Feedback : OK, in these 5 days .
Most of my games were in the nearest server to me (playing quick play) .
I live in Tunisia (North Africa) , the nearest server to me is France (CDG1) .
so most games playing in France server .
some games in Netherlands server (AMS1) , ping rate between 70 ms and 95 ms .
and I got one game in US WEST (LAX1) ,and that’s too far away , loss, ping rate : over 400 ms .
My ping rate in France is between 53 ms and 59 ms (mostly 54 ms to 56 ms) .
Since the crossplay update, the server is screwed up for me.
I keep getting queue into Asia server (in both qp and ranked), which is frustrating especially playing ranked because my ping is always above 100ms. Before this update, I play on sea server with ping below 40 and never queue into Asia server. Blizzard please fix this!
Hello! Me and my wife are from the far east part of russia. We always have played on EU server, enjoying the community and the ability to talk with your teammates. The latency was okay. But now we always get queued to ICN1. Ping is better. Gameplay isn’t. Unfortunately we don’t speak korean, we can’t communicate with the team at all. And this is the real issue. Without that part of the game overwatch is unplayable. I can’t talk, I can’t understand people talking. It doesn’t even feel real without it. Are those real people or a bunch of bots. Who knows? I don’t use team chat voice chat anymore. But the ping got a little bit faster. hurray, i guess.
Please, bring back the ability to choose the server. It’s not about the connection, It’s about the game experience

I’m in the UK, why am I being sent to GTK1? isnt GTK1 Tokyo?
Hi @WyomingMyst , idk if you’re still looking for reports but out of all the games I’ve played thus far, I’ve unfortunately finally gotten 1 mismatch:
Competitive (Role Queue) - AMS1 (or might’ve been AMS2 tho that’s not on your list :\ )
Game code BDBJ4M just in case if that helps pin down the game. Was playing with like 300~350ms.
meanwhile I normally connect to Australia servers where I get like <50ms usually.
I’m from GRB1: Brasil 2/Rio De Janiero and some random moments matchmaking sends me to ORD1: US Central - Chicago any reason for that? Since in tracert and winmtr show less latency to GRB1 instead of ORD1 (more high latency)?
Our group has played on ORD1 for years. No issues.
Tonight we suddenly queued for competitive into GRB1 against the same group of people 2 games in a row. Group stopped playing after that.
It’s honestly really surprising that someone in leadership at Blizz thinks this sort of inconsistent network activity is an acceptable standard. The matter at hand here is an issue of consent. We don’t have any interest in playing the game as a group if random far-away servers subvert the effort we have put in to organizing a team around improving consistent performance.
Our group was already willing to wait 15 minutes between games before the Crossplay patch. To hear that the current system is working as intended and is unlikely to afford players control over their data center placements, it is really demoralizing.

I found the thread through some random series of clicks. It was really disappointing to see that these experiences were not stickied when I first came to the forum. It feels like someone is trying to bury criticism and negative experiences of the crossplay patch.
they putting console players in pc matches is the worst thing they could had done to overwatch .i am done with blizzard and its games.
because people have friends in other region they want to play with .or they dont speak teh native language in this case middle east players so they prefer to play in other regions .you cant play competitive in middle east unless you know arabic which most people in that region dont know .its not rocket science to understand.
Seriously blizzard… stop randomly send me to different region. I connect to America server for a reason, I don’t want to play on Asia server with high ping. This never happened before! Pls revert the update!

I’m from Asia and mostly playing with my friend in Europe. He usually plays Rein and I would play DPS so we would play on Asia for lower ms for DPS.
Now we just get put into Europe whenever we play together. I can’t play any hitscan with 250ms. It’s an absolute horrible experience. please let us choose again!
I used to play on Americas server connecting me to PSE1 (GSG1 now i think) and i have 50ms ping. Now this dumb update is connecting me in ICN1 which is full of quitting korean players and I am having 150ms ping.
I played since day 1 and Im quitting this game because of this effed global play where we, PC players cannot opt out of this unwanted crossplay and putting people to servers they dont want to play on. Eff your player base.
Hi Wyoming,
What a terrible decision.
Look at now why.
If i wana play with ppl speaking french, most of them are in EU servers.
Before this patch, i just have to switch NA to EU on Battlenet.
Now, i doesn’t matter, BUT:
- EU players expect to play with low ping
- i’m aware that i will have ping
- they’re like 4 french ppl, one british mate, and me, living in Canada.
- we played on “LAX1” server.
To be honest, since this patch, i can’t play with EU ppl anymore cause they don’t want a NA player cause ping.
But you know what? i’m french, living in NA. And we’re a lot in the same context that we can’t now playing correctly with friends just because your system don’t let us the choice of the server.
GGs?
I hope you will report it to tech devs.

Damn thats hilarious af you’d think having an east coast na and 5 eu players would put you in EU servers, or at LEAST east coast na, dont know how they think west coast will be good, they might as well put you lot in australian servers lmao
Honestly it is not even worth complaining anymore, any other game dev would rushed a hotfix by now.
Not crap on players saying oh we know best we intend you drive a car with foot we are genius.
That you can get banned on maplestory for vpn usage is bs thought i have been playing maplestory with a vpn for years not one single time banned.
yeah ikr, never understood why some games wanna punish users for doing it… and it’s to stop Korean and Chinese players using Global as on their servers they have to put their social ID, like I tried to make a Korean account once but I didn’t have a social ID number to create an account there…
It’s a shame that they wanna prevent Chinese & Korean players playing outside their own servers on MapleStory, but due to that… it effects EVERYONE who wants to use a VPN. But it is what it is. I know a Chinese MS player who currently uses a VPN to play Global and he dun care either lol
They don’t ban for vpn usage thought otherwise i would have been banned ages ago.
And the reason chinese and korean players want to play our server is mostly because our server is less pay to win(maybe)
No… they do… it’s been a known fact for years!
