Yeah mate - they introduced regions a while ago, which as you would expect significantly reduced the amount of distance based issues for most players … unfortunately, the move was wildly unpopular and it lasted less than a year before they opened the game back up to the global player base, albeit with matchmaking that attempts to go regional first before spreading out.
its not as good though, and if you are at the arse end of Australia like me, then you are so far from the servers that lag makes it pretty much impossible to play against anyone.
keep fighting the good fight, but I fear it is a bit of a wasted effort, because after the debacle of regions the first time, there seems to be no plans to revisit them.
You’re closer to the servers than I am! :P But seriously, the update has caused some issues. Sometimes I see high ping but the game isn’t lagging, and other times both teams show low ping but players are warping all over the place. It seems like the latency shown doesn’t actually reflect the real latency.
