Increased natural lag on EU due to no local servers.

I have been living with this issue for a while, but it is starting to interrupt raids.

A lot of the mechanics in game are time sensitive (for example, all of titan's abilities on HM). With the servers being so far away and prone to lag, players are often experiencing issues that make the fight impossible for them. They are not being throttled, and they are not reacting slowly.

Sometimes his abilities appear and "detonate" at the same time, leaving literally no time to move out, and this is not the only place it appears. Many people are reporting constant "skipping" of players during and out of fights. For a game where the mechanics often rely on your reaction time, having to deal with unplayable server issues is starting to weigh on some.

I am using Fibre with the following DL/UL/Ping on a US server (Washington DC):



And I sometimes experience these issues myself. My ISP is not throttling my connection to the game, so there is really no reason that this should occur.

Are there any plans for you to give the EU more local servers, and reduce this? Or improve the servers to they can handle the load they need to experience with this many players working on the same content at once?
