Latency more than 130ms

[Axgard]

Japanese game has Euro servers in Canada? Seriously? Even for Central EU players it's not a good placement. It's acceptable for most NA players but not for Europe players.

Most online game has their EU servers in France or Germany, it's a common servers placement. So why you are so special? Or it's special politics to raise overal latency? And you planing to add PvP?..

Whatever I didn't do (public/private UDPproxy from several countries), it don't help me to lower latency. On another hand, mostly all other games works fine and don't raise higher than 50-60ms (usual 30-35). Even now i have some problems with reacting on NPC actions in-time. What would be when PvP comes?

I'm sure SE's plans for pvp are just as generic as everything else in the game. With the lag, and latency issues every has I bet this game's pvp will be just as <sarcasm>exciting</sarcasm> as pvp is in GW2.

But if you are waiting for servers to open in new locations.. I would not hold your breath. This should have been done months ago, and with all the players dropping this game atm I seriously doubt SE wants to spend more money opening up new server locations. But I guess we will never know because SE does not communicate with the player base. After all this forum is for players to contact and get help from other players... Not SE reps.

I used to love getting MMO's at launch because its fun to discover a whole new world. But after the last 10 years of MMO releases I think its just best to wait about a year before trying them. They all release with so many problems that none of the are worth a sub price in the first 12 months.

CT will not improve this game, nor will housing or PvP. To improve the game the devs need to fix the glaring issues first. The main one of those glaring issues is server locations.

They wont get us EU servers because all the square enix white knights on this forum keep telling them that we aren't having problems with lag when we clearly are. Just try getting out of the red circles in coil during prime time raiding hours, it's impossible.

must suck to have 130ms wish i had it tho 350-450ms from australia to NA servers. reason i play on NA servers is i have alot of friends in NA that choose that server. i just learnt to premove for everything.

130ms is horrible in MMORPG? Oh c'mon, problems only start once it reaches 300's. On the other hand, there are people who say 47ms is unplayable, too. Blinking your eyes takes 300-400ms.

Normal people choose EU servers to play with good latencies or/and good conditions, 130ms is horrible yes.
In 2013, players expect good servers to play in good conditons.
Square Enix did put their said EU servers in Canada, it doesn't help, but those servers seem to not handle big amount of players. So in Europe we have 130-150ms base latencies + server lags on week end and on the week at players' activity spikes.
The "EU" tag on servers is a troll. No need to try to defend SE about this.

130ms in this game is horrible. For example - if i summon mount while running i get "interrupted" message after cast bar is already full. Or when i'm loading into new location i get about 1 second delay before i can freely move my character at any directions and it after new zone is shows up.
And 130 ms i've got when pinging server IP, so there may be some additional latency between client-server connection.

PS: And I usually blink of an eyes less than 250ms.

300 build in + 140-200 latency is kinda huge for an MMO where you have to be "out of the fire".

This^

130ms is perfectly playable, NZ/Aus players have to live with 300ms + on most games. Seriously, big whoop, 130ms

Oh man, must suck trying to premove everything and become dead weight to your team by the loss of damage, dispositions and much more. - Please, the whole "It sucks more to be me so you should handle it because I am PredictionMasterX and crippled by performance so there's nothing stopping you." argument simply doesn't work.
Sure people exaggerate a bit when they say 130ms is unplayable but they're absolutely right about it impacting performance when the majority are probably used to 50ms~.

You know what else is an exaggeration?

130ms is perfectly playable

130ms isn't perfectly playable by all means. Another one who thinks because they got a worse connection that other people should tolerate it. It's listed as an EU Server and at first I expected it to be an EU Server and if I knew before hand that the game's server were physically positioned in Canada I would have probably not had tried the game out.

You two on the other hand? Chose to roll on a NA server, we chose to roll on a EU server not a server that's thousands of miles away and across the sea.
