NA could be world first...

[ShaneDawn]

You do realize a lot of people even on EU/NA region can play with really low ping?

EU/NA did not lose the race because of ping issues, or if you really believe that, then go ask the teams if they felt inconvenienced. In the first place, caring about regions in this race is silly. The nation of Japan did not win this race, it was a team compromised of Ex-Lucrezia members. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Congrats to "Lucrezia" for yet another Coil WF.

What's next, the devs will run a check on your game, and if it has an account in the JP region, it will have its packets prioritized? This is just silly. Where was the argument over world first ping being a problem with the servers were on the east coast? Oh wait, there wasn't one.

But there was. There's a reason why the forums exploded when everyone found out that the servers were moving to Sacramento. There's also a reason why the servers were being moved TO Sacramento in the first place, and it was because west coast players were pretty vocal about ping issues. You may not have seen it, but it was there, and I say this as a west coast player who considers the server move to have been a mistake overall for the health of the overall NA community.

Oh sure there were complaints from west coasters about ping, but i dont ever remember any threads popping up about world first races being "ping advantageous" Sounds more like an excuse to me than anything.

I remember forums blow up of rage when they say they move the server to other coast east coast players where mad about it I still have bitter taste on my mouth.It wouldn't be issue centralize the server.we where cheering west coast player to have same quality life changes like us east coast player & same time been equal foot but the end we got slapped.Alot my east coast friends stop playing cuz they cant do stuff they used too & wont buy vpn for that so they unsub.

IDK MAN PING IS LOVE PING IS LIFE

[Magic-Mal]

I cant believe ping is seriously being blamed now lol

[Felis]

Its sad NA and EU teams have a slight disadvantage because "Ping" is a thing.

My ping to the Chaos datacenter is lower than 50

[MysteryNotes]

If we have better location for the server *cough*chicago*cough*pingmattersdotcom*cough*.Those DDOS where quite painful for progression sacramento servers seem quite vulnerable to it.but hey i am just casual player :^)

Well if ping was such a big deal for you, why don't you move to the state in which the servers are in then?

[Fourbestintoner]

Agreed
SE is treating foreign players as second class customers, the servers should be in Chicago.
