whats your thoughts on the Asian server?

Postby yizhe » 5 May 2021, 16:09

well the asian server is up. imo, its A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Thanks to the guy who made it possible! (its lin i think?).
well the resurrections of dead players certainly reduced significantly (from my screen at least) and dang, i dont recall pb2 being this fun! The combined satisfaction of seeing players actually die when you kill them and bullets spawning when you fire them, certainly do make pb2 gameplay feel complete. Finally i can feel the joy of playing pb2 with less than 3 digit ping after 10 years....one decade.

This brings up a question open for discussion. Would adding more of such servers make pb2 better or worse? the term pb2 does account for community too. i was also wondering if this could slowly but eventually bring up pb2 playerbase, in the most ideal situation, back to 2012 2013 era?
Meep!

I think the new community-hosted asian server is good as this would accommodate our asian playerbase.

But I think this topic shouldn't just focus on the asian server but on the whole concept of community-hosted servers in PB2. This opens up a lot of avenues and possibilities for PB2 Multiplayer as servers can be customizable.

As an example, I've asked Eric this personally, it would be possible for server owners to add a little window on the right side of the match list on where it lists all of your online friends and then by hovering your mouse over them, you can see which match they are on and then you can join it.

This is just one of the possible features of having customizable servers and I look forward to people being enthusiastic and motivated into bringing their ideas here.

Server mods would be lots of work I think.
Servers should only really be added where there isn't one already available for low latency, otherwise, player base will split.

personally, I think it was good that Qilin made the HK server, it is (if i am not wrong) free unlike the cali one(i think), another thing is that the asian server is extremely stable and almost NEVER lagspikes unlike the terrible cali server which i think either needs fixing(fix the lagspiking problems) or removal. In my opinion, The moment i played the HK server, it really set the bar high and reminded me of how trash the Cali server is where the lagspiking problem makes a good ranked match impossible

IDK about the Asain server, just 420 pings. I just miss the European server as well, I always got 80 - 100 through all of these years until none plays at this server anymore and now it has been removed.

i guess there is no clue point about Asian servers nowadays as people keep being stubborn not to play at other servers as well (just keep playing at US servers with no knowledge to switch) people now have Asian servers but it's too late, the only reason for why Asian server is no worthy is because nobody even plays at the server lmao, cuz the game is kinda ded tbh wiz u though.

Sadly, there's no server which is totally free without cost meanwhile containing this such quality. Yes, it indeed cost money, but much cheaper than CA ones, if I want to say.

there isnt that many people playing on it and i think it is because Cali is listed as the first server and the one that you dont have to press an extra button just to enter, what a shame

huh...
I like it very much
And maybe prepare for some activities in the summer vacation in the future
Hong Kong servers will always support pb all series
Until some day in the future....( •̀ ω •́ )y
I hope even now there are not so many people in the game.But at least some people still remember
"Maybe I can invite some old friends to play with the classic maps we used to play together"
Although it's just a little game
But as a old player, it carries a lot of memories...(●'◡'●)
yeah...i hope yall can enjoy game^^

[this message above was brought to you by the person hosting the server] xdd

alluded to this in another topic, but the multiplayer server selection interface is terrible for any server that isn't listed as server 1 to connect to -- this was the case with the EU server as well (not so much when Washington 1 and Washington 2 were servers, but they were listed as server 2 and server 3 while California has always been server 1)

I do agree insofar as an Asian server may be worthwhile (maybe back in like 2014), but the reason why Eric has probably never pursued it is because it's more of a net negative and assets in terms of cost than the California server, hence why it's being tested as a community server, averages less than 5 players a month (while California server averages 8 times that amount)

i think asian players gotten used to clicking on cali that they forgot that they could use the asian server and i think the lack of players is due to how the server selection is designed rather than the server itself, since no one in the right mind would play a lagspiking high latency server( for asian players). the server selection shouldnt even have numbers to begin with and cali definitely should not be listed as the 1st server as humans would always tend to choose anything listed 1st rather than second
