    I will second that! I'm also from Germany and can't play at american rush hours because of all the lags... I'm having one of the best ( if not the best ) connection in Germany and still lag a lot... Playing against the top 10 is just impossible, since by the time I see them I'm gone. It's that bad now... Please get some servers in Germany too. I have stopped buying energy because of that :(

    Happens to me VERY often...please get more servers... It makes no sense to buy energy anymore since a) it's gone within weeks and b) you never know if the game is still playable after weeks....

    I think whats most important for this game is not to match people based on skill all the time but divide in two groups and then match only based on pings. It is no fun if it lags... the game is dead then... Also by mixing expert and newbs from time to time they get an inspiration of how good one can get and win more points for frags. It makes more sense that way. Playing against the TOP 10 players all the time is VERY exhausting and I'm already tired after 10 matches or so... if the matching system would be more random I would have more room to breathe between tough matches and play more...hence spend more money.

    If Ngmoco is expecting us to splurge more money on cells or any form of paid DLCs, our in-game experience has definitely gotta improve drastically... it makes no sense spending $ and yet experiencing such connectivity issues going on every now and then, especially during the peak hours...

    What annoys me is that they put me in matches with level 50's when I'm level 37. Last match I played, I got 28 credits!! 28 credits!! That's ridiculous. How am I ever going to advance and level up like that? Even if I bought the 30 Dollar cell pack, I probably wouldn't have enough credits to make it to level 50. That's just dumb.

    You're right! Those at Level 50 will earn about 50-70 every round... you will have a harder time to catch up and hence pay more than Terrorist and Co. to get the same amount of credits! That's the fact for now... That's the reason I've upgraded so fast since I was matched with Terrorist and co. all the time after the second day who were always 20 levels above me and got double the credits in every round. They buy the same amount of energy and get twice the credits on average. The system favors those who've upgraded their gears early and leveled up!

    I was also sleeping. If they have promotions, they should give everyone a chance, not only people in their Time Zone.

    That's what happens to me all day long. I can't remember the last time I played people that were my same level. Always levels 45-50 and I'm now level 37.

    That's true! Otherwise we should get energy cells cheaper :)

    McDonalds! French Fries anyone?
    At that place... with those... people...
    I know that Ngmoco is working on a better matching system (i think), but I'm level 15 and I constantly keep getting matched up against level 25 or higher. What a waste of credits and energy. :(

    Actually it's no fun to play against the same people all the time as it is for me right now. I'm currently playing against the same top 20. I would also love to play against random people...because it's far more interesting to play against other lower level players since they play more strategically than most vaporizors or rocket launching folks. The pace of the game is so fast it gets tiring really fast. For me the perfect matching looks like this: 2/3 games like they are right now, based on similar skill level. 1/3 just completely random matching.

    The advantages are:
    - you get to rest :)
    - you get to know new employees
    - you get to loose your skill level faster if you do badly then
    - others can improve faster if they win against higher leveled employees
    - matching will be faster for every 3rd game, since the system will just throw you into whatever game currently begins.
    - lower-leveled employees can motivation to level up
    - lower-leveled employees get to see some nice tricks from the pros

    I don't understand how dvessel is winning all these games and getting all these kills without getting any skill or even being in world matches.

    Like honestly the guy is terrible every time I'm in a match with him he won't even manage to kill me once yet he's the top kills and top games won.

    I think the pathetic truth is he has a second iPhone/iPod touch and a second plus+ account and he sits there for hours on end killing an inanimate object in private matches just to get his kills up because he knows the raw truth is that he has no skill. Good work dvagina.
