Regardless of your skill, search the server list for a server called Solid Mike.
California based server, i use port 60000 as the default port 265000 can cause problems for some.
I tend to make 15 slot servers, but that proved to cause bugs of all sorts, so I've been making 10 slot servers recently.
Heres a list of things to keep in mind when joining:
Pings stabilize after a minute or so.
If you cannot kill, try dieing and re-spawning.
If you cant seem to die ask a fellow player to help lure a titan to you, when you die it SHOULD fix.
If you cannot use your hooks or gas, press P and make sure your key config is set, if its set correctly you may need to die and re-spawn.
Please chose a name and character, bugs may arise when i have multiple no names playing.
