Seriously just remove most of them so people can play in LA servers or Ashburn servers. Dallas servers are so laggy and ping is awful there for me and other EU players who used to play in USE servers when EU players were too few.

 

A lot of other people also think that dallas servers have the worst connectivity.

I used to have a ping of about 40 to Dallas. It's now about 80. I used to have a ping of around 80 to "West Coast" servers. It's now 120 and the hit registration is almost a coin toss for me over there. Keep the Dallas servers.

My ping has improved in ALL regions but Dallas, including Japan servers and such. Believe it.

 

Because there are a lot of Dallas servers, a lot of other players from other regions like myself can't play there anymore, which is not cool because I really like playing with US players and I have a lot of awesome friends who can't come over and play in EU servers themselves.

 

I really really really think that the region changes and stuff are the worst thing that happened FOR ME second to the ascension patch.

I'm not sure what the issues are but I really hope they fix them soon. I've been getting up to an average of 40 ping on NA East. East. Where I live.

 

Obviously 40 is perfectly manageable but in general the quality has decreased significantly.

This.  Pings are up agross the board and the coin toss analogy is spot on when it comes to the rude hitreg.

I live in Dallas.  It's a coin-toss, even on Dallas servers.

I heard something about how streamers across multiple games were complaining about increased ping this week. That doesn't make sense to me, but maybe it's a thing for us in the US.

 

As far as that last line. I initially thought the merge was a great idea. Nah. Today was the first time since the merge that we've been able to get at least some of the West Coast Crew (you know who you are) together. Like, half server full and we were ecstatic. What I think a good fix would be: leave top level menu the same as current, but allow to select subregion (for NA west, central, or east) for mm.

Yeah, NA should be split for sure. The changes have to be undone. It's really no good.

i live geographically right next to the USE servers (~150mi). ookla netspeed pings at ~12ms, Hawken ingame shows anything from 24 to 48+ms. Before Steam the ping averaged 0 to 12ms (i constantly got asked if i was in Hawken's basement, was i a Dev/bot/worked for ADH, etc).

there were a couple other folks that lived in my area that had similar experiences, and if i'm not incorrect, i'd guess we're using the same AWS servers.

waddup?

:yucky:

Personally, I think that Amazon is up to something weird.  There are a lot of reports of buggy net-code, crazy latency and poor bandwidth across the whole web and most of it relates to data being served up from Amazon servers.

 

This is just me spreading unfounded accusations... but I'd say there's something funny going on through Amazon.  Perhaps they've bitten off more than they can chew, bandwidth vs. traffic wise, and are trying to creatively move traffic around to help mitigate and disguise the issue.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Afaik I thought Reloaded moved off of AWS, so Amazon's issues would have no correlation. I could be wrong though.

Hmm.  I don't know - I missed it if they did.  It would be funny though, because originally Adhesive chose not to use Amazon because they felt they had come up with a way to "do it better".  Then they realized they overlooked something and moved Hawken onto Amazon.  If Reloaded moved it back off... it'd be a pretty comical set of circular events.

As someone who, almost exclusively, yolo-dives at groups of enemies in a raider the hitreg and framedrops in Dallas are brutal.  I feel like I fuzzy bunny about it all the time to people on TS and then feel like a whiny jerk.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

Glad I'm not the only one who hates the Dallas servers for the above mentioned reasons.

Dallas has been weird for me too, 120+ ping where normally is like 50-60.  If I disconnect and rejoin it goes back to normal but hit reg is barf.

The default NA server region should be US-All, but players should be able to change to more specific subregions (or even combination of subregions, e.g. US-E+US-C) with the drop-down list. This would fix a lot of the playerbase fragmentation that we saw with the US-E/US-W split since most people would stick with the default and no one would be forced to pick one specific server location even if they can play fine everywhere.

I need to repost this thread, complete with that image, for the LA servers, seriously.  

 

I have video of ridiculous rubber banding and even me clipping through a wall last night on LA.  Dallas?  Worked fine every time I played it.  Could be routing peculiarities, but from where I'm sitting, please do the exact opposite and bin LA and a**burn.

For me, it's very sporadic. Half the time the servers are fine and half of the time they're not. The one consistency I have noticed is no matter what region or server I'm in when I launch my mech for the FIRST time, my ping is what it was immediately after the first server tweaks were done. Unfortunately my ping steadily rises afterwards upwards of up to 80 ping and stays there. I will randomly have a ping jump of 40+ for no reason at times and when this happens that extra ping is on every server I join. When I have the hit-reg and movement problems these also persist for as long as I continue playing regardless of the region, player count, or game mode.

There is one more thing I need to mention. Of all the servers we have there is only 3 in Oregon and they are just two TDM and I believe one Seige. I get the best ping in Oregon and to have even just one Death Match server so I won't have to gather tons of scarce west players in my skill range to start an enjoyable game. Pretty please?

All my west coast homies get better ping and reg on the east coast servers than dallas, all their pings have basically doubled since the browser change. Dallas private servers aren't any better. Most of the east coast players don't seem to have as many issues routing to the central servers as far as I can tell. Hope this is resolved soon, TPG relies of the central servers having the best hit reg/ping for everyone.
