as part of a european based team i regularly play 8vs8 games
at certain times of the day we are facing american/canadian teams
we have 200+ ping
they have 30-50 ping
ballistics are useless
hitboxes are all wrong (target the CT ,hit the arm)
american/canadian teams are well trained and organised so they are already a big challenge
please don't add to the challenge things like:lagshield on lights,high ping on ballistics,...
they become almost unbeatable not due to better piloting or strategies but due to server lag
so it spoils the fun for both team!!!!
give us servers so that we can provide a strong challenge to our fellow canadians and americans
cool run to all...

you DO know, that you won't play against them again, if you are playing on a EU server and they on their NA/CA server, right?

[Sneakypoop]

Well yes, it's obvious. But the argument is still valid : it does spoil the game fun for both teams.
Not to mention the very noticeable number of commando mechs increase those last few days...

yes
loosing the chance to fight against US/Canada would be a shame but at the moment lag and high ping really make a difference!!!
when we lose it is usually because of our strategy not being as good as the opponents,don't get me wrong.
but winning gets real tough even with a sound strategy due to lack of EU based servers
Who knows?,they might find a way to let us compete against US/Ca whenever we feel like (then we would have the choice to face some lag/high ping)
anyhow i'm sure Europe can provide some VERY challenging teams too!!!!!

Just copy solution known from 99,9% of multiplayer games: Allow picking a server before launching into the battle.
TADAM! PROBLEM SOLVED.

PGI has stated that they are looking to setting up regional servers. However, right now, they have other priorities, and this one is very low on the list. Just be patient.

Learn to Lead Targets. The game will not survive regional splits with its current playerbase.

Lol how does that solve any problem at all?

There are no others servers to choose. Ill assume you mean if and when they add some choice.

At that point if they make it a choice what does it solve? Either op and his friends play on their EU server and the USA players complain or viceversa or they never play against each other again... which is what the post you quoted said.

Tadam indeed.
