Wakko03 Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 212	Posted - 2013.06.22 09:09:00 - [1] - Quote Simply put, why am I facing a known japanese corp in one match and then another match has me facing the europeans when my server selection is set to North America? ie how come the lag favors everyone else but me? Follow up question, is the player total number next to the X continue to player select screen accurate? IF so is the reason why I am dealing with over-seas server lag because you just don't have the numbers to support the game? On the flip side is this also the reason why I face the same players as enemies over and over again? Since I am too lazy to care at this point and this will get moved/ closed/ deleted or flat out ignored.... what is the point of the LOCAL Chat channel other than to block the majority of the low class trash that hangs out there ... if you think the forums are bad my local has it beat.
Allah's Snackbar Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 254	Posted - 2013.06.22 09:11:00 - [2] - Quote Dodgy matchmaking + small player base. That's about it really.
PonyClause Rex TRAMADOL KNIGHTS 181	Posted - 2013.06.22 09:13:00 - [3] - Quote Sorry but i have to ask, is your sever selection set to automatic ? Derp just seen it you have set it to north america.....
Wakko03 Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 212	Posted - 2013.06.22 09:15:00 - [4] - Quote No worries, it is set to america

Ferren Devarri ARES.inc 23	Posted - 2013.06.22 09:19:00 - [6] - Quote because your setting is a preference, not a lock-in. Playing outside of your timezones prime-time means joining non-NA servers that have populations able to support matches.
Wakko03 Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 212	Posted - 2013.06.22 09:34:00 - [7] - Quote Then the equation they use to make it a fair fight ping-wise is FUBAR. I choose not to play vs someone that is a whole second ahead of me, what are my options? Prime time for me is about the time the server starts to show that it needs a restart.

I hate to say it but if you feel some people are a second ahead of you you may need to take a look at your connection, I am an EU player and if I stay on lateish and play with some of the American's and Canadians in our corp its surprisingly little different from when I am playing on EU servers. Sure I get the occasional game where there is weird shenanigans but its quite rare.
GLiMPSE X IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 169	Posted - 2013.06.22 10:55:00 - [9] - Quote To get a full 1 second latency you'd need to have a 1000ms ping to the server. Not likely, but not impossible.
DJINN leukoplast Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 526	Posted - 2013.06.22 11:13:00 - [10] - Quote All the japs, euros and everybody else have their server settings set to US because we are the most populated region in Dust. Therefore the US servers are filled with lag inducing foreigners. Wish all those turkeys would stay in their own part of town, but as usual they know the US is the best of the best, so they leech off our servers.

Vavilia Lysenko Company of Marcher Lords Amarr Empire 62	Posted - 2013.06.22 11:21:00 - [11] - Quote I am having no issues with lag at all. I am actually pretty surprised at how good the connection is, considering I am playing with random people around the globe. On the other side of the coin, PS2 playing on an EU server is a laggy piece of **** for me.
Banning Hammer Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 15	Posted - 2013.06.22 11:22:00 - [12] - Quote Easy answer is; that is not enough player-base from Europe / Asia, so we all get mix and match during that time zones. Then in the USA time zone, we all end up in USA servers. The irony is ; That CCP is an EU company, the game is being develop in ASIA, and they can't appeal to neither of that communities

I actually have mine set to AUTO because I'm not a racist prick
Sha Kharn Clone Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1199	Posted - 2013.06.22 11:34:00 - [14] - Quote Most mornings until DT a lot of SI set to US servers because its just not fun sitting in games with no one in them.
Shion Typhon Intara Direct Action Caldari State 79	Posted - 2013.06.22 11:42:00 - [15] - Quote I set mine to Oceania and gave up eventually after failing to find/connect to any matches, put it back to Auto and was promptly redelivered to the US server.

Sure I get the occasional game where there is weird shenanigans but its quite rare. Um, did you seriously say it is my connection... thanks for asking the right question, but I am going to take a different approach to the problem and say it is a routing error and the fact that you haven't noticed it yet means you don't know what to look for. (When I load into the WARBARGE I see 1:49 on the clock and nobody else there, I am the first in 7 out of 10 times [on average] followed by a jump to 1:39 and then people start loading in.) TO Clarify CCP this is not a RANT. HAS the internet solved faster than light travel? It is quite easy for a player to be at least a second behind another.... it just depends on the route your connection has to take; Start on the east coast of the US, say you go to the west, to Modesto, California my ping is 80-90ms with a down of 13 and an up of 2; Going east-- To London & Paris it is again 80-90ms ping and 18 down and 2 up; To Italy the ping jumps to 100+ms 10down and 1.8 up; And then to Moscow the ping jumps to 150 4 down and 1.5 up; To Seoul South Korea it is a 250- 270ms ping and a download of 6 and upload of 1.96; To Tokyo, it is 200ms 18down and 2 up (funny how that works); Sydney Australia is 250ms ping with 16up and 2 down. Speedtest doesn't allow you to set the way you are getting there, so the only way to go west is to choose California for me, to get to the rest of the world they have me going the Eastern Way to all points. Now add in a splash of the PSN wonkiness and the pings go higher, might as well add in the fact that the server for dust degrades over the course of the day... or do you think they are doing daily downtime maintenance for fun so that by the halfway mark time wise things are already starting to get wonky with bullets not hitting due to the server itself.
Kiro Justice The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 127	Posted - 2013.06.22 18:18:00 - [17] - Quote Because this game has a playerbase of like...10.

Low player base and the their servers are even less full then ours so they play on ours.

I think thats prime EU time (since thats when I usually see you on)
Medic 1879 Tritan's Onslaught 467	Posted - 2013.06.23 02:23:00 - [20] - Quote I wasn't saying its definitely the TC's connection or that there is no lag I was just saying that going the other way as in set to EU server but playing with a squad of Americans I rarely get these kind of problems I suppose check your connection wasn't the best way to put it but 9/10 these LAG IS TERRIBAD threads you eventually find out the guy is using a usb internet package or something. Not saying you are obviously you know a bit about this kind of stuff but 9/10 check your connection is usually the right answer lol. As a sort of bit of extra information only game where I have had lag so bad I had to quit was against Nyan San so theres the region issue there but it was a PC match so could just be PC match crappiness again.

Syther Shadows The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 158	Posted - 2013.06.23 02:39:00 - [24] - Quote people playing on other servers ~ just cuse there ero does not mean they will play ero server they probs just joined your server for training i know i go to the asia server to fight them ~ and holy **** so many snipers

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 2806	Posted - 2013.06.23 02:44:00 - [26] - Quote It's possible you are facing players who decided to change their battle server settings to access your battle server.

Good to know some of you aren't so interested in shutting yourself off from everyone else in the world for the sake of a tiny bit of lag everyone has to deal with.
Shrapnels The Order 1886 126	Posted - 2013.06.23 03:00:00 - [29] - Quote I wonder what would actually happen if all these Oversea players would play on there actually correct Region. just Killzone 2 and 3, games MP was ruined cause of dipchits not being smart enough to play on there designated server regions. Don't you people think if you played on your proper server the game waiting times would actually be fine and not be long at all?
Greg FREESEr Kirkinen Risk Control Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.06.23 03:04:00 - [30] - Quote 2 examples of what the OP is talking about Issues Solutions Thx

Davey Newcome Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2013.06.23 05:50:00 - [31] - Quote So you can experience teleportation, remember most dont know about server choices.

Just most of us, which is why my 360 never gets turned on anymore. Americans are annoying to try and play online with. On Target, MW. I used to play allot of Ghost Recon multi-player missions on a friends 360. Many a fellow American drove me off online play there. It was a minority of the gaming population but it was enough. In some ways getting into Eve Online was refreshing since it became clear the @sshole syndrome was global and not just a local nationalist thing in the US. If anyone has a chance team up with a Kiwi. With a decade plus experiences whether it be games, IRC, instant message, or phone, every experience has been a good one. Hip-hip-hooray for New Zealand.
