Edit: Ever had a time when you do something, and then you realise that you are completely and utterly wrong? :lol:  Well, I was just told that the AU servers just came back. That message only came after I posted this topic and the page refreshed. So the AU servers and up and this rant is not true - well, most of it is not true!

I'm not sure what I expect by ranting about this game and expecting anything in return, maybe to gain some sympathy or to showcase problems with high ping/in Australia have to deal with (yes, it's one of these) - I don't know, but all I do know is that I know that there are people that are in a worse situation than me (such as Elite) and that this rant may annoy people that are in this situation and for that I will apoligise for in advance. I guess that I am a spoilt brat, so please bare with me.

But PLEASE devs GIVE US SOME SIGN FOR THE REASON YOU TOOK DOWN THE AU SERVERS!?!! OF ALL THE SERVERS, WHY AUSTRALIA!!?! WE'RE A FREAKING ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!

What do you expect us to do? Connect to Singapore which gives us the same amount of ping as US-West (which has become a great deal more dead since it was taken down)!? The only place left is US-East which is ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!! Other than that, there is Europe, where I'm getting 400 ping instead of my usual 350 ping on US-West - please explain that.

Yes, I am tired of being quiet and trying to remain positive because, frankly, give me a legitimate reason for the AU servers being down for so long and they are about to release a giant patch which would change the game? Why the heck would they take down an entire server before they release a patch?

I...I was being taught how to Raider with Weezl3 yesterday and I learnt a few great things about the Raider and a strategy that would help (thanks for that Weezl3), but if I even think to use the Raider, I could expect a very, very poor score. At the time when I was trying the strategy with Weezl3, it was fun and my excuse "I blame my lag" as a joke. But now....I cannot exceed the 1850 MMR mark because to be blunt, there is only two - possibly three - specific weaponed mechs which is lag friendly. Seeker Rocketeer, EOC Predator, and possibly REV-Grenadier. I don't want to switch out my Breacher with my Pred, and I'm getting used to Grenadier. But the Seeker Rocketeer...I can't get any better at that. I've TRIED to go against high-tier players with it and it just doesn't work!!! People are so good at the game that they know when to dodge at the right time - even if I shoot it from behind them.


I think I've calmed down from that orginal...outrage. I'm sorry about the rant, I know people must get so annoyed at hearing them, and please feel free to get angry at me for ranting about it. I want people to get a few things out of this:
  • Devs, if you are planning on keeping your AU players, I would highly recommend you get that server up and running before you release any patch/update.
  • Devs, what is up the varying connections? Why is it 250 ping for me in Singapore (the place very close to AU) and 250 ping in US-West.
  • Players, please tell me why they would take down the AU server if they were to release a giant patch and/or move to the Unreal Engine 4?
  • High-tier players - GET WORSE AT THE GAME!!! (that was a joke :lol: )
  • Players - what happened to everyone who used to play in US-West, I'm getting 100 more ping playing in US-East because there is no one in US-West. Please consider moving to the US-West if you can, if not for yourself then for others.
Again, sorry about the rant but...well, I feel that it needed to be said in some form.
