Is anyone else finding them to perform far worse than the rest of the servers? A few days ago I had a consistent ping of 150 to two that I tried, and today I had 70-90 but timed projectiles using my phone's stopwatch as appearing 0.15-0.25 seconds after clicking for random stretches of 15-30 seconds. Rubberbanding and explosives doing no damage are also both common for me. I haven't had problems anywhere else lately except LA where my ping is always 120-130, and nothing was using my bandwidth or causing any sort of network congestion on either occasion.

In NA there only should be LA servers (west), Chicago servers (central), Atlanta servers (east) and Ashburn servers (east also).

Why should the servers be limited to just those 4 regions when the majority of players are in NA ? ....other than financial concerns.

Because there are way too many unused servers. Also if you live in ... say ... phoenix ... it wouldn't hurt you if you play in dallas or LA. You'll be just fine.

 

Why waste money and split this small playerbase even more?

Yeah right ...

I agree that you make a good point about unused server locations, so why not move them to other locations that need them. But I think the reason for that is they are trying to find as many stable areas where servers can be used now or in the future. And I would hope that includes other regions including Africa where you are. 

 

But NA alone is a very large area with a good portion of the player base residing there. I don't see just 4 regions for server locations being able to offer decent stable pings to everyone playing across the country.

 

I for one was overjoyed when they placed one in Atlanta. I was able to get the best performance in terms of lower ping rate to date. And I do understand that other areas, such as where you are, Australia, SA, SE Asia, EU need more and better stable server locations. But I think this is what they are trying to sort out within their  budget.

 

I would love to see, down the road,  thousands of players online daily with avg very stable pings in the 20-30's consistently.  That would be awesome !

Chicago servers are unusable for me, I might as well be in Ashburn or Newark --all equally suck ass, with all the issues jeff mentions. The worst is when I'm using sustained fire weapons and every 3rd time I try to fire I'm holding down the button and no bullets fall from my hose. Very hard to water the naughty flowers if my nozzle keeps clogging.

So stop talking fuzzy bunny on the only good servers in na; la, phoenix, and Dallas are the best servers (for me) in that order, in hawken.

Comic. You're a smart guy. You do know that Liberia was founded with the support of the US, right? As a place to send freed slaves?

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

Phoenix is actually pretty stable at 70-80 for me.

 

Assburn, Chicago, and Newark have been giving me 110+ ping for the first round or two, and then it drops to 40-50ish.  Dallas has been pretty solid at 50-60 ping. 

 

ALL of the servers get mushy from time to time though.  By mushy I mean movement gets bouncy and rubber-banding and weapons either don't fire or fire after I had time to dodge and boost.  Like what Jeff and phed are describing...

Phoenix works for me.  88-106 ping and it behaves as such ping should

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

Phoenix works fine for me. Then again, I'm a west player, and no west server has ever given me issues.

I don't know if that chart is working properly still. It uses a bunch of hacks to parse the data (uses a really inflexable graphing tool) and I haven't gotten around to finishing my update to fix it. About the only line there that is truly correct is the blue one, and the US ones are most likely to be wrong.

It seems all the servers ping much higher than I would expect by their location nowadays.

 

I live in Phoenix yet consistently  ping 44-55ms in the Phoenix servers. By comparison I ping LA servers 30-40s and it's 370 miles away. How can I ping LA quicker?

 

I normally ping LA and Irvine servers at 15-20ms. I get low pings in the Phx area and it should be more like 3-5ms maybe 10.

No, it was purely the fake flag.  I know/knew nothing about Liberia and I intend to remain ignorant because it's funnier to think they just think our flag is cool.

Deliberate ignorance to maintain a humorous perspective. I'm such a history nerd.
