[Sign petition ] Real EU servers based in EU need signs support the cause.

how is saying it's the game client 'white knighting'?

it is SE's fault. they made the game. they can't fix the client for some reason. they decided to have a .3 delay. they decided to .. I don't know.. use cheap servers or a cheap server structure?

it is NOT SE's 'fault' for picking a server location that IS reasonable, though. SE is not Blizzard. keep that in mind.

and I'm honestly sick and tired of people claiming that ARR is the only game where all servers are in NA.

it's the same for TSW and LOTRO and I never have issues in those games.

and goddammit a ping of 120 hardly makes a game unplayable, either. when will you folks realise what ping actually is? just because you have a higher number than your friend who lives right next to the server doesn't mean you have BAD ping. bad ping would be ~300, and even with such a ping I managed to play MMOs relatively ok in the past. hell. I've done pvp with a ping of 200+ (and yes, I'm good at it :P)

@Choyi
next time you quote someone, please make sure you understand the entry you are supposedly counter-arguing.
I HAVE the issues. I said I don't have the issues in OTHER games. I simply understand that a different server location will NOT fix the problems for the majority - but only for a small minority. most people do NOT have lag because of the ping - they have lag because of bad servers, the internal delay, a non-polished client and all that other junk that SE will hopefully hopefully hopefully be able to fix in the next couple of months. heck, I'd probably already have way less issues if for example I was able to turn off shadows completely, but that is hardly helping me in titan, for example, where these issues become the most apparent (and yes, I do watch the castbar like a hawk)

If 200ms was the only problem I'd be perfectly fine playing, this is not the case however, and the .3s delay isn't even the issue here either.
And no SE is not the only MMO company with NA only servers, the problem here is the data centers are from a bad server host, the routing and package loss is the issue.

Tell me how you would work around 2-3sec freeze lagg, random 90k error or rubberbanding effects, there is no solution to that.
I'd much prefer that SE would actualy make an effort to improve the server structure rather then having a EU dedicated server(most of my in game friends are outside of EU), but if thats not going to happen then I'd rather be able to play at all.

And I'd have around 200ms in game with a paid VPN, just to be able to play the game, thats an extra 12 euro a month, and that isn't a percfect playing experience either.

Also just because you don't have the issue doesn't make thoose who have it spoiled people who just want to complain at SE.

I am seeing a lot of people without issues, I have personally had no issues with this, logically if the problem was down to SE it would affect everyone, I would in the first instance contact my ISP and tell them the issues, so they can first investigate, all because of the amount of people seeing no issues.

Also as said before I can ping the game servers with 0% packet loss so again perhaps contact your ISP, to see if it's a problem with them.
