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

Ninja is simply unplayable at 120-160ms, it so irresponsible I'll need to say goodbye to it.
200ms-220ms being fine, maybe if you are an ex roulette paladin hero, yoshi.
At least the commiefornians are happy.

I have already decided to not renew my subscription, as the ping increase was too big for me consider the service worth paying for. It is definately playable, but I do not want to endorse this kind of behaviour from companies.

At this point, between fan fests and the server moves, I am starting to believe SE doesn't realize that the east coast even exists. To be fair, most of this is a political issue since TWC/Comcast/etc lobbyists have thwarted fiber roll-outs that should have happened a decade ago. NA's infrastucture is a hodgepodge band-aid rat king of old hardware & cables.

I've been playing and raiding at higher than 100 ping for over two years...there were times when it was on the higher end that made it rough during progression (looking at you, Sacraments in A12S) but I've always been able to clear content. There were times after patches when it was worse for a little bit but that's probably due to returning player load on the servers as much as ping.

All of this hysteria is really unwarranted.

^for people who get the short straw as in really bad latency

Cant you guys just pay a char transfer to different server? I remember someone from other thread said the new server location is for half of NA server, while the other half still located in the original location or at least something like that

Or you can try the jp server? Maybe you get better ping

If you really end up in jp server, just remember that we have different custom/tradition/approach when in party and socializing =D

Much of this comes down to people and their friends established.

I see you're taking this harder than most.

^here another player who has been in this game for years with 200-220ms and at best i feel like .5 second delay for any skill i use (interacting object give me 1 second delay for no reason though)

And still doable and i feel no hinderance at all, so yeah people who complain with 100 ping on their side is pretty "wtf" Moment for me

True but, if you really love this game then its the only best option right now. Its pretty sad to leave the people and guild you're familiar with.

meeting new people and community on new server can be pretty good though
