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

[Kosmos992k]

The only reason I am worried is because the game is laggy as is under 40 ms. If the game was like normal? I shouldn't feel the effect of 40 ms to 100 ms. I am just hoping the server upgrade stops the 2 second delay for some things. Also I suspect everyone from Midwest to east coast had pings increased, I just do not see that benefiting more people then it harms. If they put it in the center, a lot of people would have decreased or same ping, not this help one group more, harm another.

If you think any game can be considered laggy with under 40ms latency, your expectations are far, far too high. That's 1/25th of a second, I'm not sure you can consciously perceive that short a time in any case.

"NTT America" I wonder if it's on here:

I do not think I have high expectations. I am just trying to inform that the game is still laggy dispite that, and I suspect that is from how the server processes things. It is way too damn slow. I should not be missing out on a chain when I killed something 2 second to go. I should not worry about using bane too fast because bio is too slow to appear. Having lustrate go on CD/ aether use but not heal anything means there is something very wrong. Having deathflare start the animation but not go off? Spinting before a melee LB is used, then get hit by it while behind a wall + 5 miles away from it.... I suspect between net lag and time the server processes things, everything is delayed by a full second to two full seconds. I also find it weird how I complete a leave say at 15:02 and do not get the time bonus. You need to kill something in 7 seconds, not 10, to keep the chain, that is an issue. Using LB and having deplete the meter, and do no damage, no healing, no whatever lb you are using, is a huge issue. Everything you can think off in the game suffers by this, I am tried of being hit by things I dodged as well, I shouldn't be hit by something when I am a foot or more away from the marker before it vanished.

I'm sorry, but that's an issue that has nothing to do with the servers. Before the server swap I had 66ms and ran the game with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

The amount of overreaction in this thread...

I've been an east coaster who, over the course of several MMOs, has chosen to play on west coast servers. Unless I manually checked the ping times, I never noticed a lag difference between east and west coast servers. Internet Warriors really need to stop overreacting.

If you live in North America--regardless of where-- you will have no problem playing on a west coast data centre. Sure, you may not have that precious 40 ping, but it will be more than playable and you won't even notice it as you play the game.

As for EU players? Stick to the EU data centre. Seriously.

Chill out, people.

Maybe I would have if the servers didn't start out in North America and we only got EU servers much later, when you have housing, a good FC and a bunch of friends. What you expect me to leave that behind? Want me to pay for a server transfer on top of that as well? I don't think so.

This this and this. Telling this all day long. EU Server came way to late to expect us to leave everything behind.

Some EU players used to play in 1.0 when there was no EU data center. It's not that easy to just leave a server you made hundreds of friends on. I'm gonna give it a try anyway, see if it is playable with a 200ish ping. I don't have high hopes though. :/

Please do not tell people: if this change makes the game unplayable, shut up and choose between "stay with all your friends, but be unable to play" vs "abandon all your friends and social contacts, to transfer so you can at least play through the game". Since a huge draw of MMOs is the human interrelationships, please do not be rudely tone deaf.

I managed to do savage even on 250~ ping. Downside is there's a little bit of GCD clipping when you're double weaving. I can still easily dodge AOEs too.
