Seriously can we get NAE servers again? Chicago is central for anyone who wants to say Chicago is East when it’s a North Central ABK server hosting location.
Anyhow, minimum ping to Chicago on ANY GAME not just OW, is 50-70ms ping.
That’s not good. Anything not hitscan is a 50/50 if it actually registers, and it’s really more noticeable than it should be because of the net code.
Why did Blizzard remove the NAE servers, and only use West and Central. Like since Blizzard prioritizes West coast, if I have a friend on NAW servers, I’m stuck playing 120-150ms which…
tldr West coast servers when you’re on the East coast… You get walked every single game. 120ms on a good day is not even worth playing. Now that NAE is gone, central is rare when queuing NAE and NAW. 99% of our games, end up NA West when 2 people are East and 1 person is California.
Can we please fix this? Also, I’ll include cross play. Why does it take way longer to find a match lol Give controller PC players aim assist in qp.
I feel this issue a lot myself, living in nebraska it’s a roll of the dice which server I’ll get. Knowing micro/blizz they will probably add one to Antarctica before we get better servers in America.
They had NAE servers in OW1, and at launch for OW2.
It’s crap, if you’re NAE you’re rolling the dice on if the game is going to be playable and at it’s best it’s not going to be as good as anyone in Central NA.
They get 15-40 and we get a minimum great connection of 50+
there is no point at this rate with how season 12 is going there is no reason to put more servers as the game is pretty much dead like you can see the balance this season is completely trash
Team 4 needs to seriously fire the lead balance dev.
Every change is more annoying than the last.
Mix it up guys make it more miserable than the last hurry.
It’s like they balance hoping to see who’s truly willing to suffer through the most unfun patches possible.
I don’t think that they are but I’m not sure since I’m not on console. I will say that on PC we have a problem where for some reason the most populated are of the US doesn’t have a server. It used to though. And lately the central server has been failing or overloaded so we get sent all the way from East Coast like NY, Massachusetts, Virginia to Southern California. I even ended up in Australia once, clear on the opposite side of the world. That was fun.
You do realize they have north and south central, and west coast servers.
So ofc you don’t have issues lol.
They literally removed the east coast. So now even (I’m not far from Chicago but for whatever reason no matter what game server in Chicago, it’s always horrible ping.)
See like the ping is horrible, 20-30 ping is awesome. But I can’t even get central with my west coast friends or my south central friends because 80ms at the lowest luckiest day makes almost every projectile based hero noticeably worse. I think just ball parking it off my games where my accuracy on like Orisa for example. Drops between 10-20% of my normal solo queue or NAE group queue where these have been consistent for almost a year now.
Back in the last days of OW1, I used to constantly get logged onto Asian (Korean?) servers in the morning. I live in CA, so, on the one hand, closer to Asia than most of the country; on the other hand, there’s still a gigantic ocean between us. Anyway, I would just drop and reconnect and end up back in an NA server.
I do get a lot of Spanish speakers though. Not sure if that’s a function of the population in the Southwest, if Mexican players are connecting to U.S. based servers, or if I’m somehow getting onto a Mexican server. My tech expertise is such that I assume this happens on literal clouds.
Yeah PSN doesn’t have it’s own servers, they have console only pools and mixed pools (ie. why matchmaking takes forever in mixed queue) and PC pool.
So all the same host clusters.
Yeah idk I played a little on PC OW1 near the end. But the matching is very shotty once they removed probably one of the most popular servers besides NA West.
I just don’t know why we even have this somehow worse game than OW1 that wasn’t updated for years. What did they even work on lmaoo
