If you had the option to pick between EC and WC would the ping still matter?

i imagine so, but end result would be the same(a hit on your screen is a hit) things like killing people around corners are unavoidable, id ithink SOE's code to be much more reliable than BF's though, that thing is a mess of problems.

I will insert the word FREEDOM randomly throughout all these sentences to appeal to your greatest weakness. FREEDOM is good for all. You can never have enough FREEDOM. More server locations means more FREEDOM. Fewer server locations means less FREEDOM, which is bad because FREEDOM is good.

See, it's in the interest of everyone who values FREEDOM. Such as yourself, or any other hard-working, decent, Godfearing American/European/Australian citizen that donates money to charity/volunteer organizations.

This game is going to have much more players than Planetside 1, because it's FREE (as in FREEDOM). All these FREEDOM loving people would be better off and more willing to pay if they could play on lag-free(dom) servers. It's not just about the Euro's or the Aussie's, FREEDOM is for everyone.

I'm loling IRL right now.

They actually have some beefy new servers, but the only way to cool them is to have the servers located in Antarctica. All of them.

Everyone gets 500 ping.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't favor anyone.

People keep saying "Oh the guy can kill me before I can even see him." But the fact is, it runs BOTH ways.

If you run around the corner and find a higher ping player, you'll shoot him before he can see you.

If a high ping player runs around the corner and finds you, he'll shoot you before you can see him.

All I can say is, "Stop whinging, it's exactly the same for you both."

Yea, no situation ever favours the people with high pings, that just a typical terabad excuse for being bad. all CSHD/SSHP does is make for a more level playing field, its still about as level as cotton candy though.

Right enough about you yankees where are the EU servers based?

Kran De Loy · 2012-06-13, 08:06 AM

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ping won't be an issue if they make a server on both the west coast NA and the east coast NA. However ping will always be an issue if they have only one server cluster, no matter where they put it.

Most likely yes. Though they were still pondering about that I think. Could be Amsterdam again.
