Bring in a new server for people using the 'automatic server' option, while everyone else can only select their own.

Problem solved, although it would just be nice if the game ran a little less horribly when mixing regions, plenty of other games aren't this bad when joining people from all over the world.

That would be impossible. The battle is held on only one region's server.

He said it all^^

Edit: It needs a bit more detail actually. When a squad gets composed by players comming from different regions, they are automatically sent in a "World wild" server made specifically for that purpose. So if I want to play with american players, I'll have to pick this server. Otherwise I will always be on the EU server.

You would be playing on the Squad Lead's selected server.

But when is ping and hit detection going to be corrected?

Ping is easily fixed by region locking players in Pub and FW matches. Sorry Mex0Dust Slayer, Extasy Craving, Kaizuka, and lolSaxonmish, etc, but players from 3-5 separate continents shouldn't e able to play in the same matches, and players shouldn't be given the option to choose a server that's 12,000km away. Each region has a plentiful playerbase to choose from.
Either long ping players are easy kills because their hit boxes are on the screen 4 places at once, or they simply take minuscule damage because rendering is not lined up.

Hit-detection I feel is a matter of just slow software. The game cannot calculate damage and position fast enough. This is why explosives are quickly turning into the 50% of the killfeed, because marksmanship is just not a practical logic. You can have the best shot in the world, but firing "blanks" does nobody any good.
It's very evident with weapons such as FGs and Railgun Turrets. If firing at a long ping opponent, you'll find huge discrepancy. Such as your shots slowing down to crawl speed and floating across the map, or shot firing 1-2 seconds after you ceased fire.

What made me think of the slow software was sometimes I'll fire my SCR at someone. I'll fire a single charge shot, and will do about 50dmg to a players shields. This is why some matches it takes entire clips to destroy an enemy, and sometimes it takes so few rounds that you may over-fire your weapon.


I'm tired of needing to use core nades to equal out a bad PvP logic code. I implore you CCP to correct these issues as your main objective. Players simply cannot have fun when the game mechanics are this badly broken. And, naive new players are dying in mass to these faults and leaving the game before they even get started.

Maybe we should just close down all but the america servers and enlarge players hit box relative to their ping.

This is just as dumb as region locking so why not?

Or maybe if CCP didn't take nearly 2 years to get this game out of Beta then a lot of players would actually play this game, CCP would've been profitable earlier and the pool of players in each region would make servers for each region more desirable. Then again they really slacked off on their first year and did nothing.

Nailed it.
I really like how much work has been overtaken to the game, after Fanfest 2014. Rattattiattititati has done a lot, with less recsources. I may not like the changes, but at least he put changes into place and content has been updated.
If CCP was capable of doing this all along, why didn't they do so in the first place? It's a bittersweet ordeal.

Quite frankly, most of the defects in this game came from rushing. Holes in the maps, the latency problem, the lack of content, etc.
Most of the playerbase has left this game. More people have quit the game than are playing it. The old greats that are slowly sinking on the leaderboards aren't coming back, because CCP rushed out a large bitter pill, that eventually most player became sick of swallowing.

I would love for them to just focus on core mechanics for the next 6 months. I really think that would bring life back into the game. Because the steeper than usual learning curve is much more difficult when you're facing practically immortal enemies

So I can no longer play with my friends because they live in a different part of the world? F*ck that noise.

At some times the other regions are like a barren wasteland and active players dont want to search for half an hour to get into a match. Thats why some people switch their server settings to get into matches faster and lag is a double edged sword. It can work against you or in your favour. If you are lagging bad its not a uncommon thing to be shot when you jumped into cover. There are 2 worlds:

1. The game how you see it on your PS3
2. The game how somebody else sees you on his PS3

Sure I'll go play on my own server....oh wait, you dickheads ruined it all by AFKing on it and now it's gone, well have fun dealing with our terrible ping that is such a huge advantage for us, may we have many fun and prosperous games in your home server.

Yours sincerely, the oceanic playerbase.

You have no idea how much i love this statement lol enjoy our ping everyone!!

There is no South-American server, so send any complains to CCP. Also, this:






So reasonable and no mention to third world internet?

Does the real Dark Cloud know that you hacked his account?

tdc is quite honestly has one of the highest DUST I.Q. of about anyone in this game
