-320.

Ouch !! That's the late 90's good connection speed.

I'd get Telstra to run a check on your lines. Would not surprise me if they are old and in need of replacing.

All I can say at this point of time is - despite being a willing founder - is that I am glad this is a free-2-play title - as I am just as free to NOT play.

At ths point of development as a lone wolf player the most I am able to contribute to the team is run zombie builds and stand in a square, or spam streaks.

Edit: Bump for a netcode fix and Oceanic servers.

Would also like to add my vote for a localised server. Due to the latency, ballistics is almost impossible, and lasers are not much better. I've had to use a Streakpault throughout most of Beta, as it's the only reliable way to put damage on the enemy. I know the netcode is not helping at this point, but 280ms ping on top of it makes it very frustrating.

I'm playing with 285ms. Theres a reason why I go catapult.

because they look so cute

Ah it does my mercenary Scottish heart good to see another group of fellows with a good sense of humor. Maybe I'll let you hear me pipes playin Scotland the bold in game lol.

Might've already posted in here, but bumping again anyway. I have a hard enough time leading a shot in normal FPS games with pings below 75; it's not uncommon that my Hunchie's AC/20 runs out of ammo having failed to hit a damn thing.

Haven't done too badly with a CN9-AL, though. Still suck, but at least the damage output's a bit more consistent.

[Dirk Le Daring]

Great to see more joining in. Weekend bump time.

I'm not aussie but I love playing with you guys on TS so anything they can do to increase the number and help out the Aussies is A-OK in my books! Plus I love the accents. (PS If you have any women handy put them on the mics as well lol)

[Valore]

Well it seems to reflect that the numbers on lyonn's thread are pretty much accurate then, at least when it comes to Aussie players.

That's like asking an American to put a valley girl on the line At least if its the very strong accent you want to hear.

+1 for our fail PM's faceplant

[Valore]

He needs to be more specific I for one don't think it'll do Australia's image any good if we put people who sound like Pauline Hanson on TS

I guess that's normal though, everyone thinks everyone else's accents sound cool.

[Sandpit]

I could live with the Australian girl from the movie Death Proof. Works for me!

It would be great if you guys get your own server there is Australia but it would also be a loose for the other servers that you currently play on. I have played with some great gamers from down under in Planetside, and WOW. Best of luck on getting the server though.

I agree with this, its the one reason I'd hesitate before making the decision to switch. I do enjoy playing with all the guys from Europe and the US as well.

However, I suspect I would eventually switch, just because having to lead everyone all the time just gets frustrating.

I try to follow others, but I just have this natural tendency to take the leadership roleas frustrating as it can be lol.

Hahaha, no no, I mean in terms of shooting people XD

If I don't lead people with my weapons, I miss all the time Which is annoying.

As far as leadership is concerned, I think Aussies tend not to be too bothered with that kind of thing. Laissez faire and all that.
