What is up with the european servers?

I know that this has been spoken about to death but it's getting to the point where I have to pause the game every few seconds as to not die because of the insane stutters that the lags are causing.

Is it so hard to upgrade the server capacity for eu?

Vote with you wallet and all that but this is just frustrating

I've been playing all day and not had any problems on the London gateway.

I don't think this has anything to do with servers capacity. I've been playing through geforce now and never had an issue like this before. There's this weird lag that is almost constant in some maps. The game updates extremely slowly, like it only updates once every second or so, and then sometimes it speeds up to catch up. All the while ms stays under 20.

It's not in every map and gets worse with many mobs around. Not everyone is having these issues, so I don't think it's a server wide issue.
I've been on the "Paris (EU) Realm" server and its been hell over here. Its been years since its been this bad today.
Yes, it's really bad. I play on Frankfurt and the rubberbanding is absolutely insane. And it's definitely the server, not the usual ISP routing issue or whatever. Something fucky going on here.

It was unplayable this evening. This is such a good league if only this could be fixed.
I cannot play dense maps, it just go slowmo.
I've simply stopped playing. Cool league - but it's impossible to play.
GGG will surely comment on this soon, so don't worry—they'll take care of it. /s
It is incredibly bad. Hasn't been this bad in years. I can barely play my build and am constantly running the risk of getting blown up by on-death volatiles. Rubberbanding is off the charts, yet I can run a speed test with 20 ping and stable up/down speed while having the game paused, and a YouTube video running in the background. It's infuriating and frustrating. Feels like utter bullshit when I die to things I dodged on my screen 30 seconds ago. 🤬
