can we get a dev response on OCEANIC servers ETA?

[Wakkytabbaky]

a dev responce for the eta on oceanic servers would be great as you are just killing any interest in this game from oceanic people as time goes on

They were asked this on a livestream 2 days ago and they said OCE servers were not in the foreseeable pipeline due to overall lower playercounts from that region and needing to prioritize stabilizing their current servers.

well if thats the case then ive lost interest in the game as not playing with 200+ ping just for majority english speaking and SEA may have low ping but its 80% non english and bad timezone matchups

one dev response on a review states they were working on getting them going and this was from 11th july, guess they backtracked on that.

once again another game thinks that there isnt enough player base for 2-4 servers and prioritise other regions. theres not enough "player base" because you dont have the servers running and no oceanic people are playing because of that.

not hard to spin up 2-4 servers and even if they take a loss then you reduce the servers later

I thought this was a premium game but when it turned out it was an online only live service game it was a bit of a bummer, the no OCE servers make it not worth the try.

They did reiterate (many times that stream) that player feedback is always important and things may/may not change based on the feedback they recieve. Maybe if there are enough OCE players that make a splash they'll look to moving that up the priority list.

yea however by the time they do get it going oce people will have lost interest and at that point its to late.

all game devs need to understand if they want a game to succeed in each region they needa drop at least 1 server there to begin with and just take the loss of 1 server if it dont perform well for that game.

i currently play on the asia servers with 100 ping from Adelaide and the player population is mostly english.
i dont know what else you want from them then a single server with no one on it in australia

pings fine but unless you randomly pick the one SEA server that has a bunch of english speaking people on it you are shafted, i came in late and joined sea pvp 04 and theres little to no english speakers on that one. giving up cos i aint gonna do the tutorial 20 times to find the mostly english speaking server and have to restart all over again. if you can skip the tutorial might be easier but thats still not the point

shouldnt have to do that anyway since australia is not part of SEA they should have just opened servers to begin with.

if there was a Oceanic region and 1-2 oceanic server on it to begin with then thats where all the oceanic people would be. even if some SEA people speak english timezones are off. wouldnt matter so much for pve

oh wow - i guess phuk me then

and yes - i know how easy it is to host servers in Australia - i do it for a job

im playing on SEA and im from NZ, i had no issues with the 140ping but yesterday during the pvp event i noticed considerable lag and not hitting people. thats where the issue of ping was glaringly apparent to me - on PVE content only sure its not a big thing, but any PVP event you will probably experience lag and can't hit people that accurately theres lag stutter
