They are not down because of the planned Chicago move, the servers will remain at Dallas for another two weeks.
Thanks.
That chicago move is going to make me a sad panda. I know with your better hosting the chicago will be 90 ping for me, trather than 110 for the ATS chicago servers -- but having 50 ping to dallas matters. The difference is night and day.
I'm someone who crutches on my reaction time being ~110ms, and just let my character play autopilot 95% of the time. I should probably pay attention to the game more than talking in ts/vent...
The difference in ping to dallas to chicago is the difference in my ability to
chamber held attacks. I can't do it with 90 and higher ping. I do it reliably in the dallas duel server though. Chambering held attacks is a fucking small window. Have to click as soon as they release it from their hold, the latency is just enough to make that window too small.
I also have a bad habit of blocking once I see their swing completing, something I can't do with high ping. It lets me double swing everybody who holds or feints though, hahaha.
