excellent reddit thread but i accidentally tweeted my reply already instead of in here https://twitter.com/m_ray/status/1475440206970978308
It's typically considered to be EU because they practice the most and consistently are ahead of the meta in regards to other regions. They also aren't so top heavy, there are a lot of top teams that are closer in skill whereas other regions have less teams at that level.
Pretty much
Awesome. I know some in some other games when you have high packet loss it just stops you from moving. In Apex however, you have the players teleporting all over. Is that a solution you might be thinking of implementing?
I have some ideas :) Hard to explain without doing an expose. Maybe we will do a blogpost on the netcode in the future.
Any chance of getting Pred lobbies running again on Singapore/HK servers?
While I don't mind playing Tokyo all the time, there are cases where either me or my teammate has bad routing to JP servers and it will lead to one of us having 200+ ping or even high ping + packet loss which is worse.
Been experiencing bad server routing more often since Season 11 dropped and just higher ping on Tokyo in general. (I used to get 70-80ms but now get around 100-150.)
Routing is a major issue in general in Asia. Issues are more around as you described inconsistencies. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is very bad. I often work with players to detect and pinpoint which node in the route is faulty to try to resolve those categories of problem faster. But it is a day to day problem that necessitate constant monitoring.
To answer your question directly, yes I think it would be possible with region lock.
My biggest concern is trying to play with friends from other regions and trying to find a playable ping balance. I like to play JP with my oce friends and NY with my EU friends because I'm west coast NA.
Nothing wrong with that.
sounds like a good change. nice that i'll still be able to play with EU friends on New York, and good that full NA teams can't farm Sao Pao anymore.
but WHAT I REALLY WANT u/ricklesauceur is a Chicago server PLEASE. i'm from Minneapolis and my lowest ping is St Louis, followed by 4 IOWA SERVERS. does Iowa really need that many servers?
(idk why STL is better than Iowa, except that some servers seem to just be higher quality. worth noting that hitreg feels best for me on New York at 100ms vs 40ms in STL and Iowa)
i really feel like there's enough players in just the stretch of Lake Michigan from Chicago to Milwaukee to justify some quality servers there, and then there's the surrounding areas too.
Depends where the datacenters are. We can take a look.
How am i supposed to find, or even know that there is anything for reporting cheaters? Conor/Hideouts on twitter doesn’t have anything linked or pinned on his twitter. Hell, how is the average joe going to know about “Hideouts” as the guy behind the hammer?
While we are at it, why is the whole reporting cheater thing so difficult? Does the in-game report function actually gets looked into? I’m sorry for sounding like i’m ranting but it’s not every day you get the chance to ask stuff from a rspn dev.
Is it possible to make something similar to Overwatch’s “report successful” message when you log in to make players feel heard?
Best is to report in the game of course. It is definitely looked at, and the preferred solution (easy, accessible to anyone).
Yeah we thought about the "report successful", it may happen some day but it is dev time and it is a limited resource. We have been focusing on fighting cheaters, I hope you feel the improvements.
Is there like a discord or twitter account we can directly contact for this side of Asia? or is the JP server the only one?
Because you speak English the normal one can do.
I am sorry to make you read all that. I thought the reigon lock might be coming to every rank and all aspects of the game. I am relieved to hear it is just Master / Pred. Thank you for your response.
It is fair to ask. It is only a competitive adjustment for really people that cares a lot about those things. We are proud of our tech that allows you to play a bit anywhere you like and with your friends, it is a big part of Apex, we will never remove that from you.
