Crappy servers
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Hi guys,

I'm a bit sad that the following keeps happening:
I am a Dutch guy living in South America, and I have Dutch friends that play DayZ as well. But, unlike my mates, I cannot find the servers!
If I see how many servers they've got to choose from (a list in which you can actually scroll) and which kind of servers (Dutch, UK, and what not) then I don't understand why I've got the shittiest list ever.

If I'm lucky, then, on a good day with clear sky, I get to choose from 5 (yes, 5!!) Br (Brazilian?) Servers!
Of which, by the way, 3 are always in pitchblack darkness so you can't even see the road in front of your feet (even though it's a full moon) 1 of which works well WHEN IT'S ONLINE, has daytime, but does not allow 3rd person, and then the last one that does allow 3rd person, is during the day but is offline 9 out of 10 times.

So, these are my options... I usually spend more time clicking between Internet and History or restarting the game to get the serverlist to show some of the servers, and this is the crappy selection I get.
Now, I understand very well this game is still in Alpha fase, but it just seems a bit shit that my mate can choose from 1000 servers that show up in 0,5 seconds, while I have to restart my game a 1000 times before I get 0,5% result with sometimes even only 2(!!) servers to play on!
And, obviously, I can't play on the same server as my mate :S

Can this be fixed? That people from South America can also get on a Dutch or English server? (World wide access)

Thanks.

The default server filter is set to a max ping of 100.
Since you are half way across the world, those servers will have a way higher ping for you, thus won't show up.
Since the filter is shared amongst all tabs, it also won't show the server your friends are in since it has a ping over the allowed 100.

Solution:

Increase the max ping in your server filter to 999 and you'll get to see every server.
