If I choose EAST, I want to stay in east, why would I have to be moved to west? Give me the choice to reject it, thank you.

Hello, we are currently looking into making it so Cross-District Matchmaking does not work between two different regions such as NA East and NA West.

I am playing APB from Japan and we are playing on the west server at 120ms, on the east server the latency is about 170ms, when it gets to 170 it is hard to play comfortably, but the NA server tends to have more people on the east. We have no option to switch to Japanese or other Asian languages and no PR on APB, so we have no hope of attracting more players even if we create a West server or an Asian server. If possible, I would like to see the cross-matching continue or the East server be eliminated and only the West server be operated. People in the US and Canada have only 60ms latency at worst, even between West and East servers.

I am near the eastern canada shore. I get 90-100 ms here to US-West.

Playing above 70 ms is too high for a PvP game. To be fair, I'd rather stop playing instead of having a laggy experience.

 

Ever since the US-East instances are back, the Jericho population went back up. Cancelling US-East would be detrimental to the game's survival.

 

I think the way foward is to just unbound characters from server locations.

 

All characters should be global, and we should be able to join all worlwide instances from 1 server.

If we are going to talk about this, it seems to me that we must continue with the EAST server and continue cross-matching as it is now.Fighting with low latency is a great experience, but if it's 120ms in Japan and 90ms to 100ms in Canada, fairness is guaranteed. In other words, a wide range of servers come in the middle, so a global server that allows many players from Asia to Canada to fight in a near fair manner is now the WEST server.

The reason why its played on East because NA has a lot of Brazilian players. They are the one's first in the district and the last to log out..

It was good while it lasted on NA west, anyone from Oceania / Asia players were able to come back and play again with at least 120-140 ping for a month.

 

Most of them now quit. Game does not feel the same and there is no reason to even play. This is by far the only game I've known that does not improve the core aspect of the game to make it more enjoyable, but destroy it with band-aid patch fixes. 

 

The engine update was all BS, where is the real engine update? game looks the same, At least change that UGLY UI HUD in-game.

Yea playing East at 91+ ms, it not cool. Sure if you consider that everyone was 90+ms 

then it might be fair, but it's not. BR and those from the EAst coast enjoy low latency while

the rest of us lag behind. The old East server ran 60ms up to 90. 

 This is why I have coined the east server as the Atlantic server

That said, most players want the more populated server.

So this idea of cross district is not tolerable. 

If I wanted to sit in a dead district even west at 1ms, then I'd go there. 

I absolutely don't like being removed by force from the populated server. 

Your mechanic does not allow a player to say NO. 

You get a Question of Y for Yes or N for Hide, Either way you're going. 

You have no choice. And ofcourse when U get there, its you and a couple 

low ranks hiding way across the map Vs a pair of golds and another low rank on their side, 

who is also not participating. So these low ranks k up trying to get a mish between themselves, 

and the MM brings in High to max rank golds and silvers to upstage their mission. 

Meaning they cant have a casual mission now, they have to fight max ranks and out score the 

golds sent to district, or they will dethreat. 

So now you're afraid to k up cause they will take you off that server
