AUS/Oceania servers

[Charnel]

Any official word on these coming yet? Or still a "maybe one day" deal?

No, he means Australian servers. Very few people want to play on foreign servers and deal with lag.

Exactly..especially not in a FPS game

Thanks for the heads up, was about to buy. Glad I didn't waste my money.

It's actually not a waste.

I'm in Perth hills, Western Australia. I connect via Telstra 4G wireless. No line of sight to tower, through trees and over hills, limited congestion and no NBN (Fiber-to-the-curb if I want that). And it is very playable.

It's not as good as Firefail was. Their client side prediction was arguably better, and it helped that their bugs mostly moved slower. But it ain't far off, and that game had a solid Aussie contingent. West coast US servers in both cases.

Some things are going to suck. Revives at the last second are touch and go. Building is OK, but repairing is crap. I am finding work around's to that one though. That I can repair sooner with my gun at an angle to the item I want to repair rather than face on suggests it's less of a network issue than otherwise initially apparent.

I've had games where I am the highest scoring player in the top scoring squad (not bad for what is likely a 200 ms ping) and games where I am a just another player in the lowest scoring squad, but we rarely suffer defeat and the game is mostly enjoyable.

Mostly playing AAS on normal to develop a class. and switching to Hard once I hit 20 and have all options. I'm staying away from ARC right now until it develops more.

Admittedly, the rocket launchers are something of a crutch for game play as it stands. And downing bugs appears to take longer with a higher ping, which it shouldn't.

But I still wouldn't call it a waste.

By all means, come back later, and pay full price after release.

Play the Game, it's Labelled as "Early Access", its a bet, Maybe the game will go on, I think it will, cause of Co-Op Game-play, Story-line ... This is year 52 using PC's for me, So let me tell you I know Slow & LAG, I have been playing "online" games before there was a Internet .. This is NO M.U.D, it has some purpose to mindless violence, means it will sell in USA, So I think the rest of us will get updates & Overseas Servers later, as American use grows, they will need more just to cover audience there...

P.S. illicit If you did not buy game, how did you post on this forum ?

You don't need to buy a game to post on the forum

No my first machine didn't true, but it only had 2k ram, but BBS Games existed for Modem Equipped Home computers, my Earliest 300 Baud 8Bit Card Modem, is still here, I also used a Vic 20 then C64 for such matters.. So maybe not 52 years of Gaming, just 52 years of dealing with the issues, & getting on with it, instead of whinging, while Gaming ..

Who cares how old you are or how long PCs have been out. This thread is about Australian servers, which has nothing to do with the OS of your client machine.

Summer sale has just hit, I was chasing an update on if there has been a change regarding servers. Main question - any Aussie servers yet? Secondary question. Usually games just let people provision their own servers on whatever hosting service they are willing to pay for. So I'm wondering if the community is just too small for anyone to bother to do that, or if it's literally an early access thing where the only servers are being hosted within the developer/publisher's controlled environment?

Yes I can confirm there are Australian servers they were added to the game in the most recent update. The game is noticeably better id recommend buying it as its on sale.
