You play on TQ which is in London afaik, and it's there all day everyday

You already planing to segregate people by control type.... you may also go all the way, and segregate players by regions too.

Once i start playing battles in USA servers in the evening, the packet loss is ridiculous and i can't hit nothing. You should let people " CHOOSE ", if the want to play in servers in their own region or not.

You think KB/M is an unfair advantage ? I think playing i other region servers, is an unfair advantage for players from that region.

Next on the list:

- Segregate players by left/right handed.
- Segregate players by age.

I honestly thought this post was sarcasm at first. I play with people from all over the world and have hardly had any lag. Might be time to look at your connection instead of making ridiculous requests.

As others have pointed out the battles themselves take place on what we call Battle Servers which are placed all around the world. These servers are where the actual shooting people in the face part of DUST takes place.

For the instant battles that involve matchmaking we do try and put you on a server that is best for you and will continue to do that. This gets REALLY tricky when we start doing corporation battles. What we are adding in the next release, thanks to the supreme efforts of CCP Nullabor, is a quality graphic so that when looking at battles in the battle finder you get an idea of what your connection speed to the battle is. There are plenty of other changes coming as well to help with this, and we won't force people to fight in any specific region. We are not locking this, we are just trying to provide tools and options so that you guys get the best play experience possible. :)

Research. It's not that hard.

If you bother to read the link, you will see that CCP it's going to give you the option to choose whether or not you want to play against players with controllers or keyboards. Not force you to play with players who use your controller type.

People need to use the search function for once.

You mean the topic where i posted about 6 times?.... no thanks, i don't need the search option for that.

So you admit to spewing half truths to other players while misleading players with your original post?

segregating by region is so lame in games these days...This idea specifically is what ruined the community in games like Armored Core 5. Would have had such a better long life if we were connected to the JP players. I'd rather play with a bit of lag and deal with it than ALWAYS play the same smaller group of people.

@panther

The context of which you used for the word 'choose' suggest that CCP will not give us the choice. But CCP has already mentioned and confirmed that they will give us choice. The point of your OP is thus moot.

Ok... i can see you don't getting this... let my explain ;

If you are giving the "choice" to play in server with very good ping, and a control input that you like, will you self-segregate you self or not ?

Will you put you self in a "disadvantage", so can carry on playing with you corp mates ?

Or to put it in another way ;

How much freedom, is to much freedom ?

We have battle servers all over the world and our matchmaking and battle systems will try to put everyone on hardware with the best latency for the players involved. We are however not implementing any rules that say you cannot play with players in different regions which is different from other games with regional shards.

This is particularly important for corporation battles or any battle where the outcome is responsible for changing the state of New Eden. We are working on multiple optimizations and tools for the players to help make this the best experience it can be, despite the limitations of :physics: (we are working on that too, not as much luck there. Damn Newton).
