Ahoy,
I've been sailing since day one. However, the matchmaking is painful for me. I'm routinely connected to west coast servers even though my ping is lower on central servers. I live in Northern Colorado.
Could we PLEASE get a rework of the matchmaking? With ping between 80-110 my guns don't shoot half the time.
When I'm on Central I get 50-70 ping. This would also benefit my crew as I play with people who are West and East Coast. A middle ground for ping makes everyone happy.
@sacred-ikon I'm not sure if I can leave links here, but there is a site with all the Microsoft Azure server locations. I'm east coast, and I have a similar issue where my ping is usually around 80-100. Only solution I've found is connecting my VPN to the location nearest the server closest to me, which is somewhere in Virginia. Doing this drops my ping to a more stable 60-70.
I got to the site through a link on a Reddit post named "Sea of Thieves Server Locations confirmed!" from 6 years ago.
Hopefully this helps.
@aionicape This is crazy. There's a server a couple of hours away from me. Why the heck don't I ever connect to it?! This is ridiculous.
Update:
Now I'm getting matched to West Coast servers. My ping is now 110-150 all the time. My guns don't shoot. Players don't take damage.
Rare, every season you break the game more. I took a 2-year break because the ping and hit reg was horrendous 3 years ago. I'm about to write the game off altogether.
Get it together, 6 years in constant live development, "released" and we're still dealing with game-breaking issues.

East coast, not west.
