Elite touched on this issue a while ago, but I think it needs to be brought up again since he didn't really go into what the inconsistency stems from. Why are some servers labeled NA while still clearly being hosted in the same cities or at least general areas as the normal servers? I get LA ping on some NA ones, Dallas ping on others, and Ashburn ping on the rest, so they're obviously just renamed and possibly running different code. Why hide hosting locations and make it even more difficult for players to get into regions where they have acceptable latency and a relative lack of rubberbanding and dropped shots?

I'm pretty sure they were just renamed from the old servers because the ping spread I can get from them is pretty much the same as the other servers that these at first seemed to replace.

For real. it's gotten to Elephant in the Room status. I don't see why people on the east coast/northeast corridor can't have a better choice to play on than Dallas. New York Servers? Ashburn? DC? Boston?

 

"nahhhhh no one lives in or near any of those places, here's 500 Dallas servers in 16 flavors. Oh, and LA and Oregon servers that (for people not residing near them) might as well be hosted on the moon."

 

It stinks and I don't like it.

 

As said above, the NA servers' pings range from Ashburn levels (25ms) to LA levels (110ms) to Philly, cable modem connection. Hit reg problems sometimes, sometimes not, of course higher ping seems to aggravate hit reg problems.

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