UK5 was a lower populated server, for no particular reason and was a good opportunity to try this out.
Ever thought of that it was lower populated cz there arent enought uk people to fill uk1-5 ? Besides that i remember having problems in uk 5 while playing, prolly they still have it at the back of their minds.[GM]Saidin wrote: »If you are from the UK. Why would you want a server located at a higher ping than you.
We have a very large contingent of players in the GMT timezone. Including the UK.
This was not implemented on a whim. We have pages and pages and endless amounts of trends and data and charts and graphs. We're sorry you don't have access to that, but that is just business.
But still in the first instance its cf na(/uk). But its suprising, as the earlier gp+ and rank requierment setting were put on na servers and cause the uk servers just exist for 1 year or a bit more. -
I think that they put up this thing for
A) To test out a way to have a higher-ranking server only, but starting out small
A1) Maybe SFC is the most populated rank, and decided to start there, it ain't that far from 2nd LT anyways, besides the little rank-ups, its only 2 ranks away.
To try and get higher ranking players from all the other servers that are basically stressed 24/7 (aka Alpha and Bravo, idk about UK1 or whatnot) to help distribute the amount of players per server evenly.
And just because it's located in the UK won't stop me from playing in it (NA player). Probably will poke around in there today (in the morning after class) -
Those little 2 ranks are what separate rackers from legit players. Most 2nd LT or above rank players are legit. Most SFC rank players and below aren't.I think that they put up this thing for

Why would an NA player go to a UK server where there ping is higher and they have the dis-advantage. -

I remember having problems like the score displays won't show up on this server (months ago). The German community for example thinks that you will most likely don't get any Exp when you play there. Every bigger German clan heard this rumor yet. Since there were always alternatives nobody complained about these "problems". I am not sure if these problems persist or not.Could someone please be more specific about these apparent server issues with UK 5?
What happens, when does it happen?

Oh...I remember having problems like the score displays won't show up on this server (months ago). The German community for example thinks that you will most likely don't get any Exp when you play there. Every bigger German clan heard this rumor yet. Since there were always alternatives nobody complained about these "problems". I am not sure if these problems persist or not.
Guess we should've tried it on UK2 and made UK5 a rookie server. ;< -
Can't understand you guys, you wanted a high level requirement for a server, and now that you could enjoy a game with less rookies/"alt-account cheaters" you don't make its proper use.
I know that you've asked for a Second Lieutenant - Only server, but this is an experiment. If this turns out to be a success the rank requirement may be changed to Lt. Though if nobody plays in there but a few dozens of players then the rank requirement will be reversed again to Trainee.
Just a little heads-up.
staff sergeant isn't high, that is the problem. -

It's called a test.
If people actually use it, you'd have a very high chance of getting a higher level requirement server.
But since no one is using it, it's not really giving much reason to put a higher level one in. -

I also remember every 2nd room crashing ( but that was hmm idk few month ago, now its all fine), but people still have it in mind.
Remember the majority here are kids. And its like once problems always problems. -

I don't get what you're seeing. UK5 is a SFC rank. It's only a test to see if people actually wanted it. And from what I'm seeing, there's really not even a decent chance that you guys will get your lieutenant server, if people are lieutenants and don't even want to play on the server. It boggles my mind. You guys want something, work is done so you guys can get it, and you guys don't use it.\
I see that the past brought troubles with the server. But it isn't like playing a game in UK5 will destroy your account and delete all of your guns. If people don't try it, and if I don't see it populated at all, my vote will be going against the lieutenant server if I'm ever asked. -

Its a test. If all goes well, it more than likely will expand to some other server -

At all theres a major difference between a SFC+ and 2nd lt+ server, sfc isnt thaat far away from staff seargent and there are still many sfcs hacking, the number of 2nd lts hacking is wayyy lower.
For sure its good that we have a sfc+ server now, but i think people dont use it cz if u go alone there or even with some clanmates, it wont make all people move out of uk2.
uk5 has always been almost empty, as there are just some people farming there.
Back to the point above, for that people move to uk5, there have to be at least 100 people going there at the same time, whats quite difficult.
U get my point? -

Don't overract xDBut wouldn't that defeat the purpose?
It was requested by the community to prevent low rank hackers from getting in and Z8 wanted to see if people use it, they don't want it filled, they want to see if it works else they could just add 50% GP up and fill it within a hour.
Ya, but the real issue is it doesn't get enough attention
I think it's just not enough public attention to it..
When I told my people in my clan the were like what UK 5 has a lvl requirement the were suprised.
The didn't notice it all....
I suggest saidin should send out message around the servers to let people know UK 5 has a higher lvl requirement
Not everybody reads the forums...
Even thought the forum peeps were the one's that suggested something like this COUGH* i even suggested a idea like this long time ago.
But ya now it's here it's useless if nobody is playing on that server........It's called a test.
If people actually use it, you'd have a very high chance of getting a higher level requirement server.
But since no one is using it, it's not really giving much reason to put a higher level one in.
It's like blackmailing
, he play on that server or you won't get a higher lvl req...
Kind of cheap, since nobody is getting on it since nobody really cares about it now....
It should get more attention and than more people will play it.
like I said above above send notice's around the servers to let people know about it...
People will complain blbala lvl is to low it should be higher but explain to them in the notice to.
Play the server and there may be a higher lvl server in the future. -

Thats exactly what's going to happen when they add SA servers , lolz. People will be like "we have an SA sevrer?" lol
And even if saidin would send out a msg around the server, brs wont understand it, at least many of them. -

How is that blackmail?
If the required stats are achieved, then the higher ups will see its worth it.
It was announced on every social media platform Z8Games are connected with. How much more publicity can you get? -
The idea for a higher level server to replace uk5 is good.
It does however have one major flaw. UK5 is VERY unstable: Constant ping spikes, major fps drops etc etc.
And that was with only 1 room in the ENTIRE server!!
So it´s no wonder that no one is playing on uk5 and uk4 is overfilled... -
Those little 2 ranks are what separate rackers from legit players. Most 2nd LT or above rank players are legit. Most SFC rank players and below aren't.
Well there are hackers on all parts of the ranking spectrum, but you would mostly find hackers on a lower rank because those are freshly made accounts. And also, I don't think they can rank up from Trainee 1 to SFC 1 in a day, except farming... so I believe there is a small reprive to play in that server for a little while, like right now.
The ping difference isn't THAT bad, like I get boosted from a 60-70 ping on a normal NA server to like 150-200. Yes there are moments where it gets nuts and people seem (including me) are "lagging" around (frozen in place, then boom shot across the map with a nice big gun sound to accompany it).Why would an NA player go to a UK server where there ping is higher and they have the dis-advantage.
But it is still playable. It gets more unbearable when it goes above 300. Trust me, I got clan mates living in college dorms that are like that, and they are only across the border from Canada in terms of ping. Pretty funny sometimes to see them rage :P
QFTIf people actually use it, you'd have a very high chance of getting a higher level requirement server.

Also it used to be that at the end of any game the score boards would not laod you would have to sit there for like 5 mins before it boots you back to the lobby and you didnt recieve any EXP or GP for the efforts you put in... Thats why i never played uk5 again.... But as ive said i havent played properly over the last few days so i havent had the chance to test it more recently.
