I am experiencing the issue exactly as @Mean2u444 has described. I am also in OC region and basically cannot play on EU servers due to insane rubber banding.
It started 1 week ago. It's never been this bad before. Even the worst lag during events was nothing compared to this. It is seriously unplayable.
I think it's network related because the server appears to tick away normally, eg my babies die exactly as expected while it takes 2 minutes to open their inventory.
