Improvement of the ping of the multiplayer server

[Mochitaro]

I have written to the discord feedback, but there has been no response, so I am reporting it here as well.

I am playing in Japan and for the past 3 days the ping on the Asia NE server for the multiplayer beta has been around 130. I don’t know where this server is located, but the first few days of the beta the ping was around 20 and very comfortable.

Are there any plans to improve this situation?
With a ping of 130, it’s not really possible to play HC mode, as the characters either warp or are unresponsive.

Are you actually connecting to the NE Asia server when you experience that kind of ping though. There have been several posts where a person is neing erroneously connected to a much more distant server giving hogher ping. But when yhe party up with someone on the correct server they get an expectedly low ping.

is there a way to check which server one is currently connected in game?

Between your skill bar and the teleport button, there is a vertical bar with 3 segments.

If you hover over it, it will display your ping and server region.

Does this mean that even though it says Asia NE, it may actually be connected to a different server?

No, the problem was that LE was connecting them to a more distant server, but it did say that they were connected to whatever that server was.

Are we able to choose a server to connect to?

Manual Server Region Selection

Hi When playing in a cross-regional group (e.g. AU + EU + US East), the server region is auto-selected for the party host. This can result in sub-optimal play experience for other people in the group. It is much more noticeable when three regions are involved as 2 players are subjected to longer latency. It would be awesome if the party host could: select a different server region manually based on their own ping; or view server region latencies for each player in the group and manually sel…

I see.
So there are two problems. One is that the person may not be connected to the server to which he/she should be connected, and the other is that the person is connected to the server to which he/she should be connected but the ping is not stable.
