[Data Center USA] Ping increased. Report your changes here.

I just logged out.

Was fighting the Cruise Chaser in Alexander. Died five times with NOTHING AROUND ME! I have never died in that fight before tonight. I live in NC, and I'm running speed test right now, and I have plenty of bandwidth and speed.

This is utter BS what they did. Last night, didn't have any issues. This time, running Dragoon on a fight that requires timing, I have no shot.

I'm so damn angry at this moment. I nearly threw my keyboard through my TV.

I did a little research yesterday, as someone playing from Germany.

German Network until NTT, I simmer at a Ping up to 48 ms.
NTT Frankfurt, the first node in the chain, until NTT Ashburn/Virginia (VA2), I get the usual 'to be expected' 100 ms bump, still playable, even if it makes Dual oGCD or Stance Dance tricky. Sitting at 135-140 ms.
From there, it goes to CA4 (not designated yet, but the hints point to San Jose, or, what NTT calls it on their website, Santa Clara), with another bump of 60 ms. And from there, it goes to CA2/Sacramento, staying in the 200-230 ms range.

It does make some classes questionable to play, at least with the mindset of 'clip GCD or aren't greedy as hell on some 3rd party tool's logfiles, better be slain with a spade iRL' that the NA community has.

It sounds to me more like some players just have to reassess what they can do. Their old super-optimal MAXIMUM DEEPS they used to pull was nice, but was never necessary for anything. Seems more like crying now that they have to be just very slightly less optimal, and now they can't feel superior to everyone they used to mock (or they have to find some other reason to feel superior to mock people).

(not suggesting you were among those, just your post was there, so I used it)

I shouldn't have to pay more to get a game to always respond to what I do
I shouldn't have my enjoyment impacted by poor coding and a server move.

Just because you do not care, does not mean others do care and find it fun to just play like that, has nothing to do with mocking people.

I get it, but, from the outside perspective, it just seems like one group got too used to life in the fast lane, and now that they're normal like the rest of us, the reaction is nearly comical. You took your low ping for granted, and now that you're down on our level, you're realizing just how good you had it.

Hard to sympathize when I never saw half as many voices calling for the rest of us to be raised up to your level. Where were you when we were the slow ones?

I'm from Montreal and I barely notice a difference. I can still double weave no clip the same as before. Ping varying between 100MS and 120MS. Also I play on PS4.

However, just flipping the groups that get hell and that get paradise isn't the smartest choice either.

Feel free to contact SE yourself if you can set them up with the resources necessary to put a server in every city.

Well to be fair, the East Coast does have double the population of the West Coast. I suppose more voices would make it louder. Honestly, they should have stuck it in Chicago or Texas, but I figure some money saving is related to the Sacramento choice.

Now I wonder if saving some money is worth the backlash...
should touch up that coding for 3.0... and maybe item issues.. they wanted too long it seems...
