No available servers in the browser. MM puts me in 150 ping 24 man servers.

First, even 6v6 sucks on some maps. It gets really crowded. I sure as fuzzy bunny don't want to be playing 24 man TDM. Second, I have 150 ping to LA servers? Why? That's a slow connection, and shooting things point blank often doesn't take. 

 

This happens often. Add max ping filters. Add filters.

 

Add filters.

 

I can barely play the game right now.

In the olden days, a man could choose US West or East in order to make sure people got placed in a match that kept their ping to an acceptable level. Now the new Hawken government instead thinks its ok to match anyone anywhere on a continent and also pool every available player in giant 24 person servers instead of making smaller servers of better quality and quantity.

 

I always use the server browser since that change to stay in west coast games and if everyone is dog piled in a 24/clusterf.. I just join an empty server and go make a sandwich while I wait for players. 

 

I have commented on these forums before that I like the large servers for their situational conditioning, but lately all I see are giant full servers and lots of empty rooms around them. :( 

 

If im going into the MM queue, at least let me choose what kind of server to join. I get to choose what game type, why not server type as well? 

 

Making it easier, if MM queue was only 6v6 and 24-man servers were only for private servers not in the queue, that would be neato.

Joining an empty server and waiting is a good suggestion. Better than sticking out a 15 minute game on LA.

LA servers are probably almost as bad as living in LA.

i think its stress testing, the devs prolly know that despite the population sliding to the big matches that its only cause people want to move with the crowd and ends up like how everyone had to migrate to east coast to get a game, hawken didnt say hey, east coast is most popular so lets junk all other servers, this situation may be no different

150 ping. I weep deeply for this. I know all too well how difficult it is to play at such EXTREME numbers of latency. Oh to have to move the crosshairs but a few millimeters ahead of your opponent to be able to hit! 90% of weapons are rendered completely unusable when aiming directly at an opponent! No but seriously, up to 170 ping is very playable but certainly not optimal. I suggest grabbing something or anything really with a tow and go to town. If that doesn't work retreat kite. When opponents give chase they leave the longest openings for you to attack to punish them. As long as you stay out of LOS for the most part you can predict people to death at 250 ping, but it takes practice. That and a splash weapon or something with a reliably linear path and preferably high burst or dps

Ok, for real, don't even try this. 150 ping is ass. Just because you can play with it doesn't mean it's enjoyable.
