Slow servers, low ping, compensation?
EA, maybe you should look deeper into a major UE (not Scandinavian - especially Finns) player's problem - low pings. How can we have an even game when Finns and Swedes have a ping <10ms and ours is ...

Community AdminThat isn't too bad because your connecting to a different continent. You're not getting any packet loss or wide ping variance. Can you try putting in the European IP instead to see if we can get a more accurate result though? There might be packet loss on the European path we can't see in the trace to NA servers.
Type easo.ea.com in the window where you see the server list. This works for most EA titles.
- If you're having trouble connecting to Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, choose your server location from this list and test your connection to it instead of easo.ea.com:
- East Coast: 159.153.92.28
- West Coast: 159.153.68.252
- Europe: 159.153.72.252
Here it is. Let me know what do you think about that @EA_Blueberry

Looks great. Have you tried testing around with static and dynamic IPs, or even tried putting your console in DMZ mode? (Ubisoft has a guide here)
The team is dedicated in ensuring the servers are meeting expectations of the community and we'll make sure feedback about your experiences in game with delays are pass along. You've been very patient with us on troubleshooting this which I'm thankful for, but based off those UO Trace results it will be tough to give you a concrete answer on fixing this for you from your side. It could require extensive network testing in which I recommend reaching out to our Support to take a deeper dive into. DMZ is set already, correctly. Few people contacted me having the same problems - especially playing against Fins, the same nightmare. Take a look at attached file, this is what most of my games look like. 7-6 loss with a team of 80-82 plus 85 barkov and dreisaitl, against my 84-88 with 4 synergies (WC, SP, DK, BL) activated and 88 goalie.
Is it the case of the connection or this infamous handicap the game is punishing us?
I appreciate your help and hope to get somewhere with it, just to enjoy this game...more.
Вы так жеможете уровнять пинг в игре установив время отклика от сервера.
Например сделать минимум 25 мс.(опция)
Т.е. если у одного игрока пинг 5, а у второго 50, тогда разница в скорости обработки будет не в 10 раз, а в 2 раза! Это заметно уровняет шансы игроков и практически не будет заметно ни кому из игроков.
You will be able to level the ping in the game by setting the response time from the server.
For example, make a minimum of 25 MS (optional, mod).
I. e. if one player has a ping of 5, and the second 50, then the difference in processing speed will not be 10 times, but 2 times! This significantly levels the chances of players and almost will not be noticeable to any of the players.
