Ninjas been stuffed for a while. Ever since the data centre moved personally. Though it was still manageable to an extent.

4.0 killed it entirely though the lag is impossible for many players.. I'm in the UK and my ping to the server is anywhere between 130 and 170. Not terrible but I can't even toss a shurikan without it heavily clipping my gcds. Let alone ration or suit on. And ten chi jin takes a life time. Almost a 3 second lag between fuma and ration and another 3 second between suiton.

There's been quite a few threads and posts about it since 4.0 landed still waiting on a fix though. My ninjas been benched entirely because in its present state it's unplayable.

I've also been on the same server since day 1 of 1.0. Originally saronia. So changing to an eu data centre is simply not an option.
