Hi everyone, the multiplayer experience is fantastic, however, myself and many other gamers in South Africa are struggling to fully enjoy the experience as the closest server we can host realms on are in Europe.
We all get 180 - 210ms ping to these servers, with frequent packet loss and “attempting to reconnect” popups. The combat seems to be client side, but occasionally our movement will be taken away from us and interacting with things comes with a big delay. I currently play in a realm with 3 other friends and we all face these issues, and it’s especially bad when you get the “attempting to reconnect” popup and your character just walks off the edge in the crucible. We are all on high speed fibre connections.
I’d love if we could get servers in South Africa as we have quite a large player base in general, and probably the largest in our continent. That or the ability to host a realm locally if the server cost is too great.
