I’m a player from the Far East, but the game client defaults to the Europe region. I want to play on European servers, but the system matches me with other Far East players and redirects us to the Japan Asia server (60 ms ping).
I tried switching regions using the console command citadel_region_override 2 (Asia), but matchmaking still takes excessively long. I suspect the system is pairing me with the same Far East players while excluding Asian users. This creates a "no-win situation":
I can’t play with Europeans — the game blocks it due to high ping (110–140 ms).
I can’t play with Asians either — I end up in matches with other Far East players like myself, leading to searches lasting 30+ minutes or failing entirely (ping 60–90 ms).
I’d like to suggest optimizations, as I believe players in the Far East will continue to struggle with matchmaking even after the game’s release and increased popularity:
1. Raise the ping threshold for European servers . For example, in CS 2 or Dota 2, I can comfortably play on European servers with a 110–140 ms ping .
2. Allow matches with Asian players, since in the current system I don't end up with them in Japan (60 ms) or South Korea (90 ms).
