Guys, we get you want OCE servers. But if the spam and toxicy continue over it further action will be taken. Its getting out of hand at this point

You can have fun without breaking the rules πŸ™‚

i dont think antagonizing the mods anymore is going to result in productive results

kinda cool i got the last msg in the thread tho

they are antagonizing themselves by coming here looking to get upset

whats jeet?

elder chasm
#

bro u just killed the oce server for good

#

this thread is also going to get nuked

#

the old thread might be the most commented on thread in the server

WHAT NO SHOT LMFAO

how are we breaking rules, literally the people having a cry about us are non oce because they decided to post in the thread which is entirely irrelevant to them

I’m sure that bubo as well as others on the team have shown their appreciation for the passion people have for an OCE SERVER, however if it can’t stay civil, we will start handing out warnings, mutes and potential bans if it gets out of hand.

Us putting a slow mode or locking threads is not, nor will ever be about silencing those who want a OCE server, but because the discussions get way off topic and in some instance, deform into topics and discussions which do indeed break the community guidelines.

We strive for a community where everyone has a voice for feedback, however that comes with the expectations of respect, understanding and patience.

red epoch
#

its really a player base size thing. our current population is much smaller than other games and our queues require a lot more people. so we'd either have shit queue times or loose matches

crimson fjord
#

@red epoch Honestly, we know that you guys need certain populations in regions to make servers feasible.

What we need to discuss is, what numbers do we need to reach for oce servers to be viable and what number are we currently at.. this information would make us a lot more understanding about your position.

Also the other point that we would like to make is the fact that as oce servers take longer to come out, less oce players will be interested further making the incentive even lower to release oce servers

red epoch
#

given we haven't even landed that balance with larger servers...its gonna be a minute

#

that is fair insomnia - its just been 4 days!

#

in my professional opinion i disagree. plenty of times where players have asked for X and not liked what comes with X

#

i whipe my ass with that

red epoch
#

exactly

lethal osprey
#

@red epoch apoligies if this isnt your department but wanted to ask

Is there a specific way the game is made on why playing with the ping is so inconsistent? theres times in fights where honestly it feels like im playing with say 20 ping and have no issue playing on hong kong servers, (likely due to not having packet loss at the time) and then well sometimes its the opposite where the game is fully unplayable. sorry if it sounds like i dont know what im talking about cause i dont haha,

also just wanted to ask if theres any plans of singapore servers in the future? basing this off rocket league but playing on singapore servers with 90 ping was 100% playable so it could be the second best outcome instead of pure oce servers?

red epoch
#

i nearly cried

#

guys. please. leave. my. mods. out. of. it

pulsar pike
#

What about provisional queues tbh that or Singapore would be nice

red epoch
#

more server locations are desired!

shoudl be consistent across eastern states

spring stone

much better

lethal osprey
#

i mean again basing off rocket league 90 in signapore and im getting like 160 in supervive with hk servers

wild cloud
#

if you use exit lag also

red epoch

yeah its non linear for sure. getting under 120 is nice

# red epoch whats that

It’s essentially a vpn which tries to do what network acceleration does, but by trying to mitigate the number of network hops you do from client to server.

#

i found out from my incel mate

#

used to play a lot of battlerite and i saw a streamer called Teldoo who i used to watch playing

oh for sure - he was our first in client promo

crimson fjord

#

im trying to figure out which creators have oce audiences vs just na/gb

lethal osprey
#

i need to actually play with the packet loss statistic but imo i think solving that is whats actually going to change how the game feels, again actually need to clip how the game feels with vs without it but yeah

pulsar pike
#

Singapore will drop us marginally I'd say by ~40-60

spring stone
elder chasm
#

in the steam next fest demo i was actually pleasantly surprised to be able to feel and perceive a reasonable amount of corrections happening due to ping. all too often games are made with overly client authoritative netcode which makes the experience bad on both sides of overseas play

red epoch
# pulsar pike Singapore will drop us marginally I'd say by ~40-60

rn asia server isnt big enough to split...i need to go look at where all the current players are and how much their ping would go up + if the server type we run on is in SG + when engineering could do it - we'll see what else is on the to do list once we get back to work tomorrow.

spring stone
#

yeah the nidhogg to supervive pipeline is strong

red epoch
#

we're in it for the long haul. plenty of games decline after their first weekend - thats normal. we know we have a lot to do to make the game better still

#

if we aren't keeping players engaged in a few weeks then prioritizing more servers instead of making the game better is the wrong call

I can do some traveroutes to AWS SG and HK later and ping you here if you want, might give better insight

honestly thats not even the right framing - theyre great people and they deserve some family time and rest too.

theyre not gonna ragequit. theyre gonna be miserable and thats not the right way to keep the energy to do this

spring stone
red epoch
#

appreciate you understanding

#

@pulsar pike thats okay - i got some ping tools up that'll get us close enough

#

theres at least a couple of countries with larger player bases that will be worse off if we move it... but tech might have win-win options

oce is not mentioned in the road map. we are cooked πŸ™

kindred gyro
#

We are mentioned at the very end in the p.p.s

"P.P.S. Also: heard on the OCE server (or lack thereof) sadness. Totally understand the negativity; playing on 170 ping is brutal. Just to be honest: our biggest challenge with OCE servers is maintaining a healthy queue population, which affects matchmaking, queue times, etc. Much bigger studios with much bigger games have launched OCE servers and had to shut them down due to low population. Ultimately it’s a risk we can’t yet take as a new, independent studio that isn’t yet profitable. One day we’d like to at least have servers closer to OCE, but we gotta get this plane off the ground first. Thank you to those playing through the ping and supporting us - sorry we don’t have the answer you’re looking for!"

So yeah we're still cooked, not getting it anytime soon by the sounds of it.

obsidian fjord
kindred gyro
#

Yeah we're more than used to the potential queue times, as long as there is an oce playerbase I dont see the issue

#

I'd rather queue up for 5 mins to get 30 ping than a 1 minute queue for 170 ping rubberbanding dash into death

#

its driving me nuts

pastel bough
#

out of interest for oce whats the next best server? eu asia or na?

obsidian fjord
#

asia for sure its located in hong kong and you will be around 130-160 ping depending on where u live in Australia. if they add Singapore servers we will be getting 90-120 in asia

rich magnet
#

I try to play characters that can still perform at high latency, unfortunately skillshot characters are out of the question :/

royal plank
#

I've got an idea on how to make a temporary solution for your problems in #1311015974601752668
If I'm correct this might be a low-cost solution for you, with the cost of increased queue times - or being free to change to asia server if you want game fast

Cheers sheep guys

pulsar pike
#

Why do that when provisional queues work 100x better, more than likely cost less and isn't a random will I be in Asia or OCE

#

Most providers for this, (AWS) included allow you to provision servers that have "spike" and idle thresholds

#

A lot of the cost is in DTO anyways not actually the hardware

#

Anyways the whole point now is this isn't really a cost issue tbh and more of a can we support queues when each game currently requires 40 players. "At the cost of increased queue times" is exactly what the Devs are looking to avoid

#

Your solution just splits the population even further

lapis peak
#

If we can't get OCE servers, what about looking into why the dodge key is so jank on high ping? It rubberbands everywhere even when there has been no external interruption in movement and makes playing any character that is dodge reliant almost impossible

patent yarrow
#

Ye playing ranked above diamond on 140 ping is basically impossible, how can I read Joule when she’s rubber banding all over my screen

#

And they’re too scared to pay for custom games but expect us to believe we’ll get a server

#

Quit while you can OCE players, waste of fkn time

lapis peak
#

Our team is on the verge of quitting out of lag frustrations every night 😦

patent yarrow
#

It’s ass dude, was hoping this patch would instill confidence but as I said money’s so much of an issue they can’t allow a basic feature in almost every other game, customs, so the chances we get a whole ass server within even 6 months is laughable

#

Such a good game, such shit decision making, it has 5k viewers on twitch consistently so it’s not gonna pop off any time soon

crimson scaffold
#

I read above that they can't have OCE servers because we don't have a big enough playerbase
I think it was like, either 1000 OCE players total, or maybe it was about 500 at peak
Either way, that definitely isn't enough

patent yarrow
#

Yeah and it’s not going to grow if people’s first interaction with the game is rubber banding to narnia every 5 minutes

#

My mates and I played a good 14 hrs over the weekend, game feels great IF you have good connection, completely unfair and unplayable otherwise

green radish
# lapis peak If we can't get OCE servers, what about looking into why the dodge key is so jan...

This is my biggest gripe, any dodge and your character janks around back and forth. Really breaks the flow and it makes it almost impossible to avoid attacks when you're pinging back into an enemy ability (stuns are the worst). Even if you're pre-emptively dodging I feel like I still get hit. I was holding hope, and suffering through the jankyness because the game is pretty awesome, but that P.P.S is making me lose motivation to keep going. 😦

patent yarrow
#

Yeah the PPS just reinstated the backwards logic, the only way we get a server is if 10k+ people put up with garbage gameplay for months at minimum which just isn’t realistic?!

#

Probably more than 10k+ too, they want like 100k people to play on 150 ping consistently

red epoch
#

where are you getting those numbers?

gentle pendant
#

what is the number then?

patent yarrow
#

I’m just being realistic, you won’t make a server for 5k people would you

red epoch
#

theres a big difference between 5k and 100k...its just misleading even if thats not your intent

patent yarrow
#

We’d need numbers in the tend of thousands at minimum to have a chance at them considering us

red epoch
#

we're considering it now!

#

but thats not the same as being able to pull it off

patent yarrow
#

I’m putting numbers out there because we haven’t been given any lmao

#

Just being told β€œ hang in tight”

red epoch
#

i dont have specific numbers for you, we are on day 7, need to see how things go to make big decisions like adding servers

patent yarrow
#

Yeah and i’m just saying the fact its this big a decision at all is a huge tell

lapis peak
#

It's a bit of a chicken egg situation since if you don't add OCE servers, the OCE players are just going to give up. I imagine streamers would be pretty hesistant to playing a game with janky lag

#

Why is the dodge key so jank with 160 ping? Is that on the radar at all? Just walking back and forth in training pressing the dodge key its obvious how bad it is, which cant even compare to how frustrating it is in an actual match

patent yarrow
#

The devs only show up to tell you to be patient man, better off asking in general or something

#

Bit it is awful to play with I agree

swift narwhal
lapis peak
#

Ya

#

Super frustrating on Joule when I press my dash and suddenly everything desyncs, I miss my dash even though when I clip it I went straight through the target

#

Brall felt pretty unplayable with how badly dash would desync

swift narwhal
#

Yeah when I double roll on myth my game has a seizure

lapis peak
#

Ya that's evident from just going into training mode and spamming dodge, game having a seizure is the perfect way to put it

void glade
# lapis peak It's a bit of a chicken egg situation since if you don't add OCE servers, the OC...

Honestly after the announcements today i give up, i cant continue to play a game like this one on 160 ping. It’s an abysmal experience. The fact they include adding korean servers on the roadmap but flat refuse to even give us a trial period server is straight fucked. I mean hell at this point id be somewhat fine with oce servers running on a p2p system if that means i can have decent ping, but that doesnt even seem to be explored by the devs.

#

β€œBuT tHe QuEuE tIMeS”. newsflash devs. The aus region always has longer queues we just fucking deal with it. Sure there will be a vocal minority saying β€œgame dead long queue wah wah” but jfc refusing to even ATTEMPT to grow the oce community is wild to me

lapis peak
#

The announcement was South American servers not KR right? I didn't see the KR announce

void glade
#

There is a kr flag in the roadmap

lapis peak
#

Oh, missed that

void glade
#

Looking at it again that was the october part of the roadmap so likely already implemented

#

But my point stands

lapis peak
#

Game has more players than New World and getting 40p OPR queues in a that game where 95% of the players don't even queue for PvP modes is fine

void glade
#

Its beating deadlock in player numbers

#

Deadlock has oce servers

#

Like wtf

lapis peak
#

Same with Dark and Darker, they have OCE and even when that was peaking it had half the current players of this game 😦

void glade
#

Apex STILL has oce servers and those things are dead for 80% of the day

#

I mean fuck id hazard a guess i can still find oce games in fucking titanfall 2

patent yarrow
#

Greedy owners or something idk but the reasons we’re getting just aren’t it at all

#

Genuinely on what fucking planet does a game’s community grow on shit connection

#

When EVER has that occurred

void glade
#

Should have just chosen not to live in this region i guess right

#

That was sarcasm in case it wasnt obvious

patent yarrow
#

And the worst part is everyone here who is trying to support them early is just getting stiffed, we can’t participate in events, definitely ain’t farming clips on the ping so what do we have?

lapis peak
void glade
#

I didnt buy a pack specifically because i knew this announcement was coming

#

And now i guess ill just flat uninstall it

lapis peak
#

Also holding off on pack until servers here. Love the game and I'll try keep playing but the mounting frustration makes me just wanna RQ half the time

patent yarrow
#

Yeah same I was ready to drop money on it but not if i’m waiting 5 months for a server

last sky
#

WE DEMAND OCE SERVERS!

pulsar pike
#

@red epoch I've suggested it a few times but is it possible to at least do provisional queueing. E.g. similar to riot where they close queues at off peak times and reopen them. At least that way at the end of the work day when most people will play we can jump on, play and then wait until the next afternoon or something to get better ping .

void glade
#

They could also just run it on a p2p framework

pulsar pike
#

ATM though OCE is a catch 22

void glade
#

They have basically buried oce as an option for now

patent yarrow
#

I remember Naraka had a feature where if you queue and there’s enough OCE players you all get an OCE lovby otherwise you’re put on SEA, even that was fine

red epoch
void glade
#

Unless they do a SIGNIFICANT marketing push for adding oce servers in the future

patent yarrow
#

And that game died in a week lmao

void glade
#

As it is right now the lack of actual concrete reasoning just makes the situation worse on our side

last sky
patent yarrow
#

Seems genuinely like the plan right now

#

And most won’t have even attempted it

lapis peak
#

I don't really care about the reasoning, I would just love more than a "maybe in the future", an idea of timeline in which we can expect the possibility of any kind of OCE servers (provisional or not), or if it's not a serious consideration by the wider dev team then tell us so we can just give up

patent yarrow

Can we fkn pay for themourselves

pulsar pike
#

They aren't

patent yarrow
#

Let OCE players donate

pulsar pike
#

Like its subjective really

patent yarrow
#

Then let it run for a month and see how they feel

last sky
#

24/7 responsive servers definitely ain't super cheap

#

but its 2024, oce shouldn't be left in dust

#

its rare for gaming studio to look at us twice

pulsar pike
#

But I imagine a rough estimate for OCE would be between ~700 USD to like ~1200 a month

#

But someone might be able to give a solid answer

patent yarrow
#

So let us, the players, cover that for a testing ground and we go from there

#

I’d happily throw a couple hundred in

#

Genuinely

pulsar pike
#

I think it comes down to: 30min queue times will kill the region faster than 150ms ping

lapis peak

can we start a gofundme for OCE servers pls?

I'll throw in a hundy

And the idea of being competitive when every other region’s gonna have months of experience ahead of us is out the window

#

All round a shit time being from AUS and liking games

lapis peak
#

If you compare other games total pop vs OCE server counts, the OCE servers on those are around 10% of the total playerbase. Though might be a bit off cause I think those games have SEA -> OCE. Would put the current expectation for OCE peak for this game around 4k which is way more than just 2-3 matches going at a time

#

New World which has specific OCE with server counts on the New World Status website

#

NW ended up hiding their player counts so now they just extrapolate based on historical region data which were real #s

#

They have a 40 player pvp mode as well and prob like only 5-10% of the playerbase even queues for it

#

Still pops regularly just fine

#

I just alt tab in queue and they tend to pop in a few mins

#

Supervive currently has double the peak players, not even counting their own launcher

#

NW did get PS5/XBOX release somewhat recently but the playerbase for those are completely dead

patent yarrow
#

This just reminds me of early LOL, my friends and I played on NA for 2 weeks and said fk that, they drop OCE servers and we’ve played for 12 years, i’m sure there’s many many other groups like us and it’s kinda odd they don’t see that

#

Yea me and my friend group same situation

patent yarrow
#

There’s just no incentive, like I said ranked past even platinum was hard, diamond feels IMPOSSIBLE and I imagine it only gets worse the higher you go, so we just play normal mode on 150 ping for FUN? There’s nothing to do on the game for OCE so why would anyone stay at it for a prolonged period of time

#

No one’s gonna spend money or grind if us getting a server is β€œMAYBE in future”

So we’re just not gonna get one

#

That’s how it looks and you can spin it however you want but that’s the most realistic result

minor skiff
#

It's so conflicting, I want to support the game by playing and spending money on it, but I can't support it when I feel like it isn't/won't support me/us

It's additionally difficult when most would rather wait for better servers before playing, but we won't get better servers unless the player count is high enough. I'm not sure how we can show high player count when it's so difficult to play in the current server state

#

I think a trial weekend or two for OCE would be the most optimal thing to do, or as @pulsar pike mentioned above, maybe just peak times for a week or two as a trial

patent yarrow
#

Definitely agree, all of my gamer friends love the game but don’t want to play at such a disadvantage so they stopped after 3 games

Trialing is our best bet/hope but the team need to understand our perspective before we get there

#

Their responses show they don’t understand it what so ever β€œjust play on the bad ping til we give you a server” isn’t good enough at all

exotic orbit
#

They're alienating any potential new OCE players by stating that local servers are a low priority, which is a downward spiral for their queue health, population concern and the hope for current OCE players to get better ping, since new players = more money + more minimum population requirement for servers, and more money + more players = quicker installation of OCE servers. They are doing everything to NOT get OCE servers imo.

People in the US and Asia have excellent ping, so they would buy stuff in the store. I'm sure if we had OCE servers, AUS/NZ players would be more inclined to also buy stuff in the store.

What do you mean by not listening? They have made a few posts on the very subject and why. I think the only not listening going on is on your side.

Hi, we appreciate the feedback and we’re sorry we don’t have servers in Oceania at this time! As a small independent company (that is not yet profitable) we have to make very specific bets with our time, money, and efforts, and we have to pick our battles carefully and tackle them step-by-step.

New regional servers have a minimum population requirement that we aren’t sure we can hit in every region. OCE is an especially tough problem because, well, it’s so far away from everywhere else - queue health is the biggest concern for us here and we’ve seen much bigger games from much bigger studios struggle to keep populations healthy.

If we can hit sustainability and profitability through our initial launch, we’re absolutely open to exploring more regional options - although the population concern is still very real - but just to explain how we make decisions, even if it’s not the one you want.

Understand this isn’t the answer you want and it’s frustrating to play on high ping - but we want to be honest!

P.P.S. Also: heard on the OCE server (or lack thereof) sadness. Totally understand the negativity; playing on 170 ping is brutal. Just to be honest: our biggest challenge with OCE servers is maintaining a healthy queue population, which affects matchmaking, queue times, etc. Much bigger studios with much bigger games have launched OCE servers and had to shut them down due to low population. Ultimately it’s a risk we can’t yet take as a new, independent studio that isn’t yet profitable. One day we’d like to at least have servers closer to OCE, but we gotta get this plane off the ground first. Thank you to those playing through the ping and supporting us - sorry we don’t have the answer you’re looking for!

#

I mean, they can keep repeating the same line over and over again for those that are not listening I guess.

patent yarrow
#

I’m referring specifically to letting us fund it, they are completely ignoring the idea

#

Don’t chime in right at the end without reading a whole conversation

We’re aware of their bullshit excuses so we’re trying to find an alternative πŸ™‚

#

#

So everything’s okay! 😁

lucid iris
#

Bullshit excuses? Most games don't put out AU servers due to the 1) the cost of server hosting here and 2) the low playerbase in comparison to other regions.

And if you are trying to crowdfund hosting costs you don't need to 'wait for them to listen' to get something together, go to some pledge site and get people to say how much they'd promise to donate, that will show them you actually have something worth looking at.

PS: You going to need to get a fair bit to keep the servers up longer than 3 months but good luck.

gentle pendant
#

what was the last non-mmo game you played that didnt have oce servers

lucid iris
#

pubg, they literally removed the oce servers due to cost and playerbase/queue times being so terrible

gentle pendant
#

sorry i meant launched without them

#

i have no issue with companies removing oce servers once they're dead

crimson fjord
#

Yea, I mean Singapore servers are a start, I think we just need to remain loud so that they dont think once Singapore servers are out, there won't be a need for oce servers. Because from their message it sounds like we're only going to get Singapore servers, nothing more which would be very sad

#

I'm actually surprised you get under 100 ping @lucid iris are you in Australia? Or do u live in a different country?

lucid iris
#

yeah i mostly play mmo games and every one seems to have launched recently with sea servers instead of AU. If they add SG servers that should at least see better go down to 50-100 for aus which is at least an improvement and has a large player base

lucid iris

I'm in NSW and I get 160 ping, granted my ISP routing isn't the best, my friend also in NSW gets 120 to 130

#

routing thru sea is usually dogshit so a vpn helps alot

lucid iris
#

it shows ~88 in the menu, but inagme with the ping stat showing it hovers around 100-110 which is weird

crimson fjord
#

But yea ping effect on playability isn't linear, so I think it's gonna have a larger and larger impact the higher above 100 ms you get

#

Either way, competitively speaking I think everyone would agree once you get to a certain point in skill and opponents the ping for sure will make things frustrating

knotty grail
#

i get all the reasons for and against OCE servers - its hard. But if you want this to be one of the "top dog" competitive games, its gotta have OCE servers sooner rather than later. Have them first and take them away if its not working out

crimson fjord
#

You'd notice it greatly at 90 ms compared to like 30 Ms

#

Agreed

knotty grail
#

most of the top competitve games opened with OCE servers and have maintained. Dota, League, CSGO, etc. Even realm royale opened with them, but due to some insane balance choices the game died

lucid iris
#

oh yeah, i played league when it first came out on NA with 250ms, then on SEA server when it launched at 80ms, then on OCE when we finally got our own servers at 40ms.

Alistair combo went from impossible, to easy, to able to do blindfolded

knotty grail
#

but it depends on your angle, whatever the decision is fine. I just think this game has serious potential to be a top esports contender, so i want to see OCE servers now as a risk

#

wait league opened without OCE? my bad

crimson fjord
#

Yea we didn't get league server till like season 3 or 4

lucid iris
#

yeah, league got GArena/SG servers before we had our own region

knotty grail
#

i remember Garena for Dota 1

#

well if that method works then perhaps not opening with OCE servers is fine

crimson fjord
#

I am with the rest of my oce brothers, frankly I don't think it's as hard as the devs are making it out to be, their insisting on queue health as the reason, not costs, so why not put out a poll asking the oce community

gentle pendant
#

its a different landscape for gaming these days compared to them

#

global playerbase is alot larger

crimson fjord
#

People have posted various solutions

knotty grail
#

i trust the devs, if its hard/expensive then its fine

#

i just think its worth the risk for them

crimson fjord
#

It's 100% worth the risk, we know that

#

But yea they say they are non profitable yet, all the micro transactions will make that change quite quickly

#

I think queue health can be polled to the community

#

Majority of us are ok with and used to longer queues but for better ping

#

People have posted various solutions here already which they are aware of

#

KR got its own server, granted its population is close to double Australia's population but I think if there were oce servers people from surrounding countries would play as well

patent yarrow
#

And as stated multiple times we don't want more than 3 months (read before entering a conversaiton please) we just want even a week or a fkn 2 day wekeend lol and then go from there

# lucid iris Bullshit excuses? Most games don't put out AU servers due to the 1) the cost of ...

idk where everyone gets this idea from tbh. I mean the more I think about it the less I understand the money is a problem argument. Because less player base means less resources both in DTO and hardware.
As stated above they use AWS and half the cost on AWS is DTO, so unless the headless version of the game the serves run is very poorly optimised I don't see reasoning for them to need massive resource intensive servers in OCE.

#

Sure the cost becomes a problem when you are just paying for servers that never get used. But they wouldn't know, and that's the OCE catch 22

#

It's also just an inherit flaw in 40 person lobbies too

kindred gyro

Yeah think I'm there with you, playing with this ping is just a rage-inducing experience and there's little to none communication from the devs so I don't see the point in keeping my hopes up and playing anymore

what is q elf

#

shitting hell i don't get it

patent yarrow
#

Basically until we get a bigger population they won't make the servers but a lot of people don't want to play because we don't have servers so it doesn't look good and the only "confirmation" we've had is that they are looking to "move servers closer" which implies we may not necessarily get them at all

Been trying to communicate all day and suggest crowdfunding on our end but with no response in 24hrs it looks like they just don't really care

but muh queue health

I just dont buy the queue health argument, only times I've had issues with oce queues in games is when it's past 2am or at the top 1% elo at off peak times - which is to be expected if you ask me and totally fine

I don't think OCE will ever get servers since it's a volatile downward spiral for us. Devs are looking at numbers instead of pleas.

I imagine this ping issue is like the devs are expecting the OCE players to punch themselves every time they play the game, when the rest of the world doesn't have to.

And on top of that they expect current OCE players to keep punching themselves while they wait for new players to start punching themselves until they see enough people punching themselves to justify putting us in a punch free zone like the rest of the world.

But they don't understand that OCE players have a limit to how much they can punch themselves until throwing in the towel, hence the volatile downward spiral and OCE not getting servers on a numbers based decision.

Yeah dont think many oce players will keep sticking around punching themselves for another week if we dont have any sort of communication from the devs

I swear every discord I join of a new game (that ends up dead) goes through this same cycle. They release their game and do hella marketing and get hype behind it, then decide the best course of action is to NOT capitalize off the hype and instead wait for a "high player count". The way devs treat OCE servers is almost an indication of how long the game will survive.

This player count they desire will never come, because anyone who tries out the game will quit due to having a significant disadvantage. Those who are super interested in the game will stay, but they will eventually leave when they realize new players aren't coming or get sick of the lag too. This is the moment when the most eyes are on the game, and it's doubtful they will ever have another moment. If they make the commitment and give oce players a place to go to, there will be oce players going to that place.

Instead, we got the equivalent of playing a counter-strike game where everyone gets a full PC setup, but they hand you a controller... Then they say if you find 1000 other people willing to also use a controller, then you MIGHT be allowed to use a mouse and keyboard.

# honest mango keywords "yet"

"one day we'd like to at least have servers closer to OCE" implying that the chances of them giving asia another server in somewhere like Singapore are a lot higher and would be enough for them to write oce off as having a server we can play in.

#

despite us all being on 100+ ping

#

i still play the game even though i am high ping because it is a fun game but its disappointing to see how the devs are going about oce servers. 'lets wait for the oce community to get fed up and stop playing so that one day if we are profitable and decide to give them servers they will be entirely underpopulated and not worth keeping online"

#

there isn't enough marketing or content in supervive to follow a straight or upward user engagement trend like a few other titles. even massively popular games follow downward trends a solid 90% of the time. it seems like the developers are aiming to push out frequent content to hopefully keep bringing in new players while actively stopping new players from anywhere that isnt USA, Asia, Europe. seems a little bit counter intuitive

#

the goal is to bring new players in but while doing so you are forcing other players out. doesn't seem very well though out

Love the game, but man are any of the characters I enjoy near impossible to play on current ping 😒 Would be easy to justify longer queue times with a playable experience.

#

Any sort of infrastructure to support an OCE playerbase to test reception would be a step in the right direction, along with other parts of the world dealing with poor ping.

Maybe do a weeklong Server test in these regions and gauge playerbase off that. I Love this game, I saw it replacing league for me as something competitive to really grind and enjoy, Not going to happen on this ping, and I know how many people share the sentiment.

no it didn't, they just said in the meantime there's no OCE servers

"One day we’d like to at least have servers closer to OCE, but we gotta get this plane off the ground first."

#

"at least closer", you're forgetting the first few words

#

theyd like to do at least closer, not that there won't be an OCE server, but that at the minimum they want one that's easier to connect to

dull violet

#

It's that they want/intend to long as the game survives that long, they made it pretty clear with "we gotta get this plane off the ground first"

#

and while yes, some hateful comments likely won't stop an eventual OCE server, it also isn't helping matters and only contributes to discussions getting locked and people getting punished

it isn't a good look either way

it's not a good look to exclude oce for no good reason

I was mistaken, that was the SA server's primary reason

it's a gamble to throw servers up without knowing what a population would look like, good product or not

they wouldnt want to risk a region being able to play

because there has to be for the game to exist in the first place, they just chose the safest regions with the largest populations

it's ultimately a safer bet than OCE

#

not to say OCE shouldn't get servers, I hope you guys do

its so unsafe that only 95% of games can manage it

the risk is that they dont adjust mm algorithm properly

they may need to hire a chief mm coordinator of oce server

they can make rough guesses based on whatever research they have/general populations

NA and EU are significantly larger regions, so there's almost certainly going to be more players there, it's ultimately safer to launch there

they released something about OCE servers has nobody seen it?

#

From Supervive roadmap:
P.P.S. Also: heard on the OCE server (or lack thereof) sadness. Totally understand the negativity; playing on 170 ping is brutal. Just to be honest: our biggest challenge with OCE servers is maintaining a healthy queue population, which affects matchmaking, queue times, etc. Much bigger studios with much bigger games have launched OCE servers and had to shut them down due to low population. Ultimately it’s a risk we can’t yet take as a new, independent studio that isn’t yet profitable. One day we’d like to at least have servers closer to OCE, but we gotta get this plane off the ground first. Thank you to those playing through the ping and supporting us - sorry we don’t have the answer you’re looking for!

posted it just incase nobody else has

once they make some money they;; essentially add to servers for us

#

addressed the concerns? what? how naive can you be, they basically said after the game takes who knows how long to meet some abitrary numbers they have in their heads, they will think about moving a server CLOSER to oce

#

give us numbers

#

stop giving us vague answers

#

also, frankly we're talking on the internet, if people get their feelings hurt because someone said some rude words to them, tell them to drink a cup of cement and harden up

trail sapphire
#

ok but like even if numbers were given, and im assuming they are not close to where they would need to be, they would need to exceed that number for longer than just a couple of days, otherwise your just spending tons of money on servers for a small population that wont recoup the costs.

crimson fjord
#

If we had numbers that would totally make their view point way more understandable

#

a lot of us here also are spending money on the game TO support the devs

It would at least give us the full picture, we'd be a lot more quiet if we knew we were way off the mark.

idk man, i feel like you just be completely transparent say OK OCE we need X numbers and we are currently at X

ok and if they said we need x numbers and are no where close then what?

crimson fjord
#

you'd get almost all of us to shut up

#

that's what would happen

kindred gyro
#

Are they expecting OCE to reach X numbers or the Global Population of the game? Cause there wont be any growth for oce on 150+ ping

trail sapphire
#

ok look at if from a devs point of view, if the numbers were given and its nowhere close, I could imagine that some would still not be happy and the new issue would be those numbers arent realistic and then it would just turn into everyone is against oce in some way

crimson fjord
#

No it would not

#

that is such an exaggeration

trail sapphire
crimson fjord
#

There is no reason for the Devs to NOT release the numbers if they are way off mark unless they are thinking along the lines that the oce players would stop playing if there was no hope entirely

#

which is not the case

#

we know the games run off AWS

#

people know how much it takes to run servers, if QUEUE health is an issue

#

POLL the OCE community

#

ask them if we would be OK with longer queues

#

PROVISIONAL queues is another solution

#

oce server active ONLY during peak times

#

a lot of people have proposed ideas here

I got a work meeting to attend to, but hopefully my fellow oce can argue on my behalf whilst being tame as possible 🀣

Hi @trail sapphire! Appreciate your input on the situation and the work you do within the discord. Could we hear your thoughts on what you think would be most optimal for us to do? As fans of the game, we want to support it but are finding it very difficult to. Is there anything that comes to your mind on what we should do?

trail sapphire
# minor skiff Hi <@189822118714671104>! Appreciate your input on the situation and the work yo...

I'm a dev in no way, nor do i know costs or anything. But I look at it as if i was an investor, would it be worth it at the moment, for a game that is still in beta, to put money into servers that have some history of not having a big population to recoup what your paying for them. Remember the game is still in BETA, and im not saying they wont come. But personally i think yall would need a community outside of the discord, whether its another discord, reddit, ect, that shows hey we have a large group of people from oce that want to play, as well as numbers they could see on their end in game stat wise that back up the numbers in your community constantly trying to play from your region. Like they know you guys want to play but for where the game is at it development state i can understand why they are hesitant on putting money in the servers. But they all understand your frustrations and want an oce to thrive in the community for supervive as well. Its just a matter, in my own opinion, if its the right time for the risk atm.

keen vigil
#

^ Also they're not profitable as a company yet. So a server that is unlikely for immediate financial return is not a smart move with where TC is right now from a pure finances standpoint.

trail sapphire
#

and they hear all of you, believe me.

keen vigil
#

I wouldn't be surprised if in a years time when they're looking more stable as a company they make a huge marketing push for OCE servers

I just think it would be better to see more compassion here for the game rather than being upset and being frustrated (while its understandable) so they know how much the game means to yall

Gotcha! We understand what you're saying and know that it might be a risk and that we don't have the biggest community compared to other regions. We've had plenty of discussion over what the actual costs are and what figures might look like but these are mostly speculative. I think what a lot of people are hoping for is someone to work with us on what needs to be done for our servers to become a reality. Whether it be a specific Reddit page or a poll or our own discord. We want to show our care and support but some are finding it to be a struggle with how we have to play the game.
I think the community is just looking for a little hope, a light (dev) to guide us on a path that we can stick to so we know we're playing and paying for our and the companies benefit.

Some have pointed out that it's hard to show support in the current state we have to play in and I also agree with this. A competitive game like this one doesn't favour those who are running on 150ms ping. How can we go to our friends and say "You should totally play this kickass game that's come out, it's a blast! Just ignore the fact that you'll be versing people at a better advantage than you and that your character will rubber band a bit, but you'll love it!"

Yall got no business acumen. It’s not just about pop in OCE servers it’s about where they’re allocating capital vs returns and growth they get. If investing in NA servers results in greater growth why waste time in OCE. Especially when funding and loans are expensive currently.

#

An actual recommendation: nothing moves the needle more than $ spent. If at 150 ping OCE is dropping more $ than NA or Europe then it would make sense to reevaluate.

That & play time ofc

You're right! Financially it may be better to grow the NA region than to put resources anywhere else. We only hope that they think about where some of their community is and how they want to treat fans of their games. I think if it was a company like EA or Blizzard, they'd for sure take a route like that if they could. But I think these guys are different in wanting to engage and work for the community (At least based on what's been said and shown online)

I would love to spend money on this game to show support, I just can't knowing that my support won't go towards the benefit of myself and others within the community. For example, if you had to purchase the game, I wouldn't buy it knowing I can't play within my region

#

It's a difficult situation and we mainly just hope for a formal discussion with a Dev just to discuss a potential goal for the future

#

I keep saying "we" in hoping others are understanding where I'm coming from. If not then I guess I'm in the wrong and to disregard what I'm saying

On another note, this game does have the potential to be big, but you don't only need the momentum and people playing it, you need people viewing it. OCE servers are going to help with that. It's not just us playing that's going to help, it's us viewing. Tournaments, streamers, events, etc., and those views in turn will help with attention - which the game definitely deservers. If OCE players can't play or be involved, we most likely will not watch. If you want to be one of the big dogs, you need to open with OCE servers, or get something sorted soon. I hope this game does well, but the servers need to have a larger coverage for widespread adoption of this game.

Even I must say, I was big on "guys lets just hold out and OCE servers will come in time"

But recently I have been launching the game, keen to play, I might play 1 or 2 games then inevitably die to some bs 100 ping moment and I just close the game. Pretty depressing considering how much I had been enjoying the game since Steam Next Fest.

But I shouldn't have to pay for a third party application to semi enjoy the game

I'm with you there. It's a set of unfortunate circumstances

mortal vortex

Just sadly one of those circumstances that it's going to push more players from the games and the "queue health" they are supposedly trying to protect is going to suffer because of it

so many players who are currently pushing through the ping but eventually we will get sick of it and stop playing

#

I'm not sure what kind of analytics they have at TC but I'm almost wondering if it would be beneficial to make a petition tallying every oce player you can get to sign it? Just to put a number to the name. Right now I think at least in the discord there's a severe lack of information around how many oce players there currently are waiting for support and pushing through the ping.

mortal vortex

Either way it would show considerable initiative form the oce playerbase. It could be one step towards getting those servers online

It was likely an afk bot purge. We don't really have any evidence to know whether or not it actually was active players.

Until any official word we can't take anything at face value about the "decline" of the game.

Well Jesus Christ 20k players is terrible

#

And they expect people to believe they have had 1m players?

With a 47k player peak

#

No more than 4.7% of the total people that have played this game have been online at the same time….

#

I find that very VERY hard to believe

keen vigil
#

1m unique makes sense considering the event that next fest was. Probably lots of installs and uninstall from players who gave it a try and decided it wasn't for them.

You're confusing concurrent with total. And aren't those stats for the whole lifetime of the game? Closed alphas and all?

You cannot force growth

And the devs won’t even respond to theirs

Would it be that hard to update OCE with a timeline? Would it be that hard to post announcements more frequently?

This is the critical phase for the games longevity and they haven’t made an announcement in over 1 week

keen vigil
# keen vigil Sorry let me rephrase

Well I was going g to rephrase and then discord bugged so I'll just give a summary:

1m total installs is large. People log in and out all 24 hours of the day every day. The chances of a larger percentage of them being online together at any given point is infinitesimally small.

#

I would expect at least 15%

#

4.7% is a joke mate

#

Total installs during the lifetime of the game. Including a major steam event where thousands of people may have e tried the game and figured out it wasn't for them. They still count as unique players.

#

The actual install base is likely significantly smaller

#

I feel as though the way I feel is shared by a lot of the community here in OCE and I’m sure other pockets of communities have similar resentments due to the fucking terrible communication and embarrassing marketing strategy

#

Whoever is making those decisions and whoever is in charge of communicating to their customer base should be fucking sacked

#

Because they have done a terrible job

The aggressive language you're using is likely having the opposite effect that you think it might have on getting a response. I know that in a similar situation the last part of my community I'd want to engage with is folks making such inflammatory remarks.

I know you are likely a very reasonable and intelligent person, but saying "They've done a terrible fucking job" and "they should be fucking sacked" does not communicate that you are willing to have a productive conversation. It reads as reactionary and aggressive.

#

I get the frustration, I have been having issues since ob launch and have heard next to nothing about them. But this isn't the way man. Reading messages like this isn't going to help them improve your experience, it's just going to make them want to ignore you more.

Oh well I don’t care

#

I’ve quit

#

Like most people are doing

#

Good luck to them and everyone else

#

Will come back if they can give us better ping

#

2024

Joke

#

Marvel rivals has Oce

#

Might go play that

#

like myself

#

i would have purchased a supporter pack had those servers existed

#

but i cant warrant spending money on a game that fails to deliver an acceptable ping

#

and with the way the monetisation is in supervive currently. i dont see it becoming profitable either

#

people are fed up of FOMO stores with 3 types of currency and then they decided to release the beta with exactly that?

#

alot of worrying decisions made by the devs in my opinion

dull lily
#

Yep

#

Fun game

#

Ruined by devs with poor oversight

ill add on to this a personal experience to back my first statement. Myself and a group of 9 other friends all hopped on to supervive when the marketing boom was happening a few weeks ago. We played for a few nights, had fun with the base game, got better, started noticing the rubberbanding in dashes and skill shots and got a bit down. I decided to wait and see if there would be a dev response due to the sheer amount of people asking for an OCE server as i felt their response for SA would mean it was likely we could get a server in some capacity only for the devs to mention OCE as a SECONDARY footnote to a larger announcement and basically say "we hear you but we dont think you will make us any money so you dont get servers"

#

its rather disheartening

#

this group by the way for a bit of context is made up of long time league of legends players, who in total will have spent somewhere in the realm of ~$20k - $30k across the years we have played, one of those people having an account with every skin in the game unlocked.

Totally agreed and relatable as well. The difference is my friends and I actually did pay for the supporter packs as we wanted to support the devs because the game is actually really fun, and everyone feels like they can hop in and enjoy casually, or some of us queue ranked because we want to tryhard then take a step back and play with other friends who just wanna play casually.

Unfortunately they also get understandably frustrated with rubber banding and skills not registering. Honestly one of my mates is super into Brall and legit bought his skin day one but he feels dejected once he found out he can't even swing as fast as other bralls can on good ping because of how Brall's empowered AA is coded and how higher ping makes it impossible to use Bralls empowered AAs at max potential. This has been documented in one of the feedback threads.

It feels awful to all of us where now suddenly we can't even play the characters we want without being severely handicapped.. We were already handicapped due to the ping and now we are more handicapped on certain hunters because their kit is inhibited by ping as well. It's just a shit situation..

I would love for the Devs to just release OCE servers, but I understand where they are coming from. That's why I am pushing for the Devs to just give us numbers on how far off the mark we are.

I feel that majority of us would be ok with being told that we need X numbers and we are currently at Y numbers therefore we are no where close to the numbers feasible for a server open only during peak oce time (5pm to midnight GMT 10/11) and all of us would accept it and move on from this topic.

#

also with the new announcement surrounding the #⭐│starred-for-devs channel does that mean we can all just ⭐ "OCE SERVERS!" comments?

#

if so uhhhh

#

OCE SERVERS!

crimson fjord
#

Unfortunately I don't think that will apply to this thread as this is really just a venting place for us at this point and I don't think the devs want to read the comments here

#

let's do it with one or two. Spamming the channel isn't a good idea imo

void glade
#

ranked arenas got spammed like 5 times lol

So we should also clog the channel? Let's not abuse a good thing, it could ruin it for everyone.
