Titanfall General Chat

Those AU servers are "coming soon" please note.. Currently closest Azure POP is Singapore.. Which for latency purposes is about the same as California..

[Lias]

Wow, so there is no Azure in NZ?!?   

We can access Azure.. but there is no Azure content hosted in NZ (or currently even in Australia). Just like we have no AWS, Rackspace, or pretty much any global hosting/IAAS/cloud providers.. We're just not big enough market, and hosting is painfully expensive here compared to offshore. We do have some onshore IAAS/Cloud hosting that's purely targeted at Enterprise, but that's really a different kettle of fish.

[Keeps]

If that's the case and that coming soon sign doesn't become a reality before the launch of Titanfall then it sounds like it will flop in NZ. But surely something will come to be, at least for Sydney. Otherwise xbox will have one very unhappy and notably quite large market that is Australia.... Surely.....

Hmmm doesn't sound at all to promising at this stage. But I will live in hope and faith right till the dying end. Then again, that having been said, still no preorder from my camp....

I can tell you now Gliss, it's local support, and dedicated servers.

The server hosting is as has already been discussed, and EA is localised in Aus for Aus/NZ - we now have a disty only in NZ, but fortunately it's the same guys who work for that disty that worked for EA when they had local support here. Either way, we'll be damned sure we're close to the source of any goings on through our Get Some contacts

In other news: whats the best way to preorder to get beta? Origin?

THIS ^^^

Great news about the servers

[Arseynimz]

Just had a meeting with the EA guys. The beta will be 100% open. No need to order if you don't want to - they have confidence and a lot of money behind this game. It's going to be a CoD killer they're predicting.

*crosses fingers*............ again...........

Nice Arsey. My Hype rating is over 9000!!!!..... (best not let me down:)) but good to know. I had every confidence they would have at least Aussie servers but thanks for the confirmation.

So aaaaah

[BeNZene]

Hey look on the bright side - at least they've saved us the money of buying it.

[Keeps]

I'm ACTUALLY so disappointed to read that... 

And to think that they had the Audacity and cunning to come to Australia and do this.


Titanfall presentation - Abbie Heppe, Respawn Community Manager

I wonder how many pre orders they got.

[kookynic]

Bullshit!

I was excited. So Lame

[Speakman]

Yet another very promising title arsefucked before release for us.


Will still try the beta to see how playable it is, but any chances of me preordering have gone

[Lias]

I hate to say "I told you so" but.. "I told you so!!!"

Call me cynical, but I think we've seen a lot of excitement for AAA titles that have just ended in farcical disappointment in recent years.

And that must make keeping things like this going even harder. You should be commended.

Relevant to your interests:

When will the centre open? Nadella wouldn’t commit to a specific date. “There is no specific date set as yet. We have to announce our intent and then the projects get on the way.” With that said, it’s likely to be before the end of 2014: “Historically, within 12-18 months of an announcement we’ve been in that geography.”

That was in May 2013.

Will believe it when I see it.

No, I said local support (which it has out of both Aus and NZ), and dedicated servers (just the location of those servers is the issue...).

I am actively talking to the EA guys about this, and the local NZ disty as well. The good news is at least that the problem will be a giant one for Australia as well given the cable connection to Singapore is via Western Australia, so the ping time let alone the performance for anyone on the Eastern Border of Aus will be a giant clusterfuck. Of course, that just means it will be an even more giant, shall we say, titanic clusterfuck for us...
