EU servers needed !!! Stand up and shout fellow EU players !!!

You really don't want to petition for servers in the EU. The main reason why is because it wouldn't solve the main issue of instance servers (what you actually play on when doing Titan HM and similar). Even if they also added instance servers in the EU you would then have the problem of massive segregation because then when a US / EU team gets matched up on Duty Finder which data center do they use for the instance? EU or US. If they use EU then those US players matched up are screwed. The costs of hosting in the EU are also prohibitive, which is why many MMO's just don't do it. If they did you would have to live with a reduced spend on new content as they would be making a lot less money.

Petition instead for a transit server. Similar to what WTFast, Battleping and various services offer they need dedicated VPN tunnels across the atlantic so then they keep there big server farms in the JP / US regions and we connect to the game via a server in Europe that then has a direct link tunnel to the US.

I've been using the WTFast trial service and as soon as I did I started dodging everything in Titan HM, without it I hit everything without fail. I don't want to particularly pay extra just to be able to play end game but its looks like as usual EU = shafted.

It will never ever happen. But I would love it to... When PvP comes, there will be so much raging because of that server delay. But SE really don't care.

This sounds like a good idea. I might try WTFast. Have you used Pingzapper and does one perform better than the other?

They don't care.
Lag is very bad and some of us are cut out altogether from endgame.
There's this thread:

Not a single meaningful answer. Just a post from a mod that shows they are NOT EVEN READING (or ignoring the elephant in the room and giving a fake answer to not address the issue, which is more likely).
This issue is what will kill the game.

Oh, and WTFast, Pingzapper and Battleping and other similar programs don't do anything noticeable for me.

As I said earlier in the postes, as a band aid, SE can give us VPN tunneling.

I didnt think of the Duty servers matching us and EU together. But Still I havent seen a JP player in the duty, nor US players. All ive talked with was sitting in EU somewhere.
Is there any confirmed info that actually US and EU and JP are mixed together in the duty?`Or just EU in one JP in another and US in 3rd? And on that note, still hasnt encounterd any JP only players in duty finder.

Not sure for JP, but we're paired with US for sure.
There's a post somewhere with the server pairing. Also, I've been playing with US quite often (I play at nighttime).

I c must stay up late then
But since JP is on their own Duty servers then, why not make EU duty servers and US servers seperate then ? I dont see the problem. IOf a serverpark is in EU then our Duty server is there aswell. and if you want to play with US play on a US server
