The Horrors of DF & PT and a request for changes SE

[Dreamer]

Your best bet is to transfer and use a VPN service. The alternatives? Stay with what you are doing and hope SE changes something ( you'll be waiting a very very long time). Or play another game I guess.

VPNs can only help optimize routes. They can't magically negate several thousand miles of distance.

playing with <235ms from the philippines is more than fine.

playing in an asian region expecting english is silly as there is no "official" english servers for the region only option is to switch over to NA/EU

Yoshida said that the players should choose the server which is the nearest to them.
It should be about latency, not language

The "unofficial" server? The choice is clear where people are going to play on a "lag and die" driven game. I know most Americans don't know this but, there are other countries that speak English, like Australia, whose nearest data center is in Japan. SE has never advertise any server as anything but a regional server, not a language server. No one is playing on Masamune "unofficially". In fact when this was 1.0 all servers were in Japan and Masamune was full of EN players. When the split came SE did not tell people "if you don't speak Japanese don't use Japan Data centers", we were to use the ones that were closer to our homes. So please stop with the "It's your fault for playing on a Japan server, even though you live there/near there."

I don't live in the US. Way to fit right into another version of "you americans so dumb!"

edit: And yes it is "unofficial" because it is a JP server, the fact that the Oceanic players flocked there is BY THEIR OWN CHOICES. Apparently said lag and everything you experience in DF/PF/DR is worth it if you're still playing the game.
