Was there an improvemnt in ping for you since CBT2?
What's your ping at the moment?
Was server optimization discussed during the Premiere event?
For those who don't know how to check for ping: Under graphics, tick the "Display FPS" box. Your ping will be displayed in brackets next to your FPS.
Poll is intended for players who play on the server closest to them.

Edit: BTW, does anyone knows where are the EU servers? That's actually quite a lot.
They're located somewhere in Germany.
I get less than half the ping I get in MS2 in games like Fortnite, that host servers in Germany as well.
Usually my lowest in places like GER/FRA is about 24, but here its about 15 as if its in ENG
It was confirmed by a GM, yes.
if you wanna check it for yourself, go on your windows menu and type CMD, then type ping 188.166.70.113 only works for EU
That IP is located in Amsterdam, NL.
Doesn't add up with what we've been told by the GMs about the servers being in Germany.
Latency issues reached high amount of ping, to the point that the game felt unresponsive and unplayable. MS2 has been the only product that I experienced giant lag spikes, it's actually the first time in my long gaming history to see such big numbers on my side of internet cable. I wouldn't exclude a possibility of DDoS attacks if more people reported similar behavior. Game optimisation and network infrastructure with routing path leave a lot to be desired, I suppose.
Ping fluctuations in the last week before maintenance: 830ms, 1340ms, 4395ms, 4916ms, 8800ms, 25946ms, 61940ms.
I shouldn't have such issues if I live in Poland and EU servers are located in Germany.
Kind regards!
My ping is never in the good side, but having connection issues too I can't really tell how bad it is... I know that the best I had as ping was 120 (so good connection in that moment)
