I just want to let you guys know GW2 ping in New England is very high most of the time.
This doesn’t get brought up much but USA has a terrible internet infrastructure compared to EU or Asia.
Most single server location MMO’s use Austin TX and for those of us who live north of NY this is a problem.
I love your game, esp the pvp & wvw but if you want to keep me playing and keep your game enjoyable to those of us far from TX consider adapting a multicoast strategy like many other games have done.
Sadly this problem effects GW2 even more than other Austin based MMO’s
perhaps because its such a popular game I’m not sure, but this evening my ping is 290 and all my skills have a 2-3 second lag. I know this is not how Anet intended this amazing game to be played.
I know its a stretch, but you would make many happy gamers with a muti server location strategy
For instance my ping to GW2 @the moment is 290
My ping to WOW (NY server.) is 45
if you guys really want GW2 to be “The” competitive pvp game this is a problem.
If anyone actually reads this and considers my thoughts then thank you.
