No OCE servers for Plunderstorm makes it unplayable

220 from across the ditch in NZ and that combined with a dislike of Twitchy PVP means I am not even bothering with the event. I like my PVP slower paced and less twitchy and more strategic such as in World of Warships.

Unplayable on 200MS - cant dodge orbs or quake stun despite our models being outside the animation.

Around 180-220ms.

The main problem is our crap internet thanks toā€¦ THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT (who are actually conservative and obey the whims of Rupert Murdoch. Donā€™t let the name fool you).

I donā€™t understand why you guys donā€™t have servers. Hey, tons of dead servers or super low population servers exist, they could just migrate a whole lot of the low population/no population away onto a newly formed large server and free up those old ones for Oceana if theyā€™re unwilling to create new ones.

The claim that the absence of Oceanic servers renders Plunderstorm unplayable is a dramatic overstatement that fails to recognize the resilience and adaptability of the gameā€™s community. While server proximity can indeed affect gameplay, especially in a skill shot-centric game like Plunderstorm, itā€™s far from rendering it unplayable. Many players from the OCE region have demonstrated remarkable skill and ingenuity, adapting their playstyle and strategies to overcome latency challenges. Furthermore, the gameā€™s developers are continuously working on optimizing the netcode and matchmaking systems to provide a smoother experience for all players, regardless of their location. Itā€™s important to acknowledge the efforts of both the players and the developers in making Plunderstorm an enjoyable experience for everyone.

Hereā€™s a list of tips for OCE players to enhance their Plunderstorm experience despite server challenges:

šŸŽÆ Practice precision aiming to minimize the impact of latency on skill shots.
šŸ›”ļø Utilize defensive strategies to buy time for accurate shots.
šŸ”„ Experiment with different characters and abilities to find those that are more forgiving of lag.
šŸ’¬ Communicate with teammates to coordinate attacks and cover each other's latency-related weaknesses.
šŸ“¶ Optimize your internet connection by using a wired connection and closing unnecessary background applications.
šŸŒ Consider using a VPN or gaming proxy service to potentially reduce ping.
šŸŽ® Use game settings to lower graphics and increase performance for a smoother experience.
ā±ļø Play during off-peak hours when server load is lighter and latency may be reduced.
šŸ† Focus on improving game sense and strategy, which can compensate for some of the challenges posed by higher ping.

Not sure of the general opinion, but I suspect some are asking for an actual Oceanic server which is for Oceanic players only. That way we would play with decent ms. Even if our population is smaller, its a small zone and its quite probable we could fill it from our Oceanic player population.

South American players wouldnā€™t be put on it.

Please add OCE servers! 200 ms is awful to try and land skill shots!

I got really excited about Plunderstorm and reinstalled retail because of it - only to find out itā€™s unplayable on OCE. Itā€™s frustrating and unenjoyable to play with delays and be at a sizeable disadvantage comapred to everyone else.
Why exclude OCE players?

EDIT: Wanted to give props to the devs, this is a really fun gamemode. And after giving it another go: it is kinda playable from Australia, but you have to deal with rubber-banding players and deceptive hitboxes / getting hit by stuff nowhere near you. Still disappointing to not have dedicated Aussie servers.
