The issue is resolved, and the North American and European PC/Mac megaservers are now available. Thank you for your patience!
We are currently investigating issues some players are having on the megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
We need better servers, it's been long enough. Can't stand this ping anymore!

Hello Bethesda/Zenimax,
For quite some time now you've had players on your servers from all over the world with 250+ ping. I personally live in Australia, my internet is in comparison with NBN so I have top of the line speeds. Why is it your servers still aren't optimized for players out of the US? I'm trying to enjoy the game as much as possible but to be completely honest, it's getting really irritating playing with 250+ ping all the time. I'm literally losing about 20k DPS (Damage Per Second) and dying all the time because Block and certain things don't activate until a second or 2 after I press it. The animation will show, but the actual block will be slightly delayed. Same goes for casting skills + attacking at the same time. It's very hard to play at our best when some things are delayed for us. I asked my guild members and they all agree with me. Anyone outside of the US is having a terrible experience and hopes you are going to do something about it so can fully enjoy the game to it's full potential.
MMoRPG's absolutely MUST have stabilized servers so players world-wide can have a good experience. The only time a player should have bad ping is when they have crap internet.
We're not asking you for separate servers for Australia and other countries because that would separate the players too much and some countries have very few players. We're asking you to stabilize your current servers so all players from all regions may enjoy the game.
My streak is always delayed, especially in pvp zones, block is delayed, dodging out of red circles is delayed... Pretty much everything you need to stay alive is delayed. It's not impossible to play, I mean I can solo Maelstrom Arena and a lot of other things, but for serious gamers like myself, any ping above 50 is a major issue. Do you know how badly that ping hurts us in PvP compared to players with 50 ping? We literally don't stand a chance because their casting time is instant whilst ours is delayed. I have died so many times in PvE too because of latency. I'm an excellent dodge-roller and escape artist. I barely get hit for that matter, but because of the ping issues, red circles get delayed sometimes and pop up late then instantly blow me up.
Just so you know I'm not talking crap, here are the internet speeds I run at, this is actually a low result. I usually get about 135mb/s+ and up.
Please, do something about the ping, we've suffered enough.

GilGalad✭✭✭✭✭The Ping is the time it takes for the server to respond. Distance from Melbourne to LA (server location?) is about 12700km equivalent to 42ms traveling with the speed of light. So with a perfect connection and an instant response from the server you would have a minimum ping of 84ms. Since there is no perfect connection I would not expect pings lower than 150ms...0 -
