Server-Side Strangeness

Wasn’t sure where to report this so I’m doing it here.

Here’s the issue:
I get in-game in MP mode.
I start playing.
Other player asks question.
I try to be helpful.
Server decides it’s going to be laggy for that echo.
I now have two choices:

1. re-log and re-do that echo
2. stay, get killed, continue to try and help other player

Basically, every time I re-log, even though I get assigned to US-WEST, I end up in a different chat server. Now, I don’t know if US-WEST consists of a huge number of servers and that Chat is housed locally on that server, OR if game servers and chat servers are separate, OR if you can connect to a US-WEST game server and a US-EAST chat server, but every time I re-log, I am chatting with a different group of people.

Can anyone shed any insight on this? Is there any command to change the chat server without changing the game server? It’s quite hard to build community when you’re constantly hopping in and out of the game due to the lag issues.

Bumping hoping to get an answer.

According to Mox while in-game:
“Chat Servers and Game servers are not connected - we separate them by game mode and language. We will have some changes coming to how players are segmented in these channels though.”
