Power Play Combat Zones still broken

[hrafnblod]

Please fix the broken ppcz's.
Theres two issues:

1) it seems that non-uk/eu players rarely ever get a working ppcz in open (i.e. one that ships spawn within, or if they do spawn, the missions/progress bar dont work). This also affects players from the uk/eu if theyre instanced with a non-uk/eu player and the latter happens to be hosting the instance, or share a wing. The only ways around this are not ideal and somewhat unacceptable, being in the use of a vpn to a uk/eu node (inducing lag and disconnects), or to play in solo (no-one should be doing powerplay in solo/pg anyway, but they certainly shouldnt be forced into it)

2) i dont know if this is intended or not, but if theres a bgs war in a contested war state pp system (where ppcz's should spawn), ppcz's dont spawn at all.

whilst informing us its "unacceptable" there is not a lot anyone here can do about it tbh


(oh the joys of a cheap skate peer to peer server network as opposed to an expensive client server)
they should get into talks with sony online entertainment and ditch Amazon EC2 to take there profits up up and away even though giving a large chunk to SOE they would still make more profit
as with most of its connection issues gone........ word would soon spread and player numbers would then soar i should say imo but this would be a fact and id bet db10 grand on that as it would be like taking candy from a kid)
