A request from European players.

I understand the premise may have been that due to the game's design, top notch latency would not be strictly necessary and this - to an extent - is true. Regardless, the delays we're dealing with now lead to absolutely abysmal responsiveness and degraded experience.

Gameplay becomes clunky, unpredictable and downright stiff when you're exposed to issues such as inability to hit moving monsters with melee attacks, monsters reacting to threat change and relocating accordingly after as much as several seconds, cancelled casts still going through for another half a second, all sorts of issues with directional attacks & facing - it's a mess vaguely reminiscent of driving a car with a flat tire. I imagine some of it may have to do with poor quality of the game's net code, but I hope it's not the case.

Subjective comfort notwithstanding, running a risk of failing to avoid an AoE effect due to lag alone in a game laced with such mechanics is a critical flaw.

Oh on a different note - this thread's topic is so ambiguous that it doesn't really say anything at all. That won't really bring any views.

The reality that SE didn't made any servers in EU leads me to opinion that they are so moneyhungry, that they don't even care if their game is playable or not. If I knew that there are no real EU servers, I wouldn't buy this game.. and here I am, progressing Coil T2 with lags.. -.-

If I recall right, during initial server trouble, where SE's resources turned out to be grossly inadequate, they commented that the interest in the game far exceeded their expectations. This might be why EU was given such cold treatment. It doesn't really justify the ongoing situation though.

Yes, I know that.. but that was 2 months ago.
If they tried, we would have our own EU servers in a few weeks.
