Number of servers - Page 2

Yea... I think we'll just stick to calling them servers.

PlanetSide 2 wont be using a global single server, not in a ping dependant game.

it might work currently, but its mega gay and they will lose money because of it: Aka my money, because im not paying to play a game where i ping 280 to it.

yea you're right...for PS2 i would pay...PS1 no.

though i dunno how long i would pay for, playing on Emerald is seriously retarded with 280ping, while i know the server is a POS compared to markov playing with that higher ping sucks. I can never land a killing blwo in a zerg because no doubt somebody's packet gets there before mine, even slapping people in the face with a jackhammer, somebody else gets the KB...

PS2 would suck moreso since the TTK is going to be lower.

I feel sorry for you Australians, you really get shafted with a lot of things. Horrible connections, censored games, censored internet? If I heard right, and every fucking creature is capable of killing you. If I were you I'd leave that hell hole and then be the neat friend in the group with the Australian accent. Sure, you'd have to put up with a bunch of kangaroo questions, but I think it would be well worth it in the end.

umm no censored internet...dont know iv not tried to access any child pron for awhile now...
the connection is slow yea, but thats really only by distance, its 150ms across the pacific, not much you can do about that other than prey for a plate shift to move us 10000km closer to America.

yea, animals can be deadly if you live in the north or desert, but in the citys...yea we dont ride kanagroos...mate.

but on the plus side our economy is not in ruins...yet.

the internet can be good depending on where you live, hopefully i can switch to fibre or microwave when i move closer to my work next year, or just move into work... this connection pings about 150-160 to san jose, its literally plugged into the backbone, no shit our ISPs unit is nextdoor...there's a cable drilled through the wall....

OH NOM NOMNOM!

not sure how the microwave service they offer goes though.

allthough im new to planetside community (havent played planetside before but i would like to), its gd to see im not the only australian tht is excited about PS2

bf3 is starting to piss me off anyways lol (also have you seen bf3's hit detection, its more shithouse than bc2 in my opinion).

yea iv played on american servers before in fps games and i can handle around 250ms when playin it doesn't bother me too much. lol at singapore servers those are shithouse never use any asian servers ever they always suck. we should be gd Exile as long as they dont fuk up the netcode and keep it away from being one massive server, we should be able to kick some gd old ass, AUSSIE STYLE!!!

haha on a side note, I heard stories that some americans actually believe that we ride kangaroos to school and keep them as pets lolol, when in fact I only ever see them in a place north of Melbourne called Kangaroo Ground (lol ironic hey), also theres wallabies which are smaller versions of kangaroos, FYI.

NC4LIFE (atm)

lol well yea dices netcode is always questionable. but i think SOE does pretty well at compensating the ping retarded, I did quite well when i play on Markov with 180-220ping

Americans might say otherwise, but i think planetsides netcode is pretty good...despite the hackers...but tbh i would rather play with hackers than shitty netcode...atleast ill be able to hit them....
In theory SOE will use the same system as BF3, though i dont know the specifics of it, hit detection is done on the client then theres some sanity checking on the server or something i think. but i hit on your screen should be hit(from what i understand from higbys posts)

gonna be so great killing Americans around corners on their screens though, hate tells are insured, cant wait!

Dang, no wonder... Gotta upgrade my Internet connection.

Vash02 · 2011-12-05, 04:22 AM

I can only wait and hope that BT chooses my town to install fibre optics for next year. 300mbs ooohhhhhhhh yeaahhhhhhh.

I'm in Hawaii, anyone else get ~200 ping to Gemini?

TigerClaw · 2011-12-05, 04:43 AM

this is from my work, (being IT we plug straight in to the core

, although we still go through the proxy (bypassed with whitelists))

dam, would have thought you would have gotten better than that.

I think a single server "EVE style" would be a completely retarded idea for a game like PS2. I can't belive someone would actually think it would be a good idea, that's how bad idea it is

But yea, at least every continent pretty much needs its own server (not sure about Asia, many game devs dont bother cos its more expensive or something?). Probably several servers will be needed per cont. Usually game devs say that they rather merge later than realize at launch that hey, we can only get half of our potential customers to play at the moment, and it can take a good while before you manage to put a new server up and running if you weren't prepared.

Also, if there really is no box cost (I'd hope at least 5€ activation cost or something to slow chronic cheaters) and f2p, the game will have WAY more concurrent users at launch than PS with its box cost, new genre and subscription. While the marketing has been nonexistant this time around too, internet and social media has improved so much since Planetside was launched that a lot more people have probably already heard about PS2 than ever heard about PS.

the9 is publishing planetside in china and possibly other Asian countries i guess.
