EU server
The question is simple, but I don't expect an answer from CM, unless it's a copied template. When will you start focusing more attention on the EU server? The amount of cheaters (mainly in pubs) is ...
Boomp.
Out of 10 matches in pubs, half of them end up being won by a low level (<20 lvl) with a suspicious aimbot.
Take this server down until you do something about it.
In Europe, we have the second highest cheating Asia.
Playing on Europa for a few months has been like wrapping your time in paper, rolling it up and throwing it in the trash. Keep doing this and in July there will be -30k players like last month.
This is becoming a bit of a monotonous monologue. Kinda sad really.
The EU servers are fine. If you do not like playing on them then play somewhere else. If the game is not fun for you, then stop playing.
For us living in the EU if they take the EU servers down it would just be a big loss for us and for the game.
Not sure on what basis you say that EU servers are fine.
Playing since season 7, in mid teen seasons switched to NA East/Central because I realized that game was playable on 100-150 ms ping when EU side was sleeping (past 1 am). But this season was the first EVER where I intentionally skipped playing EMEA server and went almost straight to NA East / Central because exactly the same experience Blekerodo is talking just in ranked. Starting from D4 lobbies basically 4 out of 5 games top 3 to top 5 are dominated by Preds/Masters who should not be there (matchmaking topic) and smurfs/hackers who clearly can't play the game legit way.
If I could post names, links here you could be able to see my latest 20+ games but the quick summary is:
- 1 1st with 7 KP
- 3 3rd with 0-5 KP
- 2 4th with 0 KP
- 4 6th-8th with 0-2 KP
- 15 9th or worse mostly 0 KP
And that's me (previous split D2 almost D1 playing Plat lobbies). Matchmaking is one thing but clearly smurfing/hacking is the biggest/huge difference maker between those sudden "pop-offs" with 3+KP games vs losing pretty much first fight on landing or when holding rotation in end zone(s) = only/mostly hacker teams alive.
And you either agree to this statement or you can try proving the magical difference between 4 games out of 25 where I am competitive vs 21 games where I am basically bot suddenly within same 4-8h game time :)
What I mean by fine is that they should not be taken down as that is not a solution.
That would hurt EU server players and push the issue on to other servers compounding the issue causing even more problems. What then shut down the next set of servers and having a domino effect.
To be fair I am not sure which is better option - allow hackers to infest EMEA server and push legit players out or pull the plug and dilute higher number of hackers from EMEA / Asia in other server pool.
I would actually opt for making hacker lives / egos suffer:
- pull out of the game if you legit player until this issue is under control / solved (like I am doing now - haven't played now for 2? weeks)
- make hackers play on higher pings / get blocked out because you can't play e.g. Russian players who hack a lot probably can't and will not play NA servers while gladly infesting EMEA
- pin hackers vs hackers as I guess happened in Oceania / Australia servers based on Zeus youtube channel info - there is laughable video where like last ring contains 4? teams that all clearly use wallhack and aimbot and they keep shooting and rehealing eachother for like eternity because noone can outhack eachother :D Probably they would get tired of these type of games pretty fast AND Respawn would have great data pool to ban them all - seeing that previously dominating players suddenly can't play as well because now they face hackers as well
