Playing in Australia

I live in the US but from Australia. The last few weeks I've been visiting family back home and this has been the first time visiting that I've had a computer that can run DBD. Of course I was eager to try out the servers down here.

I found that the ping is often terrible here (not just mine). I'm running DBD on a laptop that isn't top of the line and using a connection that isn't the fastest. Curious if this is a common occurrence here for others or it's just my computer and connection. I really hope it's the latter.

Another thing I found is queue times are a lot slower. Nothing too crazy just a general observation.

On a side note, boy, do they seem to know how to play down here. Back in the US it's very common to be with total duds but here nearly every player I was matched with or against really knew their stuff. Killer was stressful! Not sure if the game is just better at matching me with players at my level or they are just all good players here.

    The Australian server is grouped with the SE Asian server, adding 100 to your ping when BHVR feels like shoving AU players to that server.
