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

I guess some people are experiencing battle system changes earlier than others.



I'm sorry, that was terrible.

Yeah, slidecasting is canceling my casts now. Any ideas on how to mitigate this?

Just delay your slidecast a little longer. You'll soon get used to the new timing of it. I was doing it just fine at 90 ping, and could even do it at 175 ping back in the day.
Edit: I just tested, and with 45 ping I can now stutter step when casting at about the 60% mark on the cast bar. With 90 ping it was more like around 75% of it. Just to give you an idea.

And I had zero issues double weaving ogcd abilities at an average 90 ping before the data centre move. It was impossible to do more than one without clipping at 175 ping, but 90 certainly not impossible.

So where are the people benefiting form this?
Probably too happy playing the game.

And yes i am upset too but i doubt that SE is going to revert their move.

No one thinks they're gonna revert the move or go somewhere else or whatever. Venting is allowed, as much as people hate seeing it here. We all pay for the product, yadda yadda.

The main issue people have here is that they decided to literally swing the pendulum in the other direction, as opposed to making a reasonable decision to centralize the server location to allow for a variety of routing options for users, and less ping issues from sheer distance.

If you complain at the EU playerbase for opting to stay with the NA clusters instead of transferring over when it opened in Frankfurt, you are conveniently forgetting that the distance these datacenters moved are very nearly the distance between Montreal and Frankfurt in the first place. Why would they have reason to believe the servers would suddenly move 4000 kilometers?

And even disregarding the decision for EU players to remain on NA datacenters...they moved it from one coast to the next. Instead of trying to compromise to create a reasonable connection for everyone, suddenly west coast and SEA players are enjoying privileges that the east coasters had stripped.

I went up from av. 110 to 170... I know it is still playable and so far i haven't notice a real difference... But it is not EU prime time, it could change in the evening hours when traffic starts to get heavy

[Sida]

Could somone figure out an IP in a relevant datacenter in the middle everyone is coveting about, just so people could test if they'd get any difference at all?

[GoreBacke]

Dumb lala.
btw my ping is 54 :^)

'SEA Players + Privilege?' I'm cackling, we went from 240 ping to 170 ping, in comparison to a lot of other players, 170 is still in the spectrum of 'Impossible to play'. Personally, I'm loving the lower ping, but please don't say SEA players have privilege of anything, we don't have our own Servers, let alone our own DATA CENTRE.
