    Asian Server

    There were promises of an Asian (and Oceanic server) pre-launch. Are we still getting these? Currently the ping for Asian players is 200-300+, and it messes with the gameplay noticeably.

    Apparently there is an Asian server. If you select in the options to show more info about your connection status it will show that you are connected to a server in Asia. No idea where though and my ping is mostly trash playing from China.

    I can't see any option to do that. And with a 200-300 ping, there is absolutely no way the server is anywhere in Asia. It might say that, but it will just be what it says. The actual physical location of the server I can almost guarantee is in the US. If it was Europe the ping would be ~150. If it was *actually* in Asia it would be sub-100, and probably sub-50.

    Path of Exile has a Singapore server, and I have a 7ms ping in that game. The Australian server gives ~50ms.

    I definitely think there is an Asian server as I am currently over that way and all I get in my groups are Chinese players. Oddly enough every single group I get in someone leaves their mic open and I get to hear a lot of singing. Sometimes via the radio and sometimes via the player singing along with the radio.

    Just because all the Asian players are routed to the same server does not mean that server is in Asia. It's definitely not. Pings don't lie.

    Settings > Gameplay > Show Connectivity Info

    Then for me it shows I am connected to a server in Asia, and then give me a ping indication, usually mostly red. Sometimes I get a yellow, and one time I had a blue status.

    Yes I fully agree, the ping playing from Asia is absolute crap. I also opened a thread asking for help how to find out where the servers actually are, but no success so far.

    i also would like to share my sentiment , the indicator shows asia but when i traced the server ip address it says louiseville USA , which explains the lag and connectivity issue , i hope you can provide Asia located servers to fend for asian players as promised.
