New server location made unplayable for south american players

[AlyceDetoldev]

...maybe cause theyre too casual...

Rly? -.-
I done some A12S today and was OK.

[GilbertSenchaid]

Almost half a second of delay isn't ok. I'm not being able to dodge a bunch of stuff i could dodge just fine before, also having that delay while healing screws the whole party.

SE themselves said the game was designed to be played in a 200 ping environment. If you're higher than that, taking a break (of you can't use a VPN) would probably be a good decision.

[Mekhana]

VPN drops from 300 to 250-200 at most. I used to play at 170ms before and Montreal was a much larger distance.

[NotKawaii]

Same issue here, the problem my conection is going to EU before USA. Making my ping be like 300+, the ping was suposed to get better. But the route its a mess.

[HoodRat]

My friend said SE has nothing to do with that, it's on your ISP. If that's the case, I highly doubt SE will hand out refunds because your ISP is screwing you over.

[Kaizersan]

Been telling people for months that they were moving the servers to California but no one believed me till now.

[Kyln]

You aren't the only one suffering. There are several EU/Canadian players and also NA east coast players who are experiencing the same latency issues.

Seems SE forgot that California isn't the only state in the U.S.

[Mekhana]

Some official response would be nice.
