    why the hell should I play on servers were i cannot communicate with anyone? That's literally working around the problem instead addressing the problem.

    Pretty sure the Euros and the Aussies speak English. Perhaps you'd like them to speak American instead?

    Not to mention a lot of american servers have little communication and little teamwork most of the day.

    I am glad @Aeglos cleared up latency =/= packet loss or connection quality at least.


    Put simply: Higher latency only provides an advantage to the attacking / "first to come around the corner" player. However, that very same player is at a proportional disadvantage when escaping the room.

    Whatever you want to call it lag or packet loss you're basically confirming what i was trying to say.. Yes they may be at a disadvantage when escaping the room, but simply changing their playstyle to be super aggressive makes them that "first to come around the corner" player in most situations...


    Also @Aeglos the last time i joined an EU server they were speaking what sounded like German. Couldn't understand a word of it..

    Usually the players on Euro servers speak English. Only on Russian servers they only speak Russian. Those are the new French servers.

    Btw. the next logical step would be to remove the whitelist status from the ns2large servers @ hive.
    Counterstrike is doing the same by let people only rankup on official servers.

    And blocking some servers cause own mods but still whitelist the ns2large wich are "modded" aka hacked to an level where they are unsupported makes no sense overall.

    If you want to do ranked stat tracking make it only apply to a competitive 6v6 environment and leave casual stats to the rest, having server favoritism for stat tracking isn't going to do the community any favors when a large portion of a community still prefers large playercounts.

    Well, people can still play there but cant progress there rank.
    That how CS:Go handle this.
    The community servers with strange mods are there, people play and having fun on them but you cant progress.
    If you want to rankup you need to play on official servers.
    And isnt NS2 official supporting only up to 24 slots? Here we go.

    And i heard that a large playercount is still thinking that rookies need training and mentors. But the bootcamp update and calegos stream prove that they are wrong.
    Maybe its the same with the "large playercounts prefer large servers"? Who knows.

    In the past new players tend to join these "rookie traps" cause the good players didnt play on them and personal mistakes didnt have that much influx on the overall game.
    One argument always was: New people can learn the basics there easier.
    In times of rookie only servers this point didnt exist anymore.

    So lets handle this like CS:Go:
    Unsupported mods and serversizes should not beeing whitelisted.
    A info text @ mapload should inform the people if the chosen server is sending stats or not and the reason why the server isnt whitelisted for example.

    Whats the difference between 6v6 vs 12v12 statwise and why can't it be 16v16+? It's already inconsistent if you're including more than one type of playercount so this is nothing more than alienating a portion of your community because it doesn't fit into your view of how the game is meant to be played.

    I doubt they will speak English the whole time. Moreover I won't be able to have situational awareness when teammates speak to each other in other than English.

    Lastly, my reply was regarding the suggestion of playing on Russian, Chinese, Brazilia servers. Further, the Russians speak russian on their servers.

    To sound like Trump he would need to say something bad about a sub-group of people and then say he has a lot of friends in that sub-group. i.e. "Calego's are bad for our country. They steal jobs. They are criminals. A lot of my friends are Calego's and they agree. Calego's are bad for America."

    Do note the short simple sentences, and imagine them in Trumps voice.

    Thread derailment continued.
