For those playing the game already here in PH, what's your latency?? I'm interested in buying this game for PC but we all know how bad PH internet is so I'd like to have an idea of what to expect before buying. What ping times are you getting and is it always stable?? Any PLDT subscribers who can answer, I'd very much appreciate it. TIA

Found the best price at gamerjar.com with 15% discount only this week. Plus additional 5% off with promo code: KWKGPLZ2. Also paypal is available.

Need mo ng account to play so kahit install mo ng isang daang beses kung wala kang account di ka makakalaro, sa ping naman reasonable basta wag lang ma pldc

For those with ping issues on PLDT or Globe there are solutions like WTFast, pingzapper, kill ping etc. Below are my Battlenet and VPN settings:

Americas: Make sure you connect to Singapore or Japan depending on which is stable
Asias: Connect to Hongkong, btw you will need patience becuase no one speaks in English on this server

To those who are new to game pansin ko lang mass less toxic to kesa sa CSGO, Dota at LoL in terms of community.

Actually nag free to play sya for a weekend nga lang, around that time dumame ang noobs. Also most of the hater are CSGO players who keep saying the game is not competitive and the game is easy those idiots.

 

[taka]

haha kita ko nga sa group hindi daw competitive blah blah

I know it gets annoying i played both games and they are very different but at the same time have similarities, you need to coordinate with team and you get competitive at level 25.

haha sorry for the rant
