default server it picks for you, from aus and getting 20-50ping no problem

aus isnt real i know you are lizard man

I'm playing on US Central, with the latency of 70-90, 40 seconds of queue time, I'm from ASIA too.

It kinda weird, im using US West and got 50-70 latency but its kinda feels like 150-200 latency.
Is it just me or anybody feels the same way?
Queue time usually not more than 15-20s and joining time under 10s.

50 - 70 latency doesn't sound right. Latency from SEA to US West is usually about ~220ms. I doubt the number the game displays is accurate, this is the 2nd game I've know to do that. The delays I experience are definitely not under 100ms for certain interactions with a hard sync.

My guess is that it's connecting to a node that has a dedicated route to the server, but your ping is returned by the node so the latency displayed is only a portion of the trip.

There's been posts on the official Discord confirming the in-game latency meter is wrong. US West is best from SEA (or at least Australia) but the latency will still be up in the 150-200 mark. at least.

Ah i see, thats why...
I will patiently wait for SEA server then.

For people residing at singapore or west of singapore, or a little south like Jakarta, closest server is EU with undersea cabling moving alongside Singapore to India then to the Suez canal to EU.

For people residing at Japan, Aus, NZ, Philippine, the closest is US West.

Thailand, Vietnam pretty much get same ping either end.

In any case, you wouldn't want to play at more than 100 ping for FPS, unless you a masochist

The ingame ping is fake. All veteran gamers knows that it is above 100 ping if connecting from SEA.

Thanks for the info, but I do play with my NA homies at 180 ping in overwatch2, and I play hitscan heroes, I play in plat elo. They also play at the same ping range when overwatch chose a SEA server instead of NA server when we are in a party, they can pop off as a Widow at that ping.

What I am trying to say is, if I can get good stats on a competitive FPS then I can get good fun with co-op shooter even at high ping.

It is not the high ping that will be a problem, it is the server tick rate and packet loss.

US West Is closer to Asia geographically, for the countries near the pacific ocean at least.

When I play other games US West gives me the lowest ping. I'm in the Philippines

Us east, but sometimes us west when east is dead but u can feel the lag more on west
