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

Please people, do not brag about the one time u got orange percentile under echo in Creator with the rest of your non-echo percentiles in blue like we can't look up the percentiles in a new tab. Then the nerve to talk about mediocre performance. Stop. This argument actually hurts you more than helps.

There are multiple contributing factors to my pre-echo mediocre blues but that's not what this topic is about. I simply stopped using my high ping as an excuse for my own mediocre play--something that I did for a long time.

But I do know the frustration of watching the GCD end while still stuck in the oGCD animation. It's just something some people have been dealing with even before the move. I also understand how annoying this will be for the 1% speed killers and world proggers coz even a mediocre player like me can feel the change in ping and how it messes up CD timings and stuff.

I am pretty ambivalent with this matter coz on one hand my ping got lower while on the other I have friends who are now unable to double weave and some might even have to transfer out of the NA servers. What I do find amusing though are those who are not part of the 1% or don't even raid at all even casually but still say that the game is unplayable now with 100 ms ping.

That's pretty much what I'm taking away from this too. The server move screwed over some of my friends' rotations, and I am highly sympathetic to people in their type of situation. On the other hand, I've noted so far that I can now do my opener as a Bard without needing to use Feint to double-weave two oGCDs before the buffs fall off. The way you see most people play though, this server move won't make a difference at all, unless everyone is suddenly an armchair raider.
