Gundam Evolution: How to Change Server
Gundam Evolution, a 5v5 hero shooter from Bandai Namco, is quite an attention-grabbing online experience. The time-to-kill in this game is extremely short and battles require as much precision as possible in a moment.
Because of this, it is extremely important that players are on the correct server for their location and latency in order to have the best overall experience. So let’s take a look at exactly how players should switch servers Gundam Evolutionas it is easy to miss
How to change servers
Well, contrary to what one might think, the Server Change option isn’t found on the main hub screen or even in the settings menu. Instead, players must ensure that the “Press Button to Start” intro screen appears after launching the game. If they miss it they will have to completely restart the game to get back to this menu.
On the intro screen, there is an option in the top right that says “Matching Area” with a drop down box. Click the dropdown menu and select the closest region of your choice for the most stable connection. There are currently only four options between Japan, North America, Asia and Europe.
Why you want to change servers
Aside from the obvious reason for switching servers, that it only makes sense to choose the server closest to where you live, there are a few other reasons to do so.
For one, this game is inherently quite chaotic and mechanically busy. No matter what map or objective, players are constantly in the heat of battle and must respond to the situation as quickly as possible.
Whether that’s expressed by being hit from multiple directions, being stunned, targeting specific enemy units, or just charging out of a G-maneuver, there’s a lot to react to. Because of this, players need a connection that responds to their actions as instantaneously as possible, and this is where server choice comes into play.
Second, players might find that they have better matches against players in other regions. For example, a player might find that their connection is fine on the Japanese server and that the games they play on that server are much closer to their preferred difficulty level, beginner or veteran, than the North American server, which is closer to them .
And the third and final reason is that a Gundam Evolution player can live in an area relatively in between all four server locations and have to change servers to test which one works best for them. In any situation in this game, it’s relatively easy to miss the option if the player doesn’t know where it is.
