Severe Network Issues on EU Servers (PS5/Xbox)/Unplayable Game since latest Map Update

The severe lag issues exist since the launch of Early Access in POE2. They are known to be truly problematic on European Servers. Even Jonathan talked about it in one of the official statement vidoes of GGG. He blamed the issues on DDoS Attacks which are very common though and goood or basically all servers have systems installed to protect them against DDos attacks.
He claimed the problem only exists on EU Servers and the issues have been resolved and the time has come for stress testing the servers.

To be fair since launch the network experience was the best POE2 network experience so far. Since the latest Endgame Update though the game is basically unplayable though. Only in the morning the game is playable. Starting at the evening the game is totaly unplayable lasting until the late night hours.

Early Access costs money and is not for free and GGG has a VERY EXPENSIVE and VERY MANDATORY microtransaction shop installed. A very succesfull one too I would assume. Every friend of mine who used to play this game invested a fair amount of money and stoped playing since the latest installement or the leauges before due to the ongoing issues the game still has especially on EU servers. To top it off GG got none other than Tencent backing them. So access to cashflow to get access to decent serers hardly can't possibly be the issue here right?

Or maybe we are simply just too stoopid to set up our consoles and PCs right to enjoy the game. Except in the early morning hours ofcouse the set ups just seems fine.

I know that the infrastructure in Germany is truly bad when it comes down to internet connections but not that bad that no other gaming studio in the world hasn't been able to resolve it for good.

One patch it works great, next it is bricked, there excuses simply do not add up.

Bottom line is, it's a fault on their end, they refuse to admit or fix.
They think we are stupid.
It’s fine GGG does not give a damn.. about server performance neither console players. Great to see PC streamers having shitload of time and 10 years of experience crafting mirror like gear every second.. but in reality the whole season is a struggle.. new stuff helped the game but totally ruined everything…

Killed by lag.. killed by loading screens… killed by wierd bugs that prevented me to move… wasted hours of my time where map was not achievable… wasted hours when random DC kicks out from a juiced map, or expedition, or abyss and so on.. wasted hours on price checking items where PC IS damn click… wasted hours to use the same phone that I used instead of the useless trade system implemented in the most unintuitive way possible in game..


GGG is just ruining this game with lack understanding that performance equally important as content.. now we have content but the season is already not because we are over.. we are just filled of wasting of hour times of uncontrollable circumstances..

GGG it is just pathetic.. and not responding to any performance related issue is even more…

“It runs well 5090.. how much has in your community?.. as last time i checked on steam not that many..”
