Obviously not first choice, but from my own experience I connect to NA/Asia servers quite well
The lag on these may be worse at times, but it's as frequent as it is on my native EU server.

I'm well aware it is a fool's hope I have for this Cry

But.. while we are crammed into mixed lobbies, with half empty matches everywhere.. I'm open to options.
For me potentially fighting mercs from around the world at any time would be some good gaming.
I think many others would enjoy it to, provided a lot of work was done on the server so it could function.

And if mash-ups are possible in Pubs (mixing regions, without as much lag)
Then the possibilities for FW and PC would be epic, and we'd have people actually playing these

If you don't agree post genuine reasons why.
FW/PC and region hoppers in pubs, all put strain on servers = lag
Why should this not be the priority of CCP to get working correctly??

The issue is that your connection is heavily dependent on how many hops it takes to get to where you're going, and what Service Provider you have. What might be no real disadvantage to you or myself might render the game unplayable for someone that has to take too many hops to get to the server.

Ideally, CCP would take their previous idea for Tranquility of setting up a series of Proxy servers in each continent and adapt it to Dust. That way instead of having battles on a server, you just connect to the closest TQ Proxy that then crunches your data and sends it to TQ, resulting in global play with less overall latency for everyone. The only thing TQ would have to do is compare the crunched numbers and then send it's decision back to the Proxies.

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game RUST415 1882	Posted - 2015.04.04 14:50:00 - [1] - Quote I have ranted about this in-game and in places on the Forum.. ONE SERVER for all players This would gives us the diversity of fighting mercs/corps from all over the world on Dust514 If a merged server was intended, there would be no room for complaints, regarding region switchers Also, FW would function without as many lag issues, and there may be some hope for quality PC matches I am not a developer, so I cannot quote specifics, but I'm guessing it would take a lot of work to sort out.. I began playing Dust514, for One Universe // One War. both the cross platform possibilities and fighting with/against players from around the world to contribute to the end result of these Wars... Though throughout my time here.. none of this has been available, and what we have is not worth the time. So if/when Rattati glimpses this post, please respond on how impossible this request may be.. so I can find peace ONE SERVER = One Universe // One War If CCP could offer this, they would offer another unique element to their project so it stands from the rest.

ARRGGGHHHGHGHGHGH The point is - I want to shoot everyone Not play the same squads in a constant loop of grind until you get bored - logout I enjoy fighting squads, and seeing players bringing new tactics into matches.. You cannot get this fighting the same players over and over again... especially scrubs When the connection works, the Asians are my favorite opponent .. they are murderers in a group The American server brings good fights, too many deadly blue dots though .... And EU ... let's just say, at times it's like an entire region aspire to rival Duna for being try-hards So I want to know is it possible, a Dust where we all fight each other... Internationally - ONE SERVER Because, fighting the same crap, again and again is just not fun for anyone involved.

And if you think about how Dust mechanics work your question pretty much implies .. Why would you ever want to intentionally deploy into FW ?? Teams there are usually filled regardless of region, leading to epic lag battles/grinds I am aware ONE SERVER is extremely unlikely, and even if it was introduced, would have issues But Compare these to what we have already, would it be much worse?? Deploying FW/PC being able to fight teams around the globe would be epic.. The only way I can see these working is if all servers are under the same strain, meaning it will have to be CCPs primary focus, improving the connections between players internationally..

It had lag, but nowhere near as bad as this, plus almost every match was a mix of European, American and Asian players, based on what you heard from the MIcs. Exactly. Separate regions with such a low playerbase kills the quality of most gameplay .. If we could merge them without lags/crashes/ps3's combusting.. imagine the possibilities !!! We could fight internationally.. the playerbase could grow internationally.. CCP make profit When they advertise 'One Universe//One War' it would not be an exaggeration on the truth.. IT WOULD BE THE CONTENT WE ARE PLAYING. And more would join up 2years and I'm still stupidly optimistic about this games progress... take that CCP!

Like TQ? which is actually more like a server cluster? I get your beef with lag and being able to play against people from all over, just not understanding why it isn't like this already with tDust deployed to TQ already... Right now we have essentially One Universe // One War in FW and PC if you attack another region.. Lags in these games is considerably worse at times. but if something similar to my request was used it would be the main thing that benefits.. international players connecting and killing ... I have had clearer connections in PC vs Nyain San than some of the other EU corps.. So there is no point acting like it's impossible.. we just need it to be CCP's focus. Pubs are a joke.. they ruin the gameplay for any casual mercs gaming here.. an International merge for Public matches would mean more players - faster battle times along with more newbs and vets to fill the new matchmaking quota.. Dust offers a connection to Eve, making it unique in that sense.. If it offered international combat with good connection, we'd have another unique aspect.. Add this with solid re-marketing, and the game could thrive.. IF CCP made the changes.. Bells and whistles on gameplay options will change nothing, an overhaul like this would change THE UNIVERSE I'm that drunk homeless guy who won't leave.. ...Change??

Oh oohh no, disperse, everyone split, we're killing the servers... LOL.. Surveys can confirm, we are doing the player-base a favor if we make the server crash n' burn Light it up mercs!!! But seriously, I want to look at the battle and not cringe to be fighting an American/Asian squad.. NO, I do not want to be left in an even smaller sandbox and be cut off from these players.. WE NEED THE SERVERS TO SUPPORT IT I'm that drunk homeless guy who won't leave.. ...Change??

Compared to what we have already, would it be any better? You're basically saying "Take isolated incidents of people switching servers to fight people in other regions, and make it so that happens ALL THE TIME". How is that in any way an improvement? Because it pushes fixing latency between regions to the top of CCPs workload for Dust.. No new content matters until we have a playerbase that can enjoy it, we are lacking that. I'm not asking CCP to boot us in One server and lock the door.. I am asking they they dedicate to making it viable to increase activity.. Your no fool, I am not demanding anything other than a response from someone who knows what this would take. Possible? Impossible? Shut up, D***?
