What is up with the european servers?

GGG will surely comment on this soon, so don't worry—they'll take care of it. /s

I think they did post on this, apparently there is a DDOS going on, and they are failing to mitigate it...

The ddos excuse is being used for several years.
They could just as well blame gravity or air on the shitty server status, while the reality is much much simpler, aka GREED.

Why pay huge amount of money for server capacity for the leageue start, when 1/3 of the players leave already in 7 days (even more in with bad leagues)

No bro, its all from our heads. We are all foiled-hat people, not racional people that can put 1 + 1 together. We should accept, not talk back, and if we dont like we must leave and stop playing, not complain.

Seriously, gamers used to have some self-respect. Now they accept all and even say more please.

Ryzen 9 5900X, 64gb Ram, RTX4080 and a ping of around 20ms - literally unplayable, already lost items while in hideout because the game crashed. Come on guys, please don't make me regret supporting this game.

BTW speaking of geforce now,is there any possible way to price check using that

It's getting worse every day.

today same as yesterday same hour during two hours, get peak over 140 ms while doing super juiced breach, may god protect us

It does feel like it's getting worse. I usually play in London where it'll be fine mostly then sudden constant rubberbanding back to the middle of a breach like 20 times dying to something you would easily avoid. Stuck at 99 and about to give up tbh might call it for the league at this point.

A bunch of my guildies are also affected and they'll be in other servers at the same time having issues too so we'll hop around to other servers like earlier went to paris for 2 maps and on the 3rd map again horrendous lags for no reason.

It's just unplayable when it happens and I don't know if they are acknowledging or doing anything about it.

It's same on Milan and Frankfurt servers, me and my friends can't finish a map without huge lag spikes.
Breach is unplayable, we have to stop playing it.

Fix your servers, or just pay for more, Europe has a lot of players, why don't you acknowledge that and finally give us better servers.

It's not the EU servers alone.


US is absolutely unplayable right now because the ping will go from bad to ABYSMAL.

I'm in a major metro area with very, very fast connections pretty much everywhere (even to Australia on the opposite side of the GLOBE) of generally 200ms at the absolute worst.

But half the time POE is like 300+ and tonight it's been spiking over 15000 (yes, that is FIFTEEN SECONDS of lag) until I just loose connection.


GGG needs to do something about the sheer number of AI bots clogging their servers with so much traffic it's the equivalent of a 24 hour long DDoS attack.
