I can't stand this !!! Latency there and latency here !!! Latency in PvE is Ok but not great while Latency in LD is like hitting the pinyada with a FF . So, who is tired of latency please submit your name below my post so that OOO will know that they can change for the many names below :D
WE ARE TIRED OF LATENCY :
¤ Fall-Hellscream
¤ Flameshadowz
¤ Nomorenubers
¤ Alphacommando
¤ Zipb
¤ Sirius-Voltbreaker
¤ Owao
¤ Dust-Dragon
¤ Chicoy
¤ Midnight-Dj
¤ Blueflood
Don't give me that link !! What about the poor aussies and the other player that don't know chinese lol...
I don't speak chinese but I do play on that server with my friends who have moved to it since they have terrible latency to our main servers here. They still visit here sometimes, but they are mostly on there.
As for you... I don't know, just give it a try?? I don't think there is going to be a dedicated server for the Main Server since the Asia Server is not linked here on the Main server.
Y'all can still try to debate it if must for wanting a server for other countries, but from the looks of things I highly doubt that is going to happen.
@zeakstarwind : Come on lol !! Maybe OOO can help us if
they see we need them most !! I know
some people fail tryig this but I ain't
giving up...
@Krakob : Have you heard of the plushies idea :P and
also keep in mind that Sega is a million dollar
company lol....
@Flameshadowz : Hi adik :P
Aussie here, I don't care much for latency in PvE, but on the rare occasion I play Lockdown, hardly any of my hits register. Probably somewhere between 10-30% of them register...
Sure, signed.
I already quited from this game but I will join your cause so that other eastern players won't quit from the game !
BTW write my in game name : Nomorenubers
Well I wouldn't mind a Chromalisk plushie but these suggestions have come along so much that either they are noted, but can't do it or simply can't be funded at this moment or they don't have control over if they can have extra servers are not because they are with SEGA now. Three Rings do develop the game and do their best to please everyone, but that is quite impossible since you can't please everyone at the same time. There will be Positives and Negatives.
As for petition goes, there are so many already that I'm pretty sure there was an Aussie server petition before awhile back. There isn't much to say since I don't know how to reply about the situation since... it's been asked a lot over and over especially for Asia servers, but that is now seperate.
Anyways, good luck on your fight for a server.
You'll have more luck if you send a petition to game cyber to release an english patch for their version.
I've never had more than 1 bar. LD and BN are hopelessly and utterly unplayable. I'm talking about people teleporting and running in straight lines out of the map in my perspective.
Connection lag is the very reason I'm a gunner/bomber right now, and stopped spending more real money for this game.
This stop now its free this is why some if the games hosted in us/ca kr/jp got ip country ban if u keep this up i blame u guys if we get banned
playing in asia/au aswell
you guys should also know they already know the issue and they trying to fix it
I have an account on the "Asian server", and you can switch the language settings to English, so what's the big deal? Being someone who lives on East Coast USA, my ping to the Asian Server isn't even that horrible. It's a notable difference, but it's not unplayable.
Even so, OOO is a small company that can't exactly afford to set up all these area specific servers, so your best bet is to deal with what we currently have until finances is no longer an issue.
Have you tried to talk to the players !! They speak Chinese !! :P
I don't find it totally unplayable on my latency, but obviously you have not tried playing with choppy framerate of 20fps AND 0.8 seconds of delay. (That's 800ms ping, if you are wondering)
I'd sign, but after 2 years I'm not expecting anything.
...Honestly, this thread is pointless. Go see how many countless other ones like this are in the graveyard or something.
And no, I'm not giving up the gear I spent 50k CE on just for a 150ms decrease.
I'd be more supportive if your posts didn't give me a headache. Aus/NZ players are the furtherest from the servers, and even then we've learnt to deal with it and adapt. When it gets unplayable I'd just take a deep breath and stop playing for the night. After the Nth thread already, there is no realistic expectation for improvement at the current stage. Btw I've been on the Asian server, it's still only two bars. :(
What if, OOO realizes Sega doesn't want to publish an asian server, so they went to sell their game to that cyber co.
I don't get how Sega remains so invisible in this asian server debate. Even though OOO are obliged to branch out, I think they think they already did. Can't blame them.
Secretly, I think there is a rivalry between Sega in Asia and Us lol....Just Cusious(mewkat) XD
at list you 2 bar < always 1 bar :( but im fine choopy but fine
in pve
ld no comment xD
This stop now its free this is why some if the games hosted in us/ca kr/jp got ip country ban if u keep this up i blame u guys if we get banned
playing in asia/au aswell

Uh... What? There shouldn't be an Asian server on the off chance someone from Asia gets IP banned? *scratches head*
Anyhow, I doubt they'll take any notice as they probably can't afford to maintain it, but sure. Sign me up.
I like how some people here are trolling and joking and having fun when this is supposed to be a shout to OOO for not putting servers in Australia or Asia.
I'm a 250-450 ms player, and I really don't give a single F about latency.
If I have 250 I play without problems.
If I have 450 I try to play.
Get used to it.
Beep im not saying there shouldn't be an asia server but if you keep annoying them they could just block us will make me sad
scared yes :)
@ Imposible-God : Shhhh....There are children here !!
Ugh.....I give up !!! We lost the war because of the phase (No Guts No Glory)
"Hellscream's eyes are always upon you."
I play in Australia and during night it is SO CRAZY LAGGY. :(
Latency in PvE is Ok but not great while Latency in LD is like hitting the pinyada with a FF . So, who is tired of latency please submit your name below my post so that OOO will know that they can change for the many names below :D
So let me get this straight.
After 1 year of LD being up you want a dedicated server for Asia?
1 - You do realize the population of LD is close to non-existant?
2 - You do realize how low people on Asia actually play Spiral Knights and on top of that, that play LD.
Having a dedicated Asia server for LD is... LOL
You should make your own server and tell OOO you want to host LD games on it, maybe that could work though, people never think of actually doing the work and just asking permission, they always want all the work done and just shout at the screen...
crazy people...
Seriously who want an aussi LD Server???
Oh right those guys
¤ Fall-Hellscream
¤ Flameshadowz
¤ Nomorenubers
¤ Alphacommando
¤ Zipb
¤ Sirius-Voltbreaker
¤ Owao
¤ Dust-Dragon
Let's go make a server just for them!
yayyyyy
try putting your money where your mouth is. Demands aren't going to get you anywhere. Servers cost money to buy and more for the professionals to obtain them and keep them running. OOO's is a business. They aren't a charity. They won't do it for free and they certainly won't lose money doing it. I'm sure if there was a way to run a business that provided free games and services to all and would allow them and theirs to not to starve to death, they would do it. But since this is reality...
All you have to do is make it worth it to them. Buy energy, promos etc on a regular basis. Rival the North American's in spending if you want OOO's attention. Give them the money to do what you are asking and keep giving it to them if you want it to continue. You know they will spend their time and efforts where the money is. Then if you are spending, you have the power to withhold the cash if they refuse to meet your needs. And remember, wants can't always be purchased.
If you're serious this will get their attention. Make a petition of Asians who are active players and who are petitioning their pledge to support OOO's financially.
Iamnoone has a good point.
For those against another server, what if foreign players aren't playing BECAUSE of their latency?
That is exactly the reason. check out games like maple story and ragnarok which I believe to be ridiculously boring and even more poorly made compared to SK then look at the numbers they bring in from Asia due to having a server.
a server would be fantastico but its an expensive trial and we cant guarantee there will be a ton of incoming asian players.
as for LD, its a joke. theres a few aussie players that have become pretty skilled at it and if u spectate them you can see how they've adapted with irregular movement patterns and tactics. Its not like LD is hard to become skilled at anyway with weapons that have 180 degree arcs and a striker boost that is too fast to track for most peoples internet connection.
"as for LD, its a joke. theres a few aussie players that have become pretty skilled at it and if u spectate them you can see how they've adapted with irregular movement patterns and tactics."
Lol nope, you're wrong. Go back to PvE, please.
Either you join our strike or GET LOST.
if you were in our situation you'd agree to strike with us.
Anyway just shut up will you?
If OOO can do anything positive to ease up the lag around the south east asia and pacific, it would be appreciated. I am in New Zealand so I am always at one bar. I never tried LD (thank god) so I don't know how bad it is, but I can imagine.
I can read chinese but due to they are written in their old form (I only learned the simplified back in school ), it does take me a while to understand them all. If I can play my character on my steam account on gamecyber that would be nice (i don't see why anyone would need to create a new knight, there is no stat or class or race in this game). I reckon gamecyber, OOO and steam can come to some KIND of agreement? Or is it impossible?
Ps. the chinese translation for seraphynx pronounce something like this,
3 letters
沙 娜 斯
the first letter prnounce 'sha'
the second pronounce 'na'
the third is a 'ss' sound
combine to gether it sounds like sha-na-ss... which doesn't sound like the original seraphynx. LMAO
@Midnight-Dj : IKR !! It sounds like a girl name to me lol...
@Other people who is againts this thread : Sega is a million dollar COMPANY !! Do I have to say it a millions of time !! Jeez !!
Although SEGA is rich, they do not guarantee such support to be provided to Three Rings, they need better explanation, reason, and overview of the server's population, also includes a few survey.
Ye're here just doing the surveyor job for them as does the many of the likes of ye had did the same, however unsuccessful. Generally speaking, many of here had stated their point, have a good scroll up and think...?
I for a south east asian myself asked for a change before yet overlooked, forgotten, rather, I shall care no more regardless of reputation. Many tried, a lot of pinpoint, facts, all of the debates, and some only make a thread for a want and leave it there, regardless how many times it was created by similiar tp similiar issues made needed to fix, change, and what not. Some fulfilled, some were not done, some were left, stone cold.
I heed for one of the likes of ye, play the game within it's obstacle, and remain in patience, although time taken was long, they might plan, but results varied that has left an unimpressive result to players who asked for it. That said many: "Hey, move there or stay and stop whining!", it may sound offensive, sad but true.
I will not sign, as if it is pointless, I see no further a bequest for a persistent, this petition is. Although there's no given help I still wish ye for the best, with a "FORGET YOU".
[muffled song playing in distance]
Take the hint, butchy!
While I do agree, I'm not in Australia or Asia so I don't know how lag is for you all.
I don't really know but I've posted on the forums when those Chinese servers where still on beta mode, I'm Aussie.
Hadesrebellion
1~2 bars, constant lag and packet losses, LD is unplayable, deaths are guaranteed.
For people who foolishly say stuff like "waaahhhh staup cumplanening boat lagg u haz de asin sevr 2 pley on go whear u belung!!!!11!!11":
I've encountered some in-game, they are as stupid and illiterate as it gets.
"U asin haz asin ser go pley on it insted"
1. The server is 95% Chinese, not every Asian understands Chinese. (Persians, Indians and alo Australians are all TECHNICALLY or GEOGRAPHICALLY Asians, Asian is not someone with black eyes and hair, kicks your ass in science and maths subjects and can't differentiate 'l' and 'r' making the word 'election' sound like 'erection' etc. Just no.
"BBBUTTT, deres englsh option i hurd?"
Yes, there is an unpopulated haven for English speakers, the fonts are awful and barely anyone goes there. It's like haven 66.
Just like what I've said the server is 95% Chinese/Cantonese/Taiwanese (Same thing, get offended if you want to), it is fairly hard to even get a friend circle.
"cunt u juz use a trnslatr?"
No, we can't.
We need to know PinYin or whatever other input methods in order to type the text in Google Translate. The game doesn't have an option to directly copy text from the chat box in game. Even with that the translations are going be awful. Chinese like to use some really silly words to sub normal words and make sentences that have double meanings, no translator (unless me or someone similar) can handle this.
"ooooOOO u chineze? y u no go pley on dat"
I'm Australian with Chinese descendant, yeah I'm Chinese too but so what? I live in Australia, the ping from here to anywhere else in the world is 3 digits+. I don't have that [ghost -- get offended, I don't care] Chinese accent and I know everything about their cultural, the way they talk and all those silly Internet language they use (lol, lmfao, stfu equivalents) and all that. So what?
Note the following and hopefull you will know why most Asians won't play on that server:
1. It's ran by some HK company well known for money-farming. They have a license that expires in 5 years normally. It will be likely for them to shut down servers if not enough money is milked.
2. It's a complete different server, it's individual. It is not linked with our main US/EU servers. Get it?
3. One's current progress on the main server won't be synced onto those Asian servers. (I don't want to lose my pool of Ectos)
4. Online friends are still friends, I don't like dogging friends, unaustralian mate.
Ultimately, ooo is a business owned by SEGA, we don't get a server because they find it counterproductive in terms of profit to open one for us. It's not us to blame but ooo and SEGA are both businesses. Businesses are for the sake of money milking.
That translation for Seraphynx is alright in my opinion. Their translations for other stuff are still crap:
暴風司機 -- Storm Driver, “司機” being literally someone who drives a vehicle. (Seriously? Try drving a lightning bolt and see how your corpse ends up cooked)
It used to worse, everything is either using a translator or translated by some extremely illiterate person/group or maybe an eight-year-old. I'd love to help them fix everything if it's paid.
Probably should mention - this is not a strike, this is a petition. A strike would involve not playing the game.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/247623/Screenshot_Captor_Directory/C...
so this is a strike because playing spiral knights is your job
@ Materialist
French translation is horrible, I can't imagine a chineese one...
Ultimately, ooo is a business owned by SEGA, we don't get a server because they find it counterproductive in terms of profit to open one for us.
Bingo!
But if you come to them and say "Hey we got this server over Asia that we want to run Spiral Knights on... can we talk?"
And I'm sure they will chat with you about how it's do-able or not for X-Y-Z reason
so this is a strike because playing spiral knights is your job
This Thread has been going on for a while and I'm sure they all played SK after signing this "strike" which you don't sign but join... into... not doing your work...
Ok, honestly, I live in America. I have no clue how terrible lag is for you guys. I do know, up until about a month ago, I had an incredibly horrible computer. I've also tried playing LD on hotel networks, with terrible lag, but I realize for you guys it's worse. So this is my two cents.
For one, a new server would work. I bet it would so be flooded by new, or returning, players, simply because it has less/no lag.
Second, I can almost guarantee OOO would be willing to work with you guys setting up a new server. They want new players, nothing more, nothing less.
Lastly, I think forming a group on the forums will do little more than make you look like the guys in the corner, complaining how much better the game was while in beta. No offence.
With that said, I'll move on to a more interesting forum topic.
Guys, I do not see what the point of this topic is. Sure, I am also an Asia Pacific player, but it doesn't mean I hate latency.
I started realising this when I knocked some sense into myself. Latency DOES NOT make the game unplayable. I have 2 bar and I'm still fine. I solo'ed Vana, still fine. Played Lockdown and got 20k in Vog Cub with 2 bar. I even tried EU Lockdown from where I live and I scored a decent 10k damage once. Goes to show latency can be matched by some SKILL and keeping your cool.
Complaining about Latency ain't gonna to take you anywhere.
