Dear GGG, please consider changing the EU Server providers

I know you are constantly dealing with DDOS attacks, but the EU servers have consistently been bad in both poe2 and poe1 for a while now, with insane latency spikes and even disconnects or rollbacks.

Please at least consider completely changing the server providers for the EU region because whatever they have been doing is just not working. And it's happening every single league start, I really don't think they can handle the 1.0 launch.

Its their netcode, They need to fix their network infrastructure, netcode, The way the game handles transferring info to these servers

It is a deeper issue then just switching server providers

All servers have this issue, I never experienced these issues untill 0.4 and man is it incredibly frustrating and 1 of the reasons I've stopped this season, Just 0 fun to be had only frustrations

I thought it was the game itself, how they've programmed, The amount of info the game needs to send to the servers just keeps getting larger and larger with more content, Its the netcode itself, how the game handles information and data, There is a much deeper issue, And is probably gonna remain for awhile as this game has so many severe issues that lead to negative experiences, 10k concurrent players spiking to 15k atmost on weekends

Look at any other MMO, Retains alot of players each month, POE2 can retain high numbers for a week at most, sometimes 2, Theres a reason they aren't returning and won't untill 1.0

Its a shame, glad one of the OG's stepped down and left as to not be associated with this trainwreck, They are way too ambitious, Delivered EA too early as their investors needed to see a ROI, Aka Tencent, And if that ROI doesn't pan out, Hopefully MTX alone will fund this game development, I've spent my fair share as I was initially enjoying the game, racked up 2k hours and I didn't even know, then the cracks started showing, Grew more and more frustrated, Nerfing/Removing items from later seasons for no apparent reason(like homogenizing orbs, the deepest tower, infact towers in general buffing maps + delirium instilling and passing it of as NO NO ITS AN IMPROVEMENT AND MAKES MAPS BETTER, It doesn't, we got a huge nerf to mapping disguised as a "good thing"

It truly is a shame... Regret the money I spent, and ain't spending more till this game changes for the better, Listens to the majority saying the same things, not the 1-2% no lifing cry babies who reject every opinion and thought on the forum because it doesn;t align with theirs...

Update: EU Servers are on fire once again.

Not really. I don't have any problems on any EU server.

Do you even know what you're talking about, or are you just throwing around words you think fit? Because it sure as hell sound like the latter.

I tested the game via latency booster program for 1 month and there was like only 1-2 day i suffered latency spikes. It is definetely GGG side of problem because most players have no issues playing other online games.



We still have corona of 19,00-21,00 time spikes even the servers are empty. Prolly an auto ddos attack but GGG server protections can't resolve that it seems.



Let's hope they fix it.

never an issue
0 laggs, 0 disconnects

EUW

Milan > Frankfurt from my experience. Even tho it has 15 higher ms on the tooltip.

Update: EU servers are on fire once again

You probably have already tried it, but try testing all the EU servers. In my case for example, Frankfurt was a trainwreck, Milan is much more stable. There are moments the latency turns into an ECG though.

I have spend hours reading about the issue, and everyone is putting the blame to anything, from game's code, to ISPs, to backbone providers and routing, to user error and frankly, I feel nobody has no idea what they are talking about or are just shooting in the dark.

I find it pretty lame GGG refuses to make even a typical corp statement, yeah we are aware there is an issue and we are working on it etc, so at least people know it's not on their side and stop wasting time troubleshooting it.

This is not a sightseeing game, hell there is even a hardcore mode. You can't enjoy, or sell, that sort of stuff with unstable latency.
