Miami Server, good or bad?

ArchSonic · September 2010

Everyones opinion can be used here.

I live in Florida, and to be honest, the server doesn't exactly impress me. It's the first day, and the only people that will usually populate it are the people that live in South America (no surprise). It's no so much their ping, but how rude and ignorant most of them are, and the fact I don't like seeing Spanish text all over the damn chat box.
Sure it helps them, for the average day US player, this server was just for the South Americans. Regardless it was rather nice to see my ping in the high 20s, but I still average like 67 on Alpha, and the difference isn't worth the price of playing with Brazilians and Latins all day.

Server benefits the people that live close to Alpha that want less Brazilians more then anything....

I may as well go on a picture report frenzy later, even though I doubt the GM's would like to scroll through 100 pictures of Spanish text.

...I'd love ping required rooms right now.

It's Portuguese not Spanish.

I love the new server back to my old ping when i first started

Use locked rooms.
Granted they have no reason to stay out of those since people here made it a habit to crash their rooms.

The server will attract a certain user base. That is very much expected, and I can't see anything bad with it.

Good. I get the same exact ping on it as I do on the Canadian ones, so I'm going to enjoy those while all the BR's and such leave.

[MARDIN · September 2010

I live about 2 hours from Miami and this dude lives in Texas. I have 45-48 ping he has 47...wtf?

But yes I like it.

Many actually speak Spanish, I'm not directly talking about Brazilians.

I really hope this server allows these jokes to leave alpha.

How do the GM's hold the rules against foreign language? If I report someone for numerous walls of foreign text, is a one day ban? Or more?

Honestly not impressed, same ping as Canadian server and I live significantly closer to Miami server.

I actually like this question for the simple fact they don't allow anything but English on the forum boards. Yet in game English is the minority.

The miami servers do NOTHING. The BR's are still everywhere and that won't change until they give us ping filters. Seriously you really want to listen to your NA crowd? GIVE US PING FILTERS for the rooms we make this is the 1 and ONLY thing that will ever allow us w/ below 120 ping to enjoy the game together w/o a constant barrage of 300 pingers lagging hackusating, begging for guns and trying to scam accounts. I sometimes wonder if they even listen to what the community as a whole really wants because this idea has been around forever and lets face it things have gotten worse not better. Yeah a miami server WITH ping filters on the servers would be a great addition but as is, I log in today and join in delta NOT ONE PERSON had below a 200 ping and guess what language was being spoken? DING DING DING Portuguese what a shock right?

L0LSmilyFace · September 2010

Instead of making my ping lower, it went higher. Weird. Also Brs still have huge pings. About 170. So yeah..they fail.

FuturistiK · September 2010

This Miami server is bad. I think we would have been putting the server on a raft in the middle of the ocean

oOBeastOo · September 2010

Yeah that sucks for people that live in Florida with all the BR's.

They should make a server in the middle of America lets say more to the east side. ^^

Or any where in the middle of the U.S. NOT TEXAS!

WHOS IN?

They should make a server in new york. Just sayin. But a server in the middle of America would be nice.

I support new york, i'd get like 15-20 ping

but the miami server is meh... like i wouldnt play in it, but atleast it gets rid of some br's and latinos from alpha

L0LSmilyFace · September 2010

Believe me...IMO Texas would of been a way better location. Its good and all, but they just cant do anything right

Hamzanoob · September 2010

..... put a server in Iraq... so terorist can terorize our pings

J0sef · September 2010

make rooms called USA Only and make the pass redwhiteblue/unclesam/antibr

Dm_Z8 · September 2010

I have Att cheapest service ( 70kbs) and I live in oklahoma ( above texas), usa. Anyway , in Alpha, bravo, echo... I got 40-42 ping. But in West Coast and Miami i got 60-70 ping. Just weird.

rCaliberGX · September 2010

Or a server in Hawaii or Bermuda (still in US BTW)

ArchSonic · September 2010

Alright, well I don't know if its because the Miami server is still new and going through tests and what not.

But...

I get 60 ping on Alpha, which I live directly across the whole United States from, neither way I'm rather happy with that. Now I live probably 25-30 miles from Miami and I get about half that? ... how the hell does that work.

Torjap · September 2010

I live in North Carolina and I have the same ping on both servers. Damnit.

Best suggestion ever. Make a thread about that please.

kingmidas23 · September 2010

I'd say it's somewhere in the middle.

Good, because my ping doesn't change which leaves me a new server . And no more Bee Arr's.

Bad: Same pingies, same everything. It's getting dull.

x_Blood · September 2010
