I like the region based structure, however I have noticed that in the Asia-Pacific region there are 3 "countries" presented:

 

* Australia (in particular Sydney)

* Singapore

* Japan (in particular Tokyo)

 

I on average will get anywhere from 50-80 ping in Sydney and Singapore depending on which night I play.  Occasionally Singapore will fluctuate upwards of a 110ms ping, however anytime I connect to Tokyo servers my ping is north of 250ms (typically above 300).  I assume the balance goes to the best play-ability server, but if there are no games in Sydney/Singapore that's a problem.  

 

Also I have  noticed that there are no longer any Death Match servers for Sydney.  I suspect this is because most people in Asia-Pacific only tend to play TDM.  It's hard to find a game of Siege most nights and MA sometimes happens.  Is there a DM coming back to Sydney?  

 

Definitely found more DM in Tokyo as opposed to the other regions.

This is definitely a problem. Having probably the best internet in Sydney I have 8-12ms to Sydney servers and 104ms to Singapore; then 200ms to Tokyo.

I notice most Japanese players ping about 130ms to Sydney conversely.

There's just too great a spread in the region that's covering two hemispheres

The problem with the DM still hasn't been solved even after my massive rant on one thread where I was disrespectful but honest about how I felt. I still feel this way, but I don't want anyone to think I hate the new devs or something because when I made the thread I thought the devs purposefully took out the AU servers which I was quickly corrected by Captn Josh himself. But we still need at least one DM server. Australia should not have to rely on the kindheartedness of Kuroken and Hawkeye to use thier own private servers to start a Deathmatch server.

 

That aside, this has already been discussed about already in this thread here: https://community.pl...r-do-something/

 

I'm still afraid that the Australian population may not be enough to support ourselves if this change was to happen, but considering how easy it is to get into matches at around the evenings, I think that we having a fair chance.

Hey Malfoy, yes, regions.

 

Yes, lots of Japanese and Asian players.

 

But you can always ask the private server owners to put on DM if you want

Lioot, we should not need to ask either of them to start a DM for Australia. That's the game's job and not for the people who paid a good deal of money to own their own servers.

Merging Singapore, Japan and Australia into a single Asia-Oceania region was a silly move. Now we get the matchmaker putting people from different countries into servers that aren't located where they are, leading to people going in servers that would give them high latency (due to not being in their actual region) and being left out of the servers they should be in that would give them less latency (due to being in their actual region). Unless you use the manual server browser this is what usually happens.

As long as there are regular servers running again I don't mind. You can check which servers (region wise) are in use with the server browser before letting the matchmaker search for you and it gives the impression that the region is more active to new players which has been an issue basically since launch day. 

Obviously it isn't perfect but after seeing the Oceanic servers die multiple times, this seems like not so bad an option right now.

Dayum wen that profile pic tho... OK ima stop staring XD ... *resisting the urge*

Yeah... Is it possible to reduce ping without changing the physical location of servers or anything like wires and all them infrastructures and all?

It would be great if we could but I doubt that its possible... Tho asking anyways...

*still suppressing the urge* XD lil
