EU servers are ruined by high ping killers
EU servers are ruined by high ping killers from outside of EU… Majority of killers I get each game are 60, 80, 100+ ping and it just feels unfair? Anything over 60 always gets a free hit through a pallet or window. Why do killers with high ping always get priority on hits when I have 20-30 ping? Should pallet stuns not stop the killer from injuring me? Someones bad ping should not be my problem.

I get 15 ping and regularly go up against killers with 120 ping in EU. It sucks.

I wouldn't complain about someone having 50-60 ping. Not everyone lives near uk servers or german servers.
I also have south african friends i play with sometimes and they sadly have to play on EU servers since they don't have their own servers. I think that is the case with many south africans.
I think the problematic pings are all above 80+ thats when you start seeing the weird hits happen.

Some nights it's really bad where the majority of the killers you get are above 100 ping.

This has been a problem since forever.

BHVR had the opportunity to finally contain Russian/Ukrainian killers and their 60+ pings by opening the Stockholm or Prague server but instead went with London for some reason.

Yeah I don't understand the reason for that, given its close proximity to Dublin but I'm sure there's a good reason.

Not just EU servers lol. I think it's unforgivable that the game allows pings above 180-200. And it's even worse that the game forces you to play against killers with 300-500-800 ping. Why would you play a match against a killer like that? It makes no sense. If the game detects that a player has more than 200 ping (whether killer or survivor), the match should be automatically canceled.
*To clarify, I don't live near a server, BUT I do live in the area where there are servers, which means my ping is between 100-120, and I play against people whose ping is 80-100. Unfortunately, we play against people from China (they don't have servers there, and theoretically, they shouldn't be playing DBD either because I understand violent games are banned), but they're using VPNs and have pings of 200-300, even up to 800... it doesn't make sense.

This is not correct, they do have their servers now (in Hong Kong). So it's not like they don't have a choice, but they use vpn on purpose to take the bad ping advantage. To me, this is another way of cheating.

Higher ping people should be able to play, but the hit registration should not favor their connection, meaning players with lower ping should not be punished with bad hits.

to clear this. no player is favored over the other on hit registration. it's a server thing. happened in server, happens for both players. good or bad.
now… I think 60-80 ping is a perfectly fine range to have. not amazing but very playable.
Also why I was always in favour of seeing ping in lobby. So you can get out before the game starts if someone has a bad connection.

High ping killers basically can become immune to pallet saves, flash saves, pallet stuns, getting blinded on pallets and depending on killer some of their powers become almost impossible to counter reliably. Also normal loops can become unwinnable with laggy movement. That is a lot of aspects removed from the game and make you play the game in a completely different way, which isn't fun.

100+ ping Wesker brings another layer of "fun" - an RNG.
Why it's always Wesker though or is it just me?1 -
@DEVS STOP IGNORING THIS COMPLAINT

The only complaint they won't ignore are skins.

that's not true, so many legendaries have like a huge list of bugs as do normal cosmetics, and they keep piling more broken ones to the list.

Unbelievable how this has been ignored for a long time. EU servers are infested with high ping killers. Add a ping visibility in lobby or ban anyone with above 100ms or put a ping limit in this game. I returned after a week to play and the first two games in EU server are against killers with 130ms ping or higher.

I don't understand at all why killers would willingly use a VPN to play with bad ping.
I've done this twice now to go from my region of NA to EU but I did it solely for the purpose of seeing for myself just how good EU survivors are compared to NA since everyone loves to gloat how amazing and better they are.
That being said, I play the Wraith, and playing him with 100+ Ping is like playing him powerless, its endlessly frustrating, I can win a lot of games this way but so what.
I never have fun playing with ping that high and the "advantage" of a free hit is never worth it. When I get hit with that ping, yea so once per game I get a free hit, but what survivors don't see is the other 9 out of 10 times I swing at someone through a pallet cause that's my bread and butter strategy and the game fake hits them where I see and hear the hit animation but they don't get injured.
For me, at least as Wraith, I feel SO MUCH more punished using high ping than the survivors are being, and even if I wasn't its so boring and frustrating I would never willingly do it.0 -
Still waiting on Baermar's anniversary outfit to be Baermar's. 😵

As Long bhvr stay with there Killer favor Hit detection. We always will suffering from Bad Hits..Ping Hits. Etc.
2 -
there's no limit, sadly. I uses to game on 1100 ping, with my record being 11,000. I'm surprised I got into any matches

The most ignored issue are cheaters, reason uknown.

Because Dead by Daylight is the only game where having a high ping is an advantage :D

Reason why there is high ping killers on european servers is the war in ukraine. It has caused several operators to prevent direct connections to european servers from Russia so most russians have to use VPN to go around the restrictions causing them to gain ping because their connection still needs go through way more servers than it would if it would not have those restrictions.
Also blaming streamers of promoting VPN usage is not for any other reason than the fact that hackers can track anyone by their ip in this game. So cheaters use that to join streamers lobbies if you use VPN they can't do that. So in short the streamers use VPN to protect themselves from the cheaters who just want to ruin their matches.
