When you select servers, when login in, it shows what your current ping is, to that server.
You need to select the one with the lowest ping (ei. a server close to you, typically).
This game is so different from poe1, that I'm still not sure how I feel about it.... yet.
I wanted to love everything about it, but there minor stuff that wasn't a issue in the first game where you knew everything like the back of your own hand. The good stuff, is the story and finding you way is brand new. Its fresh, when POE1 champagne has long been abit stale.
The WASD key movement is so hard to get right, after years and years of using mouse movement, for one. (muscle memory)
And it feels like your punished if your not using it. That said, I have a monk in act2... and started a mercenary to try and compare the two.
Merc play definately feels alot more smooth.
Monk you have to remember to use a buff, then hit with Z ability, then use Y ability to cull a monster for power charges, then use said power charge to empower a wave clear skill. Ontop of WASD keys and melee combat being abit odd, with animation locking you in place when your attacking (even if you can cancel it).
Meanwhile playing Merc is just like a shooter..... wasd and kite while shooting.
You just load differnt rounds to do differnt stuff. I don't recammend anyone thats starting POE2 to play a melee class.
Do yourself a favor, play something ranged or spell caster based.
I thought maybe the roll stuff would help melee abit.... like POE1 this game favors being ranged.
