Playing on EU Servers Feels Terrible

It's very disappointing to experience these extreme server issues, on league start it has happened a few times before but usually only in the first few hours, half a day max.

But so far even at the end of day 2 server lag and crashes have been a constant issue from start to finish.

I urge you(GGG) to either get your server side techs to get their stuff in order or find new/more capable people to mend them.

If other games and companies can run their online games 50 times more stable than PoE you really don't have a good excuse imo.

Ofc they knew. They knew exactly what will happen and went on with it.

What people don't understand is it's not that something suddenly broke - it was already broken, they just decided to do nothing about it. And that's why they are silent - they have nothing to say. They can't make up some random bullshit either, cuz people will see through that and things will get worse.


Did they though?
My experience playing PoE1 the last months was perfectly fine, no crashes whatsoever. Now its a dumpster fire.

It sucks for all involved, no company needs advertisement like that nor do the people, setting aside some of their precious free time, need a disappointment like this.

Personally, im just playing something else until this is resolved. The leagues young, it will go on for some months.
FIXEUSERVER NOW !!!!!
+1 unplayable start of the league, disconnects each 10 min (sometimes each 1 min). I'm very surprised, that nothing was done during this time and we got no information about the issue.
FIX YOUR SERVERS

Ofc they knew, this is the same issue that POE 2 had since April release of 0.2, this never really happened to such extend in POE 1 (of there were DCs and lags etc but it wasn't causing such bad rollbacks as well as deleting entire opened instances), and with POE 2 they didn't do ANYTHING about it, only now it came to POE 1 with new release and exact same issues on the exact same servers.

It's not just EU. I'm in Eastern USA and I am getting disconnected before I can even open a map, on both Washington DC server and Canada East server. The game is 100% unplayable at the moment.


I tested on Singapore and Auckland (I am in Europe!!) and the issue occured there too. It's a POE issue, not a regional issue.

All EU servers is doomm, dev ignore more pls.


GGG can't do anything, when it's dependent on the guys owning the nodes we route through.
We're being routed through the US thanks to that.


You have contracts for such stuff. Server goes down - X time (usually 30 minutes/1 Hour or so) - and if not up again, there is a penalty to pay. In a normal company such an outage would have the Incident Managment on it, organizing meets with providers, and everyone else involved to work out a timely solution. Buuut... I am not sure how their troubleshooting group is set up, or if they are just winging it, relying way too much on their providers to have their shit together.

Fair enough, I only played PoE2 for two weeks and deinstalled it - not beacause of crashes though. Just dislike the game.

Then certainly there must be something in the build they took over from PoE2 which brakes stuff. As I said, my experience the last months in PoE 1 was perfectly fine!

Basically what i meant to say is, the disappointment and anger of the players is well founded, no denying that. But I rather spent my time with something positive instead of dwelling on the negative experience we are having here.
So, Im going to stab some people in the desert now for a few days and then see if this is fixed or not :D
