Playing on PS4 (in Arizona) and it feels exactly the same!

[Tachyon]

I went from 120+ to 25-35 average

I live in California though

I told people for months they were moving them to California because they already own the necessary property there but no one believed me.

When the EU servers moved, I cleared titan ex at level 50 with 400 ping. I had to move servers to a 260 ping server (which is now 180 thanks to the move). Pretty sure 170ping isn't that terrible.
Heck, I even got into the top 10 once in pvp with 260 ping. And in pvp you can't really predict what the enemy is going to do, like in pve.

This is a sad day indeed.
Anyone know if we can try to get this on the Letters to the Producers as a question? Would be nice to hear their throughts on this after all of us on the forum crying out.

I imagine he would say something similar to what he said in response to the Diadem outcry:

[Hetchy]

It seems specious when you make that statement before you move the servers to a secret location that you know will subsequently screw over vast swaths of players to having -- you guessed it, 200ms latency, AT BEST.

But don't worry, stop complaining! 200ms is fine, great, perfectly playable and enjoyable. In fact, those under 200ms should really be lagged out by the server to 200ms. I mean...that's how they've proclaimed the game should be played, right? It's probably better at 200ms if you really give it a chance!

Please. 200ms is not worth $15 a month. I'll move to EU if I experience that to be better, I guess, but the very idea I have to do that is ridiculous. I can't imagine how many new players this will chase away. If I hadn't just hit 60, met fun players, and really enjoyed the game (crafting and gathering can be fun? who knew), there's not a chance in the world I would continue on with this.

Just, what the hell?
