[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

That is true and I suppose it depends. I've managed to outrun regular AoEs like usual but for example the AoE the queen in Dun Scaith does right after jump? I already know she will do one so I move before she even jumps and if I'm near the jump area, I move asap before the AoE even appears. I fully agree faster flashing AoEs and savage content would be a problem but still doable. Definitely frustrating and agitating when you die to mechanics you know just cause you reacted a second too late, but if you are not doing any of this and raid more on the casual side - just doing ex primals, you should be fine with 220~ ping. I by no means want to minimlaize the situation. I too hoped it won't be California and I too was biting my nails anticipating to test the horror when I scored whooping 220ms on ping check. I just want to stress, one can adapt to this increase.

There are multiple contributing factors to my pre-echo mediocre blues but that's not what this topic is about. I simply stopped using my high ping as an excuse for my own mediocre play--something that I did for a long time.

But I do know the frustration of watching the GCD end while still stuck in the oGCD animation. It's just something some people have been dealing with even before the move. I also understand how annoying this will be for the 1% speed killers and world proggers coz even a mediocre player like me can feel the change in ping and how it messes up CD timings and stuff.

I am pretty ambivalent with this matter coz on one hand my ping got lower while on the other I have friends who are now unable to double weave and some might even have to transfer out of the NA servers. What I do find amusing though are those who are not part of the 1% or don't even raid at all even casually but still say that the game is unplayable now with 100 ms ping.

Those people with 100ping or way lesser... making FUN of people that suffer from the new server location are such imbecile's! >.>
Dont these 'spoiled' brats has nothing to do than being afk on there 40ms and posting crap on forums?! o___O

If THEY had the same problems they would be mad and making threads too!

Move to a better server or move to a place with better routing.

Thing is people have 100-200 ping thinking its ok for some reason. Most if not all of them are the bad players thst never do anything but dungons.

Idk...UK player in my FC is healing just fine...

I love the new crutch people all of a sudden discovered.

That's pretty much what I'm taking away from this too. The server move screwed over some of my friends' rotations, and I am highly sympathetic to people in their type of situation. On the other hand, I've noted so far that I can now do my opener as a Bard without needing to use Feint to double-weave two oGCDs before the buffs fall off. The way you see most people play though, this server move won't make a difference at all, unless everyone is suddenly an armchair raider.

I average 180 ping after the move and I'm perfectly fine with it because I honestly can't tell the difference with how it was before. It's also a really stupid assumption to say that people with high ping are bad players. You don't know that.

Hmm. Here I was thinking I jumped the gun in moving to Chaos so soon cause of raid scheduling, but it looks like I was right on the ball. Haven't been on in a while but it'll be hilarious if I get better ping on Chaos than on Aether

As an addendum to my post yesterday, I average 180 ping at the moment and I honestly can't tell the difference with how it was before, aside from *maybe* a slight delay on gathering.

And yes, I am an EU player.
