Any chance there is some hope on the horizon for a decent east coast server?

 

I'm located in NY.

 

The current Ashburns are pinging about 64 on average and are laggy as ....

 

The Dallas servers are averaging about 68 and also are laggy ....

 

When the Ashburn servers first reappeared they were pinging about 38...which is what they were when first showed up at all.

 

All other games I'm playing still ping as normal, and other testing show my connection remains consistent.

 

Why the increase in ping of the Ashburn servers? Any way to fix this?

 

Why can't we get some decent support for the east coast?

I still strongly believe they're not located in ashburn.

Yeah us east coast players are long overdue for some love. Basically my only choice is Ashburn, with its "hey, you might get lucky" 50/50 chance of hits registering. Dallas is really not much better. LA, Oregon, I might as well be playing Tokyo or Australia. Or the moon.

 

There were NY servers, which I found to be really nice. But since no one lives in or around NY, they wisely decided to shut them down and give us servers located in West Bumblephuck instead.

You hear, devs? Any time you want, we're ready to have a playable east coast server.

The Hawken forum's a forum, but it's like the only one you get yelled at for using.

preSteam, i was pinging zero at ashburn. then ~24-48 depending on moon-phase. ookla indicates ping of 20 to ashburn.

ReLoaded's apparent solution?  Take down ALL the east coast servers.

happy now?

Ummmm...now NO east coast servers?...   Ashburn is gone. I see "na" servers...what are these supposed to be?   Really, if it wasn't so sad for us east coast people it would be comical.

those "na" ones are hosted out of Ashburn, but the naming convention hadn't been deployed.

 

I've just launched some additional Ashburn servers as well.

 

Last night, some DDoS mitigation services went in that somehow screwed up outbound communication from the severs that were the Ashburn workhorses, so it's been a rather uncomfortable day fixing it.  Sorry about that.  It's pretty lame.

I spoke too soon and posted before I actually played on the na servers last night. After trying them out (last night), I found I was averaging about a 40+ ping, which was an improvement over the 68+ I was getting on the "ashburn" labeled servers previously. When I was using the first ashburn servers (the original group that rolled-out way back when we lost the ny servers) I was getting a steady 38. So, if the na's are actually in ash, then they are an improvement in terms of service to the northeast. Thank you much for that. We'll take anything we can get. We'll see how things go tonight.

Boston or NY would be great. Still like to see NY servers back if it is ever possible.

I don't see your problem. Are you saying their are fame rate drops, or are you saying that people are teleporting, and Hit-reg is bad?  I only ask because for me I generally only get latter when my ping goes above 150-ish.

Generally, the hit-reg gets worse as the ping goes up. I mainly snipe so it becomes important. My score goes down as my ping goes up. I generally find that anything over 70 is unplayable...or at least...not fun...over 80...forget it. If I was lobbing missiles all day it wouldn't be as important. Ping does not affect frame rate. The teleporting and similar issues tend to occur more at higher pings. When there were NY servers my ping was 18-28....mostly closer to 18. Sniping hit-reg was fantastic...more wins and higher scores. I think there are at least 2 server locations currently on the west coast...LA and Oregon...I forget because I don't use those. It would be nice to have one in the northeast. You really don't want to have to get used to playing any shooter while your ping is over 80, no less over 100. Not sure what weapons you're using, but I can't imagine you're sniping and enjoying it with a ping approaching 150. Anyway, as far as more east coast support I'm sure they're working on it and maybe we'll get something in NY again when funding allows.

When we had the NY servers, they were honestly the best. 10-12 ping with no problems with anything whatsoever. Boston would probably be the same with ping to ashburn for me, distance is roughly the same for me from NJ.

Yeah, I would prefer NY servers...even if we have to pay for them ourselves.

Ya know, some people are complaining about east coast servers not located in the NY, NJ whatever area so as not to be able to get their former 15-20 ping values....But what about us po folks in deep South Flor e da..... Never ever had pings that low, even when the old servers were located in those places. I'm lucky to get 60-70 ping (not that I'm bitching' about that) on a good day on the east coast. Everything else in NA is higher for me to as much as 180 ping on the west coast.

But Hey, the east coast just isn't the NE, it's quite a distance from Maine to Flor e da. Heck I'd like to see what it's like to play on a sub 30 ping someday also.

More servers in more locations is always nice, regardless of where you live.
