Earlier in War Wednesdays, I left a server to look at the browser and I saw a chicago tdm. I told the rest about it and they were all excited about so much. In in just few minutes the server was full for 4 matches or so.
The hype for chicago servers was real, and even I personally asked for chicago servers as central servers cuz chi town is closer to me than dallas so I thought I'd have better ping.
First, I didn't. Second, others had very bad ping like my bud incitatus who had 130 at times. Many others had better ping. Performance was a bit smoother than dallas.
There also were new jersey servers.
etc ...
Many servers in many locations ...
BUT
The performance still is sub par. Sub par may unfortunately be an understatement.
My conclusion is that the devs must understand that it may really not be about the location or the number of the servers rather than the quality.
I advise you devs to strongly consider cutting the number of servers in half, have only 3 server locations in NA (NY, Chi, LA) and frankfurt in EU and the rest ... I don't know cuz I don't play there.
Dear devs the current playerbase is way too limited for the amount of servers you have online, and is barely hanging onto the game to have to deal with incredibly bad network performance.
One might say that my words are coming from my experience and the poor quality of MY network connection. But I think the problem is universal.
Terrible Hit-reg, rubber banding, lag, traveling, high ping, ping instability ... everyone suffers from this.
We all truly understand that the devs aren't making enough money from anything but keeping things alive. Smart and logical approach. But it can still be pushed to a better position by -like I said- significantly decreasing the number of servers for the sake of improving the quality of the servers.
This may also mean removing regions like Middle East. I'm yet to play a game there cuz I'm yet to see one.
There may be also half dead regions or servers.
If there's a minority of players in a certain region, they should still have a couple of servers. A couple I said. At max 4.
I'd appreciate hearing what capnjosh thinks about my thoughts.
