AFAIK I was the only NA player. These are the kind of pings you deal with on Asia servers regularly. Obviously this is less of a problem in other regions, but if there was some way to consider average ping to a specific server location that might be a good idea.

 

Just a thought, probably wouldn't work well implemented. Higher population is the real solution.

cross region always lag

 

while in asia, you still lag even in a same region

yea Regions wil always be that way. A better example would be coasts, NA. You get high ping in Asia no questions, but if your an east coast player/Central player you get almost as high ping going West coast for example..IN THE SAME REGION. North America,

Oceania servers are dead. If anything, that's more of a problem (for everyone else)

Whenever Reloaded gets around to publishing a client update, they could always do what other game devs have done: Allow the player to set a max preferred / allowed ping to a server in the game options.

 

For the server browser, adding a sort-able "ping" column to the server list would be nice too, kind of like what server browsers in games had back in the late 90's.

That's a good idea, indeed


.

The difference between theory and practice is smaller in theory than it is in practice.
