Around this time most US servers are full of out of region players. Last year around this time you would see rarely any japs in american servers wth changed?
Guess they are out of servers too
Not true they have more empty servers than enough, it’s easy to see these players are looking for an advantage
Or maybe not looking for advantage but looking for a chance to get all the ranks and weapons fast and sell their tagname along with all the goodies to the highest bidder. Heard some rumors bout that. Mwah my advice let them be and change server.
Am a UK player and try and stick to euro servers but been experimenting today, tried a handful of East us servers, picked through battlelog aiming for around 120/130 ping, had a few not perfect but fairly enjoyable rounds, then picked a euro server with a ping of 20, rubber banding lag insta deaths, wtf is going on with this game, I just shuts ps down after 10 minutes in the euro server, it seems for me the only way to have a decent game is to aim for the 130 ping mark and the only way to do that is to play OOR. But I’ve tried all sorts over the last year and whatever works this week dosn’t the next.
they are invading us servers too man. whats worst of all they do it on purpose, not just the Japanese players but foreign players in general. they go in to servers out of their region knowing they will end up with a lag advantage, its why I want servers that are region locked so when I get in to a game that runs good it will stay that way instead of turning in to a lag fest ten minutes later because some dudes from asia decided they wanted a lag advantage
Am not sure region lock will be affective without ping lock, your next door neighbour could still have poor internet and lag advantage, lag compensation needs to go IMO, online gaming is getting more and frustraiting over the years, I presume because they want to sell consoles in every corner of the earth even if the’re internet connection is 2paper cups and a piece of string.
Region lock will not work. You can have someone in your own town stealing the local wifi and they too will have the worst connection ever. What we need is to turn down the lag compensation so for those who have a decent connection wont be put at a disadvantage compared to someone with a poor connection to the server you are playing on.
The video below will show you why region lock will not work as it is some dude using his iPhone for his connection. He plays fine but everyone else has a really poor game.
Spot on
Really growing weary of all of this.Haven’t played a full match in a week. The game has been running like crappolla for me for whatever reason, oor or servers need restarted I don’t know.
I do know by checking some East US servers just now that they are full of OOR players. Yes quick match may put some there but not all. They’re doing it for a reason .
C’mon Dice at least give folks renting servers the tools to deal with this issue so it could at least be ruled out as the problem.

This
I am European playing on Euro servers only.
I played on two official DICE servers in CQL64 today.
The first was on Final Stand, around 50 players then server full, everything was perfect.
Then I moved to Naval Strike, around 50 players at the beginning.
Everything was perfect then these stutters once the server full.
Unplayable.
Checking some player profiles in the Leaderboards from the Battle Report.
One guy in my team was from South Africa and another was from Japan.
I found another japanese player in the other team.
I did not check all players, that was enough.
For the SA player, well, they don’t have servers in their region.
But the two other guys, they have servers in their region.
What horrible game experience.
I have rented a server the past 3 days
Darth’s Land of Fun
Anyways, I have kicked roughly 70 people a day.
Out of those 70 I would day that a great majority are low levels.
While I do believe that there are some OOR blatantly exploiting lag advantage, It seems to me that most are placed into my server through quick match.
I’m curious as to how many new player set up their search filters, etc.
The problem is that even if u are diligent in staying in a regional server, ea doesn’t care a throws everyone into the same pot.
Ranked servers take care of this quick match problem at a cost of having an EMPTY server.
There is no way to filled a region specific server unless u have a lot! Of! Friends!
MP iiiisssssssss bbrrrrrrroooookeeee aaaasssss fffffuuuuuu. . . LOST CONNECTION TO EA SERVER
I will have to see what my ping is when I use my phone’s connection to play because my download and upload speeds are slightly less than when I don’t.
gonna upload a compilation video soon of the strange things happening due to the out of region guys. Hopefully more ammo to try and get ping limits. Hit the same chopper 3 times with a tank shell, nothing… Pilot = brazilian in eu server
I’m noticing that when I slam a tank or LAV with a a javelin it just simply launches them forward every time. Thats when I notice their from JAP or BR. zero damage.
Have you experienced the invisible tank or lav yet? Oh its very nice. Usually happens when you’re in cover or trying to flank. Then no audio cue , nothing its just suddenly there where it wasn’t a second before.In this particular match that day I couldn’t jump off a rooftop or a curb it was like there was an invisible wall there. Checked server and they were there. OOR 's from Japan and Brazil.
Gotta say thanks OP for starting the thread as it helps to see others experience the same wtf moments. And its a relief to vent to folks who understand. I bitch to my girlfriend and she just tells me to quit playing. By the way there have been a few times she sitting with me in the mancave watching me play and she can even see the wtf moments
