If anyone knows the server name format, could they please post it here, so we can have a chance of trying to join servers that are physically closer to our client location? In other words, can someone post the locations of the current servers and their names? (and why in God's name would the devs not do that in the first place?...do they think the players are stupid and won't care?)

 

Second question: Since it's been a numbers of years now, when are we going to get servers in the east...specifically the northeast?

 

This a critical lingering question that has fallen upon the deaf ears of the current devs...

 

As a long-time player (like what?....5-6 years?...I lost track...), my guess is we'll never get any decent server coverage and, if anything, it will continue to get worse....just as it has gotten steadily worse over the years...

 

Thanks for nothing. At least the game costs nothing (even though I suggested many times that most of us would likely pay $50 - $60 for it)...and you get what you pay for...

Feel like doing a little sleuthing?  Download 'Windows Resource Monitor".  If you run it, you'll see a 'Networking' window on the first screen.  UDP connections are listed by process. 

 

For example, I was able to tell Soccu today that our server was in the 'Whois' database as China Telecom (somewhere in mainland China), but the last hop (tracert) was 1ms from Level-3 in LA, so the server was probably actually in LA.

 

 

(edited "Performance Monitor" to read "Resource Monitor")

Did I say Call Me Ishmael?

 

You should call me Luna.

actually, you may have it already if you have Win10.  Under Windows Administrative Tools, Resource Monitor.

There are servers in the Northeast.  NJ, last time I checked.

 

The devs also know about ths desire and I would think they would like to implement it, it's just not..."activated" in a sense regarding whoever is hosting the server and the name that's given.  This is, from what I've heard, unlikely to happen right now.

I think it's been there since win7, I recall using it.

I second this. Even though the server browser and auto match are currently broken.

 

Also, East coast siege severs pls. Ones that don't crash after one match and send everyone back to the garage.

How is auto match broken? Its currently the only option I use and it works very reliably for me.

6:00am with one server open

 

3 stars / 7players

 

Get denied 4 times through browser

 

Try Auto Match

 

Wait patiently

 

Get dumped into empty server

 

Rinse and repeat

 

 

 

Happens to me all the time.

Are you the kind of player who doesnt have the patience to sit in an empty lobby and wait for others to join? 

 

I played FFXI for 10 years. I got used to waiting 30min-2hrs for a party of 6 to gather just for some XP. Maybe im too conditioned to wait...

For TDM yes. Especially if I know that no one is coming.

 

It should let me in the server that's open and has 3 stars, not dump me in an empty one while the other match continues with an odd number of players.

again, patience. I think you're not getting into that server becuase the match is halfway thru.  IIRC, once a server hits a certain point, they tend to not allow more players to join, unless the autobalancing is sensing that the match is lopsided.


I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

Only thing that annoys me with the auto match button is the varying skill levels it places me in (bear in mind I play at roughly the same time of day)

one match I get completely new players levels 3-7 on my team and against and other times I get placed with lvl 30 long time players (which I get beaten like a drum because I'm a fuzzy bunny)

Life is like a good book,

It makes more sense as you get into it ;D

Matchmaking does the best it can. Sometimes its nice to pubstomp a little if the matchmaking lets you.

They've been monkeying around with that thing. Getting put in an empty server is a recent problem, short of getting there just as everyone leaves. Auto match used to put you in a game regardless of mmr or anything else within a certain time frame.
