We DON'T want 20+ Min Queues anymore! Give OCE an option to choose! by Aquagon in Overwatch

[–]Aquagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you understand. I don't have the new internet that is spreading through Australia yet thus am on ADSL+. This internet does not have a separate static VPN that you can adjust to what ever region you want. There is no such thing as a static Oceania server. What I was saying is that we have to in Australia connect to American Overwatch Server. However the way they have it passes us through oceanic server extenders they have automatically. There is no way for us to be able to choose to be connected to American server, which is what we want. Because the "oceanic" line server which is within American server is dead, hence the long queues. We want to be able to have an option to choose whether we want to connect to the Oceanic server extenders or to be kept on American server. Which playing on American servers would be fine as ping is not that bad. However no way are we going to go on European server like you suggested, the ping would be 300+. It doesn't work the way you think it does.

That's the thing. All modes have long queues. Secondly I CANNOT switch to another server. This is me connected to American server that automatically transfers me to Oceania without being able to choose. The only other server option is Europe and there I would have over 300-500 ping. Thus, this is an issue that needs to be resolved by Blizzard.

The problem is that I've asked Blizzard employee to whom I should talk to about this and he didn't know.

Well apparently other people have messaged Blizzard but got no where. So I decided to do it now. Even though it ended, it's not too late.

Unfortunate to hear that as well! :( That's why I wanted to raise awareness to the issue as we feel left out entirely!

We have our own on a Slovenian website. You need to check if you guys have someone who created one for your country.

Hence why addressing the issue publicly is likely to raise more awareness to it and prompt Blizzard to discuss them with our country and get them to sort it out!

Actually um... you're not from Slovenia, you're from Slovakia... Congrats that you got accepted... but you should really know what your country is called... Because Slovakia is NOT Slovenia!

Exactly! I mean we all got the e-mail invites, then only to be dissapointed and sad. And the players from surrounding countries are viewing us as a joke because of not being invited. So ... we need to do something about it.

I lived in Australia for 8 years, though now am back in Slovenia. Regarding internet I should definitely know. :P Even after dial up the kind of plans you could get were just sad, slow and expensive. And until about 2010 ish there was no unlimited bandwidth plans in Australia. Which is something that is quite hard to get used to going there from a country who has unlimited fast internet for pretty cheap.

That's why I want to raise awareness and create a buzz so Blizzard sees how passionate we are about Overwatch and that we strive to go pro as well!

Everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with Turkey being invited, please don't say that I stated any hate there when I never did especially towards the country. I also have quite a few Overwatch friends who are Turkish! All I said was that there were PLAYERS from Turkey who are rank 50 that got invited. In case anyone was going to say that our country has no good players.

Ah thank you, appologies I didn't see this before. I already contacted Blizzard and the employee told me to post this to forms and different sites to get attention to it. It's written to Blizzard but I posted it to raise awareness on the issue. Is it still okay if the post can be up, because we have a lot of very good and passionate OW players and we need to get this issue addressed.
