Queue issue from North Africa
Evening Respawn Team; I'm from North of Africa before everything, the internet here sucks, but still, i had this issue of not being able to queue in and get inside of a match, so the thing is the mo...
Simple. Imagine you're a game company (or any kind of company, actually). Would it generate money to install a server in a country where (according to what you said) internet connection is bad ? And also, in a country surrounded by other countries that are not very rich, and because of that peoples can't put too much money in a computer/console, nor just in an ridiculously expensive skin ?
If a company doesn't do something, it's because it doesn't generate money. That's it.
Well I didn't said that internet was bad here. I said MY internet was bad. The internet can be really good, we have servers at Johannesburg in South-Africa and Antananarivo in Madagascar. So the latency could be between 30/40 easily. And also, I don't know if you are aware of the countries that surround South-Africa, but first they are not necessarily countries (Reunion Island is a French territory for example), not necessarely poor or "not very rich" and then yes, people do have consoles and computers. For example, me and my bad internet can play R6 at 80ms on South-African servers. It's not a free game, you have to have a good pc/console to play and it works fine for everyone.
So : Internet is good, community is here and just want to play and will play way more often with good servers. Again, what are they waiting for ?
