    Your computer seems to have about half the latency to US-East as your phone does. Normally I would say this points to WiFi interference (microwaves, crowded airspace) - have you tried changing the channel on your access point if it's a crowded area?

    Well they should consider it since the indian player base has increased in number and is constantly increasing. Infact i see mostly US players or indian players everywhere in the game and if US people are getting good ping why not us? I cant tell u how much the game has started lagging and i believe most indian players will leave the game once they got to know that it isnt their phone but the servers that are creating lag. Also it creates unequal environment for players around the world.

    So from what i understand from ur post the mmo games restrict the player ( to regional server) according to his region just because they don't want servers of any region to be overloaded or increase its data traffic since they have such a huge player base but battle bay doesn't have that huge of a player base.
    What I understand is they didn't except the player base from Asia alone to be that huge which leads a large population to hit limited servers which causes high data traffic hence high ping if they roll out some new servers for Asia so that everyone doesn't hit same servers and load is balanced then data traffic will be reduced hence better ping for us. There will not be any need to lock player via specific region

    It's a trade-off. If you have one giant server farm as Battle Bay does, then players all over the world can compete with and against each other, but some of them will have a latency disadvantage. EVE Online does this as well, but it is a less latency-sensitive game. If you have multiple smaller farms in each region, players are divided by region but each have a good experience playing in their own sandbox.

    Probably not. I'm not a Rovio employee so I can't tell you what meetings went on beforehand or right now to look at player count by region.

    I'm also going to pull out the bolded part there - high traffic does not mean high ping. If you have high traffic, you get a bigger pipe and faster servers to handle them. High ping is a result of the length of time it takes a packet to go from your phone in India, through the network switches and routers across the Atlantic Ocean, and over to the US-East datacenter. Gigabits a second can move in and out, but there is a delay.

    If Rovio opts to roll out new servers for Asia and the EU, and divide the player base, then each individual region would have better performance - but you would only be able to play with other players in India/Oceania/SEA region most likely. Same for EU players - they would have to decide "do I stay on the NA server with my friends, or do I migrate to the EU one for better ping?"

    This means US people will always have advantage over us like they do now. This also means its a violation of rovio's fair play policy and they should include a clause for asian players that says "hey peeps sorry but you are always going to be dominated by players of other countries which are closer to our server". You know what before this update i dont use to get this much lag and i almost touched 3k infamy with my mk5's and t4 rare gears fighting against people with mk6 and t4 epics and t2 legendaries. This was fun for me because i could actually use my skill against those high power duds but now i have same weapons and could not achieve much infamy because of lags and 70% of time my shots not counting. Sometimes torps hit me out of nowhere and sometimes group of ship appears suddenly and roast me to death. Now tell me how am i supposed to play or should i just quit the game which i love so much and invested so much of my time into. I am just hanging on a thread here.....ready to fall any moment

    Same is happening with me.
    1. It takes almost 30 seconds to load into Battle after team is matched and when I get in, Battle is already going on.
    2. A torp came out directly through the opposite side where enemies we're and I couldn't see it till it hit me.
    3. When I checked the ping, it was 800.
    4. I was facing a lot of lag and frame drops while I was in battle.
    No matter what, the best is given to US players.....No satisfaction for rest of the players all over the world.
    I hope you are reading this @Miika @Zeus .
    Or else we Indians will be forced to leave this game.

    It's not just happening in India but all over the world. This game, still yet to breach 1 year of global launch has "ms" problems in certain areas in our world. This is a disadvantage for all players with this issue, and having bad ping especially in a real time server game cannot be allowed.

    Hey guys - it’s fairly simple - the further you are from the server the more likely you’ll get high ping and lag etc.

    Server is in the US.

    There’s not much we can “solve” here as that’s just how tech works.

    @ceffeinatedChris already explained the details.

    We are not currently planning to divide the player base.

    This will happen no matter what the devs do to try and fix this. Because battle bay is global, expect delays and problems to happen.

    That will not happen if they seperate the player base.

    They have to divide the player region based as quoted by caffeinated Chris to fix this problem but they don't plan to do that anytime soon.
    So yeah we will continue to get such f***** up pings read the comment of grim repair above she replies for devs

    Wow.. I guess we just have to deal with it then.. damn..:oops: I suggested this game to my friend's and they wouldn't play this game just because of such high ping..

    I mean if my phone gets a little bit heated.. the game lags like crazy because of such high ping.. I have 6 GB ram by the way ,and have no problem in playing any other HD games in my phone except Battle Bay :-* And I didn't expect this from ROVIO =_=

    Totally agreed! The same thing happens with me while I'm having great WiFi speed. Problem is in the game.
