Is matchmaking / server finding good in Asia?

Worth buying?

have not tested yet since they announced the SG server because there was a routing problem that kept pushing players to the AU server.

but u better enjoy losing items because this is not like PUBG. very different mindset.

Hello, Escapers!

We have heard the pleas of our Asian community and as we strive to build our network across the globe, we have officially opened the Asia Servers. This is great news for all of us, as this will help to lighten the load as we can now give our Asian brothers and sisters a home of their very own.

Please take the time to provide any feedback in this thread, about your experience in the new servers. We are tirelessly working on ALL servers to give each and every one of you a quality experience. We thank you for your patience and understanding in all matters.

Long live Battlestate Games!

Fixed:

- Bug on quest fail during raid
- Bug in which could use the quest item in raid even if it was placed in offline quest stash
- Bug of remains of kicked-down doors preventing character movement

Other changes and additions:
- When using the medication through quick access, the logic of the application is now as follows.
First aid kits, application in order of precedence:
1. Applied to the most damaged part of the body except those with 0 health
2. If somebody parts are bleeding and a first aid kit removes it, the most damaged bleeding body part is selected
3. Foot fractures are treated in the first place, hands in the last
4. The rest of priorities depend on negative effects and whether the effects are present
Other medicines: Applied to the most damaged part of the body, with a negative effect that is eliminated by this medicine
- Now ammo can affect the parameters of weapon accuracy and recoil

- Balancing adjustments of traders, goods and their barter schemes

We announce the final stage of the technical preparations for the Open Beta Testing of Escape from Tarkov. Thuswise, starting December 28 and over a few weeks, we'll conduct load testing of game servers in order to adjust processing for a large number of new players at the start of the OBT in the beginning of 2018.

For this purpose, we have planned a New Year event, which will give free access to the game to a part of users who are registered on the official website of the project, but are not playing yet. 7-day access to the game will be granted to a part of the players, who will be picked randomly among the total number of subscribers, with bias for those who have been registered earlier.

Within a week after the event launch, the game will be available for purchase with a 25% discount, which is effective for all types of transactions (purchases, package upgrades and gifts).

Moreover, every user who has already purchased access to the game or bought the game during the 7 days of event, is guaranteed to receive additional game gear with ability to restore it within 6 months after each profile wipe, including manual one.

Along with that, players who have joined the testing before the launch of Closed Beta (July 28, 2017), will also receive:

Two 7-day access keys and the opportunity to share them with friends during the week.
Players who have preordered the game prior to the Alpha Test (August 5, 2016), additionally receive:

Promo code for the Standard Edition of the game
and two 7-day access keys and the opportunity to share them with friends during the week.
Also, we announce that forthcoming updates, which will be released before the end of the year, will include the full version of the Shoreline map, new weapons and items, as well as new features such as the new spawn and extraction system, dynamic weapon size change, helmet customization system and improved headwear slots, redesigned system of weapon mastering, dogtags and other features, which will be explained in more detail in the near future.

In the early 2018, with launch of OBT, the game will be further expanded with advanced game mechanics, and some of the existing ones will be redesigned. Moreover, players shall expect further optimization of the graphics and network components, as well as the new Interchange location and additional game content.

At this point, users purchasing any game package get access to the Beta testing and can start playing immediately after purchase.

Any desync issues? Heard the servers are located in HK which will have some lag.
