Please give South America their own servers
It's a consistent issue living in Central Florida. I constantly am being paired with Mexico, Columbia, Peru, Argentina, and Brazilian players. Please, I beg you, just give them their own servers. I cannot handle the latency anymore. It's making the game so unpleasant to play. These screen shots are all within the past two months. I have many many more too. Just please BHVR, listen to my plea, just give them their own servers, or allow players to set a restriction on which latency is acceptable to play on.

How am I always paired with them on a server nobody can connect to properly? It's consistently been matches with 100+ ping players, including myself. Please just add a miami server.

We cant check ping in lobby, sometimes we are paired with you guys because the game want to, I miss the times when we could see our ping in lobby so we could dodge if was the wrong server

No like, another server close to his place, so he wouldn't queue with the SA (i guess)

What hours of the day are you playing it?
If it's the middle of the day (or very late at night), a lot of people are going to be at work/school in your region and you're going to have a tough time finding enough people close to you consistently.
I have the same issue here in Australia. I get matched with players from Pacific Asia all the time depending on what time of day I'm playing at.
Trying to play the game after like 9pm is no bueno.

usually 9am possibly 7am
even in the evening during an event it’ll still be 90ms
when I first started playing circa 2019. It was never this awful. Now every swing at any window is a guaranteed hit. It’s comical when a killer swings at a window and doesn’t get it because I know they swing knowing they’ll get the latency advantage for the hit.It’s becoming so bad I’m thinking of dropping dbd completely. The servers have gotten so awful, the players I’m paired with have x2 or even x3 the ping I do it’s such a disadvantage. In a game that’s based off of split second decisions, with perks that only benefit you 9% / 6% / 3% it’s almost nearly impossible to get any value. It’s exhausting just getting ping diffed even though I made the correct decision.

That wouldnt matter.. South America shares the same time zones as North America, minus some parts being 1 hour ahead of EST. Being from the New York area, I get paired with people from South America all the time and killers usually have 100-200 MS ping.

Not my point, I wasn't referring to time zone discrepancies.
I meant that depending on the time of day you are playing at, there may or may not be less players active in your local area which means your matchmaking would necessitate expanding outwards to find lobbies with players from further away, even if those players share the same time zone.
Like I said, I get lobbies with a bunch of Pacific Asian players, many of whom share the same time zone as I do.
