Playing on EU Servers Feels Terrible

this is a fucking joke
poe1 unplayable and poe2 unplayable ... nice work.
I came here to see if this was an issue on my end and I guess it isn't. I had to stop playing last night because every other map I got the server ping go between 40 to 500 periodically followed by disconnects. I even lost on of the quest reward gems to a disconnect since I was putting it on at the time. Doesn't really matter since I can buy it again from Nessa, but still. I came back today and the problem isn't solved indifferent of what server I'm using.

This is sad, I really wanted to play but at present the game is close to unplayable. Actually, no, the game IS unplayable.
Same problem. I'm NordVPN user and VPN has not soluted this problem for me. Only solution was to play on South African POE server with 200ms latency. Better this way as to lose time, XP and items. Tried all Eurpean POE server and three different European VPN region server. All time the same problem.

The problem has occured allways on the same time on my friends character and mine. We are playing both solo and live in different cities of Germany. It was always the same network behaviour.

I also have constant lag spikes, rollbacks, crashes to login and crash to desktop. I've tried different renderer (all of them, DX11, DX12, Vulkan), different servers (London, Milan, Frankfurt, Washington). EU servers are just not working, but frankly US servers aren't that much better. Arguably the worst league start I've ever had.
My most hated game.
My most favorite game.
Such is the duality of man.
Wauw, would you guys chill a bit?

All EU servers is doomm, dev ignore more pls.


GGG can't do anything, when it's dependent on the guys owning the nodes we route through.
We're being routed through the US thanks to that.
Adding to my earlier comment.
Been playing now in Washington with 125ms. Works, most of the time.

Had 3-4 crashess since. Still alot compared to previous leagues but at least, I got somewhere :D

Highest Latency reading before drop: 12k ms ^^

I can't play since 1pm. I'm switching to POE 2. Lol i'm jocking it's dog shit like poe 1 servers.

Well,they usually have a conctract with time solution regulations. In my company if servers going down - i have 30m to figure out why its down and up the server or my company will pay the penalty to customer. And ofc we have same contract with "node"/internet provider . Ive heard that in some company this time is 60m,but NOT THE DAYS.( if its not the earthquake which destroy whole servers)

Second point - its not the reason to keep silence. Like Last Epoch devs when had issue on the start - they give update from 30 to 60m about problems,solutions and whats going on. Per day 1 they patched the game 5 times or more ?!

The third part - well they can,they dont want to. Its not that difficult to rent servers for a week and using Ansible, write "the book" and up to thousends of servers in an 2 hours or less in any part of the world.

They "key" problem if somebody fcked up with authorisation process/code and this part going wrong. Then doesnt matter how much server you up or its slightly help.

But at the night when online going down - servers start working fine and some ppl playing almost without DC.
