I've had multiple server crashes this week where it happened to all players, not just me. Then the login server would not work. I've seen all the servers in the US disappear and the EU. I had 3 games this week where I could only use 1 of my mechs. It said all the others were "test mechs" and the "test" period was over. Hmm I don't any ANY test mechs. I own all of them. On one acct I have over 30 mechs and could only use one. Lag is still a major problem. I use to play EU no problems. Lot of friends there. Now it is a nightmare. Hitscan is still crap about half the time. Mechs teleporting sometimes. And why is that I can play Chicago and have a ping of 32 or less, but shoot someone with 4 tows and it does zero damage? Not once or twice but 50 times or more this has happened. To be honest. Not happy with servers most the time now. Problem with my machine you say? Hmm no, go read the specs (and pics) of both my machines. Connection? Hmm 105mb down and 12.5 mb up, and zero problems with any of the other 6 online games I play. Some in other countries such as the UK. Gaming online since 94 and I've done 51 beta's now. Played Hawken since Oct of 2012, 1st beta. (NOT June of 2013 as Reloaded records say. Almost a year of my main records gone.) (oh and I'd still like my BETA skin back please. I earned it and had to petition for it in the first place. One of the few who "fell thru the cracks" back then.) sooooo server problems? Yeah.
THIS! Hitreg's still a bad joke on some EU servers. Faster A-classes somehow benefit from that and stay almost indestructible, and it seems some players r damn aware of that fact and abuse it, when they r up 2 loose - they simply refer 2 their Scout or Zerker, when things go wrong. 15 seconds of double-Vulcan hitscan fire didn't do a SINGLE point of damage on a Scout i faced a few hours ago. Instead of that he circled about 36 times around me with supersonic speed, shot some TOW/HEAT-combos onto me and killed me with greatest ease in a splitsecond. Way too fast 2 react on him. I really WANT 2 believe, that the devs will improve the game soon, by developing an update... but will they improve the SERVER performance, too? I hope so. I really do... Besides the omnipresent unbalance, due 2 the small playerbase, the A.class speed advantage on the crappy servers gets worse moa and moa, and even moa... That sucks!
Damn! ... ;)
