Hi im currently working in the middle east and was following this games since it was announced, i was unfortnatelg unable to even try to apply for the alpha and beta testing because things got too busy with my job. Aftee browsing thru the forums ive come to know that the game will be p2p.
Id like to ask if theres anyone here who played the game while in the middle east if the connection is okay, i really want to buy this game the moment its released and i dont think i could wait for another week or so just to see the reviews.
Anyway thanks in advance for any replies.

Here's an example and i'm not sure what part of the middle east you are referring too, but i'm from uk playing with 2 buddies from turky with no lag whatsoever.
The only time we experienced any lag was when people was leaving and being replaced by bots and you can't really call that lag, the game is paused while it re adapts to what players are left. The only difference i saw playing with my buddies form turky, was a tiny bit longer waiting for people to connect up at the start of a game.

Hello miks1984
Since you are currently in the middle east I do not recommend getting the game, as the current matchmaking system is messed up (it was fine in the beta but they messed it up). Only get the game if you enjoy playing vs Asian countries 90% of the time with extremely high ping (around 300ms). They have basically placed a restriction on most middle eastern countries to be in the Asian match making pool.
They say they fixed it in some middle eastern countries perhaps you are in one of them? you can see some of the comments of people suffering from similar issues there too

UPDATE: matchmaking in Middle east have been fixed as seen here:

All the games I recently played had green ping (except for one player with alternating between green and yellow). I can finally enjoy the game!
