Bad latency to Australia server when playing from New Zealand during peak times

I'm also from NZ having these spikes, seems i'm never put on the Auckland servers other than when I first login. The AU servers rubber band me around, I seem to have more luck play on US servers.

almost 2am and its still unplayable when hitting certain aus servers, slows down to a crawl of stutters :/

workaround to get at least some stable ping is to use exitlag or any other good vpn and select singapore.. 110ms but very stable
should work well for ppl in western australia

not sure about nz :(

cheers, gl to us all

Aus servers are still beyond broken, tried vpn to NZ and select Auckland server with no success

Can we please get more resource servers in Australia to fix the issue?

Thank you

bump, some aus servers are already starting to lag and stutter

Australian with the exact same issue here. It seems to get worse when lots of lightning is on the screen when I'm fighting enemies with my spark sorc. Also had even worse issues in Ziggurat Refuge to the point of not being able to pick items up in stash or inventory. Hideout thankfully seems to be fine.

It is just an AU server issue. My friend in Australia and me in NZ experienced the same issue at the same time. It could very possibly be a server load issue, bug, or leaked memory.

But what I don't get is that why not put me to an NZ server with better latency and better server load. It is like rolling a dice every time when you start a new map: NZ server, you are good. AU server, bad luck.

Bump for AUS latency issues, definitely happening during peak hours. Game becomes unplayable unless you VPN.

From NZ. Same issue here. Particularly bad the last few days. Maybe weekend traffic?

I'm assuming the NZ data center is quite small and if full it puts us on AU but as previously mentioned I would actually be happier to queue for NZ because the AU server is so spikey.

From NZ, suffering from the same issue. :(
