The reason I say it is not my side is because I can be on US West in DC but travel to NYC and suddenly I am US East. So unless a goblin jumped in while I was loading in to NYC ????
In talking to Clan members we have theorized the Shepherding is the issue. Whenever someone you are Shepherding leaves the session before you do you are somehow "locked" into tha sessions regional server. The only way to get out is to get someone in the correct region to do the same thing.
That's a rather interesting idea, thecaveman991. Does this connection error only seem to occur after Shepherding? If so, would you be able to get a video showing this change take place? Also, please let me know if going back to the main menu seems to reset the datacenter you're connected to, or if you need to matchmake with a player who's connected to your preferred datacenter.
Hi Ubiexcellent
Problem started after I started to Shepherd people.
This happened on Friday night. Lag was so bad I gave up.

The screenshot was upon me logging into the game for the first time. I have not Shepherded again since obtaining the commendation and the problem persists. I tried quitting, restarting the game, hard reset of console. everything I could think of but the Asia Server allocation persisted. Next day logged in and voila US West. Nothing changed on my side. Logged in yesterday (Sunday) US East with Red WiFi icon. Quit game,
Logging in now on Monday 20 October @ 10:21 PST Server allocation US West with yellow ICon
The NYC hop occurs every-time irregardless of the data centre in DC. NYC is always US East.
DC the data centre was stable (US West) but on Wednesday & Thursday was allocated US Central - better/closer than US East but still getting bad connection messages. Find better server then placed me in US West.
Having similar problems myself over the last 24-48 hours. can be fine during day and ranging in the 20-40ms latency range. However, our normal raid time (around 19:30 UK time) and my latency spikes to 200ms+. this can also put me on the US East server.. and Im in the UK. Tonight it is showing me connected to Europe, but showing it as red. Even when I 'find a better server' it keeps me on a Europe server with the same high latency. I've rebooted my modem (though don't see this as the problem, this has only occured recently and doesnt happen in any other Xbox game.).
