See my Forbes link? Read it? It says Xbox One sales are terrible in Japan.
At least until DICE ping or region lock servers, don’t expect any changes on PS4.
Seeing that only 38k Xbox Ones were sold, the chances of Xbox players encountering a Japanese player are far less likely. Couple that with the fact that many don’t play BF4 it’s less likely. Now, all that combined with the amount of active servers and that I play in region, it’s pretty slim I see someone with Japanese tags.
John this has been a problem for quite some time. DICE knows there’s a problem, it’s been brought to their attention numerous times, but they just choose to ignore it and/or provide some b.s. statement that they’re working on a solution. The only viable solution is ProCon. You can set ping limits (and region filters) which would automatically kick these turd nuggets as soon as they tried to enter a server. I just don’t see why we can’t have the same level control over a server that we rent like PC players do. These pricks would still be able to play official DICE servers and lag to their heart’s desire.
I don’t know why they don’t do this tbh. Probably iron out a lot of the games problems. Or nerf the lag compensation so the high pingers are the ones that suffer and they leave.
Yet another night ruined by OOR players, constant bullit sponges and generally poor server performance in a Euro server so I checked the language preset and 26 out of 32 enemy were American with usa tags, I had to laugh in the end I unloaded my u-100 into a guy and after about 20/30 bullits I hit reload expecting him to die, nope he just casually looked up at me and droppede with 1 shot, he apparently still had 20% health, that is when I decided to call it a night.
Been saying for the longest time oor players make the game turn crappy quick. Best thing dice can do is region lock all official and ranked servers ,rented servers are up to the server renter and then make official international servers for those that want that kind of experience and for those that have clan members in different countries.
They claimed they were going reduce benefit high ping players received from the lag compensation in the last big patch, but when the patch was released the notes mentioning the reduction mysteriously disappeared. Then T1gge showed up on the ProCon thread and said that they were looking into the issue and then disappeared again. Just more empty promises from DICE. At this point I doubt this issue will ever be resolved.
But I agree with you, players should not be rewarded for bad connections.
japan players are becoming more and more a massive issuse daily i see more and more and more and more of them in all the west coast servers. they lag the servers so bad it pisses me off !! DICE FIX THIS PLEASE !!! ASAP ,
I am in Japan and I play on Asian servers for the most part. A lot of other players are going to outside Asian servers because there are few servers that support a wide variety of map packs. You can hardly find Second Assault, Dragon’s Teeth or any of the other DLC on Asian servers. Mostly it is just the core BF4 maps. Not sure if that is the entire reason you are seeing so many Japanese players, but it might explain some.
are you sure? last time I checked PS4 and Xbox One are still “Made in China”. if it were made by the americans it’d cost double the price with a chunkier build,lol
