I'm asking this, to get a feel of what the EU player base is feeling.

    I mean you do have the option. You can still play NA. But they won't adjust NA servers etc. For EU to play.
    Also its a waste of time talking about my.com until we see actual performance of servers in live test.
    We've been through all of this before. At the end of the day if they cannot deliver quality, IS will drop them. My.com are being used for servers and customer support only. Its not hard to find replacements but EU has no good publishers that can handle mmos

    I was saying because steven mentioned a server time window between 3pm est-7pm est that is like 8pm to midnight my time which is perfect

    Sure. I have played many games in US servers rather than EU.
    I am UTC +2 and usually stop playing when EU prime time hits, so it suits me as good.
    I also like that US servers arent that populated when I play, so it helps if game is farming orientated etc.

    EU has annoying non-English speakers, Chinese gold farmers & cheaters, smaller population, no playing with devs, unreliable publisher, and many other downsides, but I don't care.

    Yes connection does play a big part when making these decisions

    I see I feel a community makes the server, so I'm sure there is going to be option for people who play in the same timezones so you can do content with them.

    Nah I would never go over to a NA server. I can see the appeal but ultimately having the better connection and being part of the EU community would take priority for me.

    I can't for the life of me play with shitty ping, unless for the sake of my guild or a large friend group playing there. If everything quality wise is great on EU, I'll likely be spending most if not all of my time there

    Yes ping is a big decider but I feel our connection was good considering we were on west coast when we were playing together I was thinking east coast not west coast

  • SeloSelo Member
    I have considered it becouse of My.com
    But my friends will most likely play on EU, and ping is an issue.
    I also hope they make more language based servers and not just "EU"

    EU almost never had smaller population in mmo's than NA.
    When it comes to gold farmers both EU and NA have same problems.
  • NimzowichNimzowich Member
    I would not play a US server, even with 250/250 there gets to many hops to servers and with todays preassure on the internet the lag would probably ruin the experience on peak hours.
  • NaxxazNaxxaz Member
    Only two downsides to playing on the EU.
    1. 10-20% of people only use their native language instead of English, even in open chats, which is really annoying to deal with.
    2. You can't play with most streamers and DEVs. (Some see this as a blessing)

    It's not worth the lag, even with a good connection of your own, it's not in your hands.

    Heck no. EU 2x bigger in population also none wants to play in laggy less populated NA servers. Most of the
    EU guilds will play in EU.
    Speaking about non English there should be language channels.
    BTW most Europeans know English and at last two more languages.

    I guess I've never looked into how servers/datacenters are normally handled in these situations but with Ashes, unless things have changed, they are using AWS so my.com shouldn't have anything to do with the servers.

    Since when are there Chinese gold farmers and cheaters on EU servers / more compared to NA?
    Smaller population, can you tell me the numbers please?
    What other downsides?
    The amount of non-English speakers is small because in EU most of us know multiple languages.

    Are you even from EU?
