To make a long story short, this is another generic complaint about garbage servers and lag. As an Aussie player Enlisted is genuinely disappointing. For such a large focus on bot squads, it’d be perfect for low playerbase regions… but no.
There are only a handful of games that even acknowledge our existence, let alone support local servers, and this clearly isn’t one of them. So far similar complaints I’ve seen have received the usual “your internet just sucks” or “move to another country” and zero actual solutions beyond buying shady services like ExitLag (which I’ve tried to no avail).
I am aware there aren’t enough players to warrant local servers (OCE/SEA), we’re just not profitable. Honestly, I barely even notice the lag half the time, but other half is full of random spikes and rubber-banding. Even at 144hz shots just vanish. I’ll be killed before even looking round a corner, or enemies will suddenly pop into existence before me as the game catches up.
Why would I or anyone else ever spend money on a game with such terrible servers? Just adding them to appease us isn’t enough, you’ll just take em’ away with the excuse that not enough people joined. Of course we wouldn’t. You need to be consistent and trusted to not immediately tear them away or gimp them later on.
I don’t care if they’re only active for a few hours a day. I don’t care if they’re full of sweaty p2w tryhards. I just want to play 1 game without the lag symbol always being present in the top right corner.
