[even more!] Is it possible, probably in my life to see an asia/asia pacific server (including australia?)
lun, 07/16/2012 - 05:43
Yes I know this has been pointed out nearly 1/0 times but I still wanna say, in any chance Asia pacific will get a server, just like Europe? Well BTW HONG KONG have their own server, banning IPs within Taiwan and HK just to force players to play at GAMECYBER. ALONG WITH their brilliant translations such as 'storm driver' they translated 'driver' into an actual person, as in a career a peron who 'drives' making a gun look like a car? Or mist TANKS into actual TANKS tha can shoot and run over poor kids playing ld with 1 bar? This game is nearly unplayable in Australia, in maps we get lag spikes, that fine I'm a gunner I know how to troll around shooting mobs without them hurting me, yes I do get slags hitting me in shields and spanked by trolljans before seeing the 'smash' animation, but thats fine, as long as the game is playable, and with a bit of 'skill' 1 bar is meaningless. I mean the latency isn't apparent unless there are external factors, such as it's raining, I live in an old suburb in Australia, we get telstra copper wires running underneath our house therefore rain really matters.
But when it comes to lockdown lol, complete chaos. If I'm lucky, lag will not result in anything that effects gameplay, such as sometimes i still get killed by someone who's not on the screen or seeing animations after getting killed, fair enough because I'm Aussie and getting tortured by lag is kind of inavitable. Well if I'm unlucky, such as it's raining, my parents are using skype, i Don't play LD at all, because all i can see is players spammed out everywhere, running through walls, opponents running in OUR ready room for some reason and nice triple+ GF swings that kills me without me even noticing. Also polaris spammers always own me, 6 shoots from 1 gun wow.
Recently I heard from a friend who lives in Hong Kong, complaining about SK not allowing him to create new accounts forcing him to join Gamecyber's Spiral Knights, he had to use a VPN thing to register new accounts, this is like sticking a gun in one's face calling the person 'go there, belong there!' Whats the point of doing this? The next step is possibly banning all IPs from HK and Taiwan (thank god not mainland China because I have to go there after High School Certificate test) which all greedy companies do (at least in that area, sigh).
http://sk.gamecyber.net/sub/notices/2012-06-15_n1.html Here is gamecyber's webpage, where's our asia server? I think playing on an Asian server will get me at least 2 bars instead of constant 1, or is SK really gonna be separated, one Asia group and the rest of the world including other players from Japan, India, Australia ect playing on a red dot? This is so funny. Why will OOO give permission for someone to run SK in HK instead of simpily giving Asia a server for all? The answer is apparent.
And in addition just for fun, for those who know a bit Chinese can try changing steam's language to Chinese, either simplified or traditional (the tranlations are in traditional CNS), look through your own or friend's SK inventory and have a good laugh. That's what I enjoy after lagging like a headless fly. :P
Still if someone can possibly answer my question, when will Asia (SEGA is Japanese company lololol the irony) or at least Australia get a server, actually a server in any part of this region will be fine. I love SK, I'm not gonna quit just because of lag.
ok now for some lol translations, (to be honest it is coming out better than the old ones, no more 'deconstructor' bombs translated into 'military ships' that run on sea and smash invaders, especially whiniy kids like me <3
http://imgur.com/82m60 vog cub HAT
http://imgur.com/ti6Cb vig cub COAT
As you can see they show the same name, which is 'fire baked hat' lol, nothing to do with vog cubs, gamecyber translaters probably saw the set is in fire and assumed that was the result of an oven or BBQ.
http://imgur.com/YFiW5 storm DRIVER
Here it says storm driver, but 'driver' has more than one meaning, they turned it into the person 'driving' something rather than an actual gun! lmao I can drive storm, I'll punish those who decided to give me 19/20 for my English essay with lightning.
http://imgur.com/OB811 shiverMIST buster
http://imgur.com/P6j6A Venom Veiler
lolz it says 'shivering mist cannon' for shiver and 'poison snake cannon' for VV, i didn't know SK has cannons? Time to pick them up, load it and blast vanaduke out of the clockworks, btw where's my RPG, I'd rather use an RPG! :p
http://imgur.com/7ak4u MIST TANK
wth is this 'smoke grenade' as it says in CNS, we havs smoke grenades? Time to throw some at those gun puppies to blind them and maybe smash them with our shivering mist cannons. Below it says 'fill your smoke grenades, one use only!' wow in SK we have smoke grenade bars, special ability, more effective than niTROLLnomes!
http://imgur.com/V2Sap Plague needle
Saying something like 'desease/cancer needle giant cannon' i mean the first bit makes perfect sense, but wut 'giant cannon'? use autogun instead it makes sense and the translations doesn't have to be 100% based on original English text.
http://imgur.com/r8ciN super blaster
Saying 'sword of super impulse wave' making no sence at all, first its not a sword nonetheless valiance has a small 'swordlike tip', and whats with the 'impulse wave' it's a gun not a nuke bomb or any weird minecraft circuits such as clocks designed to lag the hell out of old computers.
Screenshots provided by my friend, he's currently loling and crying at retardely clever translations on GAMECYBER SK:

Atmosphere energy can (restorezz all energeeeeee) <<--- 10 digits of CE?
Nice, sexy atmosphere energy cans, just like dah coke, u open it and u drink it, but too bad its the air! the physically long! dohmah!
BTW according to my friends HK server is open today, my friend from china mainland got 3 bars, I'll get 2 probably (but hell no my cute UVs! my friends!)

Apparently when you click on your name when in a team, it says (top to bottom) "team options (fair enough), lock party (yep), "LEVEL YOURSELF UP" (that has nothing to do with go solo) and leave team.
Obviously we know that going solo results all heat loss, which is the opposite of their genius translations. And we all know in SK there's no leveling features of a character (we are not pokemon), so their translations doesn't make sense at all. Inaccurate, wrong, unreliable...)

This made my day:
It says: Unknown command /help. Use /help to list all commands.
Nice noobs will just keep on typing /help.

"terms of service"
But they used the word "service" incorrectly, they don't even know proper chinese, a "契约" occurs between lets say: an owner and a slave, or in fantasy games, a character and a summoned monster. WTH so whoever is playing on their servers are whether slaves or monsters.

Well let's all give more
Well let's all give more support to Three Rings then! Come on guys, let's all go P2P & then Three Rings will prosper into a big big company in which they can add servers to other countries because obviously, right now, the building they have isn't even as big as an apartment tenancy! Not to mention of their other games that need attending because yes, other people play those other games! And not to mention, they need the rest of the money to pay their bills! YES! Their little skinny wallets are in need of green paper to eat! Just look at their bad arsze website.

Dear god, no. Please let us
Dear god, no. Please let us choose language. I'm NOT playing Spiral Knights in Chinese just because I'm in Hong Kong.
Edit: Oh god. I read the OP again and now I realize what happened. They have sold the rights to run the game in Asia to someone else... meaning they will not install a server, not until that license ends.
I'm not starting over on a new server with a new account, just to get better ping... I have played more than a year here.

:)
the answer that makes me happy: delete the connection indicator texture from sk folder, never 1bar! Or change the texture's names, 3bar->1bar then enjoy '3bars' :3
Yes when I'm raging I do accuse OOO as being racist, xenophobic not making us servers x)
->yukari:
if you laughed at dat, you'll laugh the hell out at the previous translations <3
golden light holy sword for DA (childish name just like the translters)
high level monstrous sword for GF (wth)
mini atmosphere tank for mini mist tanks (tank for vehile, not container)
high-tech metal deconstructor for heavy decon bomb (deconstructor -> somehow they turned it into a military ship name, dunno why, neva heard of deconstruction ships b4)
giant angry cannon for big angry bomb.... well almost all bombs/busters were translated into cannons.
And still radiant sun shards ->light emitting shards of sun, as if RSS shoot photons.
Heat magnifier for heat amp, (guys u don't need to buy them anymore, just get a magnifier from local shops and enjoy having heaps of heat! I should say the translaters are all pros, having 30degree angle under x2 magnifier will give 60degree <3 according to their translations)

yep money is everything, from wut i've heard gamecyber is as greedy as tencent (biggest yet greediest social network company in china mainland, at least thats what my friends said) is :)
they'll probably, or eventually ban all IPs from HK and TW not allowing them to access american servers, then HK,TW players need to rely on a proxy or vpn, sigh.

DAMMIT~
The Asia/Chinese server is independent. You cannot play on it simply thought changing the settings.
A new account is required :(
So...not many ppl will be switching over I guess...

Well
I do live in australia the latency is soooooo bad. But i have learnt how to work with recon gunner quite well even because of the delay, considering i only use umbra (still havent tried status condition alchemers :p). Its not that hard. I honestly think lots of asian/oceana have learnt to deal with that 1 bar delay ping also its not that hard any 1 ping person could do as well as any 5 ping.
But OOO should really consider slapping a server somewhere in australia, even though they cant in asia because of those HK servers.

"they'll probably, or eventually ban all IPs from HK and TW not allowing them to access american servers, then HK,TW players need to rely on a proxy or vpn, sigh."
No, that's absolutely unacceptable. What if people already bought CE/DLC/packs in the US/EU servers?
If that happens, prepare to be sued, or complaint submitted to relevant agencies.

About that
About that HK/Taiwan/Traditional Chinese Server...
Why OOO no create asia/australia server here? :<
Also, using Google Translate screws up everything ye translate on. They somewhat can scramble words.
The translated chinese words on Steam are at their standards, there's no need to be agitated and be angry that they did a bad job. :/

Problem is, a server costs A LOT and OOO cannot afford to cut their profits so much to invest in such a server because the player community from those regions is way smaller than those in Europe.
Also lmao that video on the page OP linked... XD

Fun fact: Doing business *is*
Fun fact: Doing business *is* an investment.
You put in a large sum of money to open an office. You buy furniture, equipments, computers. You recruit staff. You pay for electricity, water, salary, insurance. You setup servers, pay for ISP.
Provide service to your customers, *then* you get your money back. If you do a good job, you may make a profit.
Don't let all those "kick-starter" schemes jumble your mind.
GameCyber may or may not get further updates from OOO. I am guessing they will, since it doesn't seem like OOO would sell the source code as well. But there are also those new anime style images... which might indicate GameCyber get to take their copy of SK in a new direction.
What OOO does here is telling us HK/Macau/Taiwan players: We don't want your money. Instead we sell Spiral Knights off to GameCyber and get a lum sum of money back.
I was hoping to get a closer server, then I'd buy all those once-per-account packs, and some more CE packs semi-regularly. Now I guess I will never pay OOO a single dime.

Good thing that both accounts
Good thing that both accounts I use are not Steam accounts then. I only play one inside Steam to make use of the Steam Overlay to stop idle timeout. :P
I don't think I can even convert my accounts to Steam now. Actually, they may not even have tested this case carefully, so a conversion might even end in disaster, messing up the accounts or something.
So I will keep my accounts out of Steam.
And, to eat my own words: I paid OOO. I bought the DLC for my main last night, since I'm almost out of stuff to do now.
Blizzard angered me with D3 being always online and designed around AH, so I didn't buy it; Bioware angered me with using Origin with ME3, so I didn't buy that either. I would gladly let OOO have those money instead, but now OOO angered me by selling off my region and my hope of ever getting lower latency... :(

You INVEST when you do business. Office space, electricity, water, salary, servers. OOO paid for all that BEFORE you have any US servers.
Think how many left experiencing the red dot lag. Think how many more would be playing SK from Australia if they can get a low lag gaming experience.

First of all, how did players
First of all, how did players outside of the US learned about Spiral Knights? Secondly, SEGA owns Three Rings, SEGA should be doing their part in setting up servers worldwide ESPECIALLY in Asia. What is SEGA doing anyways? Adding Sonic promos & promos in general to SK & making OOOs send all their money from their games to SEGA to get a smaller reimbursement of what they sent to SEGA?

@Metagenic
"You don't have that therefore you cannot have an opinion on that!"
The fact that I play on 3 bars doesn't change that OOO cannot simply spawn servers. For the record, I get 1 bar on US servers, and I know how it is, and usually 2 on EU if other people tag along. I have 3 just cause I'm solo.

I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, IF SEGA LOVE MONEY WHY DIDN'T THEY OPEN UP SERVER IN ASIA? NO, NO, NO...NOT ALL ASIAN TALK (racist depictions of other people's languages aren't cool.)! THAT IS NOT AN ASIAN SERVER!
It is possible.
