Newfoundland / East coast server.

 Game is brutal in Atlantic Canada. I’m in NL and best we can get is 40 ping which is whatever. The problem is every game you play against people in Montreal on less than 5 ping. Why isn’t there a server in Atlantic Canada?

    Hello. Most likely if we had that server, the population on it would be very low. This would result in long wait times to match up. Regardless, I'll relay your feedback to the team. Thanks!

    We don't give out those details, unfortunately.

    I’ll have to do my own research then.  🧐

    Found out where with Google and Chat GPT.

     I do understand but playing 40 ping this far away against people living right next to the server sometimes on under 5 ping makes it simply unplayable. Maybe they can look at adding another east server somewhere that would benefit more people or adding a ping setting to match within 20 ping. I would much rather wait and be able to play the game fairly than against someone with a significant advantage. Thanks.

     Also appreciate the reply. Hopefully something can be figured out. Just pushes people like me away living in Canada wouldn’t think it would be an issue like this but most the playerbase is on the Montreal server so it’s just awful for people further east. Thank you.
