I'm Australian, i can't play with my north american friends as i use to during the playtests anymore due to the ping limit & the resulting kick 20 seconds in.
Sadly this will greatly ruin my experience going forward if this stays the same, i'm assuming it effects all cross-continent playergroups.
Would be nice if the limit was raised due to this issue :(
I only average around 242MS to east US servers as an example.
