Really sick of the EU latency problems

[kidxdynamite]

Why on earth is SE's EU datacenter not actually located in EU?

Every night from 7-11pm myself and many others have massive instance lag where the game can freeze for 30 seconds+ For example titan phase 1, i froze for 2 landslide / stomp rotations (was in a good spot luckily).

It's not my isp/pc and i get massive latency timeouts when doing a pingtest or traceroute.. Can't even raid with my FC because of it..

SE ffs spend a few bucks and make an EU datacenter.. Any other MMO i play i never have this problem (they have EU dc)

I'm EU and I've never had this problem.

WoW if you have no problem im sure everything is fine then!

It's certainly something to think about. None of my EU friends have had huge latency issues either.

And I have plenty of friends that have them. What does it mean? Just that you have lucky friends and I have unlucky ones.

If you are with BT on an old contract, they do something weird with P2P, I had 2 friends with this exact same issue, same times too and they both upgraded to new contract and issue was fixed instantly, basically they manage p2p on old contracts and limit things but on new ones they are not allowed, not too sure how other isp's work in regards to P2P

Where is that ostrich with its head in the sand.gif when you need it ?

"It doesn't effect me so you are making things up" L2P ...

There is clear server latency, SE themselves have said their servers update your position every 300ms, that is a massive chunk of latency right there which doesn't even take into account the connection latency.

EU servers will only help slightly, only SE can fix this with better server optimisation and better net code. (good luck hoping for that though)

Also on top of this we are getting masive lag spikes during peek times making many of the twitch fights like Titan near impossible.

Fix your servers SE !, and give us real EU servers also !

The message he's trying to send is you're not having problems because you're in Europe, you're having problems for some other reason. It's not a simple matter of ping. a ~100-120ms ping, which I hear a lot of from EU players, is more than good enough for a smooth MMORPG experience. ping is not the issue. Any latency issue you're having is not specific to EU players, because there are EU players that are not having latency issues.

You serious ?
Main class: Gladiator 25 ?
Have you ever been to... well... Coerthas ???


I am from France and the latency is horrible during week-end. It's not near playable.
3-4sec freezes every 6-7sec, sometimes even 20sec+ freezes and freeze to Disconnection.

Yes, because this is totally my main account.

Either way, still no problem in any of the hard mode primals. I get the same slight delay as all of my NA friends get. Stop trying to feel all forlorn because you're from EU.
