Server lags (EU)

Every time at noon cest 6-10pm, it becomes unplayable. Just now ping spikes from 20 to 20k+ again no matter the gateway, even VPN does not fix it.

These servers are trash and it is unplayable.

It's from germany so there is likely provider routing to blame but some option to roll another instance server or whatever is used would be good. The game became unplayable to me because every evening I risk playing with 10000ms and losing a map, if this happens a few times in a row (days) I got used to playing other games and do not return until next season.

Some solution to this is needed, such as an offline mode.

Like seriously. Borderline unplayable every day. Add 1 portal per map bullshit and add getting stuck in texture or pos mechanics like ground degens, on death effects, temporal chains, chilled ground and other C-R-A-P

sorry, had to vent

Works good on stokholm realm here, but i noticed sometimes in ho you have 10 ms and as soon as you enter map it goes to 5k ms. Go back to ho its 10 ms again. It begs to say that maybe poe opens instances on different realms, maybe if 1 is crowded it tries to open map in another server. Dunno for sure. Also you can try to flush your dns it used to help me on some other games. google how to ip congfig renew, release and flush dns in cmd
