Latency/Connection Issues Since the Launch of the EU Data Center

[stormyoda]

ISP: CenturyLink

Country of Residence: United States, Virginia, East Coast

When does the problem occur?: At the moment, nonstop. Gameplay is impossible.

Frequency: Problem has occured quite often (at least a few times a day) before the 3.1 patch, some days not at all, but SINCE the 3.1 release, the 90002 errors are CONTINUOUS. Yesterday, I managed to get maybe an hour of gameplay into the span of 4 of 5 hours of suffering with this error, nonstop
Today, every time I get connected to the game, within 30 seconds to 1 minute. I check my data transfer in the top right corner. It has now been showing 0 packets uploading and 0 packets downloading the majority of the time I get my character online. From time to time, the lag spike drops and a little action happens around me, with a huge surge of data that ranges from 2000 to upwards of 15000 packets received at once, then the data lags again, then inevitably, my connection drops, and the 90002 error takes me back to my main menu. By the way, I play on Playstation 3, if that helps at all.

Game content in which problem occurs: All, but especially high latency in towns such as Idyllshire (where I typically like to camp/sanctuary).

*Note: Although I live in the US (Virginia), and play on the EU server, up until this new patch 3.1, I have been able to play most days of the week, usually fairly smoothly, at times a bit laggy, but not just continuosly being dropped like this (at least not since I changed my network settings over to OpenDNS, which cleaned up some major issues I had run into with this game). I noticed this 3.1 patch has introduced an updated client (dated 11.05) the previous client being way back in June 2015, so possibly that did something to our systems? Just tossing that idea out there. I think the majority of my issues are from the new patch being installed. Before this Tuesday, at least I could play for a few hours without the dreaded "DC error" hitting me.

Character: Storm Cloudchaser, Phoenix server, EU Data Center I like it here, don't make me relocate....I hate to move (you always have to spend money and inevitably repaint).
