Things usually run well for me and my brother. We are US West on PS4 with Comcast. Every once in a while there will be unplayable connections but not how it used to be. I spend a lot of time gathering on Beseverona and it runs smooth.
I do hear of others from time to time having issues, especially with the Australian servers. But I say, give it a chance.
It can be hit or miss just depending on Planet for me. I’ve also got a powerhouse of a computer and always play with an Ethernet cord in, but our connection can be spotty.
I’ve really never noticed any difference overall, actually. But then, I don’t have a good connection (the DSL I have is the best available at my house) so I get occasional problems everywhere… but seems about equal, just as frequent on USE planets as anywhere else.
I have issues with EU servers (PS4) always around 6pm to 10pm EST US time. Luckily I have a base on Maryx too (east coast) so I just go there if its to bad, Lately Maluriakrib (sp) has been bad as of late and thats new for me.
I still have problems on Eresho and Finata every evening. I’ve just stopped trying to play boundless from 7pm to 2am; unfortunately this is the main time when I would play boundless. So, I still play, but not nearly as much as I once did. It’s pretty frustrating to only be able to play a game during certain hours of the day. I just don’t bother trying to play the game at all during those 7 hours a day, since having all servers working is pretty essential to portal mechanics.
I know it seems drastic, but couldn’t WS migrate all EU servers to US East? EU player don’t have nearly as many issues on US servers.
I live in Southern Texas and I can count the times I’ve had connection issues since release on one hand. And that was only during the last big hurricane that hit the east coast.
Nonsense! where do you get your knowledge from? I play from Germany and I have at certain times strong connection problems to US servers! for example Building in Legendville or your Legendmall is very exhausting! I also have a 100,000 DSL line - On the line it can not be so! Many of my friends have this problem as well! To say that EU players have less problems is simply a false statement!
Ping doubles for me on US E servers, I rather not want that to be the case for my home planet.
And besides, if they do that will they then also move the AUS servers to US E? Because those are the servers EU players tend to have issues with from time to time.
Normal for me is, on AUS servers, to get a ping around 200-210, but that’s really, really close to being unplayable so the slightest hickup in the connection somewhere makes this unplayable for lots of people as well.
I think that it’s mostly been better for me lately on the EU planets. But I wonder if this is because I now use the Eresho Hub instead of the old Finata Hub.
However the other day on an Australian server, McRib, I had some server issues and I was shorted Oort stones on one of the meteorites.
Haha, I see how you could read it that way. As far as I was aware, EU people don’t have unplayable lag on US east. I wasn’t suggesting it just because I live here lol.
