Hi I just wanted to add that playing Ranked or duos is almost impossible in Australian Servers due to long queue times during most of the day. I always queue on Oregan Servers to play ranked or duos . It lets me get into a match always instantly.

I think if Australians were region locked from NA servers , it would really ruin alot of Australians experience in trying to grind ranked. In Japan servers they don't speak english so it's hard win matches with no shared language of communication. The ping on Japan servers also for some reason can spike to 300 ping sometimes, so NA servers are more reliable for Australians.

If Australia is Reigon locked , I feel like the game will be so much more empty for alot of Australians as we can't grind ranked as much or play duos. I've made many American friends and had many memorable intense comms ranked matches while playing in America servers from Australia. If I don't have access to NA servers , I really don't think I could en...

can you please just make it a ping limitation, like i believe 300 is when it goes to shit right? i play on APAC and i have found a grand total of 4 ranked grinders that speak english after 3 years of playing this game my current ranked squad are both from NA and they’re the only active grinders i know, the rest of my friends are on EU servers and a region lock is genuinely gonna make me have no reason to play this game

I usually use West data centers and so do most people I know. Our pings range between 150-170.

We get low pings to certain Asian data centers, but usually their servers are dead (on console) and can take half an hour to find a game, which isn’t ideal.

OCE servers, on the other hand, give us terrible ping even though they’re physically closer than US West servers. No idea why this is the case, but it has been for over a decade in multiple games.

Edit: I had to reread your question. The best servers for us are US West serves, both in terms of ping and population.

Guess it’s time to uninstall apex too. Every game that has chosen to region lock servers literally makes it impossible for people in my area (middle of the Pacific Ocean/ Guam) to play them. No games will be found. Online games are slowly becoming extinct for us.

"We also recently tested a soft region lock for Masters and Predators". This screws me a lot, since I'm a SA master. Queues are long and also includes platinum players. I have to use VPN to play in NA and adds an extra 20 ping (150 normal, 170 with vpn and sometimes with packet loss). Did the region lock was disabled for this split?

HongKong/TW Servers are filled to the brim with cheaters. and the fact that we aren’t japanese enough to be able to contact anyone or report due to language barrier and accessibility

I pulled through D2-Master last split by switching to NA servers and playing with NA lfgs, 2000x less cheaters. Any suggestions on how to solve HK/TW servers?

No point of sticking you on a server with no chance of getting a game.

Except to protect other people trying to play in their own region from your netcode's tendency to teleport players around.. maybe that's not caused by the same people but it's probably what a lot of people are thinking of here

Can you region lock the Canadians, so they stay in Canada?

All they do is brag about free healthcare and Justin Bieber.
