How are we gonna do this?
I still play in the EU, am playing this game since launch and have just come back after Rotgs and have noticed the servers are merged and my ping is crazy high.
The game is now an US only game. Not basicly, it is an US game. The servers are in the US.
I can not play PvP here with a ping of 100-200ms. If the most basic thing is not met in a competitive game, which is a proper low ping, then one just quits. I am not masochistic.
That is the same like shooting a canon and calculating in gravity (regular ms) while having also calculating in wind (+ms) that pushes the projectile far off the track. While this would be no issue if all the opposite players also would have wind, but apparently they only have regular gravity.
I play this game for PvP reasons and my intuitive reaction now is: Quit the game. Can this be it?
Such a sad thing isn't? Because apart from all those other MMOs I have played over the years, AoC made me come back due to it's original combat system, fitting artdesign and animation quality. And now I have to say goodbye because of this reason that my ping is so high and I can not continue what I once loved to do in this game: Play competitive PvP.
How are we gonna do this? Keep it like this? See all EU players completely saying 'byebye'? There are not much players from here left on the servers and that is a sad sad thing.
Any solution to fix the ping or was that it?
