Not sure what they did with the servers during this update but my connection has gotten noticeably and officially worse based on their own metric.
I live on the east coast so previously when the servers were in Montreal my connection was "Excellent" as specified by the game itself. When the servers were moved completely across the country to California my connection became "Good". Now after this 5.3 update and presumably whatever server maintenance they've done my connection is now "Poor".
The game is playable but player pop-in and loading of NPCs is worse and there is some delay in actual battle in terms of AoE reaction time. I have to wait several seconds for the NPCs to load in Eulmore for example and that was never the case previously.
Running speedtests shows my connection seems to be working as normal in that regard, and this isn't like random lag spikes interfering with play as it is now just a constant "poor" connection as the game itself says. It just doesn't feel right anymore. I don't really know what else I could even try besides resetting the router but given how the game is detecting it and my speedtest results I don't know how that could change on my end.
So I'm curious to know if anyone else has seen a change in their connection quality since the update?
