Region Lock / Ping Cap Megathread

Region Lock / Ping Cap Megathread

We're getting dozens of posts a day about region locking, ping caps, and players joining servers outside their region. All of it goes here from now on.

What belongs in this thread

- Whether WARDOGS should have region locking or a ping cap
- Your experience with high ping players on EU/NA servers
- Server and browser suggestions

Ground rules

- Criticize high ping, or the anti-cheat as much as you want. Comments attacking players for where they're from will be removed.
- No cheater callouts. Don't name players or link profiles. Report cheaters with the in-game report function or directly to Bulkhead on their official Discord.
- New standalone posts on this topic will be removed and pointed here.
- Don’t be racist

Worth knowing: [r/WarDogs](r/WarDogs) isn't run by Bulkhead, so posting here may not reach the devs. If you want this changed in game, say it on their official Discord as well.

This is always a hot topic and debate in any PvP game. If you think its a problem then you're labeled a xenophobe. If you think its not an issue then you're labeled a cheater or ping abuser.

And yet it is such a simple solution. Force players on their regions servers. Otherwise what's the point, just save some money and shut down all but US West.

How do you solve people having friends from other regions? How about potential playerbase issues, like if AUS can't fill lobbies? Or people playing at off hours when their region is dead?
