Latency more than 130ms

[Kallisti]

The non-action combat system in the game - combat system in this game in a nutshell -> get out of the red danger area before it disappears. Even if you move behind the monster or are way out of reach of it's swing arc when it does the animation you will still get hit.

I'm playing from NZ and not getting this lag. You are either exaggerating, a terrible player, or need to change your ISP asap. Though if you with a piddly 130ms keep getting hit then I'm going to go with you are a terrible player.

The point is not about how much latency you get but the fact the servers are called EU which means they should be based in EU like countless other mmorpg's out there.

otherwise change the name to suite the location.

Tons of game have had "Oceanic servers" which are actually in the US. This is a case where the "EU servers" are in the US. It happens. We don't even have servers labelled for us, and the location of the servers favours the EU anyway, which has impacted our ping down here. I would've preferred servers in the California area.

I'm not playing from NZ/Australia, I play from Europe. I assume I have around 120ms because that's the average europeans get on NA servers. Secondly, you need to stop pulling words into existence, I haven't said anything about me being hit. I'm just saying that coming from ~50ms gameplay from various games this feels laggy and uncomfortable to play. Yes you can get used to it and another yes - it is quite a difference. Again, having played with sub 60ms for over 10 years in various games this does feel like shit but still barely works for an MMO.

You're talking to people with experience playing games at 300ms + even. You know, Oceanic people - we always play with high pings because of distance so we know what works and what doesn't, and when there is a problem not caused by distance (ISP, server, or routing issues) and when a person is just moaning for no reason at all. So long as the ping is under 350ms you should be able to cope. Preferably under 300ms. A ping of 130ms is perfectly fine and you should be having no issues avoiding the red circles.

We in NZ/Aus with our 300ms+ pings to the servers are having no problems avoiding the red circles so if you're getting hit at 130ms then it's a l2p issue.

Yesterday i created character on one of japanese server. And guess what? 30-50 latency in game!!! Against 500-1500ms on canadian.
So maybe there is easy solution to move part or all EU servers to japanese datacenter?

It seems you're here to just put people down who complain about servers being in NA. My point is not that "120ms is unplayable!! moan moan complain" (like you make it to be) but that it could be better (frankly it's how you are supposed experience online games - with ~60ms). Oceania is probably the worst continent to be on to play online games since rarely do companies erect local servers there and instead players have to connect to asian/NA and that sucks, but over here we/me rarely game at such extreme delay. So I thought I'd complain about it here and hopefully they do something about it.

The point is at 130ms you don't have a problem to complain about. At 130ms all you have is a pebkac issue.

Imho even 300ms should not be problem in this game, when you consider this game is iternational MMO released worldwide with only 2 datacenters, there is to be expected there will be ppl with over 250ms ping. Game's netcode should have some prediction/lag compensation tricks so most of its playerbase can play without issues but it seems there are no such things in netcode at all.
