Have the Ashburn servers been taken out of service?

 

First we lost the NY servers. Now no Ashburn.

 

The East Coast, and especially the northeast, the most populated region in the U.S., could maybe use a server...or 10. Just a suggestion.

 

Now we have to go to the next best choice, which is Chicago....really?

 

For a game that seems to be struggling financially, does taking down the U.S. infrastructure make any sense?

I had noticed that there weren't East coast servers available for the last few days or more- having to play on servers with a ~130-250 ping is... not good. Not good at all.

I'd like to see a return of the separation between east, central and west coast servers when using the server browser. This way, the players and devs can see where the action is at a glance, also they can see where they can reduce unused servers and increase them where they are needed ( crazy idea I know, paying for servers that aren't used & all that is fun you'd think... )- naming servers based the nearest city isn't much help, especially if players from overseas aren't too sure where a city is located exactly ( USA is pretty big... ).

Eu servers are in pretty bad shape as well, some are still there though.

Good riddance, hopefully LA and Kansas City get replaced soon too.

 

The US servers should be consolidated in central US, and then keep some servers east and west for players that need them (merl I got u fam).

So are we getting another east coast servers? Preferably many many many of those? Like a  lot? EU loves the east coast too. Allways good matches there when all the stars on EU are dim.

I don't understand much of what Reloaded is doing, or not doing, but not having sold servers on the east coast is really, really confusing. Do they not think that people live on the east coast? Are they caught up in that Biggie vs Tupac thing still? Does Josh hate the Jets and Giants and the Knicks or something? Or is their position that Kansas City or Chicago is basically the same location as NY or trashburn? (It's not.)

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

The server performance (no matter which location one used) was horrible today. Pings aside, nothing but glitches. Teleporting everywhere, weapons not registering hits, no firing, serious lag and rubberbanding. Didn't matter if it was Chicago or Dallas3, it was unbearable.

 

Now fewer server locations available to play on. I can understand if they are cutting servers due to the current low player pop as a (hopefully) temporary  cost cutting measure until they are in a position to fully move forward, but game play performance today was awful.

I like my 16-20 stable ping on Amsterdam servers without lag.
Frankfurt gives me 34, still somewhat decent.
It's probably because I'm in the Netherlands with 120mb/s.
/lolbraggingisfun

I find it weird how alot of people with sub-80 ping in EU lag.
Some also suffer from twice their previous ping.
As many others have stated before, this started around the time when RLD came in.
I personally haven't seen a response other than "we're working on it".
Is it still being worked on?
Has work on it been stopped?
..It could also just be my memory going down the drain as usual.

Please tell me this means NY is coming back in a big way.  Please tell me that when I get back into playing there will be somewhere I can get a ping under 60 again.  60 isn't too bad, but it's not 40 and it damn sure isn't the 20 I remember.

If my ping gets much above 80-90 on any NA server, the game is usually unplayable for me.
It's in big part due to my own crappy internet I'm forced to use right now, I know.

That said, though, HAWKEN is literally the only multiplayer game where this is a problem for me, or ever has been. Like, seriously the only one.

 

Strangely, I can sometimes play on EU servers with 120-140 ping, and still have a better gameplay experience than I would with most NA servers. What's up with that?

Even with my crappy internet, I remember getting ~20 ping regularly when I first started playing a year ago. That's right, when the game was just floating around on the internet like an abandoned, old wooden ship, that's when I first joined. And the server performance has only gotten worse & worse since then. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Please give some kind of heads up before doing something like this, don't just delete a server center with no mention of it.

I mean there is (used to be??) a weekly update thing right?, that would probably be the proper venue for something like this.

Yeah I had a similar experience today try to use Chicago as a NY or Ashburn substitute.

Yeah I checked the forums when I saw Ashburn was missing for two days, thinking I missed some announcement, but no mention of it there.

I don't understand why server rentals in NY are not an option to resolve the issue of East Coast support (if this is a financial issue). Is this too costly to implement? Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Why?  Immediately, I speculate 'billing dispute' when there is a flat statement such as that.  If that's not the case, then let us know, please?

 

I will say I think my network experience with Hawken has gotten better with the retirement of Ashburn, and I don't know why.  Was the central server moved from Ashburn someplace else?

You'd think they'd have gotten the clue by now that transparency with things like a whole data center being retired is better than leaving people to guess and speculate.

If anyone wants to change their profile pic in protest, I found a pic of what I think is the Ashburn city flag, and I'm basing that off the fact that this flag keeps coming up in my Google image searches for Ashburn (which is in Georgia if you didn't know):

The fact of the matter is that the confederate battle flag pales in comparison to a sign that proudly advertises a fire ant festival.  Just me, but I'm sayin, f that concept 1000 times or as needed.

Well Chicago, which was like 3rd choice when playing from NY...and now common sense would make it 1st choice based on available servers x distance....went from about 50+\- ping way back.....to a new average of about 100...   Dallas (4th choice) is about 70...I think I'm done offering feedback and complaining about servers, etc. I've never had these kinds of issues with any game really and this is way too much work...and not enjoyable anymore. Feedback seems to fall on deaf ears.....or onto people who are not really making the decisions in the company. This is a great game, and that's why we have so many people taking the time to give feedback or complain about service....but it just gets steadily worse. So I'm out for now, and will check back to see if anything changes....Moving to Mechwarrior Online or maybe back to Eve. Later all!
