I’m located on the west coast. Which region do I play in for the greatest advantage? Europe, Asia, or Australia? The server browser is not displaying pings for me so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ---

I guess go to a region where you get the worst ping. Might give that a go. Might as well. Everyone else seems to be doing it. Might be the only way to get the poor sync working in your favour. ---

The admit to high ping causing issue and they are looking into additional net code fixes and the possibility of ping limits. You have achieved nothing in your post but to prove you have no issue with taking advantage of others that play locally. That is one step away from cheating and your post will get removed. ---

Thanks for the clarification. I don’t frequent these boards much other than to poke around from time to time to get an update on the state of the game. ---
