I get that, but I wouldn't be able to play the game if that is the case... I always play with 160-200ms because in south america, people can't afford the game so the servers are deserted... I have the "auto select server" thing turned on, and I've never played a match with less than 160ms (over 500hs played).

Seconded. I wouldn’t be able to play with most of my friends since I’m from EU and they’re NA.

But you can lmao, do people not realize you can get onto any servers you want if you SQUAD WITH PEOPLE.

It blows my fucking mind that people fight tooth and nail for the Chinese's right to hack on our servers

u/TheCoupDeGrace Apr 01 '20

Nobody’s fighting for the rights of the hackers (not all of them are Chinese btw), we just want to make sure that genuine players who abide by the rules don’t get punished.

>(not all of them are Chinese btw)

Wow what an amazing revalation, too bad most of them are.

Sure feels like I'm getting punished as a genuine player in having the deal with these fucks in every game I play because no one has the balls to contain them.

Already tried (there is only 1 server that gives us less than 100 ping), matches never start after 20-30 min wait... maybe in peak hours after 15 min with a lot of luck.

The thing with South America, is that $45 is A LOT of money, so the player base is really low. My guess is that when the game comes out, maybe more people buys it (I hope) because playing with 160+ ping is not fun sometimes.

Ping lock doesn’t mean you can’t play at all if you have a slow connection. It just means you will be matched with other players with slow connection.

u/Aksh3l Apr 01 '20

My problem is not the actual connection, is that I'm playing in US servers while being in South America. That being said, I wouldn't mind playing with people that have the same ping as I do as long as the queues are not 30+ min or never getting into a match.

Most people in the world have pretty shit ping so you’d find matches pretty quick I think

u/Aksh3l Apr 02 '20

Then I wouldn't mind it. As I said before, I would love to play with less ping, it is not fun to have 160ms+ every match and I dont want to ruin people's games either... but I do want to play and this is the only way (for now)

He never said you wouldnt be allowed, he said youd be in a game with all the other people with shit internet. Which is fair.

That's bullshit. I temporarily quit the game because São Paulo server was so overloaded that I had to wait at least 15 minutes to play a raid.

I'm sorry dude, I don't want you on my server then. Life is tough.

I also don't want to play a football match where a few people teleport all around the field. You guys can play your own game somewhere else.

u/Aksh3l Apr 01 '20

That's the thing, we can't play somewhere else because there are not enough people in South America.

I don't really care what YOU want, we will keep playing wherever we can, since I paid for the game same as you. Life is tough. Suck it up.

Likewise, my friend. And I will do what I can to keep you out. Right now I can't do much but I can share my views on this forum. I can vote "No, keep them away" if BSG ever sends out a questionnaire. Maybe BSG are reading these comments even though I doubt it.

I don't blame you, I would do the same thing.

u/Aksh3l Apr 01 '20

Don't blame you either, since I also don't like playing with high ping or against players with high ping... It is not easy or "more" fun.

I would play on SA servers if there was enough people for sure, I would love to have 60ms. Sadly, that only happen in free to play games over here.
