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.

I experienced that today like 2 hours ago. However that can happen once in a while but EU is constant stuttering and rubberbanding even while ping is constant or good. Obviously also way more spikes but differently, constant up and down, almost repeating like an engine.
I seriously think most people have no idea how bad they really are. I played last 3 seasons more or less forced on Washington D.C. and while obviously there were some spikes and dcs there was not even one case where it felt like it's the same problem. I guess that's also why EU streamers like Palsteron are playing on your servers. But you also have to keep your nerves together because bossing and other stuff with 150+ ping is no fun at all.

I stopped buying supporter packs after already feeling bad doing it the last 2 leagues because of that. Not telling I will buy again when it's fixed. Level of anger and stubborness is just to big to consider it again. I actually don't care anymore and guess they just wait until the contracts expire but I am really not expecting anything anymore in that topic.
