Hello.
I recently purchased ME:Andromeda primarily for the multiplayer. I have run into some issues that had I known earlier, would have surely thought twice before making the purchase
I live in Bangladesh, and when i try to join a public multiplayer match, I can never find any. None, period. I am put in a solo squad and thats it.
Then I thought maybe i should try a VPN to change my location to USA, and test whether that would give me more matches or not, and surely enough, voila...Finding matches was not a problem any more.
Little did I know that since the hosts now live across the world, and the ping would be through the roof. On most matches the lag is so bad that i see death animation on enemies 1.5-2 seconds after i stop shooting. And do not even get me started on the vanguard 'Charge' power. After every charge it takes me 2 seconds to figure out where I am, and where the enemies are.
Silver and Golds are simply not viable like this, let alone platinum.
Funny this is, i have absolutely zero issue finding matches in ME3, and while some lags are there on occasional matches, it does not amount to even 10% of the trouble i a facing in Andromeda.
I have zero intention of playing the blame game. I just want do play some matches with people,lvl up my characters, experiment with weps and thats it. IF anyone is from the South asia region is interested in multiplayer matches, let me know. I am usually available from 2 pm to 6 pm GMT time, sometimes more. 'And if anyone can give me a solution to my region problem that would be most welcome as well.
P.S. My internet is more than okay. I used to play warframe with literally zero latency.

Second, you will get more of a response in the MEA MP section. Maybe a friendly mod will move this there?
