We are looking into this currently, we want to be 100% sure before confirming anything.
I think, that dedicated servers were working in Online Seasons. Yesterday all games was smooth and connection straight line (15-30ms).. But am I wrong?
If you are playing on a server it says "connection to game server" (instead of "connection to opponent" iirc) on the match up screen (where the green/yellow/red bars are shown).

Yes, today that was "connection to game server" and I won 10-0. Game was smooth as butter:)
Yeah, loving it. Three straight wins in competitive season qualifying. Ping steady 30ms (Finland) and was a joy to play. Every other game with p2p have previously been filled with frustrations.
Played 3 games tonight went 2-0-1 and my ping was a constant 25 in 2 games and 20 in the other, I don’t think I have ever played 3 lag free games in a row before.
Dedicated Servers is bad. Very slow motions, I can’t play in it. Very bad.
I’m from Khabarovsk (Russia - Far East region).
Wow... your situation is not too good, man.
Don't know where the Europe server is (UK maybe), but anyway we are talking about 7500 km minimum (air distance).
Actually you are closer (air distance) to NA West server (Vancouver?) and it's "only" ~6800km but I wonder if you are connected there.
EA should add more servers, no doubt about it. At least one for US "central" and one for Europe/Asia "east", and that is really the minimum. Maybe now, when their cash cow is now at DS's, we can really get things moving. Let's hope so...

I agree with you. EA must add more servers for other regions!
I donated in HUT regular, but I don’t donate any more. Because I can’t play now (very slow motions, bad servers).
EA, please, add more servers for other regions (Far East/Asia). If you can’t do it, I don’t donate in HUT any more!
I played a game at 30 ping for the first time in ages and it felt much more like RPM and so much less like TPS. Tuner still stinks, imo, but the skating felt a lot better.

Now I am curious if this will change the ice tilt theories. Without a P2P setting, I have a feeling we will hear less talk of it for HUT. With dedicated servers, the host no longer has ways to bog you down and get the better connection.

Yeah, the hitting is still bad and all the tuner things are still bad like we've been complaining about, but I do notice the changes in the skating aren't as dramatic as they seem when it's at a slower ping.
I write about slow motions and slow joystick commands.
I not alone with this problem. Many people from Russia (from Ural, Sibirea and Far East) can’t play now.

Please, add more servers for other regions (Asia/Far East). Please.
P.S. I donated a lot of money! If you (EA) erase my comment - I will submit legal action to EA in Russian and EU Court! I have a lot of money for great jurists.
I very dissappointed. From Khabarovsk (Russia) whithout love.

I guess I don't know if a mod erased a post of yours or not. I would assume they would only do it if it violated their rules but I still see multiple comments of yours in this thread and I agree with you that more servers will definitely help more players. On the gameplay side we have been asking for it to improve EASHL gameplay experiences since they were already on servers and we brought it up again once it was proposed for HUT to move to server based games.
I can't make any guarantees other than that there are discussions happening around it and that people are listening.

And some say HUT isn't EA's baby.
