That's why I dropped POE2 at least until the next update.

I'm a pretty dedicated and tolerant player.
I can put up with a small amount of endgame content, a relatively limited number of enjoyable builds, and occasional client freezes.
But the last straw for me was the ping — which is fine in the hideout but jumps to 200-1500 when entering a map.

Sometimes, one map has insanely high ping, while the next one is completely fine. This randomness can lead to losing an expensive map, which makes me want to delete the game afterward.

I really hope this is one of the first issues the developers will fix.
