Why didnt they make a east and west server for The US, my ping has over doubled with this move and is really killing the game for me, and it will for TENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of others also. I know I've seen them post I believe it's because we don't have as many as eu but IF that is true it can't be a huge difference. Their reasoning is fine with neutralizing it but they have the power to fix the problem CORRECT, so why not fix the game for everyone?
Your ping has doubled to what? 70? Poor you, having to sacrifice a little ping so everyone else doesn't have to play at 150.
I'm in Cali still chilling with 40 ping. Get better internet?
Its a "dividing friends" issue I believe but cant remember for sure
My ping went from 20-30 to about 80-90 now, so definitely not my internet, but thanks for providing no constructive support to the thread.
Well I am noticing a huge difference, I don't think it's right how they can just take the player base having this new lag problem out of the game. They should come up with a correct solution and make a separate east and west server.
EU combined has a population almost double that of NA. Assuming the game popularity is roughly similar over there compared to here, then they've got roughly double the playerbase in EU than NA. Thus, two sets of servers makes sense to handle all that traffic while still being able to maintain well-populated environments (no major impact to queue times and such).
The only people in NA that really have a right to complain here are those in Hawaii or Alaska (or maybe the far reaches of Canada). Anybody else is going to have a reasonably-playable ping. If your ping ended up higher than what they predicted, go to their connection troubleshooting megathread, take some logs, and submit those. Could be that it's not routing your traffic to the new location efficiently.
what is your ping now?
