Question about Brazillian Servers.

  • Hey guys! First of all, loving the game but as a Brazillian player I have one question about the servers.

    Why can't we play in the Brazillian servers?

    We had our own launch and everything at our timezone, but even since the launch we have not been able to join a single Brazillian server.
    Almost every session we get in a server with 170+ ping, and sometimes it can go up to 300! And when we get lag spikes the ping can go up to 1000 or even more.
    The lag is clearly visible in the game, sometimes we teleport while running and jumping, the anchor have a bit of delay when we drop it and etc...
    And this is unfair to us, especially in PVP because not every player have the same ping on the server and most of the times we have to battle with people with a much lower ping and that's not a good feeling.

    We know that keeping a server in Brazil is not easy, but we would love to be able to play with lower latency and with another Brazillian players too! It's hard to find a fellow Brazillian in the game when the servers are in different regions.

    That's it, I just want to understand why we are not been able to play in the servers that we waited so much to play since the very first Stress Test.

    Sorry if I made any mistakes in the text.

    Thanks for the attention, happy sailing!

  • Completely agree. I play with 200-300ms, and apparently,, every single person has the same latency, independent on their speed. This makes Stairs a horror movie for us. Every time i climb one, we get rubber banded to the start 2 or 3 times. This puts us in a HUGE disadvantage, because we play with North Americans, with 20ms (a HUGE difference). Besides, I can never find a random group of people speaking my language.

    Brazilian here.

  • And sometimes we get servers with 300+ ms, so we need to leave the session to start the matchmaking again to get a "regular server" of 170ms. Sometimes we get into EU servers, because I'm pretty sure I heard french players when I get 300+ ms? I don't know if this is a global matchmaking, but at least do a priority matchmaking to Brazil, and at least Rare can do a bridge to connect us to NA players with low ping, like other games do.

    We know this type of naval game doens't require extremely low ping to play, but it's frustrating when we hit another player with the cutlass or another weapon and the hit doesn't register because of the high ping, so we die "of nowhere".

    I don't know if you guys uses Microsoft Azure servers, but if it is the case, we have one in São Paulo, wich is the best location for Brazillian players.

    Thanks guys, loving the game so far.

  • Gotta agree with OP, the lag issue is quite frustating and the teleports are not a rare occurrence.

    And I still haven't found a single brazilian player on the sea...

  • Worth it put a server on Brazil in my opinion!

    We have to many Brazillians players playing this game!

  • @rhodiss Our simple discord server has 100 online in the morning (right now) and in the afternoon, we fill out something close to 15 galleons and a whole lot of Sloops. There are also people that aren't even online on discord. This is our SMALL discord server.

    We have a Huge community and we deserve decent servers!

    Microsoft/Rare, we beg you :D
