NEED Oceanic Server!!

So as I was trying to figure out why I keep getting hit by aoe that im obviously not in I came to think to check out the ping and due to that there it was high ping....Now i'm pretty sure it's really annoying and trying to get a number of people who would really want at least 1 or 2 oceanic servers out there for us that live in these regions because it sucks that NA EU and JP get servers but we're stuck with nothing....So what do you guys think.

PS I'm really bad at writing :/

I play on Tonberry as an Australian and I don't seem to have many issues dodging AoE but I do use a VPN (Battleping) and it really helps. Have you tried port forwarding yet?
As a whole, we're just too small to cater to.

well ive tried to use WTFast but it only really seems to drop a little bit does battlping work better if you purchase it ?

The best way to test it is to get the free trail, test it on a AoE intensive encounter (I recommend titan or the second boss in Dzemeal Darkhold, Taulurd) and see if it's an improvement over not having it. After that you can make the decision on purchasing it or not.

alrighty thanks a lot :3

Aoes go by the cast bar not the red circle. The circle disappears about half a second later. It can look like you're escaping because of this difference but if you watch the cast bar, you're still in when it finishes.

EU servers are actually in the NA data center with the NA servers. They're labelled as EU so that people in europe can easily find a server with players on their types of timezones. While it may not be as drastic as what you're experiencing, I still have to deal with my internet going from Ireland to Canada and back.

battle ping seems to be doing wonders and cheap to pay for only aboput 200 ping ish so it dropped a good amount thanks again guys :D but we still need a server for AUS/NZ

So you need Oceanic servers, right.

You do know there are no European servers, don't you? That kinda makes Oceanic servers as remote of a possibility as it is for us to find Atlantis :D

not sure exactly how many oceanic players but i am pretty sure it is not enough to justify an oceanic server (when Europe don't even have theirs either...)

what we need is a designated LABEL for Oceania/SEA/APAC region....

Aaaaaand it will be located in Canada.

The last MMO I played shut down the Oceanic servers due to lack of people on them. They said it was so empty that they had to wait three hours or more in que to do simple 4 man things. Of course they also complained once the servers were shut down. lol

I do not understand how this relates to my answer. You're also wrong, there are no EU servers, there are only Japan and Canadian servers, labels do not mean anything, really.

Also, I'm European.

I suggest you focus more on your reading comprehension, my good sir.

Invest in Battleping it Works sucks we have to but only person you gotta blame is Abbot

You know I have a suggestion for you guys who are lagging, Un-park your cores if they are parked.

Right click > Task manager > Performance > Resource monitor, On the right side or where ever yours is at you will see that either you have 2 cores and 2 others are parked.

mine were parked I had same lag, I unparked my 2 cores and my FPS went up and my lag went away, not sure if it will help but it did for me just a thought.

I definitely think it would me awesome to have oceanic servers!:o

Any tips on what to do for AUS PS3 players? I just get terrible lag sometimes and it doesn't bother me too much, but when I'm fighting Primals, I hardly ever miss a hit, I hate it ;-;
Really hoping the PS4 will improve this, though I'm also thinking maybe I should just upgrade my computer and play on there again :/.

I take it that this is for Windows 7 or maybe 8? I have my client installed on Win XP & Vista. While I know that XP isn't supported anymore, at least Vista's Resource Monitor are quite different than 7. Would be great to clarify the OS solution. :)
