Higher pings aren't going to be doing much good for the netcode issues people are complaining about.
@AngrySquid270 @Ironhead841 Pings between NA east and west players are more than acceptable between servers, something which was not an issue in previous games and still allows for when partying up in 2042. The alternative is continued population issues, specifically US West bearing the brunt of this as was observed even during launch and holiday season of the game.
I don't find 120-140 ping which is about the average of my group I play with, to be "acceptable" to play on East Coast servers (all of us are located in the PNW US.).
IF they could reduce the latency to under 60-80 then this might be feasible, I personally don't like playing anywhere where my ping is over 40.
I don't know what data center you go through but me on the west coast go through the LA data center, the most congested data center I know of.
