Topic: bout GM'sJust a suggestion

As it says, just a suggestion.
How about you open up the Beta test server to the PAID player base rather than a select few, (mainly Euro based players who have sub 50M/S latency and would be hard pressed to deal with anything above 140M/S) before implementing new patches. Get it out to the masses (i.e EVERYONE!!) so we can run amok there, finding all the hassles, the bugs etc and destroy it there, rather than post numerous posts in here complaining about the weird, the strange, the latency, the disconnects, the myriad of other hassles that you are trying to fix but in some cases, actually make it worse to the general player base and that we are currently paying for.

For instance, since the new patch, the latency for this game has doubled for me personally, that and the numerous disconnects, resulting in lost items etc.

Now I am from Australia, so I am used to a high latency issues, I can deal with them and quite happily play and pay with a 425M/S latency issue. I play and have played shooters with this type of latency, and back in the days of MW4 League, was quite adept at "Lag Shooting" targets, but since the latest patch, latency has now doubled peaking sometimes to 4000 - 6000 M/S, I disconnect more times in a single session (about 3-5hours) than what I had experience in a month worth of playing. That and waiting ages for modules to activate (anywhere up to a minute) and I am now beginning to get a tad frustrated and I don't like paying for frustration, if I want that, I would get out in the car and try and drive in peak hour traffic on a Toll Way that is more akin to a mobile car park and pay for the privilege there.

So DEVS, how about it? Open up the Beta Test server so we can really nit-pick, pull apart, dig in and around and generally cause havoc to it and feel good about it.

P.S While on the subject, how about having GM's being in the General chat during ALL Time Zones, not just the Euro ones?? And that they are actually in GAME during their shift as 90% won't repond to anything let alone a PM. At least then I may have a chance of getting back those items I have lost due to these disconnects, not that it matters being in a communist corp, but it is the principle of the thing now.

P.P.S And now the Forum servers are playing up merry hell. Can't even properly edit this thing...but I have a real nice ping to everywhere else in Europe.....Last words of advice....If ain't broke, don't screw with it and KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid) Games balances, yep, bugs need working over, go for it. Over all graphic and server modifications before FULL beta testing = suicide.

Re: bout GM'sJust a suggestion

Good idea. But I think people who can't type "ms" should not be included in the beta.

Re: bout GM'sJust a suggestion

Bad idea actually. DEVs should give us ep, give us stuff, etc... And there will be alots of QQ right on the testing, that may slow development process at all.

Have a productive day, runner!
R.I.P. Chenoa, you'll never be forgotten.
DEV Zoom: Line, sorry, I was away for christmas.

Cant see the problem.. I frequently get over 400 meters per second lag....
