So the other day my gf insisted we play half-life 2 deathmatch, which we hadn’t done in a long time. We logged on and started killing, and we were getting totally pwned, between being out of practice and being confused by the controls (too used to PE).
So it got me thinking about PE PVP. There is absolutely no way i could ever be a decent PK’er because i live in the US. HL2 servers are all over the place, and its no problem to find one close to me where i can get a nice low ping. this isnt possible in PE, all the servers are in sweden… correct me if im wrong?
I’ve messed around with PK a little bit, and i find it completely frustrating because of the lag issue. So am i right in thinking that people in europe have a much better chance at PK than i? say im fighting someone from denmark, sweden, a country close to mindark headquarters. they will more than likely completely pwn me because my response time is crippled.
So im wondering if, in the future, we could get PE servers in multiple geographical locations, so players from the US have much less problems with lag…
i dunno. just thinking out loud, i could be way off with the system setup. just my 2 pecs. not complaining, thats just the way it is.
Either we would have to have seperate worlds, with each one in seperate from the other but the same in terms of geographical terrain, mobs ect, ect but then you loose the one “big” world concept so there would be multiple owners of treasure island ect, ect. This is cheap to implement
Or they could have it so that servers placed in diffrent countries continously syncronise with the main server in sweeden and then distribute it to the clients that connect to the server, this would retain the concept of one big world. So there would (as there is now) only one treasure island and one owner. This would be rather expensive to implement, considering bandwidth costs.
Either way I dont think MindArk are going to do anything about geographical servers until they get a much wider (active) user base.
Pity the poor people who have to play PE from Aussie land though!

while it could make the ping equal for everyone, it would also make it worse than it is now (for everyone).
besides, most of the more famous PKs are from the American continent anyhow
I htink all it takes to be good or even decent at PK ni Pe is money and lots of it..
with a mod fap, EON, maddox 4 or DOA with dante, as-147 or imk2 with dante/EA-15 and ml-35Me or jungle/desert stalker all with dante and you could pwn most of the time even with fairly low skills.
With skills you would just have a much better chance against uber PKers like skalman or pornstar
Even better if you can get evade and dodge chipped real high along with the supporting skills and you can kick ass even if you were noob in weans skills with that equipment.
All it takes is being able to outfap or out dodge/evade your opponent and have enough time to get some shots in of your own.
if you dont have that.. then it just takes well co-ordinated teamwork (kinda like a huge group of folks with axes can hunt araneatrox)
For example a well co-ordinated team of folks (say 6-12 people) each with foxtrot ME’s can do hella lot of damage. Even pornstar cant take that kind of assault for long.
The best way to go with teamwork wise would be to have a group of people who you skill in tactics with (by hunting big stuff) and use teamspeak for command and control. Then take the team to the rig for actual live practice
Can even post someone at the rig who stays there as a “ghost” but in contact with the team via teamspeak to provide tactical information on your opponents
For large engagements like landgrab or major rig raid you can include mindforce users who have wormhole and revive capabilities in order to “get the troops back to the front” as quickly as possable.

yeah i was kinda thinking about that when i wrote the original post… do you guys do anything special to decrease your ping? i mean, im speaking from personal experience, the lag is just too bad to make pk anywhere near possible for me… i just find it frustrating.
