Tried to look for the game on steam using Indonesia's, Australia's, Singapore's IP and can't find it. Tried to look for the game again using Myanmar's, Malaysia's, China's, Vietnam's, IP and I can find it.
That's actually a surprise to me, I can't find it with Vietnam IP. None of my friends in Vietnam can.
Really? that's weird.
Tried to look for the game on steam using Indonesia's, Australia's, Singapore's IP and can't find it. Tried to look for the game again using Myanmar's, Malaysia's, China's, Vietnam's, IP and I can find it. seems like not all SEA region is blocked yet, or maybe they only allow some part of SEA region to have access to their server now
However, I find it annoying that they're starting to block regions now. It's like you're giving party invitation to everyone, but then only allow certain people to enter the party, and that's rude. If it's about smilegate that's claiming to run SEA server, isn't it way too late to do the blocking now? the news about smilegate going to run SW on SEA was from 2k16, so if GF gonna run SW, it's obvious that they'll gonna be in contact with smilegate too about what to do with this. Process like that isn't going to take just a day or two, it can be around a week or even for a month or more. so when GF opened the game, they should've already knew about if they should blocked SEA from their server or not but they didn't do that in the beginning, making us SEA believe that they're opened for not just specific regions but for SEA too. Yes, they do said that they might change things in this OBT and collect data, but what? did they allow other region to enter just because they're collecting the data? and when they got their data they kicked us out? if that's the case, they're being really rude
But, if it only temporary, I do hope they give us a heads up about what happened. I mean, what's so difficult about typing some simple command to build new announcement on their site? It can be done even when they're in vacation / days off, won't take more than half an hour. If they're too lazy to do that, just post on steam so people can read it and relay it to another who can't find it, won't take even 10 minutes. as simple as that
my statements above may be wrong since it's all coming from my own opinion and perspective, but this is what I believe as the right things
