Default Server (EN#)

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I've noticed that as I rank up, the default server number I am assigned upon logging in decreases. At First Lietenant I generally land in EN4 and sometimes EN3. Furthermore, the higher the server number, the lower the average player rank is.

 

Anyone else notice this? Is it intentional? If so why? I would think it would make more sense to load balance the servers regardless if rank since the battles themselves determine who can join.

 

On the other hand, I guess clustering ranks does mean less server hopping to find suitable battles. Maybe I just answered my own question, but I'd still like folks thoughts.

It is intentional and the servers are divided by ranks to help you find more suitable battles for your rank. Low number servers are mostly for high ranks, while higher numbers are for low ranks. So yeah, you did answer your own question.

 

However, I will say that there should have been a more effective system for helping players find more suitable battles, such as a filter or search option. At the moment I still end up having to click every battle to check rank limits because over 50% of the battles on the server are 2 or more ranks above mine, even if I'm on my "home" server.

With the exception of EN 1

it changes all the time

I just noticed the rank slider one can configure while creating battles. Not sure if many people notice but clever players can ensure they are the higher maybe highest ranks in the battle.

So you do need to be clever to use it? Facepalm to Tankis playerbase if this their standard of being clever.

 

A little bit offtopic question. I also recognized that once I levelled up Home server changed and when switching servers different ranks play there. But is there any server based on location - to reduce lag? Like nearest server to my location any way to define that or are all servers at same place as thus far I have not found any specific so I could play bigger maps.

Sounds like it's time for another Ideas and Suggestions topic ;)

 

Also it would be great if the server-choosing system took RU and even DE into consideration when sending a player to a server...sometimes I'm sent to EN2 with almost all Generalissimo battles, but looking around I see far far more battles for my rank in late-RU servers.

I'm pretty sure it has been posted before.

I don't think I've seen a topic like that in ideas and suggestions...but then again I'm not sure how I'd be able to search for that exact feature.
