@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.
I assume due to our location that the server is probably in the Seattle area but I'm not 100% sure where it actually is.
Wherever the server is located we all average high 20s to low 40s ping-wise, mine stays pretty steady 30-34 ping.
But we have tried playing on East Coast servers and as a group our pings jumped to the 120s-140s so it's not like it's just one of us with a bad connection it happens to all of us and while we are geographically in roughly the same area (PNW as I said) we all live in different towns..

I know from many tracrt's that all my Southern California packets go through LA first then out from there. Many of my packet loss's come from the congested servers there "LA". I cannot say where the backbone is located in northern California though.
