anyone knows where this Miller server is located ?? edit: i guess Connection quality is more important...
So after 1 week of fixing ~roughly 36hours combined downtime (for some players) i get a 500ping with a poor connection good stuff
Miller's pings have always been a bit higher. Last month they are ordinarily over 200ms which is bad but it's still at the borders of the gameplay. But this week the game is unplayable at all. If I manage to get in the game, I'm welcomed by crazy pings going over 160000 (yeah that's one-hundred-thousand!). People are warping, land vehicles are flying... Now even the launcher gave up, I keep getting black window or half-loaded menu. I consider my patience great but I'm getting sick of this.

Yep, Miller unplayable. Getting pings of 200 through to 3000-4000. Massive spikes, 2-3 second delays in actions, enemies teleporting from one place to another instantly etc etc. Something is badly wrong.
I tried to play at Miller yesterday but it was impossible. Connectioin quality was poor-bad and the ping was one of the highest I've seen since alpha. The thing is that this has been continous. When its' not Cobalt it's Miller. I won't recommend this game to anyone.
What bothers me the most is that there has been no official reply to this issue, except some post on reddit that left the impression it was a small problem to a small part of the community and dependant on the ISP of people. The problem is rather anoying and the game is unplayable on Miller, people rubberbanding like crazy, no hit markers, 4-5 seconds delay on terminals, enter/exit/hotdropping, shooting right through enemies. Please do not act as if this was a minor problem, when almost the entire server pop cant play properly because of server issues. It happened after a patch, and I also play several games with servers in the US and EU, and I have no problems at all. It would be better to be straight forward and tell the community what is going on on these official forums, instead of vague and obscure statements on reddit, claiming that it could also be the ISP. No. ist not the ISP. Its on your end. Just because you wish it to be the ISPs doesnt magically solve the problem. Please be more informative and stright forward, your current information policy is insulting to your community. Knowing exactly whats going on would in fact help us to cope with it and make waiting for a solution easier. This would benefit you as company as well, as you could avoid rumours and speculations easily by just telling it how it is. Unless you are in such a deep mess that peope will instantly unsub and uninstall the game if you tell them, of course. If you were trying to keep customers in the dark as long as possible before the inevitable end, I could understand your hesitation to tell the truth completely.
..absolutely unplayable atm ..ah well , since months , especially on weekends. lucky me , ps2 isn't the only one game worth to playing.
Miller unplayable for me too. 300ms to 3000ms no point even trying to play. I lasted 10 mins. Wanted to work on my NS11-C auraxium so I can finally unlock the Trac-Shot, but I guess I'll play Starcraft instead today. I'm not the kind of person who rages on a game for having issues, but I find is sad that this is turning people away from Ps2 and slowly killing the game. A couple of weekends of this is enough for most people to say, "screw this I'll just play Battlefield." Which is a huge shame.
I've just been in Miller (Sunday afternoon UK time) and my ping peaked at 2628, and was jumping wildly between mid 200s and 2k+ If I press F to cloak I actually cloak about 5 seconds later. Totally unplayable.
As usual it makes no difference if its a well known company or some unknown company As soon as the profits been made they start annoying the players, ignoring problems, ignoring bugs etc so they move on to the new games the company provides and increase their profit Why do I never spend money on online games? Why should I when the end result is always the same, lots spent for my enjoyment only to be ruined by downgraded servers, lack of communication with the community, lack of bug fixing Its a sad period in gaming recently - Money is all that matters when in the past companies thought customers first then money and they still made plenty of money along with a repeat customer for other games they provided now its just play it until it gets bad then move on to the next
yeah ... i started playing firefall because of horrible connection to miller/cobalt and the ping there is 58ms all the time
I'm searching for a good game to replace ps2 until they fix latency and bad performance, does firefall come with open world pvp? do you have massive battles etc?
mostly with npc called chosen ... and the fights are big and challanging from time to time during warfronts (but this is off-topic)
on miller that's strange played for 2 hours good including while a full alert, and suddenly at 1am got the warp/high ping pb.
This weekend it has been ~60 - 4500 ping (randomly happening and moving between good and bad connection), which is basically unplayable. Still at least it is better than last week where it was 150 - 150,000 ping.
