The NB playercount has been low the past couple of weeks since the host change. Often when people even are on, they are just playing on mapbuild. When the host was in NYC I think the majority of the server had a fair ping. Most people were around 60ms. Normally before they'd wait a year to do another host vote, but since our S+ team thinks they're better than everyone else they had to push like hell to get this shit to go through. Funny thing is they don't even play that much. And you know they couldn't stand 60ms cause dear god they'd have play with like a 1.5 block reach distance.
Having 80+ms really sucks for the NA players, which by the way make up the bulk of the playerbase. It's not like the chromies ever vote in these polls, but they are still apart of the community and we need them to keep playercounts up. Nobody wants to play where you get hotboxed from 8 blocks away due to the constant lag spikes. Nobody really wants to play 3 blocks ahead of a zombie or 2 blocks ahead to get a kill. I mean the shit you have to do to stay competitive on this ping is ridiculous. I literally have to play 3-4 steps ahead of another player, do a bunch of fakes and hope to hell they fall for it so I can take off another direction while the others see me going the other way. Not only that, it's 80+ms vs 20ms. High ping players can't react worth a shit. It's an extremely hard mental game that puts alot of people off as what's going on your screen doesn't resemble anything close to what's happening on the server.
Last but not least, the so called "good" players (most who are in europe) find ways to kill off a server in rounds too. Idk why all of these "prorunners" are too pussy to play z. They drag out a whole round going in straight lines keeping the zombies a whopping 1 block behind them, while we get to flank 2 blocks ahead and try to predict cause there aint no reacting to jukes on 80ms. And when we do kill them they instantly revive. Then they tell us we're shit. Congratz, you won a dead server. But hey, atleast you don't have predict to make kills anymore (when you guys do play z ofc), or use any thought when playing as human. I mean who gives a shit about fucking over 2/3rds of the player base when you can feel better about yourself. When you go from a fairly equal 60ms to this completely rigged and lopsided bullshit, it's no wonder nobody wants to play and the results have been showing.
