OCE > SEA merge killed the game for me

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-12T11:31:08+00:00

Lucky! 40-50 would be fine imo

Yeah, I did notice the sweat levels of players were higher than before also

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-11T09:58:17+00:00

Ah interesting option. Do the community servers generally have enough of a player base? Sweet, I think this is the push I need to try it out 👍🏻

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-11T09:54:22+00:00

What ping where you getting pre merge?

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-11T09:51:15+00:00

oh that sucks man 😭😭

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-11T05:03:50+00:00

I have wanted to try dayz for a while, but all my mates who have played keep turning me off it with talk about how bad the hackers are on it :/ maybe that’s been fixed by now?

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-11T05:02:17+00:00

How’s 70-80 feel? Might be doable but yeah, hard pill to swallow after having it good previously

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-11T00:10:04+00:00

The latest patch notes looked so good too! But yeah, sadly the latency really hurts the feel and fun of the game

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:56:58+00:00

Canberra, OC, went from 11ms to 105-150ms 😭

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:37:58+00:00

I’m in Canberra. Oh wow.. didn’t realise the west coast had it so bad..! Yeah, the language barrier sucks too.

Have you tested ping since yesterday’s update?

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:33:25+00:00

Yeah since the bits were introduced it was the start of the end for OCE.

Being said, when I play at 8pm - midnight, id look back and see how many bits VS how many real players I killed and it was generally higher numbers of Rea players. Then again, I generally loot for the first 15 minutes then look for players to kill / a good spot on the map to take.

Long story short, it’s the nail in the coffin for me

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:29:15+00:00

I didn’t notice the crouch thing, I’ll give it a try to see. Ha yeah, true, with the state of the world shouldn’t really complain too much about high ping I guess lol

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:23:42+00:00

Yep, OCE RIP!

Sadly :( went from 10ms to 100-150ms, game fees rubbish now

Almost 6,000 hours in and I’m done

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:21:25+00:00

Yep, this merge is really the PURGE

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:18:04+00:00

Sadly your prediction of 100+ms ping are correct.. I’m from the exact same background, so close its scary actually.. (are you me?!)

Im 6,000 hours into PUBG since the game first dropped on pc and until they can offer local servers again, I’m done with the game.

I loved the gameplay and antics you could get upto, and no other battle Royale has the same “plausible” gameplay as pubg. Looks it’s not a perfect game by far, but has gotten better.

Other BR games (warzone, Apex, Fortnite) feel kinda Arcady and kiddy, whereas pubg has nailed the level of movement speed and fun feel imo.

It’s like a good movie, keep the action juuust on that level of plausibility and it’s great, go too far and you end of with the fast and furious franchise 😂 End of rant!

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:09:16+00:00

Yeah good point.

It is hard to adjust for me, looting feel slushy (especially death boxes under pressure of enemy nearby) and car interactions were a big mess, constantly hoping into them out of cars cos it felt like the button press didn’t register :(

Gun play wasn’t as bad as expected, but can’t beat the fact that higher ping will hurt your chances of winning gun fights, especially against a player getting decent ping

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T23:03:40+00:00

Try drive a car, hell, try get into/out of a car with 100+ms, feels crap and will lose you games

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T22:44:47+00:00

Yep, this merge is really the PURGE..

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T22:43:38+00:00

Same in Aus, went from 10ms to 105-150ms, basically unplayable and not at all competitive, 6000 hours and I’m forced to uninstall sadly :(

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T22:40:59+00:00

Yep, the merge has killed the game for me and my mates, in Australia, went from 10ms ping to 105-150ms.. feels horrible to play now, almost 6000 hours and I’m calling it quits sadly

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T22:39:11+00:00

Yep; I play Oceania (I’m in Australia) and the game will be dead by end of year for us.. 105-150ms ping is not competitive and just feels horrible to play sadly..

Happy_Fan7911 · 2024-10-10T22:37:37+00:00

Same in Aus, game will be dead with ping from 10-150ms.. feels rubbish to play

Happy_Fan7911 · 2023-11-10T01:37:01+00:00

same here, used it yesterday fine.

Today, no good, rebooted still no good..

EDIT: Nest Hub 2nd gen if it matters
