    Server: Connery
    Region (Player): US Mountain West
    Play Session: 3 May 2022. 4 PM Pacific - 7 PM Pacific.
    Ping Range: 4 PM - 6 PM Pacific: Network 40-60ms. Server: 60-80ms.
    6:15-7:00 PM Pacific: Network. 175-225ms. Server: 500-1300ms +/-.
    (Stable, low ping in the late afternoon before expected primetime. Gradually, worsens into the evening).

    Part of the World: California, roughly less than 2 hours away from Rogue Planet here
    Between 6:00 pm to 12:01 am Pacific Standard time
    Normally I get below 30 ms, but when latency spikes hit 150-4200 ms, I also get notifications in yellow of bad connects.

    I tested my fiber optics and it has a grade A++ rating thru what was recommended on the Rogue Planet site.

    I don't see these issues on Emerald at all and get between 70-100 ms, consistently. It actually runs smoother being an East Coast based server than Connery.

    Server: Connery
    Region (Player): US West Coast
    Play Session: 10:40 PM PST, May 5th 2022
    VPN: No
    ISP: Spectrum

    Fought at the Bastion (96+ vs 48+)
    Ping Range: (23-32ms), 2 Spikes, Max: 100ms
    Server Latency (37-89ms). 3 Spikes, Max: 181ms (555ms From an orbital at this fight)

    Connection has been better since the update. Spikes tend to happen once and then end.
    In April, I had 5 disconnects where my latency just kept increasing until the auto disconnect at 60000ms.

    I've noticed, people complain in chat about high latency when mine is fine, the server seems picks on specific players.

    ever since this connery update , cant seem to log into Soltech server now @ all get booted straight away. All my fellow team mates are the same, so cant play at all :(

    Location: Western Australia, Australia.
    checked add player ping 240+ at minimum. Used to be around 120 to 180 ping

    Thanks for your time

    Session Stats: Network 40-60ms. Server: 60-80ms.
    Network 175-225ms. Server: 500-1300ms +/-.

    I think another survey should be done on the Health of Connery Server Population!

    I hardly play on Connery anymore due to lack of player population. I would love the option to transfer my Connery characters to Emerald.

    Thanks for all you do!

    Friday afternoon through Friday night was low ping and stable (50-150 ms reported previously).

    Saturday night was somewhat playable with periods of high and unstable ping (Server Latency: >5000 ms). I was disconnected at one point. I heard multiple players were disconnected. This occurred around 10-11 PM Pacific.

    I did not play on Sunday.

    Respectfully, there should be a monitoring solution configured for this production service to collect these metrics. Consider Prometheus and Grafana.
